Army Basketball Tourney Moves Info Third Round Seneca Army Depot, N.Y. led off the second day of tournament in the First U.S. Army cage tourney at Indiantown Gap by defeating New Cumberland Army Depot, Pa. by a handy 77-63 count. A second half effort by Seneca, in which they outscored their opponents by twenty-three points was more than the West Shore soldiers could handle.

Garland Williams (27) and Percy Hicks (21) led Seneca while Fred Williams (21) was tops for the losers. John Wyatt (19) led Vint Hill, Va. to a close 58-55 win over Camp Drum, N.Y. Drum's Jimmy Wilson (22) took individual scoring honors for the contest. Ft.

Hamilton, N.Y., led by Ben Clark (20) took Ft. Detrick, Md. by a score of 83-68. However, individual game high went to Jim Morgan (25) who hit the nets for fifteen points in the last six minutes. Walter Reed Army Medical Center, D.C.

fell to their fellow soldier medics from Valley Forge 70-66 as the Quaker Staters took their second tourney win in as many days. Farris Geter (27) again led Valley Forge while Dennis Moore (22) led the visitors from the Nation's Capital. Big Claude Virden, property of the Kentucky Colonels, hit the cords for 33 counters and grabbed 21 rebounds as Ft. Monroe, Va. put in their bid as a top contender by taking West Point, N.Y.

87-83. Jimmy Murphy again was the standout for West Point as he matched Virden's 33 points and shared game honors. Camp A. P. Hill, led by Larry Williams (35) and Bob Atkinson (28), took their neighboring Camp Pickett rivals 82-75.

Euras-kine Lyon led the losers with 30 points. Ft. Hancock, N.J. built up a sixteen-point lead by intermission which was too much for Ft. Holabird, Md.

to overcome and fell by a 90-71 count. The steady play of Hancock, along with the power of Fred Nix (28) and Bill Schutsky, former All- American at Army, puts them in contention as a tourney favorite Arlington Hall, Va. had little trouble in their game with Ft Ritchie, Md. as they took the Free Staters 105-65, using'their first team sparingly throughout the game. Seven of Arlington's players hit the double figures and they now are regarded highly as the team to beat.

Kurtz, Imurontt Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr, John Bucyk, Ken Hodge and Wayne Cashman combining for 179 goals and 287 assists, the Bruins the top four scorers in the league and five among the top eight. Esposito, leading the league in goals -with 52 and total points with 117, is within easy hailing distance of two individual ecords: Bobby Hull's mark of 8 goals in 1968-69 and Esposito's nvn record of 126 total points, also in 1968-69.

With a four-game schedule this week, the Bruins could become the winnirvgest, highest- scoring team in NHL history. The EasWMvision leaders have 44 wins and 301 goals. The records- are 46 wins by the Montreal Canadiens in 1968-69, and 303 goals, set by Boston that same season. If the Beantowners establish these marks, it will push to 12 the number of records- they've established this season. Another dozen are within their grasp.

Some of the records established by the Bruins so far this season include: most scoring points (830); most assists (529); most shorthand goals, season (20); most points by a line (Esposito, Hodge, most goals by a center (52, Esposito) and most players scoring 20-or-more By JOHN G. GRIFFIN UPI Sports Editor FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (UPI) The way manager Ralph Houk sees it, it's a matter of simple arithmetic that his New York Yankees have a chance to beat out the world champion Baltimore Orioles this year in the American League East. The Orioles, en route to their spectacular World Series triumph, merely cadistanced the second-place Yankees by 15 games in the A. L.

East in 1970 but tough, cigar-chewing "Major" Houk is a sort of fellow you listen to respectfully. "Remember," Houk reminds you, "we won 93 games las year. I figure we're going to win maybe seven or eight more than that this year. If we win IflO games or thereabouts, we are going to win the division or come awful close." Does that mean Houk doesn' think the Orioles can match their total of 108 victories of las year? Others Improved goals (eight). Individual icorlm Espoilto, Boston Orr, Boston Bucyk, Boston Hodge, Boston Hull, Chicago Ullmin, Toronto Keon, Toronto Caihman, Boston Btllveau, Montreal New York "They could have their problems," Houk said, "and other clubs in the division have improved, which could cut down on their win total." Well, assuming that happens, where are the Yankees going to get those extra seven or eight victories from? "From our fourth and fifth pitchers," Houk answers promptly.

"We had three top starting pitchers last year Fritz Peterson (20-11), Mel Stottlemyre (15-13), and Stan Bahnsen (14-11). Our problem was that we didn't have a strong fourth man, or a fifth man. "Mike Kekich came on strong at the end of the season. He could be the fourth starter, or Bill Burbach, Mike McCormick, or Gary Waslewski. I think our pitching compares very favorably with the Orioles.

Last year we managed to score off the Orioles, but we didn't hold them A PIS down very well." As for batting, Houk has very high hopes for John Ellis as perhaps the next great Yankee slugger. it 47 "We still have to see how he develops, of course," Houk said, but he could be an old-time lugger. (Editors note when he Yankees talk of old-time luggers, they mean people like Gehrig and Joe DIMaggio and Mickey Mantle). He could very well be another Harmon Killebrew-type slugger." The first problem with big Hlis, a right-handed hitter who had seven homers in 78 games year, is where to play him. Fle's on the roster as a catcher- first baseman, but first Houk Is to try him at third base.

If Ellis plays third, then Curt Blefary and Danny Cater are the leading candidates, along with Tony Solaita and Frank Tcpedino. Switch-hitter Horace Clarke seems set at second base and Frank Baker could take shortstop away from Gene Michael. Roy White (.296) and Bobby Murcer (.251) are set in the outfield, with Cater, Blefary and Tepcdino top candidates for the other spot. The catching is in two pairs of capable hands righthander Thurman Munson, A.L. "rookie of the year" ast year with a .302 average and lefthanded Jake 1 Bullpen Sound Yankee relief pitching Is in sound shape, with veteran Lindy McDaniel (9-5) with a 2.01 earned run average heading the brigade that also could include Jack Aker (4-2) and 2.06.

Ron Klimkowski (6-7) and 2.64 and mayhe Steve Kline (6-6). 'I thought in the second half of last season McDaniel was the best end man game-ending pitcher in baseball," said Houk. The Yankees were a surprise when they finished second in 1970, and Houk is quick to admit that the New Yorkers were a mite disappointed their Inability to swing a couple of winter they had In mind while a couple of other teams in the A.L. East Improved themselves. Catching the Orioles is a tall order, hut it's hard to dispute Houk's arithmetic that 93 plus 7 equals 100.

But whether the Yankees can work out that equation, and whether it will be good enough to- win. remains to be seen. Air condition your house now.
