Page Twelve WELLSVILLE DAILY REPORTER, WELLSVILL6, NEW YORK Wednesday, March 29, 1972 Nets End Regular Season With Leafs Win; May Finish Tied For 2nd Lead By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) The New York Nets won two games Tuesday and Virginia's. New York closed out its regular season with a 92-86 victory over the Indiana Pacers, while the Virginia Squires dropped a 127-121 decision to the Carolina Cougars. As a result, the Nefs pulled within one half-game of Virginia in the race for second place in the American Basketball Association's East Division. The Squires wind up their regular schedule at Memphis tonight.

If Virginia loses tonight, the teams will finish in a tie with 44-40 won-loss records. A one- game playoff would be held to determine the second place finisher. What's the difference between finishing second and third? The difference is in first- round playoff opponents, and its a big difference. The second place finisher will meet the Floridians, who assured themselves of a playoff Holdout Continues berth Tuesday night by beating Memphis 118-107 and clinching fourth place in the ABA East. The team that finishes third, meanwhile, has the dubious honor of drawing the Kentucky Colonels, the club with the best record in the entire ABA, as a first-round opponent.

In other ABA games, Dallas edged Utah 98-95 and Kentucky nipped Pittsburgh 134-132. In opening games of the National Basketball Association Western Conference playoffs, Golden State upset Milwaukee 117-106 and Los Angeles defeated Chicago 95-80. The Nets did their part in the battle for second place by beating Indiana. Now they can just hope Memphis beats Virginia tonight. John Roche starting at guard in place of Bill Melchionni, out with a broken hand, scored 22 points for the Nets, but the high man was Rick Barry, who celebrated his 28th birthday by scoring 32 points.

Roger Brown was high scorer for the Pacers with 23 points and center Mel Daniels added 22. Wendell Ladner hit a jump shot with 45 seconds to go, breaking a late tie and sparking Carolina to victory over the Squires. Larry Miller was Carolina's high scorer with 29 points. Despite their victory, the Cougars were eliminated from the playoff picture when the Floridians defeated Memphis. Warren Jabali tallied 30 points, Larry Jones 25 and Willie Long 21 for the Floridians, while Randy Denton was high man for Memphis with 21.

Donnie Freeman scored 19 points, Rich Jones 17 and George Johnson 13 to pace Dallas. It broke a string of 34 games in which Freeman had scored at least 20 points. Dan Issel paced Kentucky with 29 points and broke an ABA single season scoring record with 2,525 points in 82 games. That's one more than Charlie Scott of Virginia had in 73 games before jumping to Phoenix of the NBA. Issel has one regular season game remaining.

Another Rugged Day At The Office For Oakland's Blue By RON ROACH Associated Press Sports Writer SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) Vida Blue, the best pitcher in baseball last season, playfully shuffled the papers on the desk and quipped, "another hard day at the office." The 22-year-old Oakland A's holdout admitted Tuesday that his mind is still set on playing baseball this year despite foreseeing no immediate agreement in contract talks with A's owner Charles 0. Finley. "I may sound like a fool," said Vida. "I'm going to play baseball this season and if I play, I'm going to be happy." Does this mean that Blue will come down from his demand, already lowered from more than $100,000 to $75,000, or that Finley may come up from his apparently unyielding offer of He said "nothing has happened" to bring him closer to a settlement.

He rejected Finley's latest offer, $50,000 plus a reported payment up to $5,000 to his attorney, Robert Gerst of Los Angeles. "I'm still at the same place I was when we first met on Jan. 8 in Chicago," Blue said of the meeting that opened contract negotiations. "I thought there would be an agreement by now." The Louisiana native, still residing in Oakland, doesn't actually report to his job at Dura Steel until April 3. He has a position to promote the company's bathroom fixture products.

He was here for the purpose of publicity pictures for which he met a customer and posed writing out an order. He also received a check for $2,500 in advance on his salary. Does he like the idea of being a business executive? "I'm not saying I don't like this job, but compared to baseball "Why should I sit around?" Blue said he doesn't intent to just sit around on his job at Dura Steel. "I hope to learn and do well here, really," he said. Vida, 24-8 last year in his first full major league season, won the American League most valuable player and Cy Young awards.

The left-hander said he has been running up to two miles most days to keep in shape but hasn't been throwing baseballs recently. If he were to join the A's now, he said, it would take about a month for him to get into condition to pitch. Bucs' Robertson Homers Twice By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Bob Robertson won instant fame in the 1971 World Series as the world's longest bunter. Now, he's trying to win acclaim as a spring training and without the bunt sign. The Pittsburgh Pirates' first baseman hit a home run against Baltimore last October to win a Series' game.

