Ky, (AP) The Kentucky Colonels raced to an early lead and never looked back as they beat the N(W York Nets 109-93 Saturday to remain alive in their American Association Eastern Division semifinal playoffs. The victory by the Colonels in the nationally-televised game kept the Nets from clinching the best-of-seven series.

New York leads three games to two with game No. 6 set for Monday night on the court. The Colonels were only behind 13-12 midway through the first period but led the rest of the way. Ciuard Mike Pratt scored 22 points and sparked the Colonels Lhrcughcut the aften.ioon. New York cut the lead to three points 48-45 on a tip-in by Rick Barry with 9:.56 left In the third quarter but that was as close as the Nets came.

The Colonels, behind the shooting of Pratt, Dan Issel. and Les Hunter, pushed their lead to 77-64 after the third period. They out-scored the Nets 13-5 in the final 4:20 of that quarter. New York came within seven poKits 98-91 with 1:59 left in the game on a free throw' by John Roche, but quick baskets by Crilmore and Pratt pulled the Colonels away. Issel led scoring with 24 points and Pratt added 22.

The New Yorkers were paced by Roche with 26 and Barry with 23, far below his four game average of 41.3. Barry missed Friday game in New York because of a virus. In the other ABA plavoff, Indiana guards Billy Keller and Freddie Lewis led a furious fourth-quarter attack Saturday night to help the Pacers beat Denver 91-79 to take a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven West Division semifinals. Keller popped in 15 of his game-high 25 points in the final period as the Pacers pulled away after leading 60-56 at the end of the third period. Lewis contributed eight of his 16 points in the final stanza, two on key breakaways.

Ralph Simpson lopped the Rockets with 19 points, but scored only two in the final period. The Pacers led by as much as 13 pointa, 34-21. early in the second period. But the Rockets took advantage of some cold shooting by Indiana to draw even at 40-all just after the half. A drive by Keller gave the Pacers a 42-40 lead with just over 10 minutes remaining in the third period, the Indiana stayed ahead the rest of the way.

The Pacers can wrap up the first round series with a victory in the sixth game Sunday night at Denver. Utah is waiting to play the winner of Indiana- Denver series, after eliminating Dallas in four straight contests. If a seventh game is necessary, it will played here Thursday night. NewKentucky (10?)

Montreal Makes Comeback In Stanley Cup Playoffs Indiana kf24 16 20 31-91 Fouled Total 31, Indiatw Technical Three-Doint A 9.42«. By United Press International The Montreal Canadiens staged a comeback in the Stanley Cup playoffs Saturday night when they defeated New York 2-1 behind goals by Frank a 0 1 i and Marc Tardif.

In other NHL playoffs, goals by Chris Bordeleau and Stan Mikita gave Chicago a 2-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins boosting the Black Hawk lead to a commanding three games to none. Left winger Mike Walton and defenseman Bobby Orr each scored a power play goal to combine with shutout goaltending of Ed Johnston as the Boston Bruins blanked the Toronto Maple Leafs, 2-0, to take a 2-1 lead in the playoffs. Phil Roberto scored two goals to give the St. Louis Blues a 2-1 win over the Minnesota North Stars in the playoffs. goal, his second of the scries, came at 7:18 of the second period with New Jim Neilson in the penalty box.

J.C. Tremblay carried the puck Unto the zone and fed a pass to Peter Mahovlich at the blue line. Pete spotted his older brother at the York goal crease and slid the puck along the ice to him, from where Frank rapped a banckhander past netminder Ed Giacomin. Tardif took advantage of his own rebound to give Montreal a 2-0 advantage and lead the Canadiens to their first victory of the season over New York on Forum ice. There were less than two minutes left in the middle session when Tardif shut the puck at the New York net but defenseman Hod Seiiing went down on his knees to stop the drive.

The puck, however, deflected back to stick and the speedy Jeftwinger drilled it in to the op'on corner of the Hanger cage. Thirty-nine-year-old veteran Hon Stewart made his second goal of the series when he scored at 7:21 of the final period to spoil Montreal goalie Ken bid for his first playoff shutout. Center Phil Esposito gained the draw deep in the end and relayed a pass to the Point, where Orr passed to Walton and the ex-Leaf whistled a waist high slapshot behind Bernic Parent. Orr, who was particularly brilliant defensively blocking five dead-on shots in the first tw'o periods, then notched his first playoff goal at 1:24 of the final period with the Guy Trottier off at the time. Orr took left winger Wayne Cashman's pass at the point and slappexl it into the lower corner.

