Old, New jyQ Error in Football Credits at Boulder Penguins Win One By Associated Press The Pittsburgh Penguins used something old and something new to whip Los Angeles in the National Hockey League Wednesday night but something new was all Minnesota needed against Chicago. The Penguins got four goals in the first period, two from veteran Ken Schinkel, another from Andy Bathgate, who was playing his 999th NHL game, and one by rookie Greg Polis, and went on to a 5-3 victory over LA. Meanwhile, Minnesota used three rookies goalie Gilles Gilbert and forwards Judes Drouin and Buster Harvey to clip Chicago, 2-1. Elsewhere in the NHL Wednesday night, Toronto and New York bunched third period goals to score victories, the Maple Leafs whipping Montreal. 6-2 and the Rangers downing Detroit.

4-1. St. Louis took California, 3-2, in the other game. The Penguins, who had won only one of their first seven games, ganged up on Los Angeles early with Schinkel and Bathgate scoring in the first eight minutes. Dick Duff got one back for the Kings but Schinkel again and then Polis upped margin to 41.

The last two goals came 39 seconds apart and the Kings never recovered from that barrage. Gilbert, Minnesota's freshman goalie, turned in his second straight strong performance, stopping Chicago. The youngster kicked out 30 shots an easy night compared to the 46 saves he had in his first NHL start last week in Montreal. The North Stars won it on third period goal the first professional tally for the youngster who moved straight from the amateur ranks last season the NHL this year. Drouin, who was the scoring champ last year, scored other goal to celebrate his 22nd birthday.

New York and Detroit were locked in a 1-1 tie until halfway through the third period and then the Rangers wore the Wings down, bunching goals by Bill Fairbaim, Vic Hadfield and Walt Tkazuck for the victory'. Hadfield had two goals a-s New York stretched its unbeaten streak to seven games following an opening-night loss at St. Louis. Toronto also enjoyed a big third period, rushing four goals past a i Vachon to beat the Cana- diens. Ron first goal of the season started the third period spurt and then Guy Trottier, Dave Keon and Norm UUman also connected, wrapping up the victory for ex- Canadien goalie Jacques Plante.

St. Louis snapped a scoreless tie with goals by Barclay Plager and Chris Bordeleau in the final two minutes of the second period and went on to beat winless California. Plager hit at 17:59 and 1:13 later, Bordeleau scored. Rookie George Morrison made it 3-0 early in the third period and that gave the Blues enough of an edge to stand off late goals by Gary Croteau and Gary Jarrett. The Seals have only two ties to show for their first nine starts.

Kniglilis Bop Blazers, 3-2; Home Saturday Oklahoma City The Omaha Knights took undisputed possession of the Central Hockey League lead Wednesday night by defeating the Oklahoma City Blazers, 3-2.

Mike Parizeau put the Knights ahead to stay at 7:48 in the third period, scoring from 20 feet out after teammate Pierre Jarry drew the Oklahoma City goalie to the right of the net. By DON FORSYTHE One of the biggest disappointments in Clifford young life was being forced to lay out a year of athletic competition at Colorado last year. It was belatedly discovered that Branch had error in the transfer of his credits from Wharton Junior College in Texas to Colorado. was a geography class.

I thought I had withdrawn and I found that they withdrew me with an relates Branch. should have known this before I signed at he says. But, on the other hand, the layoff may have been the best thing that happened to the swift split end. really helped me learn the claims Clifford. learned a lot about football running the other pLays for the Clifford also learned to run.

That may sound strange when talking about a man who has a share of the world record for 60 yards (:05.9), but Branch claims true. I first came here I eouldn't run in a football he maintains. finally took out the hip pads and it started coming Another thing Branch does much better this year is catch the football. a pretty important item for a split end. It all adds up to make him one of the most dangerous runners in the Big Eight.

In short, the big play man that the Buffs have been missing for many years. fortunately for coach Eddie Crowder, Colorado been able to consistently come up with the little plays. the kind which keep you in the game long enough to make the big plays mean something, Crowder thought he had a good thing going in a tandem quarterback system of senior Jim Bratten and junior Paul Arendt, but both have been guilty of erratic play. The Buffs have an excellent stable of runners led by fullback Ward Walsh and tailbacks John Tarver and Jon Keywcrth.

Keyworth, a 6-5, 215- pound sophomore, took over the tailback job last week after Tarver got into Crowder's doghouse because of fumble problems. they ever quit making says Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, can play with any team in the All-America center candidate Don Popplewell heads a veteran line. Defensively the Buffs are led by end Herb Orvis, a 223-pound junior who was the Big top sophomore lineman in 1969. Crowder has shaken up his front four this week by inserting Billie Drake, a 216- pound sophomore, at one end spot and Robert Bruce Smith, a 234-pound senior, at a tackle position. The Buffs need a pressurized pass rush to take the heat off a young secondary.

Linebacker John Stavely and backs John Stearns and Cullen Bryant are all sophomores. good ones, but like all sophomores, eligible to make mistakes.
