Gordie Howe led Detroit's attack with two goals and two assists, giving the veteran star total of 103 points for the season. This makes him the third man in NHL history to go over the century mark, previously reached bv Boston's Phil Esposito and Bobby Hull this season.

The Hawks slammed through six goals in the, second period which also saw Detroit score three times as the two teams totaled 26 points for the frame to match an NHL record. Frank Mahovlich of Detroit 'scored his 49th goal early in the third period and barely missed becoming the fourth man in NHL history to reach the 50 goal plateau. their spirits buoyed until the waning minutes of the final frame. East Orange, again showing composure with a balanced scoring attack, held a 48-43 lead concluding the third stanza. Taylor was the whole show for Perth.

He had his best period of the night in the third with five goals and two free throws for 12 points and who knows where Perth Amboy might have been without him. It was the same story in the last period, but East Orange began to hold a player back near midcourt and when James or Jefferson cleared the Perth Amboy boards the pass down led to an easy two tallies. There were three state champions from Middlesex County last year and now there are none. What a difference a year makes. The lineups: The East Orange team had its share heroes beside the starting five.

And there was only one other of significance, hefty Darryl White. Weighing 200 pounds and standing 6'2" he was inserted by Milner in the first period after Dennis Motley picked up his fourth foul with 2:54 remaining. At this point it seemed foul trouble on the part of East Orange might eventually spell the difference. And again the wishful thinkers were wrong. James scored eight points in the opening period to pace a 15-11 advantage and no one was able to take up the slack for Amboy.

Then it was White's turn. He didn't play after the second period, but provided enough lift to gain a 27-18 East Orange lead. He tossed in a rebound in the first period and clicked with three baskets in the second session and the winning Panthers were up, 31-28 at the end of the half. The comments floating around the hall then were all in favor of Perth Amboy. "As lousy as they are playing they're only three points behind" was the gist of them.

And they weren't. The Panthers of East Orange, not awed by Brian Taylor's previous performances, handed the Panthers of Perth Amboy a sound thumping, 74-56, Saturday night and grabbed the Group IV state championship away from Perth Amboy. A jam-p a Convention Hall, the record paid attendance was 13,796, was the scene of complete backboard domination by the overpowering East Orange quintet which led to the eventual conquest in the 51st annual NJSIAA State Basketball Tournament.

The winning Panthers had a rebounding edge of 65-41 and 258 on the offensive boards. Greg James and Floyd Jefferson were the ringleaders, cor-raling 16 and 15 caroms, respectively. And there lies the game story. James Paces East Orange James was especially tough, throwing his 6'4" and 195 pounds around and throwing in uncanny one-handers from the corners. He finished with 25 points, hitting 12-of-23 shots.

Coach Milner, in capturing his first state title since 1948 when he won with Cliffside Park, was especially pleased with James. "He cherry-picks on his rebounds, getting the ball and swooping it in." We've been knocking on the door and finally got in," he continued. "We won with what got us here and that's what we played with. There were no change: for Taylor. He's a good shot, but you can't win with one player." Perth skipper Bill Buglovsky echoed his sentiments.

"We needed help from someone else (than Taylor) and didn't get it. We just had a bag game," he shrugged with an unbelieving look on his face. "They were just too quick under the boards," assistant coach Ray Newman chimed in. Taylor was not up to his shooting best and the rest of the team was unable to fill the scoring gap. He fired in 30 points, sinking 13 shots out of 37 tries.

The team was 23-for-68. Therein lies another story. Showing the disparity in shots, East Orange fired up a fantastic 87 attempts, getting two or three attempts under their own boards at one time. The victory was the 24th against two setbacks and Milner was quick to point out that "this is the most victories the school has ever had in any sport." The Panthers ended at 26-2, depriving Taylor of the 100th win during his four-year career. He finished with 1,071 points for the season and 2,495 for his career.

Taylor, still the only unanimous selection on the All-Tourney first team, didn't have the range at the opening bell and came out slowly. He had eight first period shots, but sank only one. Perth Amboy led only twice in the game, 54 and 9-7, as the crowd awaited the sudden spurt by Taylor and the Panthers, but it never came. There were semblances of a surge and the fans came alive only to sink back in their seats again. Build 12-Point Lead The Panthers of Perth were still in the ball game when Bruce Carey made a three-point play with 3:11 remaining.

That made it 56-52 and the fans were stirring. An Amboy turnover cost possession and James took the ball all the way in for two points and East Orange didn't stop until it had a 64 52 edge at 1:59. Dennis Motley followed Warren Melvin's missed layup and Gary Turnover grabbed a rebound of his own missed shot for the 12-point bulge. And there it was. Before the largest crowd ever to witness a basketball game in the state, the Panthers were headed for defeat.

