SUNDAY'S GAMES OKLAHOMA CITY. Vinnie Smith Quits as Umpire CINCINNATI (AP) Vet ptan National League urn 5 I By Wnlly U'allis pir.terest rivalry in the Central Hockey League renews Friday at: State Fair Arena when the Minnesota Rangers invade Oklahoma City for an 8 p.m. game with the Blazers.
The feud between the two teams is a holdove'r from the past two years when Ihe present Blazer was based in Minneapolis and there was constant conflict with the St. Paul leam. Now 1hal St. Paul has thr' stage to itself at the northern end of the CHL. the team name has been changed to Minnesota but.
none of the relationships between the players has been altered. -The Rangers, one of the biggest and roughest, of the teams, makes no bones about the fact, they are roniing to town to heal thp Blazers physically as well as scorewise. Ringleader for the rough skating Rangers is team captain Bob Plager, a strapping six-footer weighing more than 200 pounds who likes to throw his weight around. Not without reason is he the league's most penalized player this year. The Rangers will also bring to the Arena Ihe league's top scorer in Paul Andrea, a quick moving forward who tallied one goal and three assists Wednesday night as Minnesota mauled league-leading Memphis, 7-3, in a game marred by 22 minor, two major and two misconduct penalties as a leagim record 74 minutes ver spent In rh box by players of the two teams.
It is unlikely right wing Clou Sather will play for the Blazers against the Rangers. He bruised a shoulder last week at Tulsa and Oklahoma City player-coach Harry Sinden wants the aggressive wing-ma to recover completely before returning to the ice. The return of right wing Bill Goldsworthy from Boston has eased the strain on the right side of the Blazer forward line and Sinden plans no change from Ihe alignments which skaled a 2-2 tie with Houston Wednesday night. This means he will keep Goldsworthy with center Skip Krake and left wing Ted Irvin. The other lines, left, to right, will be: Jean Parise-Ron Bucha nan-Brian Bradley and Keith Wright -Terry Crisp-Pete Panagabko.
Rookie Duncan Rousseau will he available for relief on either flank. While the Blazers are meeting the Rangers Friday night, the supercharged CHL race has St. Louis at Tulsa and Houston at Memphis. Only seven points separate 1he loop-leading Memphis Wings and Ihe last-place Minnesota, Houston and St. Louis teams.
The Wings lead with 3R points while the tail-enders have 31 each. Oklahoma City has 33 points and second place while Tulsa is third with 32. Oklahoma City must heat Minnesota to he sure of second place. pire Vinnie Smith notified National League hnadqua ters Thursday he will not be able to continue as an um pire because of a leg ail ment. Rough as the Rangers are.
they have nol laid up anything against, ihe Blazers 1 his season. They have appeared in the Arena only once and were 4-1 losers in that don-nybrook. A home Minnesota trails Oklahoma City 2-1-1.
