Bird, Celtics romp; Kings rebound past Rockets By The Associated Press It was a crucial game for the Boston Celtics, and as he has done so often in his two pro seasons, Larry Bird led them to victory. Bird, the 6-9 forward who won rookie-of-the year' honors in 1980, scored 23 of his team-high points in the first half last night as the Celtics took command early and breezed to a 118-99 triumph over the visiting Philadelphia 76ers, tying their NBA playoff series at one victory apiece. “After we lost the series opener, we knew we had to win this one,” Bird said. “I think all of us felt this was a big game.” “Bird played a great all-around game,” said Philadelphia coach Billy Cunningham. “He put on a cHiiic Out there.” ; ■ ' < : The third game of the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals will be played in Philadelphia tomorrow night. Kubin snubs pros, to remain at State By STEVE GRAHAM Daily Collegian Sports Writer Penn State defensive end Larry Kubin, redshirted last season after a knee injury, said yesterday he will play for the Lion football team for the 1981 season rather than join the pro ranks. After careful thought and dis cussions with head coach Joe Pater- 'My heart felt that I would miss something my senior year, I've always wanted to go to graduate school, and coming back will enable me to do this.' —Larry Kubin no, his parents and fiancee, Kubin said he “would still like a profession al football career, but at this time I think returning for my senior season would be my best option.” Kubin, who will graduate this spring, said by staying an additional year he will be able to pursue a masters of science degree from Penn State, be better prepared phys ically for next year’s National Foot ball League draft and also help the Lions defensively this season. He will be the first Penn State football player to seek a graduate degree in his fifth year, now permis sible under National Collegiate Ath letic Association rules. “My heart really felt that I would miss something my senior year,” Kubin said about turning pro. “I’ve always wanted to go to graduate school, and coming back for my senior year will enable me to do this. “My main concern was playing ball next year. Right now, I’m really ecstatic to be playing ball for Penn State. I’ve been a part of some really great teams here. I feel that next year will be a really great year for Penn State.” Paterno agreed the decision was a good one because Kubin now has the opportunity to receive a graduate degree and be ready to play pro football in 1982. The 76ers took the home court advantage away from the Celtics by winning the opener in Boston Tuesday night, but Cunningham didn’t feel the playing site would be much of a factor. “I don’t care where we play,” he said. “The home court doesn’t make' that much of a differ ence at this level. If you’re a good team, you’ll play well no matter where you’re playing.” But Boston coach Bill Fitch didn’t want to go to Philadelphia down 2-0, so he was relieved after the victory. “We had to get it,” said Fitch. “It wasn’t do or The crucial spurt came late in the period when die.

PSU Sports Information photo “We’re looking forward to having a fine team this year and this (hav ing Kubin) will be a big plus for us,” Paterno said. “I tried not even to get involved in the decision. My concern for him.. .is that I’d be worried about him going into (a pro) camp in early July.” The decision came just one week prior to this year’s NFL draft, to be held April 28-29. And of the 25 NFL and Canadian Football League tea ms that contacted him after last season, several said they are con cerned whether the 6-1, 222-pound senior has fully recovered from knee sdfgery. Kubin has not practiced with the team in spring drills, but by lifting weights, he has strengthened his knee to the point where he expects to begin running by the end of spring practice. As far as playing football is concerned, he said he won’t be ready until pre-season practices begin in August. Kubin said he doesn’t think miss ing spring practice has hurt him too much. “I’ve been rested enough since playing the last time (the third game of die 1980 season against Nebras ka),” he said. “I’m really anxious to get going into some things.” rts But the battle for No.l is not the only thing that gives this game the makings of a classic.