The thoroughly demoralized Panthers then folded and East Orange outscored them, 10-4 in the final moments. After the 56-52 margin, East Orange held the upper hand, 18-4. Even in defeat, Perth Amboy didn't go down without trying. Skipper Buglovsky frantically looking to help Taylor, sent in sub after sub in an effort to find a scoring combo. Unfortunately it never came.

Fouls hurt Taylor in the fourth period. With 15 seconds left in the third period he picked up his fourth foul and was substituted for. He returned at the start of the final frame, but was unable to play with his usual tenacity. And it hurt. No one else could do the job.

Bruce Carey had two baskets in the last period and Howie Dil-lard had one each in the third and fourth periods. That was it. There were only 10 other baskets scored in the whole game by the rest of the Panthers. Meanwhile the East Orange combo was getting a workmanlike job from the entire team. It all boils down to one thing.

How much can one player do? Not enough as far as Taylor is concerned. Playing with the tears increasing as the game drew to a finish, Taylor broke down on the Amboy bench after being taken out. WHERE'S THE BALL? All the players appear to be looking in different directions in this action in Perth Amboy-East Orange game. Perth Amboy players are Brian Taylor, extreme left, and Bruce Carey (45) on the floor. East Orange players are Greg James (13) and Floyd Jefferson (15).

Russia Wins World Amateur Hockey Title SWITCH TO THE "ONE ONLY" EARN THE mi ommmI' FUEL ml COAL STOCKHOLM (AP) Russia won the world amateur hockey title for the seventh straight year Sunday night, and the United States tumbled out of the A group in world championship competition. Russia wrapped up the crown again by defeating Canada 4-2 in the final game. That left three teams tied for the top spot with 8-2 records, but the Soviet team had the best over-all goal spread, 59 to 23.

Sweden was 45-19 for second and Czechoslovakia 40-20 for third. The United States lost to Finland 7-3 and wound up with 10 losses in 10 games.

Canada made it tough for Russia for two periods, holding the champions to a one-goal margin, 2-1.

But then the Soviets scored twice within 75 seconds in the third period. Alexander Maltsev fired the puck into the Canadian net at 6:44 of the third period, and Boris Mikhailov added his second goal of the game at 7:59.

In the second period they were hit with five penalties, and in the final period, they received two more minors plus a 10-minute misconduct penalty for Bob Paradise of Rochester, for arguing.

Four of Finland's goals came when the Americans were a man short. Another came on a delayed penalty when the Finns pulled their goalie and sent in an extra attacker.

All three Japanese ring officials scored the fight 75-66 for Ebihara, the second-ranked flyweight contender. The Associated Press had it 75-67. Ebihara thus regained the 112-pound title he lost to Pone Kingpetch of Thailand in 1964 after holding it for only four months. The crown became vacant when Horacio Accavallo of Argentina retired last December.

Ebihara, who weighed lllli, kept the 27-year-old Severino, at a distance in the early rounds, using his longer reach to advantage. The Japanese did the most damage in the ninth round when he opened a bad cut over Severino's left eye. Ebihara suffered a cut over his left eye in the sixth round. The crowd of about 7,000 at the Nakajirna Sports Center saw Ebihara win his 61st fight against four losses and a draw. Severino's loss was his third in 27 fights.

ALL-TOURNEY TEAM Taylor Unanimous Pick; Melcliionni, James Named ATLANTIC CITY Even in defeat, the magic in the name Taylor still lingers on. In a poll of sports writers covering the 51st annual NJSIAA State Basketball Tournament, Brian Taylor, Perth Amboy High School's great all around athlete, was the only unanimous first team pick. Selected for the second straight year, Taylor polled a perfect 46 votes. Next in line and just missing by two of being unanimous was Bishop Eustace's Gary Melchionni. Trailing him, but still getting first team berths, were Gary Woodruff of Roselle, Greg James of East Orange and Millville's Alan Shaw, even though the Thunderbolts didn't make it to the finals after bowing to Perth Amboy, 70-64.

On the second team were a pair of South Side stalwarts, Mike Smith and Ray Clark. With them were Andy Rimol, Mountain Lakes' 6'10" center, Craig Ross of St. Mary's, Jersey City and Dom Carrera, Gloucester Catholic's fine guard. Also receiving votes were Chet Davis and Larry Foster of South Side; Jeff Banasz and Jim Crawford of Bishop Eustace; Dave Bishop and Bob Wilson of Mountain Lakes; EdCierski of St. Mary's; Jose DeCausey of Lake-wood; Mike Boylan of St.
