But when leader Al Unser ran into engine problems 30 miles from the end, Savage moved into second behind McCluskey and was set for his late dash for victory. Unser Closes In, McCluskey; inherited a lead of five seconds over Savage, Unser and Jim McElreath when Unser, the 1970 driving champion, had to pit for fuel. Savage gradually closed the gap and had narrowed Mc-Cluskey's" advantage to 'less than a car length as the three front I runners took the white flag, signifying one lap remaining.

The -stockily-built Savage, completing- only his first season, of jchampion-ship cortipetitionv got inside McCluskey coming off the second turn and grabbed the lead and victory going down the short back stretch. 1 Unser, who had set the pace most of the race, also roared by the fading McCluskey and finished d.

By Dan Hafner Timet Staff Writer Hal Laycoe never made a complaint when he was' dismissed as coash of jtne Kings last year wherr'the team won only- 5 of its first 24 games, but he was bitterly disappointed. He felt that he was not givgry a fair chance to -prove what he could do with theclub. It was for this reasen that Laycoe was a little on edge before he brought his new club, the expansionist Vancouver.

Canucks to the Forum for the first time Saturdaynight. After it was over and the Canucks-' had made it a sweep, of back -to -back games by scoring a 3-1 vie- tory, Laycoe was a smiling, but not ungracious winner. Regan Worried "Yes, I think. I wanted this game a little more than any other we've' played," he "They tell me my club is playing pretty well. All I know is that I enjoyed this one and the one last night, too." Laycoe refused to discuss the Kings, who are in a horrible slump, saying, "The Kings are no longer any of my concern." They are the concern of neral manager coach Larry Regan, who appeared more than a little worried after the Kings, doing everything well but putting the puck in the net, stretched their win-less string to five consecutive games.

Since Detroit scored a tying goal while short-handed and with only five seconds remaining, last Sunday, the Kings have been in a state of shock. LAYAWAY NOW FOR DAD ELS' 721Q ROSECRNS AVE.
