Bonin, Lumley
Shine as Cup
Playoffs Start
to the Associated Press
Maurice (Rocket) Richard's
gloves and the grit and deter
mination of 33-year-old Goalie
Harry Lumley were the stories
behind victories by Montreal
and the Bruins in last night’s
opening play in the Stanley
Cup hockey playoffs.
Marcel Bonin, wearing Rich
ard’s gloves, sparked the
Cangdiena to a 4-2 victory over
Chicago and Lumley held
Toronto at bay in Boston’s
6-1 victory. Both were opening
games in, the best-of-seven
semifinal series.
Richard, out’for the last two
months with a fracture,
watched the Canadians from
the sidelines. He is expected
to rejoin the team next week.
Defenses Are Strong
Bonin’s two goals broke open
a 2-1 contest in which Mont
real never trailed after Claude j
Provost’s opening period goal. (
Goalie Jacques Plante, back la ]
action after missing the sea- ,
son’s last three games because ,
of a neck infection, got magnl- ,
fleent support from his defense. ,
finding it necessary to make ,
only 13 saves. Chicago Ooalle ,
Glenn Hall rang up 42. Tod
Sloan scored both the Hawks’ .
goals.
Canadlen Phil Ooyette is a
doubtful starter for tomor
row night’s game. He needed
six stitches to close a deep 1
cut near the Achilles tendon of
his left foot after a play dur- 1
tag the third period.
Lumley had 32 saves in 1
thwarting Toronto’s Cinderella 1
hopes of continuing their vic
tory sweep. The Leafs won a I
playoff berth with five straight 1
victories in their final games to I
beat out New York by one i
point. (
Made Difficult Save (
“You couldn’t have gotten i
the puck by the big guy even <
if you had a gun.” Toronto i
Coach Punch Imlach said after- |
ward. ;
Everyone Agreed that Lum- |
ley's save on Frank Mahov
itch’s shot that he had to scis- j
sor between his legs was the ,
turning point. It came in the (
second period with the Bruins (
holding a 2-1 edge on goals by ,
Jerry Toppastani and Leo La
bine.
“They’re (Toronto) back in
the game if they got that one.”
Boston Coach Milt Schmidt
said later.
Bruins Vic Stasiuk and Larry (
Leach then went out and 1
scored before the period was
over and Don McKenney added 1
one in the final period.
Gerry Ehman scored for To- 1
ronto for a 1-1 tie early in the I
middle period. * ■

SMALLER BASKET
PROPOSED BY IBA
If basketball sharpshoot
ers continue to improve,
the Rules Committee may
have to shrink the slse of
the basket.
That’s the opinion of ,
Hank Iba, coach at Okie- .
homa State for the last
25 years. He says he has
noted marked Improvement
in acccuracy during recent ,
years. He credits a general
desire to improve as the
reason for the increased
proficiency.
"The players work hard
on their shots,” Iba said.
"And almost every player
seems to have a special
shot he seldom misses.
"If the players continue
to Improve, in another 10
years it may be almost an
• accident when someone i
misses.”

Bashed Footwork Causes
Trouble
Bowling and golf have many
fundamentals in common. One
of the most Important is the
necessity of good footwork for
a successful delivery or swing.
And so many average bowlers
and golfers concentrate almost
completely on armswtag in
stead of giving equal attention
to footwork.
The common tendency in
bowling Is to rush footwork in
trying to deliver the ball quick
ly, with plenty of speed. We
illustrate what often happens
from such rushing. The foot
work gets out ahead of the
armswing, and the ball is drop
ped on the approach instead of
lifted by the arm out and over
the foul line.
The solution to offset too fast
footwork is to practice walking
through your approach without
the ball, to co-ordinate the
movement of your feet with the
correct movement of your arms.
Other possible reasons for
dropping the ball are improper
fit or slippery fingers. If you
drop the ball often, let your in
structor check your grip. You
may have been fitted bsdly or
you may have outgrown your
present grip.
Use a towel or air blower to
keep your bowling hand and
fingers dry. Perspiration is
oily and can cause your grip to
slip. Running your hand
through your hair also puts oil
on the fingers.
If dropping the ball is a fre
quent habit, check the possible
reasons. You may find that an
uncomfortable stance got you
off "on the wrong foot” to start
with. Any number of things'
Why not review the whole pro
cedure. And check it with the

Ball Park Plan
Is Under Fire
In Cincinnati
CINCINNATI, Mar. 28 (AP).
—City officials have little good
to say about a private group's
proposal for a new 68 million
major league stadium near the
railroad yards.
The group, called Stadium
Development Committee, pro
posed a 40,000-seat arena on a
plaza that runs up to Union
feallroad Terminal.
Cornelius Hauck, president
of the city park board which
owns most of the land, said it
couldn’t and wouldn’t part
with it.
Officials of the Cincinnati
Reds said they like the idea.
Oabe Paul, general manager.!
said last night: “Mr. Crosley
(Owner Powell Crosley) has
said many times he would be
willing to enter into a long
term lease if a new stadium
was built here. Os course, there
would have to be some rental
agreement arrived at. You as
sume it would be reasonable.”
The city already has started
spending $2 million for a park
ing lot around the present ball
park, Crosley Field, owned by
the team.
The agreement was made, on
promise last year by team offi-;
cials the Reds would stay here
at least five years. A Redleg'
shift to New York was rumored >
at the time.
Hauck said: “The park board
can’t turn over public property i
to a private-profit organization
—and this is what we would be
doing.
“Besides, we need green space
in the core of the city. It’s:
getting so the only green in
the downtown area is in the
traffic lights.
Joseph Decoursey, Jr., chair
man of the City Council’s Plan
ning Committee, also vetoed the
idea. He thinks the Reds will
stay in Cincinnati as long as
adequate parking is available
near Crosley Field.
“I can’t visualize Mr. Crosley |
wanting to sell Crosley Field
and then move a few bloc'rs
south to rent space in a new,
stadium.” he said. >
