42 oys never let up Coach Meagher The GAZETTE, Montreal, lot, Mar. 14, PLAYING the FIELD by DINK CARROLL By BOB MORRISSEY Pat Lawton, a converted riht winger, scored in sudden-dcalh overtime last nitflit when Loyola defeated Lower Canada College 3-2 to win tjiu h'gh school senior hockey city championship and give coach Ed Meagher his most satisfying victory ever. Lawton, ordinarily a defenceman but moved to forward at the start of the season because Loyola was weak at that Observation by Kmile Francis when AnM'L "if ten) I position, scored irom a mini scramble in front, of LCC goa'ie Larry Perlmnn. Earlier in the pudden-death, Loyola had almost seen its title hopes tumble when LCC nearly scored just after the opening face-off. The next best chance went to Loyola defenceman Peter Fogl, but he stopped cold.

Loyola appeared Ip have the victory clinched after Bryan Bossy's goal late in the second half. But with 43 seconds left, Ken Hague tied it up while Bryan's brother, Dave, was off for ho'ding and Perl-man was out for an extra attacker. Coach Meagher termed the victory his most satisfying ever because it was accomplished by a team that won not only because of its talent, but because of its willingness to work. "We figured there wouldn't be any pressure on us this season because we weren't expecting too much," said Meagher. "But the boys never let up.

They just kept working and that made them a good teSm." And they beat a good team. In fact, LCC edged Loyola out by one point for the Western Division title, and both, their games against each other during the schedule ended in ties. Last night's game was ical oi their previous meetings. Both teams enjoyed several fine scoring opportunities and the play was fast and even. LCC had much the better of the first half, but Loyola dominated the second.

All LCC could show for its first-half domination was one goal that by Jay Hanson and several near misses the most notable one by John Smith who hit the goal post. Bryan Bossy tied the game in the second half when he" raced in after picking up a loose puck inside LCC's blue-line. Shortly after, LCC almost scored from a scramble in front of the net and seconds later Bossy put Loyola ahead. LCC coach Tom Wright, although naturally disappointed by the outcome, said it, "was the best hockey game I've ever seen. It's a tough one to lose but a great one to win."

(Gazette, Len Sidaway) John XXIII new junior champs All season long John XXIII has relied on hustle and that was the case again yeselrday at Loyola when they defeated Dorval 4-1 to win the high school junior hockey city championship. Each team scored once during the first half, but then John XXIII, working harder with every second, stormed back with three goals within five minutes late in the second half. Peter Perreault scored what proved to be the winner just seconds after John XXIII Loyola beats Verdun in school hockey final on Wednesday: "This has become one helluva race.

It's a dogfight. The Ulcer League. Nobody's out." Sparky Anderson, the former Royal who was 36 on Washington's birthday, is the youngest manager in the majors this spring. As the skipper of the Cincinnati Reds, he named Pete (Charlie Hustle) Rose the team's captain. "The man gives me a pot of money," said Rose, "I got to give him something in return, I'm sure I'll knock in 100 runs.

Last year I had 82. Bobby Tolan will get on as leadolf num. Tummy Ile.irn wiil push h.m around. I got to bat In those runs." Terry Evanshen sounded very happy to be back with the Alouettes. "They've had good players here in the past, but they wasted them," he said.

"There are real professionals in the front office now and they know what they're doing. I'm looking forward to playing with Sonny Wade. I've been watching him in game films and he reminds me of Peter Liske. He stays in the pocket and he doesn't get flustered by the pass ush." Did' Duff, now with the Los Angeles Kings, told LA sports writers that Stanley Cup winners are badly bitten by taxes. "We (Canadiens) won everything last year; which meant a gross of $16,000 in playoff bonuses for every man," he said.