Calgary now leads the best-of-seven series, 3-2. Game 6 will be played tomor row night in Calgary, where the Flames are four-for-four against Philadelphia this season, including two wins during this playoff series. Philadelphia, trying to become the third team in 64 years of Stanley Cup , history to come back from a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven series, led 5-1 after the first period. The game was delayed almost a half hour in the second period when a free-for all broke out after a fight between Cal gary’s Jim Peplinski and the Flyers’ Glen Cochrane. When it was all over, referee Ron Wicks handed out 111 minutes in penal ties 62 to the Flames and 49 to the Flyers. Rick MacLeish scored a power-play goal 1:08 into the game, his fifth during this year’s playoffs and his 53rd career playoff tally to make it 1-0. As the Flyers swarmed over Calgary goalie Pat Riggin, Propp turned on the light at 4:39, again at 9:06 and completed the hat trick at 12:48 to make it 4-0. The Flames didn’t get a shot on goal for the first 9'A minutes of the game. Finally, at 14:56, Phil Russell scored from behind the blue line when his shot hit goalie Rick St. Croix’ stick and went into the net. Philadelphia made it 5-1 as Bill Barber scored on a breakway at 15:57 of the first period. The Flyers outshot the Flames, 13-3, in the first period. Calgary’s Ken Houston scored in the second period to make it 5-2, before the Flyers’ Cochrane and Tim Kerr made it 7-2 after two periods. Bob Gould and Bob MacMillan scored in the third period for Calgary while Ron Flockhart and Barber countered for Phil adelphia. It was Barber’s 10th goal of the playoffs this year and 50th career playoff goal. In other NHL playoff action, Edmonton edged the' New York Islanders 4-3. The Islanders lead the series, 3-2. Minnesota downed Buffalo 4-3 to win the series, 4-1. The St. Louis Blues also won 4-3 in their game with the New York Rangers, cut ting the Rangers’ playoff advantage to 3- 2. Lady laxers host Maryland. Emotional showdown for No.l spot in the polls By JEFF SCHULER Daily Collegian Sports Writer Maryland replaced Penn State as the No.l team in the National Lacrosse Coaches Poll this week, but the Lady Lions will have a chance to regain the top spot at 3 p.m. today when they host the Lady Terps at Lady Lion Field. • That the Lady Terps ended Penn State’s 38-game unbeaten streak when they won 7-6 at College Park last year. • That since 1978, Penn State has won three of the last four meetings between the two, including national championship matches in 1978 (9-3)' and 1980 (3-1). knew we had to do the job so we came out and did it right from the start,” said Celtics forward Cedric Maxwell. Bird and Nate Archibald scored 10 points apiece in the first quarter, which ended with Boston in front 30-22. The Celtics had also led by eight points after the opening period Tuesday night, but this time, instead of letting Philadelphia climb back into contention, Boston buried the 76ers with a 36-point second quarter to lead 66-47 at halftime. Flyers douse Flames with 9-4 win more. There will be a lot of feelings out there. “We’re going in the underdog, which is fine with us. I don’t even know that the girls are that aware of the rankings. If they are, they haven’t said much.” Maryland (8-0) replaced the Lady Li ons (7-0) at the top of the poll after an unidentified voter placed Penn State fourth on the ballot. But the rankings are unimportant now, according to Penn State’s Candy Finn. “The rankings don’t matter much right now,” Finn said. “The_ regionals will determine the seedings for nationals, not the rankings.” But there’s still the loss last year at College Park, the only loss the seniors have known at Penn State. “Maybe we took them a bit lightly last year,” Rattray said. “But we’re going in here knowing we have a tough game on our hands.” But the Lady Lions will not make the same mistake twice, according to Finn. “There’s no danger of us taking them lightly this year,” she said. “We know what we have to do. We just have to concentrate on lacrosse.” ■4\ UPlwiroph^lo Philadephia’s Brian Propp celebrates after scoring one of his three goals in the first period of last night’s 9-4 Flyer win to 1' cut the Flames’ series advantage to 3-2. “We will be out for a little revenge for last year.” . The Lady Lions will have to stop a strong Lady Terp offense that is averag ing 15.4 goals a game. Maryland’s of fense revolves around the high scoring trio of Judy Dougherty (30 goals, 21 assists), Sandy Lanahan (34 goals, 12 assists), and Sally Schofield (25 goals), which figures to keep Lady Lion goal keeper Alisa Logan busy. Defensively, Rattray expects the Lady Terps to play a zone against the Lady Lions. Freshman goalkeeper Marylynne Morgan has allowed only 4.1 goals per game andjias a 71.1 saves percentage. “Our defense must play an offensive defense,” said Lady Lion cover point Pattie Sue Ewan. “We must be self-con fidnetn. We must pressure every ball. We can’t afford to be cautious, because we know there will be someone behind us to cover any mistakes.” But Penn State’s offense figures to keep Morgan busy, too. Finn (39 goals), Lynn Thompson (20 goals, 14 assists) and Laurie Hoke (14 goals, seven assists) key a Lady Lion offense averaging almost 14 goals a game. Kevin McHale added 20 points for the Celtics, Archibald finished with 19 and Parish had 17. Bird finished with 16 rebounds. Reserve guard Andrew Toney topped Philadel phia with 35 points, but Julius Erving, usually the 76ers’ most effective scorer, was held to just 12 points. , Kings 88, Rockets 79 Power forward Reggie King poured in 31 points and Phil Ford, in only his second game since Feb. 22, contributed key baskets to lead Kansas City to an 88-79 romp over Kansas City last night in Kansas City that squared their NBA playoff series at one game apiece. : Trailing by; one pojnt at halftime despite 21 points from King, Kansas City bolted to a .61-54 advantage by outscoring the Rockets 14-6 in the first six minutes of the third quarter of the Western Conference championship game. .

