"Maybe we can get two cars or even one added to the field and work out some method on prize money so no one would really get hurt." At the time of his meeting with Cloutier, there were signed agreements representing 12 qualified cars in his possession, agreeing that at least some of the II unqualified machines that were in line Saturday be granted a chance at making the starting field. "We also have verbal assurances from other entry representatives that they'll go along with us," said Hugus. "Roger Penske said he would sign if we get two-thirds of the 33 cars signed up and I think we can do that." Hugus came out of his meeting with Cloutier reasonably confident that something could be worked out to satisfy everyone.

"Mr. Cloutier was sympathetic to our feelings and has agreed to talk to some of the other Speedway officials and see what might be worked out," he said. "Neither side is going to issue a statement yet, until we can do some talking with members of both groups." Earlier in the day, Hugus had received a 25-hour extension from the United States Auto Club on presenting signed statements from representatives of the 33 cars already qualified. That detail is supposed to be handled by noon today-and Hugus said if nothing has happened by then, he is ready to consider other alternatives. "Probably the first thing we could do would be go to court and ask for an injunction against the race," he said.

"And I can think of at least eight other legal actions we could take. "But we don't want to do that. All we want Is for every car to have at least one try at qualifications." Because the IMS could expect lawsuits from already qualified cars should they be "bumped" by any special qualification procedures, the proposal Hugus was talking about probably would be to allow the two alternates Denny Zimmerman in the MVS car and Jigger Sirois in the Adams entry to have the first two spots in a 12th row with the other cars fighting for the remaining spot. "I don't think prize money would be a problem," said Hugus when asked if the split would be among 36 cars instead of 33. "We can work out something where no one would get hurt financially." Not since 1933 when 42 cars started the 500, have there been more than 33 machines permitted to take the green flag.

Tom Binford, chief steward for this year's race, after granting the extension for receipt of the signed statements, said any decision on "extra" qualifications would have to be the Speedway's. He also said the first four or five cars coming through the pit gate Saturday morning were logged in for qualifying order and the remainder were picked up at the qualifying line. That is one of the major arguments of contention by Hugus' group, that no clear procedure was given for lining up for qualifying spots an aspect that became of paramount importance when Car 94 qualified, thus ending the "guaranteed" lineup of cars. ISy RAY MARQUETTE Just like the rain that continued to fall on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway yesterday, rumbles of discontent over the abbreviated qualification schedule have refused to stop. Wright Hugus of Greenwich, a lawyer who also works with the Roy Woods racing team, is continuing his fight to have at least six of the 11 cars remaining in line Saturday when time trials ended receive a chance to make Sunday's 500-Mile Race.

Hugus and representatives from some of those machines met with IMS Vice-President Joe Cloutier yesterday, trying to work out a compromise so at least some of the cars that never received an attempt to qualify have a shot at making the field. He went Into the meeting with a proposal that an extra row of three cars be added to the traditional 33-car starting field-with "cither 5 or 6" cars attempting qualifications for a spot.

Although the Flyers' good luck charm, Kate Smith, made a personal appearance to sing "God Bless America," it was Boston which appeared more inspired by the grand lady. Picking up their tight checking tactics from Thursday's 5-1 victory, the Bruins kept tremendous pressure on Parent for the most of the opening session, getting 14 shots on goal in the first 14 minutes, while Philadelphia could respond with only four. But the Flyers, taking advantage of their first power play opportunity, struck the critical blow. First, the Bruins' Terry O'Reilly left for hooking Philadelphia's Bill Barber, and 24 seconds later, Bobby Orr and K.O. PUNCH-The Philadelphia Flyers' Rick Macteish (19) is mobbed by his teammates after scoring the only goal of the game as Philly wrapped up the Stanley Cup championship series yesterday at home.

