Willis Reed scored 22 points and Earl Monroe contributed 21 as the New York Knicks held off the Los Angles Lakers for an 87-83 victory Sunday and gained a 2-1 lead in their National Basketball Association championship playoff series. v Game No. 4 in the best-of-7 set will be played Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Sign Language

Greencastle's head baseball coach Roger Newnum gives these different signs to his batters during Terre Haute South-Greencastle game played earlier in the season. The signs must have helped as the

Tiger Cubs fought back from a 4-0 deficit to defeat the Braves 8-5. This is Newnum’s first year as head baseball coach at Greencastle. (Banner-Graphic Photos)

The Knicks, ice-cold in their shooting in their first half, rallied in the second half to overcome the Lakers, who were hampered by the loss of highscoring Jerry West. West got only one point in the

third quarter. The Lakers’ 83 points was their lowest in their playoff history. Their previous low was 88 against the Boston Celtics in an 89-88 setback on April 29,1969. The game’s drama unfolded in the closing minutes when the

Lakers cut a New York lead of 10 points early in the fourth period to only two, 85-83, on Keith Erickson’s layup with 55 seconds remaining. The Lakers then regained the ball 19 seconds later when Reed was called for a traveling. Los Angeles called time out, then set up a play in which Erickson took a jumper from the left side. The ball bounded off the back rim and Reed recovered. The Knicks held on until Walt Frazier was fouled with two seconds to play. He sank both

free throws, sealing the victory. The Knicks took charge in the third quarter, outscoring Los Angeles 25-13, holding the Lakers to one basket in the final eight minutes of the period. New York forged ahead for good, 58-56, on a driving layup by Phil Jackson. Then Los Angeles’ Wilt Chamberlain incurred his fourth personal foul and was tagged with a technical foul as well after after waving his hand angrily and screaming at the referee. Bill Bradley converted the

free throw, Jackson followed with a basket and Reed added a jump shot, pushing the Knicks ahead 63-56. By the end of the quarter they were ahead 69-60 and, early in the fourth period, boosted the margin to 71-61 on a jumper by Monroe. Jim McMillian then tried to bring the Lakers back almost single-handedly, clicking for the Lakers’ next 10 points and whittling New York’s lead to 78-75 midway in the period. McMillian was the Lakers’ top scorer with 22 points.

It Waves

For All

A nine-run scoring spree by Craw fords ville’s baseball team in the bottom of the third inning gave the Athenians a 12-7 victory' over Greencastle’s errorridden ball club last Saturday afternoon at Crawfordsville. The Tiger Cubs had eight errors during the game with four of them coming in the third inning. Five base-on-balls also given up during the third inning and three hits put the Athenians out in front for good as the Cubs dropped their third game of the season. The Cubs managed to take a short-lived 5-2 lead over Crawfordsville after two and a half innings of play. But the Athenians took advantage of Cub errors and poor

pitching to score nine runs in the third inning and added one more in the sixth to overwhelm Greencastle. The Cubs’ final two runs of the game came in the seventh inning. The winning pitcher for the Athenians was Baldwinn who held the Cubs to only five hits. Rick Parrish was the losing pitcher for Greencastle. Greencastle baseball team is now 6-3 for the season. The Cubs’ next two games will be against Western Indiana Conference opponents Linton and Terre Haute Schulte. The Cubs will battle the Miners at home today and then travel to Terre Haute on Tuesday to clash with the Golden Bears. Today’s game will get underway at 4:15 while

DePauw and Evansville split an Indiana Collegiate Conference baseball doubleheader here Saturday. The Tigers took the opener 4-3 behind the four hit pitching of Tod Beynon. Evansville returned the favor in the nightcap, 6-4, as both teams pounded out 10 hits apiece, including four home runs. DePauw jumped off to a 40 lead in the opener in which Dennis DeNunzio collected two singles and a double in three trips to the plate. DeNunzio opened the first game with a double and scored on Larry Browning’s single. In the second inning Dom DeNunzio singled, went to second on a sacrifice and scored on twin brother Dennis’ single. That made it

2-0.

