the North Stars by surprise,

the Flyers didn’t adapt in
time to avert a 4-5 Minnesota
comeback victory in Game 1
of their semifinal series.
Flyer right wing Paul
Holmgren said, “We got
away from our disciplined

style.”

“We're not going to let
them intimidate us," said

. Minnesota Coach Glen

Sonmor, “As many good
authoritative takeouts as
they had, we did, -too. The
faci is we went right out and
let them know they weren't
going to back us out,”

The Flyers, however, went
right out and took a 4-3 lead
in- the first period against
North Stars’ .goalie Gilles
Meloche. Meloche was
replaced by Gary Edwards,
and over the last two periods
Edwards stopped 21 of 22

main reason the game went
the way it did,” Gura said.
“When all of my pitches are
working, there are nine

pitched a major-league

"He changes speeds better

said catcher John Wathan,

with a single before Clint

home run of the year.

Gura, 3-1, retired the first
15 batters he faced before
yielding a soft liner to left

into a double. He struck out

Blyleven breaks up ‘family’?

By MIKE TULLY
UPI Sports Writer

Jim Bibby's six-hit, 5-0
victory over the’ Montreal
Expos Wednesday night
meant more than usual to the
Pittsburgh Pirates. It came
only hours after the team
learned ace righthander
Bert Blyleven had quit.
Pitching, always a valuable
commodity, has now become
even more precious to the
world champions.

Blyleven requested to be
traded, complaining he lost
his edge due to Manager
Chuck Tanner’s tendency to
pull him out of games early.

“1 was always lopking over
my shoulder after the fifth
inning,” the Pittsburgh Post-
Gazette quoted Blyleven as
saying. “Tanner showed
very little faith in me. I
began to lese my com-
pelitiveness. 1 feel now that I
can't produce under Chuck

Tanner.”

Tatum to boost Oilers’
1980 door-kicking hopes

BY IRA KAUFMAN
UPI Sports Writer

NEW YORK (UPI) — The
Houston Oilers, trying to
“kick in the door” blocking
them from an NFL litle,
continued their Oakland
talent raid on the second day
of the 1980 NEL draft by
acquiring veteran’ free
safety Jack Tatum and two
draft choices from the

.

Raiders for reserve running
back Kenny King.

"Last year we knocked on
the door,’’ said Houston
Coach Bum Phillips. “This
year we beat on it and next
year we're going to kick it
in.” '

Phillips made a dent in the
door when he traded Dan
_Pastorlni to the Raiders for

Ken Stabler, a noted Steeler ©

nemesis. In Tatum, Phillips
adds a nine-year veteran
who recently has made more
news off the fleld than on it.
_ Tatum co-authored the
turrent national best seller,
“They Call Me Assassin,”
which revealed how the
former Ohio State All-
‘America's best hits ‘“bor-
dered on felonious dssault.”