(AP Wirephoto) From AP And UPI Philadelphia The Philadelphia Flyers, behind the sensational goal-tending of Bernie Parent yesterday afternoon became the first expansion team in history to win the Stanley Cup, edging the Boston Bruins 1-0 on a first period power play goal by Rick MacLeish. The Bruins ruined their last chance to get even' when veteran John Bucyk was penalized at 14:54 of the third period and Bobby Orr at 17:38. As a result, they weren't able to remove goalie Gilles Gilbert until the closing seconds of play. BY BEATING Boston four games to two in the championship round, the Flyers struck a final blow of equality for the six expansion teams that joined the National Hockey League in 1967. Ironically, they did so by emulating the often bruising tactics that the Bruins used in winning the Stanley Cup in 1970 and 1972.

It is another irony that Parent, taken by Philadelphia from the Bruins in the 1967 expansion draft, should be the hero. Last year, playing for the Philadelphia Blazers of the World Hockey Association, Parent quit the team during the playoffs in a money dispute. Philadelphia fans' long ago forgave Parent, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP, and the mustachioed goaltender was at his supreme best in the clincher, driving away all 30 shots sent at him, including 16 in the inihans insor stii now Tribe, THEY PLAYED MUSICAL chairs yesterday with practice time for the 33-car starting field at the Speedway. The original buletin issued showed track practice Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Saturday it was reported the time would be 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Then yesterday it was changed back to the 2-hour period but not for long. Even though fireman had been told the tracV would be in operation for only the 2-hour period, it was decided by Speedway officials that the practice would extend from 10 a.m. to 3 o'clock and fire chief Cleon Reynolds had to get in touch with his people-unless the schedule is jockeyed around again.

THE HEAVY RAINS OVER the weekend not only disrupted the qualification schedule but forced a day's postponement for the annual Mike Sullivan golf tournament for race drivers and other members of the fraternity. Wet grounds on the Speedway's championship course forced the postponement from today until tomorrow. The same 10 a.m. shotgun start will be used with the same pairings.

made the race field Saturday in the Tassi Vatis car prepared by Bill Finley. FOR THE FIRST TIME in Speedway history, no front-engine race car made an appearance either on the track or in the area. Jim Hurtubise had entered his Mallard, but never brought the car to the track. JOE FITZSIMJMNS, THE MAN with the ever-present cigar and a race follower for years, has decided to auction off his special "decal mirror" following the drivers' golf tournament with proceeds going to the Art Pollard fund at Larue Carter Hospital. "This is the 12th year I've prepared a mirror at the Holiday Inn (across from the track)," said Fitz "I have between 150 and 200 decals and this is the best-looking one I've ever put together." THE SEVEN ROOKIE DRIVERS in the 500 field aren't close to the record for one race.

Since Bob Laycock has been keeping records (1946) in the Speedway press room, the largest number has been 12 in 1951. Two years ago there were eight and when Mario Andretti was a rookie in '65, there were 11. WHO ARE THE SMALLEST MEN in the race this year?

Bombs getting ready to use a fourth hurler at the start of the next inning and were trailing, 5-3. Indianapolis got on the scoreboard in the fifth Inning on a two-out single by Ray Knight and a run-scoring double by Doug Flynn. Ken Griffey belted his first home run of the season off Manz leading off the sixth and then Flynn drove in Dusan with a sacrifice fly in the seventh. Dusan and DeFreites the Flyers' Bobby Clarke roughed each other, leaving Philadelphia with a four to three edge in manpower on the ice. On a faceoff in the Boston zone, MacLeish snatched the puck from Greg Sheppard and poked it to Andre Dupont just inside the Boston blue line.

Dupont got off a drive that glanced off MacLeish's stick and hopped over the stick of Boston goalie Gilbert into the net. It was the 13th goal of the playoffs for MacLeish, THE BRUINS had numerous scoring opportunities after that, with defenseman Carol Vadnais getting eight shots on goal in the first two periods. But they couldn't quite pick up the same steam they showed in the opening period. Wichita today before opening a home series against the Iowa Oaks tomorrow night.