He didn't know until he had circled the bases that Manager Danny Murtaugh had signaled for a sacrifice. Robertson homered twice against St. Louis Tuesday for a 6-2 exhibition baseball victory. It was the second time within a week he slugged two homers in a game. The pair against the Cards gives him five for the spring training games and 16 runs batted in.

Don Money had homered earlier for Philadelphia. A two-run homer by Harmon Killebrew pulled Minnesota into a tie with Boston and the game was called because of rain after eight innings. In NBA Playoffs Warriors Stun Bucks; By one Lakers Overcome Bulls By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The path to the fourth and final playoff spot in the National Hockey League's East Division will not be easy for the Toronto Maple Leafs or the Detroit Red Wings in the final five days of the regular season. Lying in their way are three of the league's toughest Boston Bruins, East Division champions with 117 points; the New York Rangers, East Division runners-up with 108 points, and the Chicago Black Hawks, West Division champions with 102 points. Going into tonight's action, in which Toronto entertains Boston and Detroit plays at New York, the Maple Leafs hold a one-point edge over the Red Wings 76-75.

Toronto will complete its season with a home game against New York Saturday night and a game at Boston Sunday. Detroit plays its final game Sunday, at Chicago. The Red Wings closed to within a point of idle Toronto Tuesday night by rallying for four goals in the final period and a 6-3 victory over Boston at Detroit. Elsewhere in the NHL Tuesday night, St. Louis edged Vancouver 2-1 and Philadelphia and Minnesota tied 2-2.

Detroit skated to a 2-0 lead on Alex Delvecchio's 20th goal of the season, the 13th season the Wings' captain has scored 20 or more, and Tim Ecclestone's 18th goal. But the Bruins, leading the league in goals with 318, charged back for a 3-2 lead after two periods on goals by Phil Esposito, Wayne Cashman and Bobby Orr. Esposito's was his 65th, tops in the league. Leon Rochefort's goal at 4:51 of the third period got the Red Wings even at 3-3. Then, de- fenseman Arnie Brown put them ahead at 9:14 with his second goal of the season.

A minute and 52 seconds later, Nick Libett got his 30th goal, and Mickey Redmond completed the scoring with his 41st goal. Garry Unger's 35th and 36th goals of the season lifted St. Louis past Vancouver and clincheda post-season playoff berth for the Blues for the fifth straight year. Philadelphia, fourth in the West, moved two points ahead of idle Pittsburgh in the battle for the division's final playoff spot by tying Minnesota and Ross Lonsberry's goal at 13:57 of the second period. Earlier, Bob Kelly scored for Philadelphia and Dennis Hextall tallied twice for Minnesota.

Savoir Faire Wins At Batavia Downs By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS An easy win by Marty Dares at Yonkers and a close win by Savoir Faire at Batavia Downs highlighted New York State harness action Tuesday night. Marty Dares, glided by Buddy Gilmour, took charge just past the half and beat Boy San by iMj lengths in the featured $6,000 pace. The time was 2:04 2-5. The payoff was $4.60, $3.60 and $2.80. Haute Scholar was third.

At Batavia, Savoir Faire edged Terri Lee in the featured $1,400 pace and paid $9.40, $5.20 and $3.80. The time was 2:09 3-5 with Gary Gibson driving. Lenawee Special showed. 'Chances Are We'll Be Better' Birds' Weaver MIAMI, Fla. (AP) The Baltimore Orioles have won 318 regular season games and nine straight in the playoffs while sweeping to three straight American League pennants.

For 1972, Manager Earl Weaver sees likely improvement for the Orioles. "There's no reason we should be any worse," Weaver said, "and chances are we'll be better." Dave McNally, one of four Baltimore 20-game winners last year, was out of action 38 days. Boog Powell, the league's Most Valuable Player of 1970, hit below his weight at .256. Paul Blair, off to a slow start, managed to hit just .262. Weaver, always optimistic and aggressive, doesn't expect such misfortune again.

The Orioles never won a pennant until outfielder Frank Robinson arrived, and then they won four in six seasons. Put Robinson was dealt off to the Los Angeles Dodgers. So The incomparable Brooks Robinson at third anchors the infield which includes shortstop Mark Belanger, second baseman Dave Johnson and Powell at first. All but Powell won Golden Glove fielding awards in 1971. Either Chico Salmon or Jerry DaVanon will join Grich in the backup role for the infield, with the loser being dealt off.

