bate hp Jl HJULIL BoFton Sunday Globe Mey 10, 1910 rains aiming to end 29-year drou gilt today By Tom Fitzgerald Globe Staff The Bruins have developed some fresh motivation for what they firmly intend to be the concluding game of their Stanley Cup final series against the St. Louis Blues in the Garden this afternoon Very largely, the positive attitude of the Boston hockey players is inherent in their situation. They need only to gain this last victory for a four straight sweep and the delivery of hockey's greatest trophy to Boston after a long wait of 29 years. Individually, the Bruins have their own way of expressing all of this, but Phil Esposito probably put it as succinctly as any following a light workout yesterday. "There is no way," Phil said, "that we intend to go back to St Louis." presentation sometime after 4:30 this afternoon.

The Boston team does not have an individual captain, and Coach Harry Sinden said yesterday that the club woull be represented in the ceremony with NHL Pres. Clarence Campbell by the four co-captains. They are Johnny Bucyk Eddie Westf all, Phil Esposito and Ted Green, who was out of action this season "because of the head in- jux-y sustained in an exhibition against St. Louis at Ottawa in September. That climax should be a very emotJonal scene, as you might learn from the relatively small number of witnesses of Bruins' last triumph in 1941 who will be on hand again today.

Among those with the sharpest memories as the only direct links with that last championship team are general manager Milt Schmidt, and Weston W. Adams the chairman of the board, and TV sportscaster Cooney Wei-land, the Bruins coach in '41. Aside from the club itself, the community is very much involved. Mayor Kevin White has planned a parade and civic reception for the Bruins at some still unspecified time tomorrow. All these goodies would have to be postponed, of course, if the Blues af There is also the consideration that there could be an embarrassing, though temporary, disruption of a good deal of planning if the Blues should achieve a minor miracle with their first victory in a Cup final after 11 successive defeats by Montreal and Boston over a three-year sequence.

Although they haven't made a big thing about it, the Bruins already have worked out preparations for the traditional Cup fected a socking turnabout, generated out of desperation or deeply stung pride. The prospects of thu Blues winning the Cup in four possible remaining games is just about as remote as anything you could imagine. The only team to accomplish this remarkable feat was Toronto in 1942, and the Leafs of that time had a roster including the likes of Syl Apps, Bob Goldham, Gordie Drillon and Turk Broda. The Bruins, of course, do not intend or even contemplate that any such thing will come to pass. They are operating on the reverse of the bromide about there being no tomorrow.

One of their incentives surprisingly was provided by the Blues' coach, Scotty Bowman, at least in the BRUINS, Page 91 HAROLD KAESE for Tony CV homer win ox9 5 Fans on verge Yaz hits pair; Siehert stops A9s on 5-hitter By Clif Keane, Globe Staff of delirium We learned how to perform when a team wins a pennant in 1967 and the Celtics surely gave us enough practice in celebrating basketball championships, but how should we act when the Bruins clinch the Stanley Cup? When the Mets clinched the pennant and later won the World Series their fans tried to demolish Shea Stadium. A groundskeeper looking around after the emotional tornado had spent itself, said, "It usually takes us four hours to clean up. This is going to take four days." Let us have none of that today. Loudness, yes; roughness, no. North Station is in no condition for rough stuff.

If the joint were swept up and prop 2. EDDIE SHORE OAKLAND The Red Sox zippered their defense and defeated the A's yesterday, 5-3. More important, Tony Conigliaro hit a winning two-run homer in the ninth inning and it probably saved the elder Conigliaro from being dumped from the clean-up spot and possibly from the lineup. Conigliaro has the faculty of being exhumed. He has had enough troubles for any three ball players, and lately Tony has been very weak at the bat.

He had left three men on base in the seventh, hadn't hit a ball solidly in several games. But the one off Diego Segui carried almost into the next town. The win went to Sonny Siebert, his third in a row. He went the route, giving up five hits, three of them homers for the A's runs. Only last week Siebert had been in a brawl with these A's and had to leave the ball game.

Carl Yastrzemski is another guy who deserves credit for the Red Sox finally breaking their losing streak of three straight games. Carl streaked a pair of homers off righthander Jim (Catfish) Hunter. On the first pitch Hunter threw Carl in the fourth inning, the outfielder drilled a home run into the seats in left centerfield. On the next pitch Hunter threw the star outfielder, leading off the sixth, Yastrzemski hit it deep into the seats in rightfield. These were his sixth and seventh homers.

The one to rightfield was his first in that area all year. And the A's gave the Red Sox a run while committing four errors. The Red Sox, looking woefully weak defensively lately, must have passed the slop serum to the players here. RED SOX.

Unable to find the noisemakers from my last New Year's Eve Party (Dec 31, 1919), I think I shall confine myself; to yelling, clapping hands, kissing my neighbors and giving standing ovations. If they want a standing ovation for Johnny Mc-Kenzie.

OK. If they want one for Dallas Smith. OK. If they want for John Kiley. OK.

