defeat Cleveland
HOUSTON (AP) — Mark Howe
scored three goals including two in a
runaway third period to lead the
Houston Aeros to an 8-5 World
Hockey Association victory over,
Cleveland Thursday night in the
first game of their playoff series.
The victory gives Houston a 1-0
lead in the best-of-seven Western
Division playoff. 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.
Cleveland’s Jim Harrison, scored
on a breakaway for the first goal and
Tom Edur scored Cleveland’s sec
ond goal at 5:53.
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.
Murray Hall put Houston ahead
for good 44 seconds deep into the
third period. Hall took a pass from
behind the net and slammed past
Cleveland goalie Gerry Shevers.
Mark Howe then followed with
his second and third goals and
Hughes got his second goal to put
the game out of reach. Gerry Finder
and Shymr scored for Cleveland in
the loosely played third period.
A total of 56 minutes in penalties
was called in the ruggedly played
game, including two five-minute
fighting penalties.

20’s and finished in 1930 and O’Neal

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.

help them.
They’ve got a long way to
go. In a world that isn’t easy.
But with someone’s help,
they’ll make it. What they need
is a friend. 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.