DePauw stretched the lead to 4-0 in the third. Gary Whitaker singled, took second on the shortstop’s error of Browning’s ground ball, stole third, and scored on a passed ball. Browning eventually scored on another

Evansville got a run on a error and a double in the fourth and then scored two more in the sixth, the last one crossing the plate while the Tigers were completing a rundow n at second. Mike Metzger greeted Tiger starter Reid Walker with a home run in the first inning and Evansville never trailed in the second game. The Aces added single runs in the third and fourth before DePauw got two in the bottom of the fourth. John Chin singled and Mike Dunn walked. Dom DeNunzio sacrificed them ahead and Walker scored both with a double. Evansville put three singles together for a two-run sixth.

Larry Pleau scored three goals and Tommy Webster contnbuted two more as the New England Whalers defeated the Winnipeg Jets 9-6 Sunday for the first World Hockey

Pleau crushed Winnipeg's last hopes by completing his hat trick with a pair of goals within two minutes after the

Jets had pulled to a thin 6-5. land’s lead to 6-2 by cashing another pass from Williams with the second period only 15 seconds old. Then the Jets be-

gan their comeback.

Beaudin scored his 13th playoff goal on a power play at 3:15 and Milt Black tallied at 4:02. Winnipeg’s Bob Woytowich cut the deficit to a single goal at 4:59 of the third period and the Whalers appeared to be

hanging on.

However Pleau tallied his 11th playoff goal at 5:44 and then connected again after a tremendous effort by Sheehy at 7:31, pulling the Whalers out of

danger.

Player-coach Bobby Hull of the Jets gambled, and lost, when he pulled goalie Joe Daley for a sixth skater and nearly 3!4 minutes remaining to

play.

The strategy backfired as New England’s Mike Byers slid a 120-foot shot into the open net. With the score 9-5, Daley returned to the net and Winnipeg’s Duke Asmundson completed the scoring, winding up the WHA’s first season. The Jets outshot the Whalers 42-27 but were stymied time and again by Smith’s goal tend-

ing.

Baldwin suggested the proceeds of such a playoff go to a mutually agreed upon charity.

Greencastle’s track team collected eleven individual victories while also capturing first place in the 880-yard relay to overwhelm Cascade’s cindermen in a dual meet held last Friday afternoon. Tiger Cubs Maurice McKee and Dave Sims were the meet’s only double-win-ners. McKee grabbed first place honors in the 100-yard dash and the low hurdles while teammate Sims won the pole vault and the high hurdles. Other winners for the Tiger Cubs last Friday were: Jerry Shonkwiler, 220yard dash; Kevin Pierce, long jump; Lon Schroeder, high jump; Steve Sanford, mile run; Ron Greenlee, 880yard run; Dave Phillips, 2mile run; and Mike DeVylder, discus. Doug Carter and Steve Hopper were Cascade’s only individual winners during the meet. Carter took first place in the shot put with a toss of 44’ while Hopper won the 440-yard dash with a time of 65.0. Greencastle’s record now stands at 4-3. The Tiger Cubs’ next meet will be this Tuesday in the Western Indiana Conference meet at West Vigo High School. The Cubs hope to finish in the top three of the eight conference teams but they will have

to contend with annual powerhouses Brazil, West Vigo, and defending WIC champ Terre Haute Schulte. The meet is scheduled to get underway at 3:00.

Pearson Easy Winner At Winston 500

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — David Pearson rode a Mercury to an easy victory in the Winston 500 mile stock car race Sunday after a frightening, high-speed crash eliminated three of his chief rivals and 15 of the original 60 starters. Pearson, 38, a cool-headed veteran of 15 years as a pro, managed to work his way through the wreckage left from the ISO miles per hour pileup and came home a full lap ahead of Chevrolet-driving Donnie Allison on the 2.66-mile Alabama International Speedway. Third place went to Benny Parsons, fourth to Clarence

Lovell, and fifth to Cecil Gordon, all in Chevrolets. It was Pearsons’s fifth straight triumph, four of them at 500 miles, and he won $26,095 from the $ 160,000 purse. His elapsed time for the race was 3 hours, 47 minutes and 23 seconds. The average speed was 131.956 m.p.h. despite four slowdowns that consumed 53 laps. The massive crash involving 19 cars occurred on the 10th of the scheduled 188 laps around the steeply-banked speedway, acclaimed as the fastest racing plant ever built.