How, do you tear up the ice? Mets fans tore up the sod of the infield and part of the outfield, too for souvenirs. A good many lawns in Long Island, Flushing and Queens now have patches which serve as a climax for owners when they take their guests on a tour of the premises: "This is a huckleberry bush from Mark Twain's town. Here is a cherry tree from George Washington's boyhood farm. And this little patch of green is from Shea Stadium, where the Mets did you know what." So the Mets fans tore up the turf. But how do we tear up the ice when the Bruins win the Stanley Cup? Do they have any mini-portable refrigerators in which chunks of ice on which Robert Ofr, Phil Esposito, Donald Aurey and Gerald Cheevers skated while winning the Stanley Cup could be preserved? If not, then some ice scrapings melted and sealed in a small plastic vial might serve the purpose.

Five years from now a couple of ounces of today's Stanley Cup ice in fluid form might be worth 10 times as much as a couple of of the more fragrant L'heure Bleu. Bruins players say they have had trouble getting up for these games with the St. Louis Blues. The opposition is doing the best it can, but it simply is not good Harvard heavies take Eastern Sprints with the fastest time ever. The boat looked as though it had wings especially during the final 300 meters when it left little doubt as to which crew was to be the winner It was a repeat performance from last year.

Penn had beaten Harvard during regular season By Bob Monahan Globe Staff WORCESTER Harvard's varsity heavyweight crew displayed its magic once again yesterday as it defeated Penn in the heavyweight varsity final by half a length in 25th annual Eastern Sprints competition at Lake Quinsigamond. The Crimson, almost flying with a stiff tail wind under very heavy, dark clouds, registered an impressive time of 5:54.1 best time of the day. Penn, which defeated Harvard by a length last Sunday, was timed in 5:55.9. Following were: Princeton (5.59); Dartmouth Cornell ing the rigging made that much difference," said the elated Parker. "We just did it to make the boat go straighter.

I'd just say that we rowed much harder and stroked a perfect race. That's all there is to it. It was a perfect race." First Harvard crew member to display emo (6.01.3) and Br own (6.02.6). It was the seventh straight year that Harvard won the heavyweight portion of the sprints. And Coach Harry Parker had a big hand in it again.

The who hates to lose and knows how to adjust, had his boat re-rigged from German to standard rigging Friday night. That may or may not have been the difference, but who can tell. The Crimson boat also set a sprints record row sweet is was for the Harvard fans. Penn and Harvard in what figured to be a two boat fight, were even the first 1000 meters. Penn, rowing high at 33, pulled ahead at 1500 me-'2rs while Harvard stayed at a steady, but strong 36.

Then it happened. Penn upped its margin to a very high 46 Almost too high. Harvard upped its beat to 40 and just pulled ahead and ahead. That was it Maybe Penn panicked a bit. CREW, Page 86 competition.

Then Harvard bombed back and beat Penn in the sprints. Indeed history repeated itself much to the delight of a partisan crowd of about 15,000. "I don't know if chang tion over the win was Crimson coxswain Tom Tiffany. As soon as Harvard crossed the finish line he stood up in the shell and yelled.

"We decry the killing of fellow students at Kent State University as a national tragedy and a focus of shame. We decry the growing intolerance which permits some to accept those sacrifices as necessary or justified. "We further deplore the growing tolerance for pressure directed against political and racial minorities, such as the Black Panther Party and people of radi-cal disposition in general."

Following the withdrawal of Army and Navy, Harvard won its second straight outdoor Heptago-nal Track Championship, out pointing Pennsylvania, 76-65. One hour before the meet the two military academies dramatically pulled out of the Hep rather than support a statement composed by the captains of the Ivy League schools denouncing the war in Southeast Asia and the illings of four Kent State students.

enough. The fans know it, too. The crowd Thursday night was pretty blase as the Bruins won, 4-1, It may be very relaxed going into the game today, but when it is over and won (gad zooks if it's any-. thing else), the exultation may be unbonded, for 29 years has been a long time to wait. There need be no rein this side of sanity on emotional to a team that has done it all in capital letters.

This will be only the second Stanley Cup clinched on Boston ice. When the Bruins first clinched in 1929 it was in New York. When they clinched in 1941, it was in Detroit. 'Scenes almost beggar description' Thus, there can be only a few of us left who were in the Garden when the Bruins previously copped the Cup in 1939, when they beat the Maple Leafs in five games. It was a Sunday night, April 16.

The paid crowd was 16,891, but others were there. The late Vic Jones began his first sentence: "After 10 long years of waiting" and ended it: "before more than 17,000 hysterical fans in the Garden." He wrote: "The scenes following the sounding of the final bell almost beggar description." Conn Smythe, Leafs coach, hopped over the dasher and ran across the ice to congratulate Art Ross. Firecrackers exploded, endangering the eyes of innocents. The band (yes, band) played Paree. The players didn't know exactly what to do.

They'd had no TV schooling. They went to the dressing room after the Cup presentation by Pres. Frank Calder. But the fans stayed and cheered them back. Eddie Shore stayed in the dressing room until the roar outside became a thunder: "We want Shore.

We want Shore." Then the great man conceded, left the room clomping on his skates and brought bis thinning hair, sloped shoulders and scarred face to his worshippers for his last and most tumultuous ovation as a Bruins player. i That was how Boston welcojsjd the Cup in 1933.
