WHA FEAT OF THE WEEK
When a player scores four goals in a hockey game it’s something special. But when he does it a second time that puts him in a class by himself. Such is the distinction enjoyed by young DANNY LAWSON of the Philadelphia Blazers. Law-son’s four-goal outburst against Chicago Cougars Dec. 20 marked the second time this year he has turned the trick. He did it Dec. 1 against Cleveland. Lawson now has 24 goals for the WHA season.…

Flyers Insist They Got Better Of Trade With Blues
PHILADELPHIA— It’s still debatable as to who got the better of the deal which saw Brent Hughes and Pierre Plante of the Flyers go to St. Louis for Andre (Moose) Dupont of the Blues. The Flyers’ brass insists, of course, that it came out on top. But only time will tell. Hughes and Dupont are both defensemen while Plante, 21, is a right wing who played most of the past two seasons on the Flyers’ AHL farm club in Richmond. He was one of the club’s two first-round draft choices in 1971. The fact that the Flyers gave up Hughes and Plante for Dupont had at least one of the Flyers’ players shaking his head in disbelief. “That’s what I question the most,” said the player who desired anonyminity. “Hughes was a good offensive defenseman,…
Meehan Streak Overshadows Sabres’ ‘French Line’
BUFFALO— One of the most encouraging aspects of the Buffalo Sabres’ resurgence, after a slump in which they won only one of 10 games, has been the play of Gerry Meehan. Meehan, the Sabres’ captain, scored only one goal in the first 16 games of the season. Then he found the range and scored 17 in the next 16. “It’s up to Gerry Meehan,” coach Joe Crozier said to New York newsmen, before the Sabres made their first visit of the season to Madison Square Garden, “whether we make the playoffs or not. We’re counting on him to take the pressure off Gil Perreault’s line and Gerry has been coming through.” Gerry came through again that night, scoring the winning goal late in the final period as the Sabres scored their first victory ever…
