Fifty - one goals whizzed by seven netminders in six games. Seventy - six assists also were credited for 127 scoring points. Jacques Plante, 32, turned in two masterful performances as Montreal Canadiens won twice and fattened their lead atop the standings to four points. At Boston Christmas night, he * stopped 35 shots -- 17 in the second period -- and Canadiens beat the last - place Bruins 5-2. "He also had 35 saves -- 27 in the first 40 minutes -- Satur- day when the Habs whipped De- troit Red Wings 6-1 at Montreal. In other Christmas night games, New York Rangers, paced by player - coach Doug .Harvey's two goals, beat the Red Wings 6-4 at Detroit and) -Toronto Maple Leafs and Chi- »eago Black Hawks tied 3-3 at Chicago. The Rangers blasted the visit- ing Black Hawks 7-3 Saturday night as Camille Henry scored three goals and picked up two assists. And the Bruins pulled "one of the season's major up- )Leafs 7-4. It was Toronto's first /home - ice loss in 20 games. The streak included 13 games this year and the final six re- lgular season games in 1960-61. [ROOKIE BEATS PLANTE | At Boston, Plante was beaten lby rookie Cliff Pennington in |the opening period and: defence- |man Leo Boivin in the final) minute. | Defenceman J: C.

Provost's goal was his 20th of the season -- tops in the NHL. Canadiens won at Boston with- out injured right winger Bernie Geoffrion and centre Henri Ri- chard. Left winger Dickie Moore also was nursing an in- jury although he dressed. Geoffrion hurt his left knee early in the first period of Sat- urday's game against Detroit. Richard and Moore both were injured last Thursday against Chicago. At Detroit, Harvey scored his second tally during a four-goal outburst within a one minute and 31 second span during the last period. It turned out to be the game winner. Rangers got three of those quick goals and Detroit one. ALEX SCORES TWICE | Defencemen Harry Howell and Larry Cahan also scored for the Rangers along with for- wards Pat Hannigan and Henry. Alex Delvecchio scored twice ifor the Red Wings. Vic Stasiuk jand Bill Gadsby each netted one while Gordie Howe drew three assists. Alternate goalie Hank Bassen was in the nets for the Red |Wings. He replaced Terry Saw- |chuk who injured his hand dur- jing a pre - game warmup. | Left winger Bobby Hull pulled the Black Hawks into a tie with the Maple Leafs at Chicago. |Hull scored with less than six jminutes remaining in the game. | Other Chicago goals were by jAb McDonald and Murray Bal- \four. Centre Bill Hay assisted on all three Chicago goals. Red Kelly got the 200th goal of his NHL career for the |Leafs. It came off a first pe- riod power play. Defenceman Tim Horton and winger Dick Duff got the other Toronto goals. It was the first Christmas '0'S RON STEWART (12) night game at Chicago since 1926 and it drew a crowd of 10,201.

They put.on a similar per- formance Sunday, aided by the outstanding play of Houston fullback Charley Tolar, Bill Gro- man and Charlie Hennigan, the league's leading pass receiver. After a hectic but scoreless first quarter, the Oilers got a break when San Diego punter Paul Maguire made a leaping catch of a snap from centre and got off a wobbly kick that came to rest only nine yards away on the Chargers' 39.

