'Kyvv vwyy v'lvvyyr DETROIT FREE PRESS Wednesday, April 7. '65 i ack iiawK In Playoff Whip Wings BY JACK BEKKY Free Press Sports Writer CHICAGO The Chicago Black Hawks, back in friendly territory, used a favorite tactic and favorite personnel Tuesday night to get back in the Stanley Cup race. The Hawks struck for three goals in a span of two minutes and 40 seconds before the game was 10 minutes ojd and rolled on to a 5-2 victory over the Red Wings. Bobby Hull paced the assault with his fourth and fifth goals of the series and Stan Mikita came out of his shell and scored one and assisted on another. The victory cut Detroit's lead to 2-1 in games in the best-four-of-seven semifinal series, with another one coming up Thursday in Chicago Stadium before the series swings back to Olympia Sunday.

It was a game in which figures lied. The record-keepers recorded only 16 shots for Chicago compared to 30 for Detroit. But the Wings really were hardly ever in the game and those 30 shots weren't very good ones. The Wing attack consisted of two goals by old pro Ted "3 11 Lysall Smith Lindsay, and the Lindsay line was the Wings' best through-; out the game. The Wing power play was so ineffective that in the third period manager-coach Sid Abel didn't even send out Gordie Howe.

But her owner, Herman K. Goodpaster, almost was elated.

LLOYD BRAZIL an All-American? Definitely, and in more ways than a mere line of type in a football record book. He was the first backfield star in the school's history to be selected for such high national recognition.

There will never be another. For the sport is gone now from the campus up at McXichols and Livernois. So is Braz. They sort of left together and in a sentimental way It is fitting that they bowed out as one. For while Braz wasn't the entire football story at the Jesuit university, he was the key figure in most of its chapters.

He carried the Titans to the heights as a star. They strung together 23 victories back in the late 1920's and hung them on a line that caught the nation's athletic eye. His Lifo WHEN HE STOPPED playing, he coached. He was a good one whether the sport was basketball, football, baseball you name it. He was so wrapped up in anything athletic that at one time he was an assistant football coach while he also served as athletic director.

And when it was decided that the two jobs were incompatible, he stepped down from the directorship so Crozier's ears were as read as the goal light that flashed be- been slowed by a slipping saddle, the same problem that cropped up in her final workout last Friday, Goodpaster said. "I had that same trouble with her sister, Cadabra," the owner said. "They're both long barreled with high withers and a low back. I'll just have to put the saddle on a little snugger than I usually do, I guess." In the turn that comes up right after the start in short races at Keeneland, she was behind almost the entire field and it wasn't until the final strides that she found any running room. "She runs kinda like her old mama Filly O'Mine," Goodpaster said.

"She always left the gate on top, faded a little and then came from behind. And she won nine races for me." The white filly was sent off at 15-1 odds by knowing fans, but she got a sympathetic ripple of applause as she trotted back to the saddling area. before too long." He meant she would win a race. WHITE BEAUTY is one of only three white thoroughbreds ever known to have been born. The first, four decades ago, didn't race and the second, a two-year-old in Europe, hasn't started yet.

Geneticists say the odds against a thoroughbred being white are about a billion to one. The two-year-old daughter of Ky. Colonel may have jhind him.

"We just didn't play well." coach Sid Abel summed it up in the Wings' gloomy, grouchy dressing room where the Wings groused about a shortened game. An argument arxe over the clock not being stopped, but the controversy seemed academic since Detroit wasn't about to make uf that 5-2 deficit. Referee Art Skov wanted the Wings to play to the end. "Well, give 'em another goal then." said the aggravated Abel. "The buzzer went off.

that's good enough for me." At the other end of the stadium. Hawk general manager Tommy Ivan avoided comment on the incident by saying: "The score was 5-2, that's the most important thing." And indeed it was, with the brilliant Bobby Hull firing away, it was evident the XHL champion Mings won't cup-caJie through the semifinal. of the playoffs. The next one came at 8:01 and again there were red faces. This time Ron charged at Mikita near the Detroit henrh with elbows high.

Murphy missed Mikita but referee Art Skov signaled a penalty on it and then took his arm down when Mikita, slipping under the elbow, rifled a pass over to Mohns, unguarded on jleft wing, and Mohns whipped he still could pull on sweat socks and coach the kids. Felled by a stroke a dozen years ago, he refused to give up. He worked long months to strengthen a strong arm made weak, to make words come from a partly paralyzed face. The late Gus Dorais, who coached him on the football field, loved to talk about Braz. "As far as I'm concerned," he'd say, "there were only three great collegiate backs in my lifetime Jim Thorpp, George Gipn and Lloyd the puck by Crozier.

"Nobody knew it more than Dorais.

Braz was his alterego out on the field. He'd change plays on Dorais and Gus let him do it. But Lloyd was the only one." Calling a Triple LIKE THE FIRST TIME the Titans ventured into the East to play Fordham in New York City. Inside the first four minutes, Braz startled everybody Ford-ham and Dorais included by calling for an intricate triple-pass maneuver with the Titans' pushed back on their own five-yard line. He started it and then wound up taking the pass for a 67-yard gain.

Later in the same game, Dorais sent Barbour in with orders to call U-D's "strong play" a maneuver which would send Brazil off right tackle. "I got in the huddle and called it," Eddie remembers. "Braz checked it. I called it again. He checked it again.

So I called it the third time. It stuck. "On it. I was supposed to block the right end so Braz could cut inside him. I belted my guy real good nd figured Braz was in the clear.

But when I looked up, he had been thrown for a three-yard loss. "We didn't call that play again all day. Braz had seen things nobody else could see. Not even Dorais. That's the kind of player he was If he had few peers as a player, Braz had few when it came to making friends, and keeping them.

Gentlemanly, he still liked to kick up his heels in relaxation. For years before his first stroke, he and his wife, Leola, held an openhouse after Titan football games. Win, lose or tie, the gang got together in the basement. There'd be Barbour and Doc Kay Forsythe and Tillie Voss and writers and if a priest felt like dropping by, that was OK too. By midnight, there'd be a homegrown combo banging out music of a sort with Braz at the piano or blowing a horn and Doc pounding the drums.

It was loud and it was noisy and once in a while when a timid soul would worry about the neighbors being kept awake by the thumping and the singing, Braz would brush it off with an introduction. "Come over here and meet some more friends of mine," he'd say. They'd be his neighbors from three houses on both sides and maybe a couple from across the street. On the field or off it, he possessed an intuitive sense of Always thinking ahead. A fine man, Lloyd Brazil, ex-U-D.
