MONTREAL (AP) - Dave Andreychuk scored his sixth and seventh goals of the season as Buffalo defeated the Mon- treal Canadiens 5-2 last night and the Sabres moved into first place in the Natonal Hockey League's Adams Division. The Sabres, who made the most of the- 16 shots they unleashed at Montreal goaltender Richard Sevigny, have 31 points, one more than Boston, although the Bruins have three games in hand. Andreychuk's second goal - he fired in a rebound after Sevigny stopped a shot by Hannu Virta from the blueline at 1:16 of the third period - was especially damaging for the Canadiens, who trailed 3-2 at the time. The goal, which came with Bobby Smith in the penalty box, was the Sabres' second power-play effort of the game. Nordjques 6, Capitals 3 QUEBEC (AP) - Wilf Paiement scored two goals and his linemate Andre Savard had a goal and two assists to lead the Quebec Nordiques to a 5-3 National Hockey League victory over the Washington Capitals last night. It was the third straight victory at home for Quebec and snapped the Capitals' three-game unbeaten streak. Quebec left wing Michel Goulet broke a 3-3 tie with 26 seconds left in the second period to give the Nordiques a lead they never relinquished. Savard fired a short-handed goal at 7:34 on a third-period breakaway and Anton Stastny was set up perfectly by Goulet at 9:52 of the final session, to complete the scoring. Devils 3, Black Hawks 2 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Pat Verbeek's tie- breaking goal at 10:32 of the third period gave New Jersey a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Black Hawks last night, snap- ping the Devils' eight-game National Hockey League losing streak.

The Black Hawks, 10-13-2 overall, continued without a vic- tory on the road, extending their away record to 0-10-2. MMMME I m J Same old story for Lions fans . THE SPORTING VIEWS idays . . By SCOTT MCKINLAY Lions' fans of 1983 have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that the Lions, after their recent 45-3 Turkey Day gobbling of the Steelers at home in the Dome, are 7-6 and tied with the Minnesota Vikings for the NFC Central Division lead. The bad news is the Lions do not deserve to be in that fortunate position. They didn't earn it themselves by staying in their divisional race all season long; they backed into the lead, plain and simple. The Lions and their fans had to hold their breath Sunday while they watched the New Orleans Saints squeak by the Vikings, 17-6. That loss gave the Vikings and Lions identical 7-6. records. When the Lions get help from other' teams, they don't get help from William Clay Ford. Reinforcing mediocrity only breeds it. The Lions need a first string quarterback, not two second string QBs like they have now. But as long as we put 60,000 or more in the Silverdome to cheer for a team which wins 53% of its games, then they will continue to be a .500 ball club. But we can't forget about the good news. Detroit does have the inside track at winning its division. The last time the Lions won their division there were only 48 states. The Lions did win the Western Division (west of what?) in 1957. t.o.o.l Hawaii and Alaska were admitted to th 1959. Seems like a long time ago to som in 1962. Detroit can stay in the thick of th beating Minnesota in the Silverdom night. Green Bay and Chicago are stilll to faint hopes with their records tied a enough for second place in the NF( Ford lost in cabbage patch he Union in After Monday, Lions' fans will know whether aeone born to continue hoping. We just have to hold our breath for 5 more days. Just be thankful you're ie race by not a Piston fan holding out for a division title. e Monday They have never won one in their 26 years in holding on Detroit. At least the Tigers did it back in 1972, it 6-7, good the Wings in 1965. If Detroit didn't have the C Central. championship Panthers, (although they are the "Michigan" Panthers) we could still pull for the Express. They play soccer. Whether or not Detroit wins its division this year, they will always need Billy Sims. The question pertaining to Sims resigning with the Lions after his contract runs out this season is a popular one. Ford says he will do everything he can to sign Sims. That probably means he will of- fer Sims about the same deal, but he'll throw in a "Cabbage Patch Kid" as a signing bonus. Ford made sure to sign Monte Clark to a five year deal, but only signed Sims to a three year pact. Clark's record is still under .500 while with the Lions, and Sims is the one who could change that. But just watch, Sims will go to Houston to FS join Jerry Argovitz and his USFL Gamblers for oit? '84 and leave Clark and 60,000 fans yelling at James Jones. Will we fans ever learn, the Lions are always likely end lie'in. Ford is a business man and the Lions are o this Sun- his business. Oh well, 1957 wasn't all that long ago.. . I guess.

GODE RSEPRDUTINS IC OL YMPIC ROUNDUP: 84 Olympic baseball finals are sold out GOLDEN ROSE PRODUCTONS, INC. PRESENTS LhI\ LOS ANGELES (AP) - The baseball finals of the 1984 Olympic Summer Games at 50,000 seat Dodger Stadium are sold out and the 16-game tour- nament, a first in Olympic history, could draw more than 350,000 fans, of- ficials said yesterday. Between 260,000 and 280,000 advance tickets have been sold, according to Charles Cale, vice president in charge of sports for the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee. RELEGATED to one-game .exhibitions in seven previous Olympics, the 1984 tournament - an official event - "will be the greatest single event to promote the sport of baseball," said Rod Dedeaux, coach of the U.S. baseball team. ' "Millions worldwide have not seen baseball. They will see it through Olympic television coverage,'' Dedeaux said. Teams from six countries, including the host U.S. team, will compete over eight consecutive days in double- headers beginning July 31. Cuba, un- defeated in the Pan American Games and the world amateur powerhouse, is the No. 1 seed, followed by the U.S., South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Nicaragua and Italy. "There is no doubt that Cuba is the team to beat. They have 10-12 players who would be at the Class AAA or major league level in the U.S.," said Dedeaux, who will assemble a 20-man squad predominantly comprised of collegians. 46-wear-old gires up dream IOWA CITY (AP) - Russ Camilleri, a two-time Olympic wrestler who had been trying to make a comeback at age 46, apparently has given up hope of competing in the 1984 games. Camilleri, a hog and cattle farmer from Richland, Mo., had been working compete in four world games in ad- dition to the Olympics. '88 Winter Games extended CALGARY, Alberta (AP) - The 1988 Winter Games to be staged in Calgary will last for 15 days, the longest in history, the executive board of the In- ternational Olympic Committee has decided. The board has also agreed to allow Calgary to add three sports to the agen- da. The previous limit was two. The decisions must be ratified by the full committee during its 87th session the week before the 1984 Winter Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, next February. The key move is changing the dates - to Feb. 14-28 from Feb. 23-March 6. The decision breaks the committee charter, which says the Games are not to last more than 12 days.
