Thursday, November 23, 1 978 Jets land Ferguson WINNIPEG (CP) Winnipeg Jets, weakened by the loss of one of hockey's highest-scoring forward lines, have turned for help to the man who engineered the breakup. Michael (iobuty, president of the defending World Hockey Association champions, ended months of speculation Wednesday by announcing that John 1'erguson has signed a five-year contract as club ice-president and general By The Canadian Press There have been many ironic moments this National Hockey Ix-ague season for Detroit Red Wings, most of them centring around the refusal of centre Dale McCourl to report to Los Angeles Kings as compensation for the Wings' signing of goaltender Rogie Vachon. First, there was a McCourt shot in practice which banged into Va-chon's shoulder and forced him to sit out of a game against Boston Bruins. The replacement was none other than Jim Rutherford, one member of a package of players of fered by Detroit as compensation. However, an NHL arbitrator decided McCourt should go to Los Angeles.

And then Wednesday night, McCourt missed a penalty shot against the Kings in Los Angeles and the Red Wings had to settle for a 3-3 lie which extended their winless streak to four games. "We have been playing mm It was Ferguson, while he was general manager of New York Hangers of the National Hockey League, who signed Anders Hed-bcrg and Ulf Nilsson of the Jets to New York contracts last year. Ferguson was fired by the Rangers last summer after three years us a coach and general manager. "It goes without saying that the New York team that is winning and creating excitement with the. fans is the team that John Ferguson NHL suspends goalie MONTREAL (CP) The National Hockey League continued its crackdown on dangerous on-iee actions Wednesday by handing Minnesota North Stars goalie Gary Edwards a four-game suspension for clubbing Don Luce of the Sabres during a game at Buffalo last Sunday.

NIIL executive vice-president Brian O'Neill also gave the Ill-year-old Edwards a $100 fine, double the usual $200 for a match penalty. The suspension started when the North Stars played host to New York Islanders Wednesday night. Last Oct. 27, O'Neill suspended Wilf Paiement of Colorado Rockies for 15 games and Paul Holmgren of Philadelphia Flyers for three games in separate incidents. sLs ill Philadelphia's Bernie Parent dives in vain Penalty shot misses, Wings, Kings even very badly and I have been playing badly also," said McCourt.

who went to court to obtain an order which kept him from reporting to Los Angeles. "I wanted to lift the puck, but I couldn't get it in the air enough." The shot was awarded referee Greg Madill when Kings goalie Mario Lessard threw his stick at the puck during a breakaway by McCourt at 3: 19 of the final period. But there was more irony to come. About six minutes later, while the Detroit enjoyed a five-on-three manpower advantage. McCourt sent a 10-foot shot past Lessard to give the Red Wings their tie.

Besides the loss of Hedberg and Nilsson, the Jets suffered another blow when Bobby Hull, the third member of the celebrated line, recently announced his retirement. With that forward line gone, the Jets' performance this year has been uninspiring, with eight wins, eight losses and two ties.

But Ferguson said he hopes to reverse the slide and will "build up. our organization to be prepared for anything that comes about in the future." Referring to renewed talk of a possible NHL-WHA merger, Ferguson said such a possibility "looks good around the corner." The former hardnosed left winger with Montreal Canadiens said he won't leave a stone unturned in his search for hockey talent, even in Europe. Coinciding with the Jets' announcement was one from Toronto that Ferguson has resigned as coach of Team Canada's entry in the Izvestia tournament. Cine shares eo-lead sota North Stars 4-1. "McCourt has not played well for us," said Detroit coach Bobby Kromm, who listened as McCourt was soundly booed by the Forum crowd of 10.33.

"The lawsuit (still under appeal by the NHL) may have something to do with it. He has a lot on his mind." The Penguins rallied from a 2-0 deficit on goals by Lonsberry and Peter Lee after Jacques Le-maire and Larry Robinson connected for Montreal. But Pittsburgh gave up 10 shots the most they've allowed in any-game this season and managed only 30 against Canadiens netminder Michel Larocque. By The Canadian Press Cincinnati Stingers regained a share of first place in the World Hockey Association Wednesday night with a 6-5 overtime victory over Birmingham. But the Bulls were quick to issue a warning that it will be tougher sledding tonight when the two clubs tangle back in Birmingham.

"They won tonight, but it won't be a piece of-cake fur them tomorrow said Wayne Dillon, who had three goals in the losing effort. Cincinnati and New-England "Whalers 5-2 winners over Winnipeg Jets in the only other game moved past idle Quebec. The two co-leaders now have 22 points, while the Nordiques have 21. "We're not doing all that bad," said Cincinnati coach Floyd Smith, whose team started a stretch of four games in four nights with Wednesday's contest. At Springfield, Gordie Howe scored the goal of his professional career and John McKcn.ie added a goal and two assists as the Whalers ended a streak of 11 winless games against the Jets dating to last Dee.
