Pmm 10, Carwlift *mr*—>197* i SPORTS The final four j by Dtno Bonanno Now that the N H L has weeded out 8 of its 12 playoff teams in attempt to Find a Stanley Cup Champ its time to make prediction about who will win. The Ranger - Islander Series may do more damage to New York than the last blackout. I wouldn't doubt that violent crimes rise on this subway (Series). This rivalry is building up to be one of the best in hockey. A few years ago when the Islanders matched up against the Rangers in the best of three the boys from Suffolk won it dramatically in three games. The Rangers had won the first game handily. In the second game the Rangers were winning by one goal until the Isles tied it at the buzzer. Denis Potuin then scored an overtime goal in record time of 13 seconds, the Isles then came back to win the final game, by a goal. Whether this Series will be as dramatic as the last is debateable but the outcome should be the same. The Rangers \Doormat\ defense and hot /cold goal tending should enable Mike Bossy to tally at least S more goals. The depth pf the Islanders should out last and out play the Rangers. Figure the Leonard shatters school mark by Dino Bonanno Kevin Leonard continued his successful running season this year as he toppled a Pittsburgh State Record in the 1500 meter run, last Saturday, at the Rutgers Relays in New Brunswick, New Jersey. By achieving the time of 3:53.9, Leonard not onlyA>roke the Pittsburgh State Record but qualified for the Division III National Championship in the 1500 meter Bob Bircree also qualified in the National in the 5,000 meter run as he missed setting a school record by a second and a half with a time of 14:38.7 In the Field Events, John MacMennamtn qualified for the States last Wednesday while in a dual meet vs. Albany State. Islanders to win in five because there is no home ice advantage. As for hockey's second greatest rivalry, both teams are not accustomed to meeting so early in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In the last three years, the Canadians have beaten the Bruins in the final, 4-0, 4-1, and 4-2 respectively. These Bruin teams had steady goaltending which this years team lacks. Normally I would have gone with the Bruins losing in seven (keeping with the Bruins one game process a year.) However, it seems that the Montreal defense can starve off the Bruins. Although the Brains got by the Fenquins in four games, all but I game was decided by 1 goal. It seems that the Canadians will whiz by the Bruins in five* When the Islanders and Canadians meet in what will be the best Stanley Cup final ever the Islanders will prevail 4 games to 3. Three of those games will goint* overtime as Bossy picks up the MVP. 1 can't see either team losing four games but the Islanders have a slight edge due to home ice. You don't believe me, Just wait.

Saranac downs Ruggers The Saranac Mountaineers defeated the Pittsburgh State Rugby Club in both matches this past Saturday here in Plattsburgh. The M A\ game was a hard fought contest that had Saranac come out on top 15-9 despite a 3*3 halftime score. The U B W game again had the more experienced Saranac Club on top 8-4.
