1984 Labonte puts seal on his 1st NASCAR title Hrudey's goal-tending saves tie for Islanders "He's our designated roadie goal-tender," said Arbour. "Kelly Hrudey has been playing very well for us on the road." The Flyers are unbeaten in their last five games, which included back-to-back contests against Boston and the Islanders. New York is unbeaten in its last three games and trails Philadelphia by four points. "We've had a helluva week three wins and a tie against top teams in the league. We just had tough games back-to-back against Boston (a 5-3 victory) and the Islanders, and it was a real test for our kids," said Flyers Coach Mike Keenan.

Devils Rangers 0 At New York, Ron Low stopped 35 shots and recorded his first NHL shutout since 1978 and Rich Preston scored three goals as New Jersey Devils snapped a nine-game winless streak. New York lost its fourth straight. The Rangers' most ptod-uctive left winger, Don Maloney, fractured his left leg in a first period collision and will miss at least three months. United Pwss International Although Pat LaFontaine made the goal that sent the Islanders and Flyers into overtime. New York's Kelly Hrudey was the hero because of one that wasn't scored.

The two young Islanders were largely responsible for the 3-3 overtime tie Sunday night between the Patrick Division rivals at the Spectrum in Philadaphia. Hrudey's heroics came with the Flyers leading 3-2 midway through the final period. While on a breakaway, Ron Sutter was brought down by Islander Paul Boutilier. Sutter was awarded a penalty shot but Hrudey, moving away from the net, blocked the attempt. "I came out from the goal and maybe Sutter was just a little bit off center, and he had his head down and was trying to make the shot to the corner of the net, but he didn't succeed and I blocked the shot," said Hrudey.

With less than three minutes left in the third period, LaFontaine sent the game into the overtime period when he slanted a 25-foot shot from the left circle through the legs of defenseman Brad Marsh and past goalie Pelle Lindbergh, evening the game at 3-3. For his efforts, Hrudey not only earned praise, but also a new title from Coach Al Arbour. without abusing the car, nd that was no time to abuse the car Elliott, who earned $13 5tiQ for fourth place, also earned an extra $25,000 for winning the pole standings title over Darrell Waltrip Tim Richmond finished second in the 312-mile race, five seconds behind Bodine.

Labonte finished the season with 4.508 points to 4.443 for Gant. Eliioti was a distant third. The field got the first full green flag nearly three hours after the scheduled start of the race, and Waltrip jumped out to the lead on the first racing lop -the ninth official lap of the race.

Labonte. the pole-sitter, earned five bonus points forlliading the first lap. even though it was a yellow-flag lap, and from that point needed to finish only eighth or better to clinch the season championship. On lap 60, Rick McCrary slammed his car into the wall on turn 9 and the yellow flag came out again. When racing resumed, Allison had jumped to the lead followed closely by Waltrip and Gant as the race became official with half of the scheduled 119 laps completed.

On lap 71 Waltrip's car blew an engine, knocking him out of the race. On the 94th lap, with darkness settling in, Allison and Bodine were running a fierce 1-2 with Gant third and Labonte in fifth place as an oil slick forced another yellow flag for three laps. Bt urved ess international RIVERSIDE. Calif. For young Kim Labonte, the end of the 1984 NASCAR Grand National season confirmed all of her best suspicions about her husband.

"As far as I'm concerned, Terry has always been a champion," she said of her racing hubby. "This just made it official." Labonte, 28. finished third in Sunday's NASCAR 500 at Riverside International Raceway, but only needed to finish eighth in the final event of the season to become the youngest driver since Richard Petty in 1964 to become the national champion. Geoff Bodine won the race when the Chevrolet of front-runner Bobby Allison blew a tire les3 than four laps from the finish. The race was delayed nearly three hours by rain and was completed in almost total darkness.

Labonte won his first major NASCAR championship by 65 points over Harry Gant, who finished eighth in the race. Bill Elliott, the only other driver beside Gant with a chance to overhaul Labonte, finished fourth. "Bobby was awful strong all the way around the racetrack," said Bodine, "and I really didn't know where or when I'd be able to pass him. But he blew the tire, and heck, that's part of racing. "I'm real glad I didn't have to pull off a pass on that guy.

That would have been a real good trick." Labonte, who earned $291,000 for the season title, took the safe course to the championship, opting not to go after the leaders on the closing laps. "We ran the kind of race we wanted to run, very conservative," Labonte said. "At one point near the end I felt I had the chance to take the lead, but when I got right there I couldn't get by Nordiques 5, Black Hawks 3 At Chicago, Peter and Anton Stastny each had a goal and two assists to lead Quebec, Chicago had a five-game unbeaten streak snapped, but remain in first place in the Norris Division with a 9-7-2 record.

Micheal Ray Richardson scored 23 points and Darwin Cook added 19 for the Nets, who have won two straight games and three of the last five during the road swing. "For us to come out here and win on the West Coast, especially without having (injured center) Darryl Dawkins, is really amazing," said New Jersey Coach Stan Albeck. "Fifty-four of our 82 games this year are back-to-back.

The team has to learn to live with it." Richardson scored 13 in the third quarter when the Nets took the lead for good. The Nets were in need of some hospitality and the SuperSonics were glad to oblige. New Jersey, in the midst of a seven-game road trip, was coming off a tough victory at Golden State and was ripe for the taking Sunday night. But according to Seattle guard Ricky Sobers, the Nets encountered a gentle team in the Sonics. "When a team has been playing this long on the road, this place (The Kingdome) should be a lion's den." Sobers said after the Nets won 102-97, "and KOIIZV DSAB.S Brewbaker Anto Rental Leasing Inc Top-rated Tennessee State finds 14 players ineligible Low rates Free Pickup No mileage charge Special Weekend rates Special rates to Government Employees 1984 85's Hoicks Low mflease.