Lions a lofty 11th in lacrosse poll By 808 GROVE Daily Collegian Sports Writer , It’s, spring time in Happy Valley. Flow ers are blooming, the Phi Psi 500 is approaching and the men’s lacrosse team is ranked 11th in the nation. The men’s lacrosse team is what? On the strength of winning five of its first six games this season including Victories over nationally-ranked Towson {State and Rutgers Penn State has ' Broken into the United States Intercolle giate Lacrosse Association’s Top 15 poll for the first time in five years. It’s also the first time a Penn State team coached by Glenn Thiel has made an appearance in the poll. “I’m really pleased,” said Thiel, a Penn State alumnus now in his fourth year as the Lions’ head'coach. “(To be . ranked) has been one of our goals it’s what we’ve been shooting for all year.” Penn State’s aim has been off just once this season, when the Lions dropped an 1M decision to third-ranked Syracuse late in March. Since then, the Lions have . reeled off four straight victories, includ . ing a 12-11 win over 14th-ranked Rutgers Saturday. -•• “It’s kinda hard to keep you out (of the poll) when you’re 5-1,” Thiel said. “But I expected to be 12th or 13th.” j So one might say Thiel was pleasantly * surprised Monday when he learned the 1 Lions were ranked llth.

Curran, one of eight seniors on the Lions’ squad, pointed to a combination of new blood, a good team attitude and solid goaltending as the reason for the Lions’ good fortunes this season. ,' ” “The freshmen, especially the attack ers, and the goaltending have been the keys,” he Said. “And the overall attitude of the team is better.” Freshmen attackers Gary Martin and *Tom Lion have teamed with sophomore attacker Jay Starapoli and senior mid fielder Paul Sullivan to make Penn State a rather efficient goal-scoring machine.

At the other end of the field, junior goaltender Joe Guterding has proved to be a solid backstop. Guterding has made 108 saves in 19 quarters of play and sports a 74.5 saves percentage. As has Guterding, Lion lists the play of Penn State’s defensive unit as one of the main reasons for the Lions’ stingy atti tude in their own end this season. “Joey’s been amazing,” Lion said, “but the defense is excellent.
