HORATIO AT THE... Goalie Johnny Bower changes quietly in the Tor- onto Maple Leaf dressing room last night, while his teammates sing his praises. Bower held off the Montreal' Canadiens for two periods while the Leafs were hope- lessly disorganized. Leaf Coach "'Punch" Imlach said there "wasn't a word in the dictionary" to describe Bow- er's performance. --(CP Wirephoto) Bower Dampens Habs, Leafs Even Up Series By IAN MacLAINE | TORONTO (CP)--An ageless|brought their total in the four netminder and a frustrated|games to 10, seven of which hockey team were the story of Thursday night's Stanley Cup semi-final game as Toronto Ma- ple Leafs overcame a two-goal deficit to stop Montreal Cana- diens 4-2 and even their best- of-seven series at two games each.

Their som- bre faces were ample proof that they had been humiliated by an old man. With a 2-1 lead, the Canadi- ens appeared to be content to sit back and wait for the breaks, The breaks came, but Bower wasn't to be beaten and the Montreal team ran out of legs to carry them with the rejuven- ated Toronto club. Ellis' goal that tied the score 2-2 at 3:16 of the last period was probably the turning point in an otherwise Montreal-domi- nated game. ALMOST LOSES IT The crewcut, 175-pounder took By JERRY GLADMAN CHICAGO (CP) -- Elmer (Moose) Vasko took a page from Bill Gadsby's book Thurs- day night and helped Chicago Black Hawks even their best- of-seven Stanley Cup semi-final series with Detroit Red Wings at two games apiece. Vasko, a nine-year veteran, played what he termed 'my best. game of the series" as the fore a crowd of over 19,000. One _ might during his 19 years in the Na- tional Hockey League has often been called a second goal- tender. Although Glenn Hall was spectacular in. goal for the Hawks, the 29-year-old Vasko gave him as much coverage as any netminder could ask for. The 210-pound giant was all over the ice, handing out bone- crushing checks, carrying the puck out of danger and time and again getting down in front of the Chicago goal to smother hard drivers from the point. * "T was blocking shots, break- ing up plays," he said, "and all the time I was having a hard time staying on my feet on the) worst ice yet." | | He said the ice was "'terrible, Hawks shaded Detroit 2-1 be-jhis 30th in 49 playoff games. have thought/game and might have had more a | ; ; ; Vasko had been taking instruc-|goals except for Detroit net- bel said the turning point in tion from Detroit's Gadsby, who|minder Roger Crozier..

When Billy Reay was asked to comment on Detroit's home ice advantage, the final three games, the dapper Chicago coach just shrugged his shoul- ders resignedly: "We're going to give it all we got," The clubs battled to a 1-1 deadlock in the first period. Maki and Howe both scored power-play goals. They went scoreless through the second as the pace slowed.
