Islanders Kill Penalties, Penguins 5-3 Kittanning, Po. Monday, Mar. By United Press International PITTSBURGH (UPI) The returns are in and both sides agree penalty killing.was the key to the New York Islanders' 5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins Sunday. The Penguins had a two-man advantage for almost four minutes in the first period but were unable to score against New York. "Our guys did such a tremendous-job penalty killing, it had to give us a lift," boasted Islander Coach Al Arbour.

"They have great shooters but we held them and then we realty turned it on ourselves. I think not being able to score then took a lot out of them," he said. Wilkinsburg Junior High tourney King FORD CITY Wilkinsburg won the championship of the Junior High School basketball tournament, which concluded Saturday night in the Ford City High School gym, by defeating Greensburg Salem 68-45 in the finals.

"When they killed those penalties there, that changed the whole game. We really didn't make them move. We didn't pass the puck across the ice once on that power play," Schock lamented.

"We just kept shooting from the point and Bill Smith kept catching everything we sent his way." Arbour also credited Smith's goaltending as a factor in the New York victory. "You have to give Smitty a lot of credit. He made some really great stops out there. The three goals he did give up were all well-earned. He was impressive, to say the least." New York's All Star defenseman, Denis Potvin, approached the penalties which put the Islanders two-men down from a different angle.

"I was burned up at that penalty I took (un- sportsmanlike conduct). We were a man down already and Jean Pronovost just took my feet out from under me. I pointed my stick at (Referee Andy) Van Hellemond and he must have thought I was threatening him. I was just pointing out what Pronovost did to me," explained Potvin, who contributed a goal and two assists to the New York victory. Potvin, complaining about his performance of late, expressed hope that Sunday's game may have been a turning point for him.

"I haven't been playing well at all lately. My passing has been off and that's a big part of my game. But I talked with Al Arbour about it this afternoon and I think I'm back in stride again," he said. The Islanders scored four goals in eight minutes of the second period to stretch their unbeaten streak to eight games (6-0-2). New York got goals from Ed Westfall, Garry Howatt, Potvin and Clark Gillies.

Schock scored two goals in only the second Penguin loss in 15 games (9-2-5). Pierre Larouche scored his 39th goal in the first period. 11 National Hockey League: Canadians Run for Home DUNCAN MOTOR SALES NEW MANAGEMENT AND NEW HOURS AT Duncan Motor Sales Fri. 9 A.M.-9 P.M.

Connors a Country Boy; Australia Down Under 6-1 By United Press International The Canadiens, hockey's most successful franchise with 17 Stanley Cups and 22 first place finishes, clobbered the Detroit Red Wings 6-1 Sunday night to maintain their eight point lead over Philadelphia in the battle for the most points during the regular season of the National Hockey League. The more points a team can roll up during the 80-game schedule, the longer it can claim a home ice advantage in the playoffs.

The team with the most points naturally would have the home ice advantage if it should reach the finals. Steve Shutt, Doug Rise- brough, Yvon Lambert, Murray Wilson all players who have joined the Canadiens during the past three seasons combined for five goals and four assists to provide Montreal its league- leading 49th victory. The triumph also gave Montreal 108 points.

UPI) This time, Jimmy Connors was waving the flag instead of a fat paycheck. "You play for your country and, No. 2, you play for pride," said the flamboyant Connors Sunday after the United States won its first World Cup tennis tournament in five years by whipping the Australians 6-1. The prize money $45,000 for the winning team and $25,000 for the losers haft nothing to do with it, members of both teams said.

"You don't even think about the money," said Tony Roche, whose mind still was on Connors, who toyed with him en route to a 7-5 win. Connors, hitting winners with every imaginable shot, said the key to the cup series was the rivalry between the world's two tennis powers. "Even in a tournament where an American plays an Australian, there's a little something extra there," he said. "That's what tennis is all about." "We are very happy to win, we knew we had a tough match," said American Captain Dennis Ralston, not trying to irritate the Australians who had begun to think of the cup asjheir own. Aussie Captain Fred Stolle, whose club seemingly never had a chance as the Americans got the momentum by winning the first match Thursday night and clinching the title Saturday, drily said his men had been "quite used to the trophy." Ralston teamed with Arthur Ashe, voted the tourney's Most Valuable Player, to win Sunday's final match, a 7-6, 6-3 victory over Phil Dent and John Alexander.

In the opening games of Monday's doubleheader at the Civic Arena, Midland, the favorite in both the WPIAL and PIAA Class AA title chases, plays Washington.

Midland is seeing its fourth straight WPIAL championship. Schuermann carried Baldwin into Monday's District 7 semifinals with victories over Knoch and Laurel Highlands. In those two games he scored 65 points, pulled down 33 rebounds and blocked nine shots. But Schuermann undoubtedly wilt find the Steeler's- defense rough going. Farrell's two big men, 6-6 Cornelius Homes and 6-5 Steve Miodrag, who can shoot as well as they can rebound, pose a real threat to the Highlanders.

The Steelers also have speed in the backcourt in Daryl Callahan, Clarence Gilchrest and Tim Odem. And they have a tough swing man in 6-2 Ray Odem. Twin Bill Is Pitched At Baseball Owners NEW YORK (UPI) Two new elements this weekend in the bargaining table battle between the major i league baseball club owners' and the Players Bowie Kuhn and a deadline for owner inactivity. Both elements were introduced by Executive Director Marvin Miller of the Players- Association at a news conference Saturday to explain why his union is not at fault in the stalemate which has caused a delay in spring training. Miller said the association, was worried that if and when a new basic a is negotiated, Kuhn might step in i to rule it void.

He also said the owners would have until April: 25 to determine the future of I the game because that is the latest day the players can! receive their initial pay checks for the 1976 season. "The players are willing and able' to play," Miller said. "April 15 is their first payday and if the players are not paid, the contract says the clubs have 10 days to correct the situation. The owners will have to either pay the players or their franchises will have no' players." Miller then disclosed another' issue of difference in the negot i at ion s--Kuhn. "There's the Bowie Kuhn, problem," explained "During the Andy Messersmith arbitration, Kuhn made the.

Statement that he believed tie had the authority to take the. matter out of the arbitrator's! hands under the integrity of the I game and make a decision' himself.
