Ferguson aggravated a hip in. jury that kept him out of the final Montreal game against Minnesota North Stars in the seml.final and the first game of the series with the Hawks. Ironically, Vachon's debut in the National Hockey League was similar to the one Dryden enjoyed this spring.

Vachon played only 19 regular season games for the Canadiens In 1967, but took over for nine games In the playoffs. The Can. adiens eliminated New York Rangers In four straight games that year, but lost to Toronto Maple Leafs in six games in the final. Two seasons later he took over from an injured Lorne (Gump) Worsley in the quart. er.final round againbt Boston Bruins and helped Montreal right through to the Cup final against St.

Vachon, who shared goaltend. ing duties throughout the regulet season with Phil Myr, has found himself shuffled to the backup role throughout Mont. real's 17 playoff games so far because of the sensational work of rookie Ken Dryden. Buts he's still better off than Myre who has not dressed since the end of the regular schedule.

"The important thing is to can do is to get yourself as mentally ready as possible so that you can go in and help on a minute's notice." Vachon apparently hasn't lost his sense of humor despite his displacement. "Besides, my back gets sore sitting on the bench and leaning over the boards to see the play through all these games," he said with a grin. The Canadiens held an op. tional workout before their de. parture for Chicago, with most of the big gunsJean Beliveau, Henri Richard, Frank and Pete Mahovlichpassing up practice.

The Canadiens left Wednesday for Chicago for tonight's fifth game of the bestofseven series against the Black Hawks. The series is tied 2-2 and tonight's game is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. EDT (6:30 Regina time).

4 Tiott fit MONTREAL CANADIENS' 5-2 victory on Tuesday night over the Chicago Black Hawks did little more than turn the Stanley Cup final into a best-of-three series. If you don't believe me and you. are a betting typecall your local bookie. The line for tonight's fifth game, scheduled for the noisy Chicago Stadium, was 9-8 and take your pick. To the non-betting types, this simply 'means that one would have to bet $90 on the 'Hawks to earn $50 while a $50 wager on the Canadiens would bring you $80.

And that is about as as the two clubs are on paper, too. You can't give either the Hawks or the Habs an edge in goal. Tony Esposito has been tremendtious in the Chicago net and rookie Ken Dryden '-has been brilliant in the Montreal goal. On the blueline, it is pretty close to a saw-off. Terry Harper and Jacques Laperriere form a sound unit.

Harper is the type of rearguard that is all over an attacker as he was when Bobby Hull got his llth goal of the playoffs in 1.Sunday's third game. Laperriere is also sound in his own end, and is better than average on the point. They can hold their own with any duo that Hawk coach Billy Reay can toss into the fray. J. C.

Tremblay and rookie Guy Lapointe, me.00 the nabs' other regular unit, both like to lug the puck out of their own end. This could be the key to the series. Tremblay is the type who can control the 'entire game if given room to handle the puck. However, he has a tendency to give the puck away when piessured by forecheckers. Bill White and Pat Stapleton are the Hawks' best unit.

Neither are hitters, but White is tough to get away from and 'Stapleton has the knack of hitting forwards with the long pass. Keith Magnuson and Doug Jarrett are having trouble with the Hab forwards, and Reay has been forced to use Rick Foley more than he would probably like. He still goes most of the way in game with White and Stapleton. Edge for Habs? IF THE BLACK HAWKS are vulnerable, it could be up the middle. The big Montreal centres are tough to move off the puck, particularly with Frank Mahovlich and Yvan Cournoyer busting in from the wings.

They can kill most teams by Stan Makita has never played better for the Hawks, despite the fact that he appears to be playing with more caution than in the past because of his chronic bad back. Pit Martin appears to have shaken off his knee injury, but is on the small side as is Lou Angotti, who is used sparingly to keep him to coach Reay. Danny O'Shea is the only big Hawk centre, but isn't as good as any of the Hab pivots. Canadiens have the edge in hitting, particularly up front. But, they really haven't used their size to advantage thus far.

The Hawks can always retaliate with Dennis Hull and Cliff Koroll they are big and aggressive. Then there is Bobby Hull, who has to be the key as far as the Black Hawks are concerned. Houle did an outstanding job on check, ing Bobby on Tuesday, but I doubt whether he can log the same amount of ice time against the Hawk superstar in tonight's fifth game. Then, Nab coach Al MacNeil must find someone else to lean on Bobby, who can't afford to be suckered into foolish penalties. No matter how one looks at the comparative -strengths and weaknesses of the two clubs, the -keys still appear to be Bobby Hull at one end and J.

