With the New York Islanders routing Boston, 8-3, to take a 3-1 lead in their Stanley Cup semi final against Boston, the crowd began chanting, “We want Gretzky, we want Gretzky.” They are within one Islander victory of getting their wish. Wayne Gretzky and the Edmonton Oilers put the finishing touches on their semi final series Tuesday night, whip ping the Chicago Black Hawks, 6-3, to advance to the finals with a four-t ur-game sweep. “I don’t think anybody thought we’d win in four,” said Edmonton Coach Glen Sather. “The key is we have a freeskat- ing team that works hard. The guys don’t argue and it’s team oriented.” Unless Boston does some thing quickly, the final will be a classic featuring the three-time Stanley Cup champions against the Oilers and Gretzky.

Ron Siggs, International Director Memorial Student Center 845-1611 Room #239 Est. 1850 The incomparable center scored one goal and gave up the puck for two assists while team mate Jaroslav Pouzar had two goals in the first period. “We just turned to our game and tried to dictate the play,” said Gretzky. “We tried to frus trate them and I think we accomplished that. Right now, we’re in the best stretch we’ve ever been in.” Edmonton built a 4-0 lead in the first period with Gretzky opening the scoring with his Pith playoff goal after taking perfect pass from Glenn Ander son at the blue line, then skating in and beating goalie Murray Bannerman at 2:46. Pouzar made it 2-0 with his first career playoff goal on a power play 61 seconds later. Anderson scored the third goal, also on a power play, after Ban nerman made a stop on Gretz ky’s shot. Pouzar’s second goal at 16:49 gave the Oilers a 4-0 lead. “We tried too hard,” said Chi cago Coach Orval Tessier. “They really wanted to work, but it was just one of those things. The harder we tried, the worse we got.” The Black Hawks scored at 17:12 when Darryl Sutter took a pass in the slot from Tom Lysiak and beat goalie Andy Moog. In the second period, Jari Kurri scored on a slapshot from the left circle after taking a pass from Gretzky. Steve Larmer cut the lead to 5-2 at 4:51, but Dave Hunter’s goal at 18:20 gave the Oilers a 6-2 lead after two periods.

Rambis, the Los Angeles Lak ers’ husky forward, squared off with Portland center Wayne Cooper at center circle early in the second half and several pun ches were thrown before the two men were separated. “The coaches can say what they want, but when it comes game time, only the players are out there,” Rambis said. “The rsemm'K! WTO fight was just an isolated inci dent. It happened real quick and it was over real quick.” The Lakers then went on to whip the Trail Blazers, 116-108, behind Nixon’s career high 36 points, and became the third team to qualify for the NBA con ference finals. “It’s all in a night’s work,” Nixon said with a smile. “. I felt I needed a big game. I needed to take some of the pressure off of the other scorers.” The defending NBA cham pions meet the winner of the San Antonio-Denver series for the conference title. San Antonio leads that series, 3-1, with the fifth game scheduled for Wednesday night in San Antonio. Iphia ' :ks wil I and Milwaukee Bucks will meet in the Eastern Conference finals. Nixon put on a dazzling shooting exhibition in the first half. He missed his first attempt, then drilled 10 in a row, finishing the half with 21 points to lead the Lakers to a comman ding 66-42 halftime lead. Los Angeles appeared to Ik* on its way to a rout in the third period, building a 78-45 lead at 8:55. The Lakers led, 90-66, at the end of the third period.

Preliminary medical tests conducted in Chicago indicated the problem could be controlled by medication, but Cummings decided this week not to go through with a followup biopsy. “Even if he’s 99 percent clear (of the condition) that leaves a 1-percent window,” Collins said. “Whether it’s 70 percent, 80 per cent, or 1 percent, it doesn’t make any difference because there’s still a risk. “There’s a real possibility Terry won’t want to take that risk.
