ng to DELAWARE COUNTY (PA.) DAILY TIMES 1 Monday. February 1, 1871 attack By JOHN PLAISANT Daily Times Sports Writer -PHILADELPHIA Hockey'News, in projecting an all-star team of the future recently, predicted that Bernie Parent would be' 1 'he National best goalie in If that prediction comes true, Parent will gain that status as a Toronto Maple Leaf. The 25-year-old Philadelphia Flyers' goaltender, i almost an untouchable in the NHL, was traded to Toronto Sunday in a sudden and dramatic three-team swap. The' Flyers sent Parent and their 197). second round amateur draft choice to 'Toronto for center i Walton, veteran goaltender Bruce Gamble, and the Leafs' first round draft pick.

Philadelphia then dealt Walton to the Boston Bruins for 20-year- old left winger Rick MacLeish, and another left wing, Danny Schock, 22, who. had been obtained 10 days previously. The trade was announced at a hastily arranged press conference Sunday. night following the Flyers' 3-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. Parent, who was the second goalie drafted in original 1987 NHL expansion draft, did not play Sunday' night.

He dressed and left'quickly 'after the game and was not available for comrnent. Bernie had played in 30 games year. He had registered two shutouts and had a 2.76 goals against average. Named to the all-star team twice, he was voted the Flyers' most valuable player three years in a row. Described as a "classic stand-up goaltender," Parent set a Flyers record last year by appearing in 62 games.

He had a spectacular 1.35 goals against average in the 1968 Stanley Cup Despite the great goaltending, the Flyers have been searching desperately for more scoring punch. "This trade took a lot of soul- searching by our organization," said general manager Keith Allen, who announced the deal: knew we might have to a deal involving one of our goaltenders. "But in MacLeish, we feel we have one of the finest prospects to hit the NHL this year. Also, we'll have two first round draft choices next year, and that was a big MacLeish, a 5-10, 180-pounder, was the fourth amateur draft pick year behind Buffalo's Gilles Perreault, Vancouver's Dale Tallen, and Boston's Reggie.Leach. He was the first left winger taken in the draft.

MacLeish is currently playing with the Oklahoma City Blazers in the Central Hockey League, where he has. scored 15 goals. He recently scored two hat tricks. He led Peterborough (Ontario Hockey Assn.) in scoring his last three years there. Last season, he scored 45 goals and 56 assists in 54 games.

The year before, he netted 50 goals and 42 assists in the same number of games. "He has the potential to be a great hockey player," said Allen. "However, in Boston, he just couldn't crack the lineup." The Flyers scouting staff, which had assembled for two days of meetings over the weekend, estimated that the addition of MacLeish could mean close to 15 extra goals for the rest of the season. Gamble a 32-year-old veteran, has been in professional hockey since 1957 and first came into the league in the 1960-61 season with Boston. He was also in the New York organization before going to Toronto.

Gamble played in 23 games with the Maple Leafs this year and had an unspectacular .3.87 goals against averge. The Flyers have beaten him repeatedly over the last three years. It is a possibility that Gamble will be used merely as a backup to Doug Favell this year, and will probably be left unprotected in the draft this June so that the Flyers can protect Quebec's Michel Belhuneur. "Doug Favell is capable of playing at least 75 per cent of. the said Allen.

'However, I'm not short-selling Bruce Gamble. He's been in the NHL for a number of years." One of the surprising aspects of the trade was that the Flyers lad obtained Walton, an established scoring star, bttt then traded him away. 'Right now, our need of centers is not as great as our need of explained Allen. When asked how long the' Flyers had Walton, Pelletier, the Flyers' Director 1 of Player Personnel, "Fifty-five seconds." Walton, who has been in the'. Toronto dog house, signed late; this year and had appeared only 23 games, scoring three goals and 10 assists.

Archer takes San Diego Open SAN DIEGO; Calif. (UPI) George Archer is a tournament champion again, and he makes no bones about how it feels.

"It feels good. What more can I say than that," said the man who Sunday won the $150,000 Andy Williams-San Diego Open golf tournament with a tourney record score of 16 under par 272. "For a time there last year, I was beginning to have my doubts," said the lanky, horseless cowboy from Gilroy, Calif. Archer's last victory before San Diego was in the 1969 Masters. He suffered with elbow miseries last year but plaved on anyway, one week taking cortisone, another some other pain killer, and so on.

Jus to make sure, he sank a birdi putt of four feet on 14 and another of 18 feet on 17 to closi it out. Young Dave Echelberge picked up the biggest check pro career--one for $17,10 compared to Archer's finishing second, thre strokes farther back at 275, 1 under. Jack Nicklaus closed with six-under 66 to finish in a ti for third place, with Phoeni Open champ Miller Barbel Paul Harney and Bob Stone Echelberger shot a 68 in th 'inal round, Harney had 69 an Barber and Stone had 70s.

Bobby Lunn, the Los Angele Open winner, was at 282; 197 Player of the Year Billy Caspe Florentine Molina of Argentina was another strike off the pace at 287 and Dick Stranahan gave the U.S. its second high finisher with a fourth-place 288. Stranahan's final-round 76 ruined his chances for victory, and better still, a winner. Stockton was at 284 an defending champ Pete Brow was at 286.

From here, the tour move on to Honolulu for the Open, and leading the way be Archer, once again health league South to which Carolina many of them have bumper stickers on their cars which say 'McGuire for Governor." Lately there has been trouble in paradise, jlome are even calling it a crisis, although Frank McGuire isn't. The Gamecocks, who had a 25-3 record last season and were being touted by possible national many as champions this season, have 'dropped three out of their last five even counting Saturday night's 92-7C win over. Virginia. Their record is now 11-3. Instead of being ranked 1-2 they're down in ninth place.

Anyway Frank McGuire feels certain people in the ACC are not his greatest boosters. He there's a "conspiracy" to "sabotage 1 his team and some of this could date way back to McGuire's coaching days at North Carolina when he first began his famed "underground railway" that transported New York City youngsters South. Phone calls, letters and wires pro and con McGuire have been pouring into the offices of the two newspapers in Columbia -the State and the Columbia Record--but McGuire doesn't look at this as any particular crisis. "I don't see it as a crisis," McGuire says, "because if we were to lose all the rest of our games people in South Carolina would still feel basketball has given the state the most publicity ever." does this controversy particularly distress McGuire, he says. "The fact I know that per cent of the people in South Carolina are with me is the main reason all this doesn't bother me," McGuire says.

"This is the best group of boys I've ever coached. They are gentlemen and scholars. I mear that sincerely. My prime concern now is our next game with Duke Monday night. away from home.

We've AVO heart-breakers away from lome to Maryland and Virginia. Both times while the ball was in the air. But I think we'll dp well from here on in. I've got confidence in my boys." There is a. good chance the- ACC at its next meeting in May will vote to drop South Carolina from the conference because of the manner in which the Gamecocks recruit players.

"It's immaterial to me whether we stay in the conference or not," says McGuire, three times national coach-of-the-year. 76ers were; out an running. -25, at the end of the quarter.
