Wrong. The Hawks beat the Bucks, 118-113, with Maravich outscoring Abdul -Jabbar, 35-33, Sunday but the victory proved nonproductive when the Baltimore Bullets, playing one of their best games of the National Basketball Association season, routed the Cincinnati Royals, 132-101. As a result, the Bullets maintained game lead over the Hawks in the Central Division of the NBA. The Bullets have a 22-26 record while the Hawks stand 18-31 for the season.

Lou Hudson added 31 points to Maravich's 35 as the Hawks a 61-53 lead at half time in Milwaukee and went into the fourth period leading, 93-81.

By ALEXKAHN UPI Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (UPI) Jim Ryun is back. Just ask Kip Keino, the Olympic Champion from Kenya. Hampered by allergy problems in 1971, the former Kansas flash made his first start of the indoor track season Saturday night and polished off Keino in a 4:06.8 mile in the Sunkist Invitational. Despite his lackluster performances last year, Ryun's name Is still magic. The Ryun- Keino matchup drew a turna- way crowd of 13,493 at the sports arena.

"I think it was a good way to start in. preparation for the Olympics," Ryun said nearly an hour, after the race. "It took a lot out of me and I was emotionally upset, not sick." Ryun said the victory over Keino was more important to him than the winning time added, "I would'have liked to have run faster. I think Keino also would have liked a faster time." Keino, making his fourth appearance on his current tour of the United States, suffered his first defeat of the indoor season. "I got boxed in twice," the Kenya policeman said.

"Each time I had to drop back to last and work my way through, the leaders. I felt if I hadn't been boxed, I have won on the But Keino was not too upset over the loss. He said he now was returning home. Ryun and Keino let John Lawson of the Pacific Coast Club set a slow early pace of 2:10.5 for the half mile. It was then that Ryun decided he had to step up the tempo and went to the front.

As expected, Keln challenged In the final laps but couldn't close the gap and was clocked in 4:07.3. The two-mile run was another highlight of the meet because of the return to winning form of three-time Olympian George Young of Casa Grande, who outgamed Frank Shorter of Florida, one of America's top distance performers in the two- mile run in 8:47.2. Young scored his win after finishing a well-beaten third in the San Francisco indoor meet Friday night "I didn't think I had a chance to win because I did so poorly the night before," Young said, '(If I should decide to try for the Olympic team, it would probably be in the 5,000 or 10,000 meter events.

The only other acknowledged leaders in the American to make it through By MICHAEL KATZ N.Y. Times News Service WENGEN, Switzerland- In a town where the most exciting thing besides skiing is a hotel room sign that says, "Please do not feed the blackbirds they are liable to become noisy," one World Cup race was held today and one was not. In the confusion, the United States Alpine team rediscovered another Cochran. Bob Cochran, the 20-year-old younger brother of Marilyn and Barbara, finished third in a special slalom behind Jean-Noel Augert of France and Gustavo Whaler entry in new WHA taps BU's Kelley as coach BOSTON (UPI) The proposed New England entry in the World Hockey Association confirmed weeks of published reports today by selecting Jack Kelley, coach of Boston University's defending NCAA ice champions, as its coach and general manager'.

The Hooslck Falls varsity basketball team defeated Stillwater 49-40 in NHL roundup a Washington County game Friday night. The Hoosiers won despite the Tony Esposito posts 5th shutout By United Press International The Toronto Maple Leafs are the latest to know the frustration of facing Tony Esposito. Esposito turned away 34 Toronto shots to record his'league- high fifth shutout of the season Sunday night as the Chicago Hack Hawks beat the Maple Leafs 4-0. Esposito, who was tied with teammate Gary Smith for the league lead, stopped 17 shots in the first period alone but was called upon to stop only 17 more during th last two periods.

Stan Mikita provided a pair of goals and Pit Martin and Bobby Hull collected one each for Chicago. Hull's goal, his 35th, marked the 21st consecutive game in which he has logged at least one point --one game short of the National Hockey League record. He also assisted on Mikita's second goal. Elsewhere in the NHL, Boston tied Buffalo 3-3, Minnesota beat Los Angeles 5-3, Montreal tied Pittsburgh 3-3, Detroit downed St. Louis 3-1 and California stopped Philadelphia 3-1.