"My end, after taxes, was a lousy $6,800." The busy Joe Frozier Irv Ungerman, George Chuvalo's manager, has fixed $50,000 as the minimum purse for his man in any major fight. Regis Levesque offered Chuvalo $35,000 to fight Joe Frazier here in June in the Forum or in Jarry Park, but Frazier doesn't seem much interested in defending his title right now. His musical talent must have skyrocketed since the Jimmy Ellis fight. He had to turn down a Bob Hope dale and an appearance in England with Tom Jones. He'll be on NBC's Kraft Music Hall on March 25 and on a March 29 show at Anaheim with Johnny Carson Herbert A.

(Hap) Holland, long a hard worker for minor sport in Montreal, has been honored by Sport magazine. Along with Russ Kemmerer, a former major league pitcher, and Sonny Hill, play-by-play announcer for the Philadelphia 76crs, he has won "The Sport Service Award." The same magazine asked John Ferguson who, in his opinion, are the roughest players in the NHL. "I'd pick Orland Kurtenbach and Gordie Howe two of the toughest," Fergy answered. "The truth is there aren't as many real battlers in this league now as there were in the old days. Guys like me who are ready to mix it up with anybody are disappearing.

Many of the young players coming into the league just aren't tough. Bobby Orr and a few others are exceptions rather than the rule." The hurting Canadiens The Canadiens, hit hard by injuries all season, may have been knocked out by the broken leg suffered by young Serge Savard in last Wednesday's game against the Rangers. This is one man they can hardly afford to lose at this time. Apart from his various skills as a player and his great competitive spirit, he was fast developing into a leader on the ice Frankie Paice, the Rangers' veteran trainer, will have to undergo knee surgery at the end of the season.

If Hall tells us he'll play one more year, then we'll keep him and Wakely. If he does decide to quit, then we'll hang onto Wakely and Plante. We'll know where we stand after the Stanley Cup playoffs." Incidentally, the 1970 annual meeting of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association is scheduled for St.

A rookie to watch Jeff Burroughs, a husky 19-year-old from lAmg Beach, who was the Washington Senators' No. 1 draft choice and was paid a bonus of $88,000 to sign with them, is a guy to keep your eye on. "He will be one of the big hitters in baseball within five years," predicts Ted Williams, who should know Chick Meehan will be honored at a testimonial dinner in New York on March 25.

Older Montreal football fans will remember that he coached the University of Syracuse team that played an exhibition game against McGill here in 1921. The game was-played under American rules the idea was to promote the forward pass, which wasn't then a part of the Canadian game and Syracuse won by a 14-0 score. The pass was adopted by the Canadian Rugby Union 10 years later Jack Riley, general manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins, gives Coach Red Kelly credit for the team's improvement. "The players have finally fitted into Red's style of game and have been giving an overall, hard-nosed, big effort," he says. "Beating the other new teams in the league has been Red's goal.

Every win over the East is an extra. The team has an exceptionally fine attitude, and our fans have a lot to do with it. We've been drawing better all the time."

VOSS, Norway (AP) -Werner Bleiner of Austria won the giant slalom in the Voss International ski competition yesterday and assured his fellow countryman, Karl Schranz, of a second straight World Cup title in Alpine skiing. The only man with a chance to beat out Schranz was Patrick Russel of France, who checking and they did," he said. "We just wore the other team out." The victory was John XXHI's 10th against one loss and a tie and closed out a rewarding season for both coach Gagnon and his players. "I have a tremendous bunch of boys," he said.

Glenn Mockler's nine points paced the winners. the first half and when Loyola's Neil Haldane opened the scoring in the second, it appeared that was the game. But Verdun, although not quite as fast as Loyola, fought back relentlessly. "We didn't expect Verdun to be so strong," said Loyola coach Paul LeBlanc.

"It was our first game this season against such a good fore-checking team. I thought both teams played well." It was the fifth straight meeting between the two teams for the city championship. Verdun won city honors last year and in 19G6 while Loyola brought the title home in 1967 and 1968. The 'victory was Loyola's 28th against one loss and a tie this season a record which includes 20 exhibition games. HOCKEY JUNIOR O.H.A.

John XXIII coach Gilles Gagnon used three lines compared to Dorval's two and felt that made a big difference. "I told them to keep working and special slalom to get second place in the standings.
