In the main event of a five- bout card at the Montreal by TKO Forum, 18-year-old Eddie Melo of Toronto gained a sixthround knockout over Alj Perez of New York. Furlano emerged from his stool like a hornet in the first round and actually thought that he gained the victory in the initial three minutes. “1 thought I had Lapointe . in the first but the referee came in and separated us when he wasn't supposed to,” sald Furlano. That only bought some time for Lapointe as the champion hammered away for the next five raunds before dropping him . NHL CHANGES New teams, By EATON HOWITT Four new teams may rouse some curlosity in the Natlonal Hockey League this season, but the old question still remains — can Montreal Canadiens win yet another Stanley Cup? When the 840-game season opens Oct. 9 with newcomers Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, Quebec Nordiques and Hartford Whalers, the Cana- diens will be alming for their fifth straight championship. Coach Scotty Bowman has left Montreal to join Buffalo Sabres. All-star goalle Ken Dryden has quit. Centre Jacques Lemaire has gone to Switzerland to continue his career as coach and player, Former Canadiens star Bernie (Boom Boom) Geoffrion has moved in ta take over from Bowman and feela sure his team can win the cup despite the departure of Dryden and Lemaire. “We got Denis Herron (from Pittsburgh Penguins) to go with (Michel) Larocque (backup to Dryden) and right naw I couldn't tell you which one is better,"’ says Geoffrion, ‘‘Lemaire you gotta hate to lose, but we've got some nice young players looking for jobs.” Along with the Canadiens in the Norris Division of the Prince of Wales Conference are Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kinga, Pittsburgh Penguins and Hartford Whalers, one of the newcomers from the defunct World Hockey Association. Washington Capitals, in the Norris Division last son, have moved to the trick Division. The Prince of Wales Conference Adams Division still has Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs and Minnesota North Stars, with Quebec Nordiques t.2 new boys on the block. And before anyoue feels sorry for the Canadiens, it should be noted that Guy Lafleur is looking for hie sixth straight 5-goal seagon. He has a supporting cast that includea the likea of Bab Gainey, Steve Shutt and Larry Robinson, to name a f lew. One of the keenest rivalries expected to develop with the new league mem- bers ia between the Canadiens and Nordiques. Thetwocluba have their firat meeting Oct, 13 at Montreal, The Nordiques held on to three of their top players in the -xpansion draft — Marc Tardif, Serge Bernier and Real Cloutier — and they got Pierre Plante and Dave Farrish from New York Rangers as well aa Detroit goalie Ron Low. Cloutler is the key to any success the Nordiques are going to have, A 23-year-old right winger, he seored 775 goals for the team when it was in the WHA. “Depth appears to be our only problem,’ says Quebec scout George Armatrong. “We have some real fine hockey players here but we have to acquire depth and the way to do that is through me ator Brut topped the oston ins Adams Division last year, led by colorful coach Don Cherry who has departed to joln Colorado Rockies. Fred Creighton replaces Cherry, in charge of a group that’s going a little grey at the temples and has heen bothered by injuries. Forwards Jean Ratelle (38), Wayne Cashman (34) and Don Marcotle (32), and defenceman Gary Doak (33), Brad Park (31) and Rick Smith (31), are hardly youngsters, and goalla Gerry Cheevers is nearing 39. The return to Toronto of Punch Imlach as general manager and the ap- pointmenta of Floyd Smith as coach and Dick Duff as assistant has once more gat Leafs fans hoping this might be the year, But out on the ice, things are the same, There are legitimate stara such as Borje Salming, Darryl Sittler, Lanny McDonald and goalie Mike Palmateer, But from there on, the list geta a little weaker. However, there is hope that with Smith's stress on offence, as compared with Roger Nielion’s defensive strategy, things might be a little more exciting at Maple Leaf “Those stare coat about 25 cents apiece," Stargell said, explaining wh he wouldn't award himself one. ‘‘At the rate I'm giving them out, they’re going to bankrupt me.” The Reds were to send rookie Frank Pastore to the mound in this afternoon's seco game against Jim Bibby of the Pirates. Stargell, as- usual, was ex- cled to be at firat base, tting cleanup for Pitt- sburgh. | Pirates manager Chuck Tanner usually lets the 38- year-old Stargell take the day off fcllowing a night game, but that won't be the case in the championship series. “Stargell’s going to play the rest of the way,” Tann- ner sald. “He's the most valuable player in the league, in my opinion." Stargell's homer came off loser Tom Hume after Tim Foll and Dave Parker had nine’ to open the 11th in- “Tf I hadn't done It, somebody else would have,’’ Stargell said. The Pirates scored twice in the third inning as Phil Garner hit a lead-off homer to right Held and Omar Moreno tripled, scoring on Foli’s sacrifice fly, Mareno’s apeed — he was the League leader in stolen bases this season with 77 — induced right fielder Dave Collings to try to make a shoestring catch of his dinking Hiner. But the ball bounced: in front of Collins and skidded past him for a triple, “Our game plan was to keep Moreno off the bases,” Colling said, *‘] gambled on the play and it hurt us, but i don't think it coat us the ball game, “I did the same thing four innings later ona ball Dave Parker hit, and I made a good play on it." The Reds got those two runs back in the fourth in- ning when Dave Concepelon led off with a single and George Foster followed with a towering home run Into