Aussies Need One More Win For Davis Cup MELBOURNE (AP) Mighty Australia, with Roy Em- erson and Rod Laver playing brilliantly despite scorching weather, today moved to within one victory of its 100th Davis Cup tennis championship in 12 years by crushing Italy in sin- gles matches. Emerson, who usually concen- trates on doubles, defeated Ital- ian ace Nicola Pietrangeli 8-,6 6-4, 6-0 and Laver, 1961 Wimble- don titlist, routed Orlando Sirola 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 in the open- ing singles of the challenge round at Kooyong Stadium. A doubles triumph Wednesday would close out the champion- ship for the Australians, who faced up to an "Italian draw" with a sure formula of success unbeatable tennis. The luck of the draw, pitting Pietrangeli against E m er son, was expected to help the under- dot Italians. They counted on temperamental Nicola beating Emerson in the opening match and perhaps driving Sirola to a top performance against Laver. But Pietrangeli, after taking a 5-3 lead in the first set, seemed to wilt in a blazing sun that beat down on the players and the crowd of about 12,000. Emerson, who got his 'chance in the singles when veteran Neale Fraser-was slow recover- ing his from after suffering a knee injury, fought off two set points, won the set and had things his own way after that. Then Laver, No. 1 amateur in the world, made quick work of Sirola. Harry Hopman, Australian team captain, said he will pair Fraser with Emerson in the doubles, resting Laver for the singles Thursday if the series re- mains undecided. Vanni Canepele, Italian team captain, said he will stick with Pietrangeli and Sirola in the doubles and hope for cooler weather. While the official temperature approached 90 degrees, it was probably more than 100 on the courts. Abcut 100 spectators fainted in the heat and all the players seemed affected by it, especially Pietrangeli, who said as he left the court: "The heat and flies worried) me -- and so did Emerson's service." BASKETBALL SCORES National Association SATURDAY New York 111 Boston 122 Whitby Mohawks Have Big 3-Point Weekend | By GERRY BLAIR Whitby Mohawks, with three big points out of a_ possibile -our, on the weekend, present- ed themselves with a fine Christmas bonus, Saturday night in Whitby, Mchawks overcame 2-0, 3-1 and 4-3 deficits for a final 5-4 vic- tory over the league - leading St. Michael's College Majors. Sunday afternoon in Maple Leaf Gardens, Mohawks gave their most impressive perform- ance on the larger Toronto ice surface to-date in Metro Junior "A" league play, holding Toron- to Marlboros to a 1-1 deadlock. Whitby have not lost in their last four outings--three against the two highly - rated St. Michael's and Marlboro hockey clubs. SATURDAY NIGHT Nohawks, badly outplayed in the first period, came back strongly in the final two periods for their close decision over the Irish, Whitby trailed 3-1 late in the second period, but Elmer Tran and Brian Fletcher scored to even the count four minutes before the end of frame. St. Michael's moved out in fron for the third time in the gaiue, early in the final 20 min- utes" but Bill Collins notched the tying marker midway through the period, then the re- liable -red-head, Elmer Tran scored the winner two minutes later. Bill Collins, who was a stand- out for the Mohawks, was in: strumental in supplying Tran' with the pass which led to the gaine-winning tally, much to the -- of a splendid crowd of £1.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON A goaltending duel between Marhes' Dave Dryden and Whitby's Bob Perani highlight- ed Sunday's 1-1 tie in the finale of a regular doubleheader at Map.e Leaf Gardens. Mohawks ran into trouble right from the opening whistle, drawing three successive penal- ties which left them shorthand- ed for 14 minutes because of the straight-time periods on Sundays. Marlboros scored their only goal during this span, when Nick Harbaruk _ tallied with the Mohawks two men short. A when the Whitby club regain- ed full strength, this time Marl- boros drew a pair of minor offences back-to-back, and Bill Smith backhanded one past Dryden after taking a perfect corner pass-out from Elmer Tran. The defensive units of both cluts stole the limelight in the second period as the clubs battled scoreless. In the final session, Mohawks outplayed Marlboros by a con- siderable margin but couldn't eope with the antics of Dryden, who thwarted three two-on-one breaks by the Mohawks. Whit- by outshot Marlboros 14-7 in the last frame, and 24-23 on the afternoon.

POPULAR SUCCESS Major League Bowlers Hold First Mixed Doubles Event With 20 bowlers from the Men's Major League and 20 bowlers from the Ladies' Major competing in the First Annual Mixed Doubles Tourney, it was a most success ful event at Motor City Lanes on Saturday. A full turnout of the entrants contributed much to the success of this tournament, which was being held for the first time in Oshawa. With each lady bowler drawing her partner, the result of the draw was popular with all the participants. The first game saw Mavis Taylor and Dave Reynolds take the lead with a 499 score with Hank Sarnovsky and Alice Northey in close pursuit, with 468, then Ev Campbell and Ron Jay with 404. Reg Hickey racked up a nice 329 first game which put just a little too much pressure on his partner, Mabel Moss, who seem- ed to be in trouble. A highlight of the second game was turned in by Sarnovsky with a 336 coupled with a nice 284 by his partner, Alice Northey, for a dandy 624, to give them the lead. Mavis Taylor and partner Dave Reynolds also had a score with 274 for Mavis and 280 for Dave, and this 554 kept them within striking distance of the leaders. Ev Campbell and Ron Jay ran into a little trouble and fell just a little behind the pace in the second game, with too nolds took the third prize with a total of 1,459. With a few breaks this couple could have been much closer. Bea Ross and Ozzie Keeler, considered as favorites when the draw was made, got off to a bad start but came back very stron, to finish in fourth place many head pins doing the dam- 1,457 age. GOOD PARTNERS It was a most exciting. finish in the third game, when Hank Sarnovsky ran into some rough stuff but partner Alice Northey pulled in the slack just enough to save the day. Hank had a 203 and Alice finished with a dandy 287 to.give them a 1,578 total, which was enough to take the title. Ev Campbell and partner Ron Jay staged a grandstand finish to take over second position, when Ron came through with a 356 game, which also gave him the prize for the high single Hank|game score of the day. Their final doubles total was 1,470. Ron also had the "high three" total with 841, Mavis Taylor and Dave Rey- The others followed in this order, Chris Collins and John Hrico 1,408; Joan Rogers and H Redpath 1,870; Lois Fillmore and Mick McMaster 1,359; E.

Also during another tournament ovent, he teamed up with Sonny Bircham in the Men's Doubles to rack up the highest doubles score ever recorded, 1,992. Three game totals of 1,000 and single game scores over the 400 mark were racked up by Harry on numerous occa- sions, both in open bowling and also in tournament play. Having been retired from league play for the past five years, Harry had confined his bowling to regular Saturday night appearances at Motor City Lanes. It was during one of these sessions that he suf- fered the seizure, to which he succumbed His final act was to throw a "'strike' -- a fitting finish to a great bowler and a wonderful guy.
