Canadians End Bruins' Streak, 4-2 I SPORTS set in the first minute. Montreal's John Ferguson crashed Tommy Williams into the boards and the blond wing was forced to leave the ice. He later returned to his regular turn. The Bruins scored first on a 25-foot slap shot by Bobby Orr. The Shack-Sanderson-Sather line' had the pressure iod, when he sprawled to beat Tommy Williams, who was in alone.

Instead of going off the ice even at 2-2 in the middle session, the Bruins left trailing 3-1. It was a hard-hitting contest from start to finish. The young Boston team wasn't outhustled or outswapped. It was outscored. The pace of the game was on Vachon for the first time in the game midway through the session.

The Canadiens finally cleared the puck, but Orr intercepted the pass to beat Vachon. Montreal's power play specialist Yvan Cournoyer evened the score with 35 seconds remaining in the period. His pass out from Celtics Whip Bullets, 125-109 By KEVIN WALSH Staff BeHcr MONTREAL The Bruins undefeated streak and a chance to take over first place in the Eastern Division of the National Hockey League went by the board Saturday night A jammed Montreal Forum saw an excellent goal-tending effort by Canadiens' Rogatien Vachon. His play earned him the first star, a 4-2 victory, and first place for the Canadiens. Roggie was a surprise starter as Coach Toe Blake went with the youngster instead of veteran Gump Worsley.

The Bruins had their scoring chances in the game. But they failed to finish off in front of the Montreal net as they had done so successfully against Chicago and Detroit in previous road action. Vachon was the difference as he thwarted several good bids. The biggest of these came late in the second per behind the Boston net deflected off Orr and into the Boston goal. Rookie defenseman Serge Savard scored the first goal of his National Hockey League career to put the Canadiens ahead in the middle period.

Henri Richard's hard drive set up the score. The Pocket Rocket's shot from the right wing went wide of the net. The re-. bound, however, came right on Savard's stick and he beat Gerry Cheevers, who was attempting to recover from the Richard drive. Williams made his bid to pull Boston even while the Bruins had a man advantage late in the period.

Ted Green sent Williams in alone breaking off the left wing. He raced in front of Vachon, but couldn't lift the puck over the sprawled net-minder. BRUINS Page 60 Sam Jonees, who was high man in the game with 31 points, hit for two field goals and assisted on three other scores after picking off Bullet passes. Over the five minutes and nine seconds span, Baltimore was deadly cold from the floor and the rebounds kept taking a Boston bounce. The Celtics outscored the Bullets, 20-7, in the last half of the third period and went into the final 12 minutes with a 96-82 lead.

A crowd of 9164 had hoped for something better after the Bullets had impressively knocked off the New York Knicks in their opener. The press, which had been so effective against the Knicks, was impressive against the Celtics but only in the opening minute of CELTICS Page 60 BALTIMORE The Celtics spurted for 16 straight points with seven minutes to go in the third period and went on to humble the Bullets, 125-109, Saturday night. Baltimore coach Gene Shue inadvertently started the Celtics rush when he drew a technical foul for yelling at referee Bill KunkL "You're horrible." Larry Siegfried made the technical to give the Celtics and 80-75 lead and the patented Boston spurt began.

Step aside, baby, for the Philadelphia Era! Nobody stepped aside. The Whiz Kids finished fifth in their title defense of '51. The moral to the story is: chickens shouldn't count eggs before they're hatched. Every little Louise in town may think the young Red Sox will breeze, but there's more to it than promissory notes and last season's sweat. This ain't, after all, a team that bombed out the A.L.

It now must play a game of "catch up" this Winter catch up with Minnesota and White Sox pitch- Harvard Holds Off Cornell Rally, 1.4-12 'wfl cr, 1 rnm. ROBIN ROBERTS JIM LONBORG By JERRY NASON Executive SporU Editor ITHACA, N.Y. The Harvard football squad could identify with Pauline after its perilous 14 to 12 escape from Cornell in an authentic Ivy League Blaster amid the pot-holes of old Schoell-kopf Field Saturday afternoon. The Johns scored a couple of quickies within 55 seconds of the first quarter and spent most of the second half avoiding getting run over by Jack Musick's fiery ball team.

Only some defensive heroics by the Sticky Wickets in the defensive backfield rescued the harassed Harvard-ians from the best battery seen since Gibson and Mc-Carver in the World Series Bill Robertson to Bill Murphy. The Sticky Wickets intercepted five passes, one for a 25-yard touchdown run by right linebacker John Emery and another by Tom Williamson in the Harvard end zone. Williamson, the deep safety, came out of the game with three interceptions, tying the all-time Harvard mark made by Tommy Wynn, his standin, against Boston U. a fornight earlier. Against a 14 to 0 deficit, Cornell came on hard in the second half, gaining momentum from a pass interference call at the Harvard 34 to set up a Jim Heeps score on the running end of a short rollout pass.

