PAGE 6 NHL facing suit by WHA owner NEW YORK (AP) — When Clarence Campbell, president of the National Hockey League, said last spring that the NHL didn’t plan to expand until the 1974-75 season at the earliest, Neil Shayne went ahead and bought the option for New York fran- chise in the fledgling World Hockey Association. Then, three weeks ago, the NHL reversed itself and an- nounced it would, indeed, expand earlier, awarding franchises for the 1972-73 season to Atlanta and Long island, N.Y., Shayne’s erritory, Shayne, contending “the NHL’s sole purpose for expanding here was to knock us aut,” responded Monday by filing a $33 million anti-trust suit against the league. The damage suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, names as defendants Campbell; NHL chairman of the board, William W. Wirtz; vice-president Dan V. Ruck and the chairmen and presidents of all 14 NHL teams, Shayne, who already has a suit pending against Nassau County ~ his team plans to play in Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Hempstead when the 12-club WHA is scheduled to begin operating with the 1972-73 season — said the NHL “hasn't even got anybody to award the franchise ta — they just gave it to the county.” At the Nov. 9 meeting, however, Campbell said there was one bidder, a group headed by Roy Boe, owner of New York Nets of the American Basketball Association which recently signed a five-year agreement to play in the Nassau facility. DECLINES COMMENT Campbell refused to comment on Shayne’ 8 action. “The place lo discuss these matters is in court,” he said from Montreal, the league’s headquarters, Shayne said the $32 million figure was selected ‘‘because the NHL and the New York Rangers have determined that the franchise out here is worth $6 million for entry into the league plus $5 million for indemnity to the Rangers for entering their territory. “That makes $11 million and the Sherman Anti-Trust Act provides for triple damages,” he said. Meanwhile, Campbell is to meet today in Montreal with city officials and businessmen from Indianapolis, which is seeking an NHL franchise. Heading the group are Deputy Mayor John Wallis and John Weissert, general manager of Indiana Pacers of the ABA.

He got back in the lineup for 11 regular-season starts before reinjuring the leg and again heading for a period of recuperation that has kept him off skates until this week. missed by the Leafs through most of the current season, has: also been missed by his linemates, captain Dave Keon, himself a victim of early- season injuries, and Garry Monahan. “What it amounts to is three training camps in a row for me and it’s tough,"’ MacMillan said Monday as he prepared to skate in his first workout since the second injury. ‘‘I was out three weeks the first time. toe The rugged winger, whose checks have been: ok. long season yet, 55 games left.” Monday’s workout was optional for the Leaf irreguiars, with whom MacMillan is classed at the present, He hopes to skate with the regulars \ “I guess a few more days like that,” said the Charlottetown native after pulling in extra skating time for coach Johnny McLellan, “and Pll be ready to go.’ The Leafs return to action tonight against St. Louis in- Toronto, but.
