Expansion Scouts still floundering; Whalers enjoying road trip

Pumped by Black Hawks

By The Associated Press The expansion Kansas City Scouts continue to play expansion hockey. The Chicago Black Hawks

pumped in six first-period goals against the Scouts Wednesday night and coasted to a 7-3 National Hockey League triumph.

It Was Kansas City’s fifth straight loss and dropped their season’s slate to 4-19-1. The only club with a worse record is the Washington Capitals — the league’s other expansion entry. “We came back to life in the second period, but in the first period they looked like they didn’t know what was going

on,” admitted Kansas City Coach Bep Guidolin. “I let them know in no uncertain terms after the first period that I Was still In charge and and that when we have a game plan I expect them to follow it.” The Scouts responded with three quick goals in the Second stan2a but that was it. Elsewhere in the NHL, the New York Rangers beat Detroit 4-2, California defeated Atlanta 3-1, Boston skated to a 4-4 tie with Montreal, Pittsburgh dumped Toronto 4-2 and Los Angeles topped Minnesota 4-1.

Keel-haul Crusaders

By The Associated Press The New England Whalers, the World Hockey Association’s wayfaring strangers, continue to make themselves at home wherever they go. TTie Whalers played their 12th consecutive road game Wednesday night and, despite the absence of several key players with injuries, managed a 3-2 decision over the Cleveland Crusaders. “This is a game we didn’t figure to win,” admitted New England Coach Ron Ryan. “Tomorrow night we play our 13th Straight road game and we’re missing most of our starting players. “We’ve got half a club here

and half a club back home.” In other WHA action, Houston shaded Winnipeg 3-2, San Diego blanked Phoenix 2-0, Minnesota downed Quebec 6-3 and Edmonton topped Vancouver 6-3. Among the New England players sidelined with assorted injuries are top goalie A1 Smith, top goal scorer Tom Webster and top point getter John French. Among the healthy players are Wayne Carlton, Jom Dorey and Mike Byers — and all three scored against Cleveland. Carlton and Dorey connected in the first period and, after Cleveland's Russ Walker cut the margin to 2-1, Byers scored late in the second to ice it for

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)-The World Hockey Association and an Ohio architect were “tightening nuts and bolts” today on transfer of the Indiana Racers franchise. “I would say it’s 99.44 per cent wired,” Paul Deneau of Dayton,Ohio, said. “I don’t see any obstacles that could stop it. There are just a whole bunch of little nuts and bolts that have to be tightened, as there always are in things like this.” Deneau, 46, said, “I have absolutely no intention of taking the club elsewhere now or in the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t have got involved if it had been otherwise.” He termed Indianapolis “a great hockey town. The support here has been fantastic considering all that has happened.” No details of the purchase were made public. However, the Indianapolis Star reported that Indianapolis Professional Sports agreed at a board meeting Wednesday to return the club to the league in exchange for getting out from under $850,000 in debts. It said Deneau would assume the debts plus $1.2 million remaining to be paid to the

WHA for the franchise. The WHA has, in effect, been operating the Racers since Sunday night when administrative vice president James W. Browitt arrived. He negotiated with Deneau, who said whether Browitt will stay as Racer president “is one of the things that remains to be worked out. But there probably will be some personnel changes.” He added it was “too early to speculate” on the future of Coach Gerry Moore. Deneau was a major owner of the WHA Houston Aeros when they began in 1971. He sold most of his stock but maintains a small interest in the club. He is a minor holder in the Dayton Gems of the International Hockey League. Meanwhile, Claience Campbell, president of the National Hockey League, said in Pittsburgh he doesn’t expect the WHA “to be with us very long.” “The WHA is in financial trouble and just can’t continue to operate,” he said. Campbell also said some NHL clubs are experiencing financial difficulties because of the high salaries.

the Whalers. Ron Ward got the other Crusader goal midway through the final stanza. Reserve goalie Chris Abrahamsson stopped 42 Cleveland shots as New England upped its record to 15-7. The Whalers lead second-place Cleveland by 11 points in the East Division. Aeros 3, Jets 2 Gordie Howe stole the puck and scored the decisive goal midway through the final period for Houston. Andre Hinse got the first two Aero goals. Mariners 2, Roadrunners 0 San Diego goalie Joe Junkin stopped 27 shots to post his first shutout of the season. Ken Block and Ray Adduono got the goals for the Mariners who managed only 12 shots on net all night. Fighting Saints 6, Nordiques 3 First-period goals by Mike Walton, Danny O’Shea and Fran Huck powered Minnesota to Victory. The Saints outshot Quebec 35-24. Oilers 6, Blazers 3 Eddie Joyal scored twice, once on a penalty shot, for Edmonton/Doug Barrie, A1 Hamilton. Ross Perkins and Bobby Sheehan got the other Oiler goals.
