Orr had a large-sized man to helR usher him through the crowd, but no uniformed police man to ease the way. ORR, Page 37 4 By Tom Fitzgerald Globe Staff It started as a day of continuing triumph for Bobby Orr, but the young Bruins hero had to survive some hours of ordeal before making his shaken way home to Lynnfield. A little after noon Bobby was summoned to the Garden Club. He reported in smiling and sartorially elegant in a new white suit which will be a feature of his Summer wardrobe. In the Garden Club, before a group of people all familiar to him, Orr was informed by Don Ruck, a vice president of the National Hockey League, that he had been selected as winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the Stanley.

Cup playoffs. Bobby had lots of poise during this small ceremony, although he was typically self-effacing and brief in his response. "I'm really happy," he said, smiling to prove it. "But there are 19 or 20 guys sharing it with me. We have a helluva team and we just hope to do it again next year." The Smythe trophy is awarded on a vote of the league's governors, and the Bruins board chairman, Weston W.

Adams had a word on "To tell you the truth, Bobby," he said, "I voted for your father." With the acquisition of the Smythe Trophy, Orr became the first man ever to win four individual awards in one year. Previously, he received the Art Ross Trophy as the leading scorer with 120 points, which was a record for a defenseman; the Hart Trophy as the league's most valuable player; and the Norris Trophy as the outstanding defenseman, the latter for the third straight year. jt 'Wit fi i I cwl cr BOBBY ORR IN THE MIDDLE Bruins players by the city.

No matter the Bruins played so strongly that St. Louis may not have won. But it would have been closer." And do you think the voting for the Conn Smythe (MVP) in the playoffs was close? Bobby Orr won it, but there was plenty of support for Bucyk, Esposito and Cheevers. The St. Louis players chose Bucyk, but were quick to add: "Give us Orr and we win." Bowman named Cheevers.

Look at some of the playoff records the Bruins set: Phil Esposito, most goals (13) -and most points (27). Bobby Orr, most goals by a defenseman (9) and most points by a defenseman (20). Gerry Cheevers, 10 consecutive Stanley Cup playoff victories in one season. The series also produced the unorthodox strategy against Bobby Orr, and some great one-liners; Scotty' Bowman of St. Louis after the first game: "That was not a 6-1 game," meaning it was closer.

Harry Sinden after the second game: "That was not a 6-2 game," meaning it wasn't that close. Sinden after the third game: "I was worried about two men, Hall and Ashley. Hall hurt us more." And Phil Esposito, telling his teammates after the fourth game: "tu sei bello," which means, you're beautiful which they are. dangerous Fregosi at RED SOX, Page 34 Paduano decisions Cerdan At first glance it seems that the Buffalo Braves came out with the best team, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Portland Trailblazers appear to be the weakest of the three.

The Celtics raised a few eyebrows, surrendering Larry Siegfried, Bailey Howell and Emette Bryant. "It never dawned on me that I would go in expansion," said Sig-gy, and it's a safe bet it never occurred to his legion of fans, either.

The cut bled freely, as did Paduano's nose from the first round on.

United Press International NEW YORK Donato Paduano of Canada ruined Marcel Cerdan American debut by winning a bloody 10-round decision at Madison Square Garden last night. Cerdan, son of the late world middleweight Yes, mostly because it snatched a tie from defeat. And the marvelous decade of basketball the Celtics gave us? Yes, probably because we all became rather nonchalant about the Celtics and championships. There is one common thread in all those great triumphs, the greatness of one, or two or three players. Has there ever been a greater season for a pro athlete than the one Carl Yastrzemski had in 1967? And what about Frank Champi leading Harvard's football team to that tie? The Celtics? Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, Tommy Heinsohn, Bill Sharman, Frank Ramsey and the Jones' men.

Now the Bruins with Bobby Orr did you know he had at least one point in each of 14 playoff games? and with Johnny Bucyk and Phil Esposito and Fred Stanfield and the rest. The point is great teams are made up of great players, great moments are made by a single great player. When was the Bruins' pattern for the final playoff series established? What were the key plays? The first key play was in the second period of the first game in St. Louis when goalie Jacques Plante suffered a concussion. St.

Louis now had to replace, him with Ernie Wakely, who was dressed as the alternate goalie and had to page veteran Glenn Hall to put on his uniform. The Bruins then fired five goals past Wakely. Now came the next key move the second game at St. Louis with Wakely starting in the nets. The Bruins, Phil Esposito, Eddie Johnston, et al, are still shaking their heads about that.

"In the playoffs you have to have an experienced goalie," was their consensus. So the Bruins put six goals past Wakely. Just as he gave Wayne Carleton the short side on the third goal in the first game, so did Wakely give Westfall the short side for another important goal in the second game. He began his rally in the fourth round, jabbingj sharply to the mouth and crossing right over Cerd- an's low guard, a blowl which Jake Lamotta, the' man who beat Cerdan for the world title, had-noted in training. -i From the seventh through the 10th it waf all Paduano, who crossecf right after right to Cerd- an's head and whose finaf right, as the last be1jj sounded, almost floored; Cerdan.