Dallas Smith's 50-foot shot midway through the final period gave Boston its tie with Buffalo and kept the Bruins three points ahead of idle New York in the East. Smith's goal came after rookie Richard Martin the sabre collected his 33rd goal in the second period to Rive Buffalo a 2-1 lead. Danny Grant's third period goal squelched a Los Angeles rally aid enabled the North Stars to defeat the Kings. Minnesota held a 4-0 lead into the second period when Doug Earrie, Eddie Joyal and Julia Widing scored for the Kings within a four-minute stretch. Grant then hit his IHh goal at 8:45 of the final period to put the game out of reach.

Jacques Lemaire's tip-in early in the third period enabled the Cahadiens to tie Pittsburg.

The loss is particularly disheartening since, in the Hoosier'slast game, Hall had his most outstanding performance with 27 points and 18 rebounds to lead the way to their victory over with continued good defense allowed Stillwater no chance to win. The victory brings the Booster's league record to 6-2. Cabana, as well as leading in rebounds, was high scorer with 16 points while Peter McGuire had 13. John Herrlck and Geoff Brewster were high for Stillwater with 10 each. The Hoosiers continued their domination in the junior varsity division with a 59-47 victory.

Again the team showed a well balanced attack in their triumph. Curt Kaukas and Keith Buck led with 15 points, while Mike Mahar had 14 and Mark Folgert added 11. The win gives the team a clear Mleague record. been involved in attempting to bring a Canadian Football League franchise to New York City. Baldwin said the Whalers were negotiating with officials of arenas in three different New England cities and hoped to be able to announce the site of home games within the next three weeks.

field. Not that the American coaches didn't know about Cochran. He had been selected to the Olympic team, as his sisters had been, but he was chosen for the downhill races. "Before today," said Hanspeter Rohr, the men's coach, "he wasn't even considered for the Slalom." With the fastest time on the second run, Cochran, who is from Richmond, Vt, put himself into consideration. Rohr said tomorrow's giant slalom at nearby Adelborden, the last race before the Winter Olympics open Feb.

Poulsen, the team's best in giant, has suddenly developed as a downhill racer and he was 13th after the first run today before both runs was Rick Qiaffee, the 27-year-old college teacher from Rutland, who was in llth place. The main United States hope in the slalom, and the man Augert and Thoeni fear most, Is Tyler Palmer of Kearsarge, But he was 17th after the first run and fell on the second after a very fast intermediate time. Palmer had completed o.ily one World Cup slalom this season he won It.

Cochran's performance made up for Palmer's. "He's a downhill specialist whose best event is slalom," Chaffee said. To Bobby, he said. "We thought you were looking good in practice." Cochran, asked when was the last time he did so wen in this event, replied, "in about never." He was feeling so good that he was almost willing to take part in the 42nd Lauberhorn downhill. Cambridge.

Against Stillwater, however, the team rallied to the task as Fran Cabana and Richard Sprague hit the boards for 25 and 18 rebounds respectively to offset the loss of their big man and also turned in the finest defensive effort of the season holding SUlwater to only 40 points and allowing them just 9 free throw attempts. The game started with errors on both sides, either turnovers or defensive lapses, as the Hoosiers gained only a one point lead, 11-10 at the close of the first quarter.

Stillwater also shot poorly and was ahead by only three points 23-20 at half time. After Intermission, the Hooslck Falls five looked like a different team.

They scored seven quick points to Stillwater's none and never trailed from that point on. At long last, they got their offense rolling and at the other end of the court held Stillwater to just 7 points. The key to their comeback was their control of the boards, especially in the early minutes of the quarter.

The ferocious felines from Hooslck Falls were on the prowl again Friday night as the Hoosier grapplers traveled to Mont Pie asant of Schenectady in a non- league bout.

Previously unbeaten Chris Harrington was completely shut out by his opponent, Demio, of the Raiders. Demio scored a 4-0 decision at Chris's expense. Harrington had the speed, but couldn't quite outmuscle the stockier Mont Pleasant grappler. Mike Quackenbush got things rolling again for the "Cat Pack" as he put his Raider way in 5:27.
