-r -v -r 1 Borfon Sunday Glob May 31, S7 Arena crowd cheers Unser's victory I 1 Charlie Brockman, and spiced with comments by former winner Roger Ward and in-depth views and interviews by "Mod" champ driver Jackie Stewart of Scotland. The crowd broke into applause at frequent intervals. The biggest round came whn Unser was given the checkered flag signal, indicating his final lap. The audience clapped for a couple of minutes as Unser drove to victory. They particularly appreciated the quick pit stops executed by Unser's crew.

"You win 'em and lose the race," he said afterwards, "you can bet something will happen to him." The light bit of humor, in what must have been a heartbreaking situation, was one of several behind-the-scenes reports offered closed circuit color TV viewers of the 54th annual Indy 500 yesterday afternoon at Boston Arena. The attendance for Abe Ford's promotion was disappointing about 800 racing fans showed up but the telecast was anything but that. It was a professional job all the way, headed by 500 'em in the pits," was the consensus of the people. Commentator Stewart was very effective during the hour's delay of the race. He described the feelings of a driver before the big ones, and the problem of having to unwind and then psych yourself up again.

"Everybody sits alone with their emotions before the start," he said, and the fans buzzed in anticipation. A highlight of the telecast were interviews with drivers after their cars were forced out of the race Ruby's was an example. Boston Arena fans had the advantage over most of the 300,000 persons at Indy in this respect. You could tell they w-ere wrapped up in the race. They rose when Al Hirt played the National Anthem.

They cheered when Tony Hulman, Speedway president, announced "Gentlemen, start your enr gines." They cheered again, when Hulman repeated the declaration. And they breathed a sigh of relief when two nasty-looking accidents didn't turn out to be serious. There was a genuin of empathy for the divers. When Unser said the rain did a job on hi nerves, there was a nodding of heads. But perhaps the best comment of the day cam from one gentleman who was glad that Mario Andretti didn't repeat.

"I couldn't stand another year of those damn oil commercials," he said as he puffed on a cigar. sobs uncontrollably By Marvin Pave Globe Staff Lloyd Ruby, the 42-year-old Texan who led the Indianapolis 500 in the late stages on three previous occasions, was up among the leaders yesterday when bad luck struck again. Ruby, who started in 25th position, had worked his way up and was challenging eventual winner Al Unser on the 50th lap. But Ruby's car blew a gasket and once again, he took an unforseen exit. "When Ruby is leading Unser's wife United Press International INDIANAPOLIS Al Unser had to give his wife a shoulder to cry on before he could savor his victory in yesterday's 500 mile race.

Unser, relaxed and composed despite hij tension-packed three hours in a racing cockpit, grinned when he pulled into Victory. Then his wife rushed into his arms and sobbed uncontrollably while Unser held her close. They didn't speak. There was one kiss. It was a two-minute break from pressure.

"The car was beautiful all day," Unser said. "There were no problems Bucknum, Jack Brabham and Roger McCluskey were involved in a mess which spilled burning oil on the track while unser had more than 50 miles to go. "I was coming down the backstretc he said, "when it happened, and I got through on the apron. There wasn't really any problem at all." Unser gave his crew and particularly chief mechanic Giorge Bignotti a lot of credit. "The crew was great," he said.

Unser also became the eighth pole-winner to roll into Victory Lane the first since Parnelli Jones, now his car owner, in 1963. Unser won the pole as the fastest first-day qualifier at a speed of 170.221 mph. With 45 laps to go in yesterday's grind, Unser had a 49-second lead over Foyt, then running second. But when the green light came out again following the three-car collision, Unser lapped Foyt and barring mechanical problems or an accident, Unser was home free. Foyt's engine then became sour and he lost out in the dash for "show" money.

Last year, Unser broke a leg in a motorcycle accident the evening after the first day of the "500 time trials was washed out and sat out part of the racing season. And in 1950 brother Jerry was fatally injured in a practice crash at the Speedway. mntANAPOUS Fin.il unofficial standings oi the 500-milP Krifir tiMHH. Al Vnr, Albuaueraur. N.M.

Bobby Unser, the winner's brother and the Speedway champion just two years ago, was 11th. Al's triumph made the Un-sers the first brothers to win in the 54-year history of the race. Johnny Rutherford, Fort Worth, and Joe Leonard, San Jose, were other early challengers.

IJricre after brain operation MONTREAL Michel Briere center for Pittsburgh Penguins, was reported in satisfactory condition yesterday following a second brain operation for a removal of a blood clot in the left temporal area Friday. Although he has not regained consciousness since the accident, doctors say they still hope for a full recovery in view of Briere's age and strong with the car, andI never doubted that we could do it. His problems, he said, came on the race track and not with his vehicle. A few times, he said, he found some occasional oil on the track, but he didn't elaborate on the point. The race cars are not supposed to spill oil on the track, and can be penalized should they do so since it makes driving at some 200 miles per hour dangerous.

The accident that probably cost him a record for the 500 miles didn't have any effect on his win, he said.

Spilled fuel also blazed and although the three drivers escaped unhurt, the wreck caused the yellow caution flag to be displayed for nearly 18 minutes. The field had to dodge into the track apron to keep going, thus slowing the pace to below record speeds. That was the only accident of any consequence.

The yellow flag was displayed twice more. Art Foliar, Medford Ore, blew his engine in the main stretch on the 28th lap while running third. Then Ruby, Wichita Falls, was black-flagged bc-causcd his exhaust was throwing black smoke. In all, the yellow caution flag was displayed for 23 minutes and seconds. Only the first five went the full distance.

Andretti, in sixth place, was flagged down at 199 laps; Jerry Grant, Seattle, seventh, went 198; rookie Rick Muther, Laguna Beach, in eighth, and Carl Williams, Grandview, who was ninth, went 197; Bruins add 1 full, 2 half Cup shares The Boston Bruins added four full shares and two half shares to the 21 regular Stanley Cup playoff shares that are given by the National Hockey League.

The Bruins awarded full shares to Ted Green, Ron Murphy, Don Marcotte and Wayne Carleton. The club awarded half shares to assistant trainer John Forri-stall and assistant general manager Tom Johnson.