The pitching rotation of McNally, Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar and Pat Dobson won 81 games last year and started 143 times with 71 complete games. As a result, the bullpen didn't get work and wasn't too effective much of the time. Of that group, Pete Richert went to the Dodgers, Dick Hall retired and Tom Dukes, 1-5, appeared on shaky ground as spring training progressed. Harrison, Alexander and Dave Leonhard were in a battle for the No. 5 spot starter and long relief roles, while veterans Eddie Watt and Grant Jackson were the chief short men out of the bullpen.

O'Brien could be sent back to the minors if Scott showed enough to stick, and veteran Dave Boswell was again in the position of having to impress while not getting much work. By winning 101 games last year, the Orioles became the third team in major league history to reach that mark three consecutive seasons. If they do it again this year, they'll stand alone. "Of course, I'd like to win 100 very much," Weaver said. "But that's not a goal.

I'd just like to win the American League pennant." the rest of the team is on its own. Baltimore, never known for standing pat, could open the season with seven newcomers on the 25-man roster, including five rookies up from Rochester. They include infielder Bobby Grich, who hit .383 and .336 the past two years, and outfielder Don Baylor, .327 and .313 the last two seasons. Both are labeled as "can't miss" prospects. Also moving up from a productive farm system are Roric Harrison, 15-5, and reliever Mickey Scott, 9-1, and catcher Johnny Oates.

Moving to Baltimore in the Robinson trade are Doyle Alexander, 6-6 with Los Angeles, and reliever Bob O'Brien. At the start, at least, Baylor and Grich are slated for spot duty behind veteran units in the outfield and infield. Don Buford, Blair and Merv Rettenmund, the club's leading hitter the past two years, form the outfield. Baylor, Tom Shop- ay and Terry Crowley will be the reserves. Ellie Hendricks and Andy Etchebarren will again be pla- tooned at catcher.

They combined for 71 FBI last year. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Is Oscar Robertson, one of the greatest players in National Basketball Association history, hurting to the point where it will cost the Milwaukee Bucks defense of their league title? The 33-year-old Robertson, the NBA's second leading all- time scorer and top playmaker, has been suffering from a strained muscle in his abdomen since Feb. 4. It showed Tuesday night as the Bucks were upset by the Golden State Warriors 117-106 in the opening game of their best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series at Milwaukee. In the other Western Conference semifinal, the Los Angeles Lakers, who won a record 69 games during the regular season, began their series against Chicago by wearing down the injury riddled Bulls 95-80 at Los Angeles.

The Boston Celtics, for many years the league's most dominant team, make their first post-season appearance in three seasons, entertaining the Atlanta Hawks tonight in the opening game of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The other Eastern Conference semifinal begins Friday night at Baltimore, with the Bullets facing the New York Knicks. All series are best-of-seven games. In the American Basketball Association Tuesday night, it was: Carolina 127, Virginia 121; Kentucky 134, Pittsburgh 132; New York 92, Indiana 86; Floridians 118, Memphis 107, and Dallas 98, Utah 95. Golden State's Jim Barnett, who was guarded by Robertson, ran Oscar ragged and scored a game-high 30 points for the Warriors.

Kareem-Jabbar, the league's leading scorer and Most Valuable Player for the second straight year, led the Bucks with 28 points, seven below his average. Robertson, seeing his most extensive action since suffering his injury, had 23. Guards Gail Goodrich with 32 points and Jerry West with 23 keyed Los Angeles' victory over Chicago. Each scored six points when the Lakers ran off 15 consecutive points early in the third period and moved from a 49-43 deficit to a commanding 58-49 lead. Not only did the Bulls lose the game, they lost two players by injuries.

Center Tom Boer- winkle again tore fibers in the back of his left knee, and Coach Dick Motta said the 7- foot pivotman wouldn't play again in the series. Forward Chet Walker, a 20- point scorer during the regular season but held to five by the Lakers, also suffered an injury to his left knee and is not expected to play in the series' second game Thursday night.

Now he wants to compete in the Olympic discus for a country he's never set foot in. Because his country's racial policies have led to its being banned from the Olympic Games, Van Reenen is an athlete without a country. He says he loves South Africa but is more dedicated to the discus. Last week, the 6-foot-7, 275- pounder hurled the platter 209 feet 5 inches for a South African record. He's using a new technique with which he's sure he'll soon be the best in the world.

