SAWCUK'S GOAL TENDING IS A BIG FACTOR Toronto grabs Stanley Cup TORONTO (AP) Terry Sawchuk, veteran 37-year-old goalie who was benched, vindicated himself and brought the Stanley Cup back to the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was Sawchuk's inspired goal tending that was the key to Toronto's 3-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens Tuesday night that gave the Leafs the coveted Cup, symbolic of world hockey supremacy.

Toronto won the best-of-7 final National Hockey League playoff series, four games to two, and ended Montreal's two-year reign as Cup champions. The Leafs had won the Cup three straight years before Montreal took it in 1965. Sawchuk was benched after Montreal won the first game of the series. He was replaced by another veteran goalie, 42-year- old Johnny Bower, who starred as the Leafs won the next two games. Sawchuk got a second chance when Bower injured his thigh muscle in the pre-game warmup before the fourth game, Montreal beat him again to even the series.

When Bower still was unable to start the fifth game, Sawchuk was given another chance and he rose to the occasion as the Leafs won 4-1 on Montreal ice. He was superb against the Canadiens Tuesday night and the crowd of 15,977 gave him a standing ovation when the game ended. "He came up with the key saves," said Jean Beliveau, the Montreal captain. "There were three or four shots early in the game you could usually coun on as goals." Toe Blake, the Montrea coadi, added: "The Toronto goaltending in the last two games was exceptional." Sawchuk made 40 saves. He stopped what seemed sure Montreal goals.

He robbed Beliveau twice on close-in shots and stopped John Ferguson three times. He made another sensational shot on Bobby Rousseau's slapshot in the second period. The only goal Sawchuk yielded was to Dick Duff at 5: 8 of I the third period when Toronto I held a 2-0 lead on second period K.C. SPLITS A PAIR OF 1-0 GAMES Twins bomb Yankees, 13-4 By DICK COUCH Associated Press Sports Writer Charlie Finley's snow-colored playshoes inspired the Washington Senators but Cal Griffith's frost-covered playground left the New York Yankees cold. The Senators, aroused by the white kangaroo footwear introduced by owner Finley at Kansas City this spring, donned white caps and socks before SPORT SHORTS MEXICO CITY (AP) Construction has started on the public housing development that will be the home for about 12,000 athletes during the 1968 Olympic Games here.

Nebraska. B8310. splitting 1-0 shutouts with the Athletics in a doubleheader Tuesday night. The Yankees, meanwhile, shivered through a 13-4 setback in Minnesota's sub-freezing weather after Twins' President Griffith decided against a postponement. California edged Boston 3-2 behind Jim McGlothlin's three- hitter in the only other American League action.

The Detroit- Chicago and Baltimore-Cleveland games were washed out. George Selkirk, Washington's general manager, came up with the idea of going white-on-white against the Athletics, who survived an opening-day protest by Cleveland Manager Joe Adcock that their white shoes distracted opposing batters. The Senators took batting practice in their regular dark caps and red and blue stockings, then slipped into the clubhouse and emerged in their new regalia. Southpaw Pete Richert, working 7 1-3 innings, and two relievers then whitewashed the A's on two hits in the twilight opener, decided by Ken McMullen's run- scoring single in the sixth. But Kansas City rebounded behind right-hander Jim (Catfish) Hunter, who scattered seven hits, and an RBI single by Dick Green in the sixth to snap the Senators' winning string at four games.

In Minnesota, a combinat on of 13 Minnesota hits, four New York errors and temperatures that ranged from 32 degrees at the start to 29 at the finish took its toll on the Yankees. "This is ridiculous," snorted relief pitcher Steve Hamilton, the Yankees' player representative. "We're got to have a rule you don't play this kind of weather. Somebody has got to take responsibility for this." Manager Ralph Houk, however, was philosophical about the decision to play the game. "We both had to play in it," Houk said.

"It was as fair for one team as the other. If they say we play." It was the coldest weather in which a game has gone on in Minnesota since the Twins entered the league in 1961. Monday night's scheduled game between the clubs had been postponed because of 40-degree temperature, strong winds and sporadic rain. The Twins rocked Yankee starter Fritz Peterson for six runs in the first inning, enabling Dean Chance to breeze to an easy victory. Chance pitched six innings before his arm tightened up and Al Worthington finished up.

