The Rochester Americans, cinches to pick up gold medals the way they're skidding downhill these days, continued their plunge last night, sliding to an 8-6 loss against Hershey. The Amerks are going to cost the rest of the American Hockey League teams plenty of money at contract time in the fall if they continue to swell their opponents' offensive statistics. Hershey's eight goals last night gave the slipping Amerks an absurd goals-allowed record of 36 for the past five games, an avfrage of more than seven. Last night's ridiculous home ice defensive display came on the heels of 10-3, 5-1 and 7-1 last alternate and scored a 70 yesterday and a 274 total. and Hamilton were as successful against other clubs, they'd be among the circuit's In a great final day rally, top scorers instead of having High School BASKETBALL Notre Dome of Utlca 71, Aqulnos 47.