So to gain entrance to the Olympics, he's written the amateur athletic association of Holland. He said an official from Hoi- Williams Led NFL In K-Off Returns NEW YORK (AP) Travis Williams of Los Angeles, who blazed an electrifying 105 yards for a touchdown against New Orleans, was the National Football League's leading kickoff return specialist in 1971. "The Roadrunner" of the Rams, who led the league in 1967 when he played for Green Bay, topped the runback men with a 29.7-yard average on 25 kickoff returns totaling 743 yards. Ron Jessie of the Detroit Lions was second in the league and the National Conference with a 29.4 average on 16 returns totaling 470 yards. Stadium Contracts Receive Approval BUFFALO (AP) Erie County lawmakers Tuesday authorized contracts totaling $18.6 million for construction of a new football stadium to house the Buffalo Bills.

The county legislature also approved a resolution calling for an April 4 groundbreaking at the stadium site in suburban Orchard Park. An architect's timetable calls for completion of the open-air facility by June 15, 1973. A 25-year lease the Bills football club signed with the county stipulates the stadium must be ready for occupancy by Aug. 1 of next year. A 15-4 vote on the contracts authorized pacts with four Buffalo-area firms.

The largest contract, covering general construction and seating, was a $15.7 million order awarded to the John W. Cowper Co. The legislature also approved the acquisition of 25 additional acres of land at the stadium site and voted to require stadium contractors to participate in an apprenticeship program for moniroty-group workers. The American Conference leader, fifth over-all, was Mercury Morris of the Miami Dolphins, who averaged 28.2 yards, amassing 423 yards on 15 returns. Williams, whose scamper in the Rams' nationally televised game Dec.

5 against the Saints, had the season's longest runback. The AFC's longest runback also came on Dec. 5 when Morris ripped off a 94-yarder for a touchdown against New England. And Morris' feat was the only kickoff return for a touchdown in the AFC. Conversely, in the NFC, eight were run back for scores, two apiece by Jessie and Isaac Thomas of the Dallas Cowboys.

Williams, Dave Hampton of Green Bay, Rocky Thompson of the New York Giants and George Hoey of St. Louis had the others. Hampton was the runningest returner in the league, taking 46 kickoffs one short of the NFL 1,314 yards, just three short of the league yardage mark. The AFC leader in both categories was Linzy Cole of Houston, returning 32 kickoffs for 834 yards. land told him last year "there would be no problem gaining citizenship" but Van Reenen said he had no idea of how long he'd have to live there or what the legal problems would be.

"The way I feel about it is, I'd miss not competing for South Africa," he said, "but I'm basically apolitical and this ban of South Africa from the Olympics is purely a political move." He said South Africa was penalized because of its apartheid policy of separating blacks and whites. "But we're integrating all over down there," he says, referring to integrated athletic contests. "It's ridiculous to penalize one country for something like that and then let a country like Rhodesia compete. And what about countries like Russia with its persecution of the Jews, and what about Red China? The way the International Olympic Committee is running the Olympics now, it's all bull. They discriminate just as much as those they punish." At Washington State University, Van Reenen was one of the leading shot put and discus men in collegiate competition.

He won the NCAA discus title three times in a only times he was flipped the shot 65-0. He was an art major and now hopes to earn a living is a cartoonist for a national track publication. Four nights a week, the massive fellow with the wide grin is a bouncer at Papa Joe's Rock Emporium and Screen Door Factory, a nightclub in Redondo Beach south of Los Angeles. He said he's considering other countries besides Holland for possible citizenship. "I just don't want to be left out, not now when I'm one of the best in the world." Trevino Tourney Favorite By BOB GREEN Associated Press Golf Writer GREENSBORO, N.C.

(AP) Lee Trevino, coming off a week's rest and primed by some unusually serious preparations, ranked as a mild favorite in an exceptionally strong field arrayed for the $200,000 Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament. "By the time the tournament starts, I'll have in six or eight practice rounds," he said Tuesday before another prep session on the par Sedgefield Country Club course. "That's really unusual for me. I usually get in just one practice round and then play in the tournament. I don't know that I've ever had this much practice before.

I think it'll be good for me." Trevino, the 1971 Athlete of the Year, took some time away from the tour last first break of the came to Greensboro early after finishing some business commitments in New York. Trevino, winner of three national open titles last season, admitted he also was using the practice time to sharpen his game for next week's Masters, an event he has boycotted for the last two years. He faces a very strong field in this 72-hole event that begins Thursday. The 147-man field includes 43 of the top 50 money winners from last season, with Jack Nicklaus the only superstar among the missing. Nicklaus, the season's leading money winner, the only two- time champion and runner-up to Gary Player in last week's Greater New Orleans Open, took the week off to visit Augusta, and get ready for the Arnold Palmer filed a late entry and joined Billy Casper, Player, current Masters champion Charles Goody, England's Tony Jacklin, George Archer and defending titleholder Buddy Allin as Trevino's chief challengers for the rich $40,000 first prize.
