"Just last week I was thinking about how lucky we'd been," says Lemm, the Houston coach. "Outside of Leroy Mitchell getting hurt in training camp we haven't had many serious injuries." But this week spooky things started to happen and almost every day saw a key player in sick bay. "Now it has hit us all at in liams College crew gets the 19.

(AP) Bulls Triumph Behind Haskins 7 Birdies By Nicklaus Boost Lead fulled Press International NAPA, Cal. Jack Nicklaus, playing with the form that made him the king of the game three years ago, sank birdie putts on seven of the last 10 holes ye3terday for a five under par 67 and the lead after two rounds in the $140,000 Open. Nicklaus, slimmer and trimmer than he was before, nevertheless showed the power he's always had as he tore up the back nine of the Silverado Country Club's Northj Course, rat-, tling in consecutive birds on 14, 15 and 16 and missing an eagle by the smallest of margins on 18.

SUNDAY'S GAMES Toronto at BOSTON St. Louis at New York Pittsburgh at Detroit Minnesota at Philadelphia NBA EAST Terrier coach Larry Na-viaux paused yesterday to throw a bouquet toward his offensive line.

"They're a great bunch of guys," he said. "They pick up stunts well and they're so good we don't have to worry about having a tendency to run in one spot on key downs." The U. front wall has only three seniors tackles John Doriss and Mark Tortora and guard Steve Bbgner. Center Tim Johnson, guard Bill Soucy and tight end Frank Jewett all have another year to play. But the B.U.

blocking doesn't end with the line. "If the line does its job we'll move the ball," says Naviaux, "but all our backs have to block too. By BILL GRIFFITH Glob Staff UMass, Boston University and Northeastern all have great reasons to win their football games today. UMass can' wrap up the Yankee Conference title with a win against Vermont at Alumni Stadium in Amherst. B.U., a team that has relied on its bench all season, wants to improve its 5-1 record by beating a tough Connecticut team (4-2) at Nickerson Field.

Northeastern wants to beat Eastern Michigan on -two counts. First, it wants to avenge the 41-0 drubbing of a year ago in Ypsi-lanti, and second, it badly, needs a win to snap a four-game losing streak. to Win That's why there's so much pressure on the sophomore' backfield of. Tim Ryan (fullback), Sam Hollo (quarterback), Pat Diamond and Mike Fields (halfbacks). Says Naviaux: "They still have a bit to learn." Connecticut's backfield will lack speedy flanker Mike Zito, sidelined with an injury.

The Huskies boast halfback Vin Clements, perhaps, the best runner" in New England, and quarterback Rick Ro-bustelli. "They'll -be" fighting mad," said Naviaux about UConn. "They just lost a tough one to UMass and they'll be bouncing back. That loss will spark, them." UMass will.be trying, to contain Vermont's Houston I offense an exciting attack which 'produces a lot of yards and points, but also many fumbles and interceptions. The inspiration is there for UMass to win: it can clinch the Conference insure a winning season after last Fall's debacle and do it in its last home game of the season.

Vic Fusia can use three quarterbacks. Ken Hughes will probably start, with Tim Adams and Mike Mar-chev coming off the bench if the club falters. team has four runners with five yards-per-carry averages. They aire Jerry Gras-so of Everett, Ed Sarno of Waltham, Pat Scavone and Dick Cummings. Craig Lovell has scored three TD's in only 16 carries.

Stitch twist his ankle and we don't know; whether he's going to be ready or not." Lemm can go on and on. To go with Joiner, Rice, and Stitch, he has fullback Hoyle Granger and linebacker George. Webster hurting. 't All of these people are vital to the Oilers and their chances of catching the Jets in the race for the top of the East Division. Granger is the key to the Oilers' runnning game which is essential.

Granger is a hard running fullback who has had outstanding games against the Pats in recent years. Defensively, the Oilers are strong but vulnerable with Rice, Stitch and Webster ailing. "We were using some new people and they did a good job," said Lemm. "One real surprise for us has been cornerman Zeke Moore. When Mitchell was hurt we had to have someone do the job for us." Moore is an agressive youngster who likes to punish pass receivers.

"In the past Zeke was too aggressive if that's possible. He was actually trying too hard, I guess. When something would develop he'd react too quickly. He was overanxious and this caused him to make mistakes." Mitchell had been the Patriots' most valuable player in 1968 by vote of his teammates and was rapidly becoming one of the best cornermen in all of pro football. "It was one of those freak injur ies," says Lemm.

"One of the first days we had contact in camp Leroy made a tackle andwhich injured his neck put him out. PATS PATTER The Pats made some more moves Friday to get their roster in shape for Sunday Clive Rush started by placing Bob Baily on waivers and Bob Gladieux on the "move" list both are running backs This left three open spots, since defensive end Ron Berger had been "moved" earlier in the week Rush will fill these spots with Ron Sellers, Barry Brown and John Cagle Sellers will probably start as one of the wide receivers Brown, a linebacker, will be in reserve as will Cagle, a defensive lineman. BRUI1SS (Continued from Page 21) "It's not that at all," he insisted. "Look, everybody in this game likes to try to play the man. We do it better than anyone else.

And we give away something when we don't." Presumably, Rogatien Vachon will be in the Montreal goal tonight because old Gump Worsley really has not had all that, much work yet. Sinden will continue with his strict goalie rota-, tion schedule which is working out well. Eddie Johnston gets his regular turn this evening and has usually played superbly in, front of his- homefolks in the Forum. American's Homers Help Honkyu Win Inrtet Press International TOKYO American Gordon Windhorn belted two solo homers and teammate Tokuji hit a tie-breaking seventh inning, two-run homer to give the Hankyu Braves a 5-3 victory yesterday over the Yomiuri Giants in the fifth gate of the Japan Baseball Series. The Giants lead 3-2 in the best of seven series.

dwjq uuuae once," says Lemm, who despite a flock of walking wounded for players, finds himself a 9-point favorite over the winless Patriots at Boston College tomorrow. "Against Denver last week we had (Charlie) Joiner, a fine young prospect break his arm. The-next day we had to make a decision on George Rice. George was trying to come back from knee surgery and had been having problems. So we decided that he needed another operation.

"Then Wednesday out at practice we had Carel the second quarter and withstood any subsequent Baltimore challenges to leave with its fifth win of the young season. Wesley Unseld, the Bullet center, was far from his usual self, and only the sensational shooting of cornerman Jack Marin and guard Kevin Loughery, the one-time B.C. player, kept the rwise unimpressive Bullets in the game. The Bulls last year seldom played well enough to be characterized as "mediocre," but the Windy City club outplayed the ex-Eastern Division champs in every phase of the game to claim its second straight impressive road win. It scored a 101-87 triumph over San Francisco earlier this week.

CELT CHATTER Rookie Steve Kuberski received a fine ovation after a four minute stint in which he hit his first two NBA hoops and blocked a shot Bernie Williams complicated, things for the official scorer as the Rocket guard entered the game with No. 32, the same as rookie Bobby Smith. No explanation was given Heinsohn did not receive a technical foul. In fact no one did, and that could be an NBA record for this year.
