Bobo Hull gets 27th 'hat' Wesleyan has must games as Black Hawks win ahead of 5t Towse a of By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Chicago's Bobby Hull has become the National Hockey League's all tune trickster and Toronto's Maple Leafs are aiming to become this year's arch thieves. Hull banged in three goals Sunday night in the Black Hawks' 7-5 victory over Los Angeles for the 27th hat trick Cougars end season with home contests EDWARDSVILLE Coach Jim Dudley's Southern Illinois University basketball team, 13-10 for the season arid with a week's layoff, will wind up its 1970-71 campaign with three games this week.

The trio of contests will all be at home, starting with Wednesday night's game with McKendree College. Thursday evening, Coach Charles Parsley's University of Wi i Milwaukee, Panthers will furnish the opposition and an opportunity for Dudley's Cougars to avenge one of their 10 defeats. Parsley, who coached for 11 years at Southeast Missouri State at Cape before moving to Milwaukee this season, has announced that his school is moving into the university division of the National Collegiate Athletic Association year. UWM held off a furious rally by the Cougars and beat SIU, 104-96, at Milwaukee just before Christmas. The Cougars' final foe of the season, the University of Wisconsin, Kenosha, will be at the Edwardsville High gym Saturday night to ring down the curtain on Dudley's first season at the helm at SIU- Edwardsville and his first one as a four-year college coach.

Coach Hary Statham's McKendree club fell to the Cougars, 103-97, in SIU's second contest of the season. McKendree, 13-8, has been coming fast and will be tough. The University of Wisconsin, Kenosha, cagers were beaten by the Cougars, 109-102, on the losers' court. However, the visitors have been helped by three players who became eligible at the semester. A sweep of'this week's trio of games could even gain the Cougars a post-season NCAA college tournament bid.

Failing a tourney bid, SIU by sweeping the three games, would end up with an impressive 16-10 record, a dramatic reversal from last season's 7-16 record all accomplished in four years starting from scratch. Cancer doesn't stop her PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) Golfer Ruth Jessen pulled one off for medical science. Bouncing back from cancer and five operations, the 34- year-old blonde won female golf's largest check ever Sunday her first tournament since 1969.

"I'm happy to be alive," she beamed, "much less playing championship golf. Nobody will know the thrill I feel." Miss Jessen, a pro for 15 years, shot a windup 72 at wind-slapped Port St. Lucie Country Club to win the $60,000 Sears Women's World Classic by two shots. Miss Jessen had rounds of 76-72-72 in her one-over-par total of 220. Sandra Palmer fluttered away a three-stroke lead on the final day of the 54-hole "richest ever" ladies tour event.

She got runnerup money of $6,140 for a 222 total. "It's great to be back," said the champion. "I'd been around hospitals so long I felt like I should buy my own." Miss Jessen's latest surgery was for tendonitis in 1970 and she began playing golf again only four months ago. She had a disc fusion in 1963, a tumor removed from her neck in 1965, a rib extracted in 1967 and major cancer surgery in 1968. "I never thought about winning," said the blonde from Seattle.

"I was going to take it easy, see what I could do in the first event of 1971." What she did was lick a field of 73 pros and five amateurs on a course raked daily by breezes off the Atlantic.

In Sunday's other NHL action, New York topped Detroit 4-1 and St.

Louis defeated Buffalo 3-1.
