Lund plays integral role
in Aeros’ WHA title bid
By NICK VOINIS
Staff Sports Writer
HOUSTON, Tex. “WeTl have to
take the series one game at a time, ”
said Houston Aero center Larry
Lund of the team’s World Hockey
Association title defense against the
Quebec Nordiques.
“Quebec has an excellent team,”
he said. “One thing nice about this
series is you have the two teams
with the best records in the league.
That’s the way it should be.”
“Our defensemen are very
mobile, they shouldn’t have much
trouble (against Quebec’s speed),”
Lund said. “We ll have to check
pretty close, but we play our best
hockey then. Both clubs are capable
of playing a physical series. ”
Saturday night the Aeros con
stantly kept the Nordiques against
the boards, not allowing the visitors
across the red line (center ice) thus
making goalttender Ron Grahames’
job much easier. Four first period
goals allowed the Aeros to cruise to a
6-2 victory in the opener.
The six-foot, 190 pound Lund is
the only player in the World Hoc
key Association to wear a No. 13
jersey. He has been bearing that
number in all of his six years in pro
fessional hockey. The Canadian has
been playing since his early teens in
leagues very similar to American
Little League baseball.
Lund has been playing on the
same line with Andre Hinse and
Frank Hughes since Hinse came to
Houston at the beginning of last sea
son; they had previously played to
gether in Phoenix of the Western
Hockey League before coming to
Houston. The “Go-Go Line” has
been one of the Aeros’ most produc
tive and consistent threesomes of all
time.
Before this season, Lund ranked
sixth among WHA career assist
leaders with 98 (two seasons — 152
games). He added 75 more assists
this season along with 33 goals for
108 total points to qualify as the
team’s leading scorer. He totaled 86
points last season — good enough to
be the Aeros’ second leading scorer
behind Gordie Howe.
Lund, who played on the last two
Western Division All-Star teams
said he never thought he’d end up
playing on the same team with the
immortal Howe. “‘Five years ago it
seemed an impossibility, he said.
“He’s such a great person it’s hard
to define him, ” Lund said of Howe.
“There hasn’t been his equal and
there probably won’t ever be. The
thing that makes him such a good
hockey player is he can do every
thing. He has strength and at
titude.”
“I was impressed with their
(Howe’s) father-son relationship.
The boys have a good attitude and
their family is so close. So many
times this doesn’t happen,” Lund
added. “I’m sure he never pushed
them to play hockey.”
Attending school in the off
season, Lund is only 20 hours away
from graduation at Arizona State
University. He is a business major
with a minor in finance.
This off-season Lund will be
operating his own hockey school in
British Columbia. Teammate Hinse
and Aero coach Bill Dineen will be
joining him along with Minnesota
North Star’s goaltender Cesare
Maniago.

practice lap
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jut-
jawed A. J. Foyt brought the crowd
to its feet Tuesday, but it was little
Gordon Johncock who posted the
■fastest practice lap of the day as ac
tion intensified at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway.
Foyt, the 40-year-old Texas
charger, arrived here from Houston
to begin practice for the 59th In
dianapolis 500-mile race, May 25.
When Foyt appeared the crowd
of about 4,000 fenjoying the warm
temperatures and sunny skies, gave
him a standing ovation. But in a
couple of trial runs, he pushed his
car up to only the 181-plus range.
Johncock, the 1974 champion,
had the fastest time of any of the
drivers for the second straight day,
whirling around the 2 1 /2-mile as
phalt oval at 190.880 miles per hour.
That was well behind last year’s
top qualifying speed of 199.071,
turned in by defending champion
Johnny Rutherford. But the speeds
definitely began to pick up as winds
subsided.
Fifteen drivers turned in laps
over the 180 mark Tuesday, includ
ing Rutherford and other former
champions Bobby and Al Unser and
Mario Andretti. Bobby Unser, the
older of the two racing brothers
from Albuquerque, N.M., was be
hind Johncock at 187.852 mph.
In all, 31 cars made it onto the
track Tuesday.

Your deposits to an Individual Retirement Account
will be 100% deductible from your 1975 income tax.
If you are not now covered by a pension or retirement
plan (even if you may someday qualify for such a com
pany benefit) you can build a tax-sheltered savings ac
count today with BB&L. Every dollar you deposit this year
— up to $1,500 (or 15% of your annual income,
whichever is less) is deductible from your 1975 income
tax.
Earnings on your tax-sheltered account are also free
from tax — until you retire. (And since earning power
normally drops off after retirement, you may pay taxes on
the earnings at a considerably lower rate than now).
It only takes a few minutes to open an Individual Retire
ment Account and there is no charge for establishing this
special savings account.
Find out if you can qualify for BB&L tax-sheltered sav
ings. There’s no obligation — but you need to act now to
get the maximum tax advantage for 1975.
