Two minutes to victory for -
_ Camp bells, but Wales
triumphed”

BUFFALO (CP) —
Campbells may have
biown their last chance to
beat the Wales.

The National Hockey
League hopes to be ie to
institute a new challenge
for its all-star players for
the 1978-79 season, so the
16,433 fans who watched
the Prince of Wales
Conference and Clarence
Campbell Conference in
the 3ist annual All-Star
Game Tuesday night may
have. seen the last.

There are plans
tonhave the NHE all-stars
play either three or. four
games against an allstar

squad from’ the Soviet. his

The

Union next January and
this would replace the
Wales-Campbeil battles
which began in 1975 just
after the league ex-
panded to 18 teams.
Every season, the
Campbells got closer to
beating the other con-
ference, but no closer
than they did Tuesday

night.

The Campbells were
less than two minutes
away from victory but
Richard Martin, one of
two Buffalo Sabres on the
club, whipped the
capacity crowd into a
frenzy wi when he popped in

rebound past

Wayne Stephenson ‘ot
Philadelphia Flyers wha
split the Campbells
goaltending chores with
Billy Smith of New York

"Islanders.

Then with 3:55 gone in
sudden-death overtime,
the crowd went delirious
as Buffalo centre, Gilbert
Perreault’s pass attempt
went off a stick and past
tte henson. to give the

es a 3-2 triumph. |

Namath said he made
the decision last season
while watching Haden, a
second-year quarterback
out of Southern Cal, guide
the Rams into the play-
offs, where they lost in
the first round to Min-
nesota Vikings.

“IT knew this was my
last year,” Namath told
The Times. “It was no fun

was a bit melancholy,

Several times rumored