Then Cornell scored at 2:17 of the final quarter when Robertson hit Murphy for 20 yards, the receiver beating Williamson and Bill Cobb in the end zone. Cornell's strategy in attempting two-point conversion plays following both TDs, that failed, may have cost them a tie but they played to win.

HARVARD'S BILL COBB TRAILS (UPI) The Johns began fighting early, repelling two opening aerial onslaughts by Robertson the second when defensive back John Tyson barreled into a receiver in the Harvard end zone, forcing a pop fumble which Williamson snared in the air for a touchback.

Suddenly, the game flipped ard fighting with all its defensive skill for survival, Cornell still was a winning possibility. Then Bill Cobb came up with Harvard's fifth interception of the game and quelled this fired-up team. Cobb picked off a Robertson pass at the Cornell 45, ran it in to their 32, where Tom Wynn subsequently misfired on his third field-goal failure of the game. As well as saving its life, Harvard may likewise have saved the Ivy title in this screamer played between two beautifully prepared top Ivy contenders. over.

Harvard came out from under harassment when defensive end Bob Hoffman flopped on a Cornell fumble at the H. 25. The Johns revved up for a 75-yard scoring march, in 10 plays. The three completed passes weren't thrown by Qb Ric Zimmerman. One was thrown by half back Will Slargyl, another by halfback Vic Gatto (12 yards to Joe Cook) and the third another Gatto pass that went for a touchdown to StargyL the left flanker.

The play covered 41 yards and was nearly "broken" at its inception. HARVARD Page 62 lng. It's a little game Detroit also will be playing, for keeps. One just one strong long-relief pitcher have given the Tigers the pennant, not us. Think about it.

The Zap! possibilities exist, but they are not guaranteed. Always the object lesson of the Philly iWhiz Kids makes you play it cool. After they flopped as pennant defenders in '51 the Kids finished 4-3-4-4 with Roberts averaging 23 pitching wins per season, Ennis batting in 100 or more runs annually, Ashburn winning one bat title and almost another. The predicted Philadelphia Era was not one of pennants but of unfulfilled promises, despite these heroics. They were contenders but never again cham- pions.

The Whys? are absorbing because they strongly I relate to the situation now occupied by the Boston Red Sox. The Whiz Kids had a "Lonborg" (Robin Roberts), a strong long-reliever "Santiago" (Konstanty), "Yaz" (Ennis) and one of baseball's great leadoff hitters, Ashburn. Plus youth. In other the words, a foundation for an "era." They also had elderly catching, an uncertainty at lecond base and no "big" pitcher to support the incredible Roberts. Southpaw Simmons came out of the Army (1952) to never equal his 17-8 Whiz Kid season.

Jim Kon-' stanty never again matched who could? his I MVP season as a 16-7 long reliever. Pitching, the thing the Whiz Kids seemed to I have the most of, in the end betrayed them. Just as certainly as it can betray the Red Sox who cannot, and do not expect, ever again capture an A.L. pennant with what Dick Williams, cat grinning, called "my seventh-place pitching staff." Never have so few won so much for so many. 1 But, everybody around here seems looped up and expecting it to happen all over again next season.

That's nice if you happen to be around the second time they pass out miracles. The famous Philly Whiz Kids played a pat hand and their league caught and passed 'em in the Winter trade marts. There is a lesson in this somewhere for the front Office at Jersey where the temptation to leave this bumper kiddie crop undisturbed must be over-, powering.

Mistakes Hurt Eagles As Buffalo Wins, 26-14 By BOB MONAIIAN Staff R.parlor By WILL McDONOUGBt Staff Beporter Bob Dee has started every game in Patriot's history, and the same thing happens the night before. He dreams about what might happen. In his dreams, the opposition almost always seem to be Daryl Lamonica, even though the talented young quarterback plays only for the Oakland Raiders.

"Whenever I dream about rushing the passer, the quarterback always turns out to be Lamonica," says Dee. Do you ever get him? "No he always seems to get away," says Dee. This afternoon, starting at approximately 2 p.m., in Fenway Park, the dreaming will be over and the action will be 'live. Lamonica, the league's leading, passer, and his rugged Oakland Raiders are in town to do battle with the Boston Patriots.

They also knocked Springfield out of the undefeated class while their great defensive unit held the Chiefs, who had been averaging 36 points per game in their four previous starts, scoreless. With a battering ram like Curran to grind out the yardage, Northeastern played old-fashioned percentage football. Believe it no not, in this day and age, the Huskies threw only four passes in the entire game and one of them, a 25-yard combination be tween sophomores, quarterback Bob Connors of Wal-tham and halfback Jim Fen-nessey of South Boston, accounted for the third touchdown. "Why take chances on interceptions by throwing the ball when we can play percentage footabll with a boy like Curran," explained Coach Joe Zabilskl for whom the victory was his 83rd in 20 years at Northeastern. it not only eats up the clock but gives our defensive unit a good rest N.U.
