Bona-, venture's 6-11 Bob Lanier dominated both ends of tha court and "a hose-to-nose de- fense stymied Duquesne throughout to keep the Bonnies undefeated last night, 77-58. It was supposed to be a battle of the two best teams in the East, but St. Bonaventure had a far superior night, fully indicated by the score. Lanier, headed for another All-America season, had 21 points, 21 rebounds and blocked eight shots.

Spurred by a local record crowd of 6291, and a frenzied student, body that stayed on campus for the game rather than go home early for the holidays, the Bonnies made few mistakes and kept steadily pulling away. Mickey Davis, Duquesne's high scorer, led his team with 17 points, while veteran guard Bill Kalbaugh had 17 for St. Bonaventure. St. Bonaventure's fast break was working well and Lanier was using his height to good advantage as the Bonnies got into the lead early and built it as high as 15 points late in the first half.

Duquesne used a zone defense for most of the first half but it was not as effective as the Bonnies' zone, which was aggressive enough to keep the Dukes from getting their usual good-percentage shots. Lanier had a lot of help from Matt Gantt, a high-jumping 6-5 sophomore who almost matched Lanier in shot-blocking (as well as goaltending). The Dukes made a brief flurry just before intermission when Mickey Davis started hitting after a cold start, and a flurry of eight points by Davis, Barry Nelson, Jarrett Durham and Bill Zopf chopped the lead to seven points at 29-22. However, the Bonnies got their margin back up to 36-26 at halftime. St.

Bonaventure was just as devastating in the second half, ripping off 10 points before Duquesne got a field goal. The Dukes kept turning the ball over while the Bonnies played flawlessly, and with Lanier scoring heavily and blocking shots, St. Bonaventure's lead was soon up to a comfortable 20 points long before the middle, of the. second half.

After the Jets' Jim Turner tied the score at 6-6 with a seven-yard field goal, Dawson connected with Otis Taylor on a 61-yard pass which carried to the New York 19-yard line. On the next play, Richardson outmaneuvered corner-back Cornell Gordon and took Dawson's perfect pass without breaking stride in the end zone. Joe Namath moved the Jets inside the Kansas City 20 with 6:01 left but the Chiefs' defense, sparked by cornerback Emmett Thomas, broke up three successive pass plays and Kansas City took over on the 18. The Chiefs, however, failed to move and the Jets gained control of the ball once more on their own 30 with just over four minutes remaining. Namath connected on successive passes to Bake Turner and George Sauer to move the ball to the Chiefs' 28-yard line.

Namath then threw what appeared to be a touchdown pass to tight end Pete Lammons in the right corner of the end zone but the official ruled that Lammons was out of bounds. Namath came right back and almost connected with Sauer for a touchdown pass but Thomas stuck up his hand at the last moment and broke up the play. Jim Marsalis stopped the final Jet threat with an interception in the end zone and although the Chiefs were forced to punt from the end zone, Mike Battle fumbled the ball and Kansas City re- Bobby Helps On 5 Goals 7858 See Show By Defenseman By BILL HEUFELDER In Bobby Orr's opinion, the highlight of Boston's 6-4 victory over the Penguins last night was a goal by teammate Don Awrey, his first since the 1367-68 season. To everyone in the Civic Arena, except Orr, the highlight was his performance. He registered five assists, giving him a five-point game for the second time in a National Hockey League career that grows more phenomenal with each passing week.

i A crowd of 7858 watched the 21-y a -o 1 defenseman increase his league-leading point total to 46 in 31 games. The Penguins, who lost their fourth straight, will not have anybody resembling Bobby Orr to contain tonight when they play at Philadelphia. If they had remained In character last night, using a close-checking style, the Penguins might have ended the streak at three games, despite Orr's performance, "The checking was brutal," said Penguin Coach Red Kelly. "I thought we might have won the game a couple of times, but we didn't check well enough to do it." For the i their highlight came at 17:22 of the second period when Jean Pronovost put them in front, finishing a comeback that had begun less than 10 minutes before when they trailed, 3-1. The Bruins, finding themselves behind for the second time In the game, began to work harder and their effort wasn't wasted.

John McKenzie scored the tying goal at 19:21 of the period and 26 seconds later, John Bucyk, who leads Boston in goals with 15, knocked home his second of the game. Bucyk powered the puck past goalie Al Smith after Orr's long shot bounded off the boards behind the Penguin net. There was nothing easy about the game for Smith or Bruin goalie Ed n. Smith, trying to stand off the powerful Bruins by himself too much of the time, stopped 40 shots. Johnston was credited with 22.

The Penguins held a 1-0 edge after Glen Sather delivered a goal against his former teammates 'midway through the first period.

The Pitt basketball team woke up to zero degree temperatures yesterday morning and the frigid weather carried right into the Panthers' play in the afternoon. Committing 20 turnovers and i i a snowdrift full of layups and easy shots, Pitt dropped its third game in four starts, an 85-71 decision to Wisconsin before 5,703 fans. The win evened Wisconsin's record at 3-3.

Pitt's biggest player, 6-8 sophomore Paul 'G topped the Panthers with just seven rebounds while Lee Oler led Wisconsin with 13. While the big men led Wisconsin on the boards, it was a 6-1 guard who did most of the damage on the scoreboard. Junior Clarence Sherrod led both teams in scoring by pumping in 26 points.

Sophomore Mike Paul led Pitt with 21 points. Coming off a two-week examination break, Pitt got off to a rusty start by failing to score in the first four minutes. Wisconsin led at the half, 44129, and had little trouble the rest of the way. Pitt hit only 38 per cent of its shots from the field (28-72), while the Badgers shot a high .500 (31-62).