Harmon Krllebrew and rookie Ron Clark drove in three runs apiece for the winners' while Tom homered for New York. McGlothlin, a 24-year-old right-hander, retired the Red Sox in order until the seventh, when he walked Mike Andrews with, one out. Carl Yastrzemski followed with a double and Andrews scored on a sacrifice fly, trimming California's lead to 31. George Scott homered for the Red Sox in the eighth and Tony Conigliaro singled with two out in the ninth.

Gump Worsley, who made 33 saves in the Montreal net, was pulled out in the last minute of play and George Armstrong scored Toronto's last goal into an empty net with only 47 seconds left. Pappin's goal, which turned out to be the winning one, first was credited to Pete Stemkowski.

An official correction was made just before the end of the game. The victory climaxed a Toronto comeback that started after the Leafs had lost 10 straight games midway of their regular NHL season and appeared out of the playoffs. They rallied to finish third behind Chicago and Montreal and then beat Chicago in the semifinal playoffs, four games to two. Sawchuk's goal tending was credited with a major role in Toronto's success against Chicago, too. "They have to be the best hockey players I've ever had," said Toronto Coach Punch Imlach.

"I have to thank everyone." names coach NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Chuck Fairbanks is the soft-spoken, polished boy-next-door, who says with a reassuring smile "everything's gonna be all right." And you believe him. The 33-year-old former Michigan State player was named head football coach at Oklahoma Tuesday, filling the vacancy left by the death of Jim Mackenzie, 37, Friday. Solemn and determined, the youthful coach says he endorses most of Mackenzie's philosophies of football, but still makes it known he intends to be his own master. "I cannot be Jim Mackenzie," he said.

"I've got to be myself. Because I believe so strongly in the things in which Jim believed, I may sometimes sound like him, but I'm not going to try to emulate him." Fairbanks was appointed by University President Dr. George L. Cross, but contract terms won't be settled until after a regents meeting May 11. Fairbanks served as chief assistant at Arizona State and Houston before coming to Oklahoma with Mackenzie last year.

It's been almost one full year since Regan lost a game.

Lou Cavalaris took Cool Reception out of the Derby line-up after the colt finished second to Barbs Delight by a half-length in the Derby Trial. "He came out of the race all right, but I don't want any part of it (the Derby). I am passing," Cavalaris said after the trial. Don Devine, trainer for L'ght- ning Orphan, said a defeat by more than five lengths in the trial didn't change his Derby plans at all least for the present.

Jucker hired at head Royals CINCINNATI (AP) Ed Jucker was hired as coach of the Cincinnati Royals Tuesday and a few hours later caught a plane to New York for his first chore the National Basketball Association draft meeting. Jucker, who guided the University of Cincinnati Bearcats to NCAA chamoionshin in and 1962, succeeds Jack McMahon. McMahon quit the Royals to take over the new NBA team at San Diego.

During Tucker's five years at Cincinnati, the Bearcats became famous for winning games through a combination tight defense and deliberate offense. When Jucker left in 1965 for health and personal reasons his teams had compiled a 113-28 record. Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but Jucker reportedly got $22,000 a year and a free hand with his players. The 49-year-old coach served as director of intramural sports at appropriately enough, a Friday night. That came at Forbes Field and since then, The Vul- tu has been flying high.

He won 13 straight last season and Tuesday's victory extended his unbeaten appearance string to 66 games 58 last season and seven this year. The Pirates had another shot Tuesday and actually tied the game against him when he relieved starter Claude Osteen with one out in the eighth. Roberto Clemente singled, delivering Wills, now a Pirate, with the tying run. But Regan pitched out of the jam and held Pittsburgh at bay until the llth when the Dodders rallied. John Roseboro opened with a single and when the Pirates failed to field Jim Hickman's bunt, the Dodgers had runners at first and second.

A sacrifice moved the runners up and then Wes Parker, batting for'Regan, doubled the two runs home. Elsewhere in the National League Tuesday night, the New York Mets rallied far two runs in the bottom of the 12th inning and nipped San Francisco 3-2, Bob Gibson shut out Cincinnati miss after six swipes this son. Al Ferrara homered for the Dodgers. Ed Kraneponl. who bad hom- ered earlier, tripled home the lying nm for the Mets in the 12th inning and then pinch hitter John Sullivan's single delivered the winner against San Francisco.