C. Tremblay at the other. If Tremblay can be the take-charge-guy he was against the Boston Bruins, $50 will get you $80. Bobby Hull is certainly capable of being able to get $50 for your $90, but I keep thinking what Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge, Johnny Bucyk, Johnny McKenzie, Ted Green and the rest of the Boston Bruins couldn't do against the Canadiens. TORONTO (CP) The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association's first-level junior playoff plans were thrown into disarray Wednesday night when St.

Catharines Black Hawks refused to continue their Eastern final in Quebec. And the CARA, in executive meetings earlier in the day, failed to reach an agreement on a possible East-West playoff for the Memorial Cup. St. Catharines beat Quebec Remparts 8-3 in the fifth game of their best-of-seven series here Wednesday night. That left the Remparts still leading the serles 3-2 with the sixth game scheduled for Quebec Friday.

But Hawks' president Fred Muller said after the game he would not send the team back to Quebec where they were attacked last Saturday by angry Quebec fans. He said St. Cathalines would rather forfeit the series. CARA president Earl Dawson said after the meetings Wednesday afternoon that the series should continue in Quebec de. spite the Hawks' objections.

Dawson was not available after the game for comment on the St. Catharines refusal. The meetings also involved representatives from the Western Canada Hockey League who hoped to arrange an East-West playoff. WCHL president Ron But lin attended along with Bill Hunter, general manager of the league champion Edmonton Oil Kings. Dawson said, however, that the meetings ended without an agreement among the WCHL, the Quebec Junior Hockey League and the Ontario Hockey Association on a Memorial Cup series.

West and Spencer, in a press release, stated the arena would cost in excess of $800,000 which is more than $400,000 above the estimated cost pre.

sented to city council by the Civic Facilities Association, of which the mayor is president. The mayor accused the aldermen of trying to take political advantage of the situation and stated their cost figures were obtained by pricing the Swift Current and Medicine Hat arenas which are not similar to Prince Albert's proposed arena. VANCOUVER (CP) Joe Crozier, former coach of Van. couver Canuck Wednesday settled his 235,000 suit against Vancouver Hockey Club Ltd out of court. Lawyer John Steeves, representing Crozier, told Mr.

Justice Jay Gould that both parties had agreed to a settlement in the best interest of hockey. He said also that all allegations of improper conduct were withdrawn and that a countersuit was also withdrawn. The lawyer told the court one of the terms of the agreement was that particulars of the settlement not be made public. Crozier said he was happy with the outcome of the case. He was fired Feb.

Only the international tournament held in Winnipeg in 1967 can compete with the forthcoming encounter in its international significance.

Incidentally, his playing white is by no means risky. On the contrary, using the initiative in an opening, he is fond of pressuring his opponent for a long time, whereas, when on the black side of the board, he sometimes runs serious risks strategically, although It is not easy to refute his ideas tactically. After a long interval, Fischer has won the right to enter the challenge round for a third time, and the Amer'. can Grandmaster has lately improved the standards of his performance. But, it appears, shortcomings still remain in his playabove all, in complex modern strategy in openings.

The question is, however, whether his opponent will succeed in finding such forms in which these shortcomings will become pronounced. post taken nia Golden Seals, another NHL club.

He won this title at the in. ter-zonal tournament in 1952, where he qualified for a challengers' tournament. This was followed by a long period in his chess caree when, though remaining at a high level, he failed to find a place among the chess elite fighting It out for the world crown.

Now, 18 years later, he has qualified for the challengers' elimination round for a second time. One cannot but mention another, purely human trait of Taimanov: his inexhaustible chess optimism. Taimanov, already at the ebb of his chess career, seems to be living through his second youth. Taimanov first achieved high summits of chess mastery when he tied for first place with Mikhail Botvinnik at the 20th U.S.S.R. chess championship in 1952, although ceding top honors to Botvinnik in a playoff.

It was in those years that Taimanov's strategic skills took shape. He avoids risky and unfounded attacks and mounting pressure on the opponent's bastions in the centre and the Q-side, refraining from irrational attacks on the enemy king. For a long time Taimanov was less confident in defence, especially against sudden attacks on his king. Ho repeatedly failed, when playing black, to find sufficiently dependable ways of counteracting the white's opening move of I. P-K4.

While consistently mastering the art of transition from defence to counter-attack in 195940, he finally assimilated successfully systems of openings for black. To this very day, he continues to be one of the best connoisseurs of the modern variation of L. Paulsen's system in Sicilian. defence. Among his limitations, in my view, are a certain under-estimation of the oppo- nent's resources, in defending against vigorous attacks on the king in particular.