The power play, registered 74 goals during the season, was particularly ineffective except on these two second playoff shutout and the first for Johnston in his 10-year big league career was gained without too much difficulty after the Bruins managed to break the scoring ice. Johnston handled 30 shots flawlessly with the Ron Ellis and Jim Harrison having the best opportunities. The Black Hawks, who can complete a of the best-of- seven series Sunday night, dominated the game except for a brief stretch early in the third period the Penguins threatened to tie at 1-1. But after goalie Gary Smith turned back scoring tries from in close by A1 McDonough and Nich Harbaruk, Chicago got the clinching goal. On a two on two break, Bobby Hull passed to Mikita in the right corner and shot caromed into the net off the skate of a Pittsburgh defenseman with 7:19 to go in the game.

Hull also set up the first goal scored by Bordeleau on a 35- foot shot from the left side at 5:33 of the second period. Although Smith made 31 saves, few of them required any effort as the Penguins repeatedly had trouble getting the puck into end of the ice. The Blues, wimiing their first game in the series, trail the North Stars two games to one with the fourth game scheduled for noon Sunday at the St. Louis arena. For the first time in 10 games, the Blues beat Gump Worsley in goals.

St. Louis rookie goalie Jacques Caron stopped 29 Minnesota shots in recording his first win ki Stanley Cup play. Caron played 28 games for the Blues this season after being called from their Denver farm club. Roberto, acquired by the Blues in midseason in a trade with Montreal, scored his second and third goals of the current round of playoffs. TIRES OFF List Prico Goodyeor Polyglos 6.F.

Curtis Counts. sides have Counts, in a terse message, said in Washington that his group been following the negotiations between baseball management and the organization in hopes that they could reach a settlement that would permit the 1972 season to get Before dramatic announcement from Washington, there had been a standstill in the negotiations in New York between Marvin Miller, director of the Major League Baseball Players Association and John Gaherin, the representative. up to the owners to make the next said Miller, taking his stand in the eight-day-old strike that has idled major league baseball for the first time in history. In Washington, the striking players received full support of their position from the National Football League Players Association, which called the baseball position John Mackey, of the Baltimore Colts, president of the NFLPA, issued a statement which said, in part; stand ready to assist the baseball players in every way possible.

is now abundantly clear that the baseball owners are attempting by every means at their legal and destroy the baseball And in San Francisco, noted attorney Melvin Belli made an me a to help end the strike. In a note to owner Horace Stoneham, Belli said: you really want your strikes settled, why all you owners and players hire me, F. Lee Bailey, Percy Foreman, Ed Williams and Lou Nizer (all well-known lawyers). settle your strike forthwith and get more talent with us than got in the whole National Sport 11 Signals By Hal Brown Sunday Sports Columnht Led by a vastly improved showing by its track forces, athletic program is well on its way to one of its best showings in history. With spring sports just getting under way, the Huskers stand a close second to Oklahoma on the all-sports chart and while little hope of overtaking the Sooners, the possibility exists of holding onto that second place rung.

And that would be a marked improvement over last sixth place finish in the final Big Eight all-sports standings. Only in Second Diviiiioii Of the seven sports already completed, the Huskers have been in the second division in only one a seventh place in swimming. A year ago in the same seven sports, four Husker teams landed in the second division cross country, swimming, indoor track and gymnastics. The biggest improvement over the one-year has been made by coach Frank thinclads, who moved up from seventh to third in cross country and from fifth to first in indoor track. The gymnastics team moved up one notch to fourth this year while football (first), wrestling (fourth) and basketball (fourth) remained the same.

The only sport doing worse this year was swimming, dropping to seventh in a sport in which only seven schools field teams. The standings at the end of seven sports shows Oklahoma with 22 points. Nebraska Kansa.s Kansas 32, Iowa State 33, Colorado 34, Oklahoma State 37 and Mis.souri 41. Oklahoma Should Hold On little likelihood that anyone can overtake the Soonors in their bid for a second straight all-sports championship, but the battle for second between NU and Kansas could be close. No one can touch the Sooners in tennis and they've got a good shot at a first division finish in the other three spring sports golf, track and baseball.

And while the Husker golfers and thinclads would appear to be solid contenders for first division roles, baseball and tennis are apt to join swimming as the only second division teams in the NU athletic program this year. Despite their vastly Improved showings in cross country and in indoor track, the NU thinclads don't figure to do nearly as well in outdoor track. The events added to the outdoor program are ones where the Huskers arc weak and the ones you lose on the outdoor schedule are the Husker strong points. The Huskers scored only one-third point in the field events while winning the indoor meet and outdoors you have three added field events, Ihe triple jump, javelin and discus. Another sprint race (220) is added along with a sprint relay (440) w'hile two of the middle distance races where the Huskers piled up points in Kansas City are taken away.