the gpeand deck in leftcentre eld, Cincinnatl! starter Tom Seaver allowed just two more singles before leaving the game for a pinch hitter. “Tom felt he could go on, butit was the last half of the elghth inning and we needed one run,” said Cinelnnatl Manager John McNamara. “We had Tom Hume, who has done the job for us all year.” John Candelaria started for Pittsburgh but left after seven because his side started bothering him. Tanner used five plichers altogether, with reliever Grant Jackson getting the victory and Don Robinson the save, McNamara said the Reds have the character to come back from the loss and beat Pittsburgh in its home park. “This ball club bas got to show somebody something, coming from 10 games behind on July 4 to win the Western Division,"" Me- Namara sald, ‘They tried to do it in the tith inning, They. didn’t throw in the towel, even with two outs.” Concepcion started a Inat- gasprally with two out in the 1ith, singling to right fleld. Foster followed with a walk and Robinson came in to pitch to Johnny Bench. Bench walked to load the bases, but then Robinson struck out Ray Knight to end the game. new lineup Sardena — if not more successful, The Leafs' best youn proapect is firat-round draft choice Laurie Boschman from Brandon. He was impressive in preseason y. Nielaon has moved to Buffalé as an associate coach under Bowman, who says he feels strongly that the Sabres have the potential to win it all, “We just have to get them to play up to it.’ LasE season, the Sabres looked a little lackadaisical and finished 12 points behind Adams Division-champion Beston and eight points shead of third-place Toronto, Sabrea centre Gil Perreault managed 27 goals which wasn’t bad but not as good as he can do. Richard Martin had only a 50-80 season and defenceman Jim Schoenfeld was out just about half the season with in- . juries. A couple of familiar ald faces are expected back in the NHL with Hartford joining the ieague. Grandpa Gordie Howe, 51, who led Detroit for 25 years, and former Leafa captain Dave ‘Keon are in the Whalera lineup, along with Howe's sons, Mark and Marty. At Detroit, general manager Ted Lindsay and coach Hobby Kromm are keeping their fingers crossed that this season willbe better than last year when they were in the Norris Division cellar. One thing that may help the Wings is the end of the SPORTS COMMENT By DON SCHAFFER Terrace is a busy little place. Sois Kitimat, I know that there are more things happening in the sports area than I will ever find out about on my own. I'd like to organize a good sports page in the paper. Local sports are just as important as the national wire-ser vice stuff to any paper, and this one should be no exception. However, I don’thave a staff of ten or fifteen sports- writers working under me like Jim Taylor does in Vancouver for the Sun, There is only me, The other two writers here are usually too busy to do any sports, and in fact I do lots of other things too. I can't possibly be in more than one place at once. I've tried that before and it won't work. The Herald would like to get as much local news as it can onto the pages, but having a small staff makes it necessary to have organizations, co-operation from the community’s If you are part of a sports club, or a community =rvice group, or a darts team, ota bridge player, and you would like to get your group's results into the paper, my number here is 635-6357.

McCourt’ can- now settle down to thinking about hockey after the Wings and Los Angeles Kings reached agreement ending a twoa- year court battle In which McCourt fought a ruling that he move to Los Angeles as compensation for Detrolt’s signing of former Kings goalie Ragie Vachon. Kromm is especially pleased that veteran Vaclav Nedomansky, who scored 38 goals last season, re-signed with the Wings after saying he would take the free-agent path to another club. The Kings, among other things, have a new owner in Jerry Buss, who bought the club from Jack Kent Cooke. Loa Angeles still has some very effective goal scorers in the likes of Maree] Dionne, who collected 59 goals iast season, Dave Taylor, 43 goals, and Butch Goring, 34. Pittsburgh will again be looking for Improvement from some young players to help established veterans suchas Peter Lee who had 32 goals last season and Greg Malone, 35 goals. Other returning veterans include former Leafa Rick ‘Kehoe and George Ferguson, and Boston castoff Greg Sh pard, who had 15 goa despite missing the opening of the seagon. Minnesota coach Glen Sonmor and general manager Lou Nanne are anxious to see continued development by centre Bobby Smith, who scored 30 goals and 74 points while winning rookie-of-the-year honors last season. Al MacAdam, Tim Young, Mike Fidler and Steve Payne were all 20-goal scorers for the North Stara who added Paul Shmyr, Cal Sandbeck _ and Paul Semenko from Edmonton in the expansion Graft.

Meanwhile, Edmonton Oilers assigned goalie Doug Favell to Houston Apollos of the Central Hockey League as an assistant coach. Faveil, who also played for Toronto Maple Leafs, Colo- rado Rockies and Philadelphia, is not expected to see much playing action. In another move, Toronto Maple Leafs sent centre Bruce Boudreau, left winger Reg Thomas and defen- ceman Bob Neely to New Brunswick Hawks of the American Hockey League and released defenceman dim Dorey. In Buffalo, the Sabres kept taking the lead but Philadelphia kept coming back as the two teams played to a draw. ; Buffalo's Larry Playfair gave the Sabres a 1-0 lead after just 29 seconds of play on a shot that ‘glanced into the net off a Flyers defen- ceman, Bob Kelly tied the game at 9:00, Tony McKegney gave the Sabres a 2-1 lead two minutes later, but Reg Leach tled it again late in the period.
