The second game will be played Saturday in Houston before the series moves to Cleve land for games Sunday and Tues day. The Aeros, defending WHA champions, emerged from a brutal first period with a 3-2 lead on power goals by Mark Howe and Frank Hughes and a go-ahead goal at 15:52 by rookie Terry Ruskowski. The agressive Crusaders took only 18 seconds to score their first goal on Houston’s rookie goalie Ron Grahame.

The two teams exchanged goals in the second period with Paul Shmyr scoring for Cleveland and Ted I Taylor scoring for Houston at 19:23.

A total of 56 minutes in penalties was called in the ruggedly played game, including two five-minute fighting penalties.

Pro officials overlook ‘radical’ Bill Walton The professional sports estab lishment bent to accommodate Joe Namath, Alex Karras and other in dividualists. But it may be a differ ent matter whether it and Bill Wal ton can live together. More and more, Walton has be come a spokesman for causes many would view as part of the radical left. Now he has appeared at a news con ference to condemn the FBI and urge “the people of the world to stand with us in our rejection of the United States government.” There is no reason why Walton cannot make such statements. He has the full protection of the Con stitution in doing so. But there is every reason why such actions make it increasingly unlikely that Walton will ever fulfill the vision one basketball team has had: a superstar who firings champ ionships. For one thing, there is a clause in most athletes’ contracts that pro hibits them from saying anything detrimental about their team or their league. Just how Walton might have damaged the Portland Trailb- lazers of the National Basketball As sociation is a matter of interpreta tion. But professional football was able to force Namath to sell a bar because it alleged that gamblers drank there, thus creating a detri mental image for the sport. “This is a hard thing to swallow all at once,” Lawrence Weinberg, president of the Portland team, said of Walton’s statement. “We ll all have to sit back and try to digest what has happened. Over a period of months Walton has done things his employers would rather he didn’t: espouse rad ical causes, refuse to take pain- killing drugs, condemn capitalism, become a vegetarian. And he be came close friends with Jack Scott, the sports critic who allegedly has had contact with fugitive newspaper heiress Patty Hearst and with who Walton appeared at a news confer ence Wednesday. It was almost a year ago that Wal ton signed a contract worth a re ported $2 million after Portland made him the first selection in the NBA s college draft. His signing was heralded as the beginning of the end of Portland’s losing ways. It did not happen that way. Wal ton, known to be an individualist, turned out to be more of one than anybody in Portland bargained for. His performance on the court- during the half season that he played-was not the work of a miracle man. The team still lost more than it won; it again failed to make the playoffs. All the while, Walton was not viewed the same way as others who created a stir because they were dif ferent. He was not flamboyant, as Namath is. He was not suspended for betting on games, as Karras was, or berated because he refused to talk to reporters. Now Bill Walton and his team — indeed, Walton and sports — stand farther apart than ever. It is difficult to believe that both can remain where they are and still be partners at game time. Legion post to sponsor C-S team Members of the newly formed College Station American Legion Post met Wednesday in the lobby of the Bank of A&M and voiced ap proval of District Commander Bob Long’s idea to sponsor an American Legion baseball team in College Station.

Someone to act as confidant and guide. Perhaps, it could be you as a Salesian Priest or Brother. The Salesians of St. John Bosco were founded in 1859 to serve youth. Unlike other orders whose apostolate has changed with varying conditions, the Salesians always have been — and will be, youth oriented. Today we’re helping to prepare young sters for the world that awaits them tomorrow. Not an easy task but one which we welcome. And how do we go about it? By following the precepts of our founder, Don Bosco. To crowd out evil with reason, religion and kindness with a method of play, learn and pray. We’re trying to build better communities by helping to create better men. As a Salesian, you are guaranteed the chance to help the young in a wide range of endeavor... as guidance counsel ors, technical and academic teachers, as coaches, psychologists ... in boys clubs, summer camps ... as mission aries. And you are given the kind of training you need to achieve your aims. The Salesian family is a large one (we are the third largest order) but a warm one. A community with an enthusiastic family feeling where not only our talents are shared but our short comings, too. If you feel as we do, that service to youth can be an important mission in your life, we welcome your interest.