The Giants, who turned in the season's first triple play in the second inning, had taken the lead in the top of the 12th on Mays' two-out single following a leadoff double by Hal Lanier. Gibson struck out 12 Reds and ran his record to 4-1 as the Cardinals ended a four-game losing streak. It was the second time this season that the ace right- hander has fanned 10 or more batters. Mike Shannon drove In three runs with a bases-loaded double in the fifth inning after Jim Maloney had walked three straight batters. Maloney, 1-1, also three wild pitches, one of which allowed a nm to score.

Rico Carty smashed a run homer, one of only three on two hits as St. Louis defeated by the Braves, as Atlanta the Reds 5-0, Houston battered Philadelphia 10-3 and Atlanta stopped Chicago 3-1. Willis, making his first appearance against his ex-teammates, smacked two hits, scored two runs and stole a base. But even he was unnerved by The Vulture. He singled with one out in the 10th but then was thrown out first topped Chicago 3-1.

Cartv's shot in the second inning followed walks to Mack Jones and Joe Torre by Ferguson Jenkins, 3-1. Rusty Staub drove in four runs with three hits and Houston rallied for eight runs in the eighth inning and a 10-3 victory over Philadelphia.

resigning as EX-MARINE WANTS CRACK AT CASSIUS KANSAS CITY (AP) "He'll do it. .1 mean he will fight Clay if they let him. He'll get his block knocked off, but he'll do it." That's the way Mrs. James 'obb summed up her reaction Tuesday to a story from Hong Kong that her husband said he was going to apply to the World Boxing Association to fight Cassius Clay. Cobb, 42, an oiler and mechanic on a merchant marine vessel in port at Hong Kong, was quoted as saying he wanted to show up Clay "for what he is man who won't fight for his country and uses religion as an excuse." Mrs.

Cobb said Tuesday that her husband has always been patriotic, sometimes a bit extreme, but always patriotic. Shaking her head in disbelief, Mrs. Cobb said, "He means it- it's not too bright, but he means it. "My husband is a strong- willed sort. I mean, he believes his country first and can't stand to see anybody do anything against it.

"You know these draft card burners? Well, he gets so angry about them and says the best hing that anyone could do is arrest them and sentence them a term in the Marine Corps. "Jim was a Marine and he believes pretty strongly in the corps." In his interview with a reporter in Hong Kong, Cobb said he lad seen active service as a naval officer in World War II and the Korean War.

Gabriel, a five-year veteran of the Rams of the National Football League, and attorney Edward L. Masry filed the damage suit Tuesday in Superior Court.

"Gabriel will play for the Rams and will play to the best of his ability, as he has in the past," Masry said. "That's what he'll tell you if you talk to him. He'll have no other comment than that."

Ex-Husker is Lincoln mayor LINCOLN (AP)-Sam Schwartzkopf, a former University of Nebraska football tackle, is jncoln's new mayor.

Schwartzkopf, whose brother Eddie, a former Husker football is a University of Ne- iraska regent, defeated Robert G. Venner and incumbent Mayor Dean Petersen in Tuesday's election in handy fashion. The new mayor and Venner were the primary election nom- nees, with Petersen trying to icld his post on a write-In vote. The complete unofficial totals gave Schwartzkopf 14,103 votes, Venner 10,799 and Petersen 7,255. The voters apparently re- urned to office the two city incumbents seeking re- eleciton.

They were Mrs. Helen Boos a Us and Ervin Petersen. Also named to the council were Tom Allman and The Rams and Oakland had no comment on the suit, and the National Football League office said only that Gabriel has a valid contract with the Rams. Pete Rozelle, pro football commissioner, said from New York: "Gabriel is under contract to the Rams for 1967." The suit charges that the Rams interfered with a contract Gabriel signed with Oakland of the American Football League, that the Raiders breached the contract, and that all defendants violated state antitrust laws by restraining free trade. Gabriel signed a $400,000, four-year contract last year with the Raiders, the suit said.

Then, the North Carolina State graduate signed a contract with the Rams calling for $36,000 a year, plus $20,000 a year for five years after his retirement from football. After the NFL and AFL merged, the suit said, the Raiders refused to honor Gabriel's contract. The $200,000 demanded represents the difference between Gabriel's contracts with Oakland and Los Angeles, Masry said. HOW MUCH YOU MAY SAVE ON YOUR CAR INSURANCE WITH STATE FARM! W. B.
