Falcons Score Last-Second Triumph
BOWLING GREEN-Jerry York’s Bowling Green Falcons got the early jump in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association in 1980-81 with an exciting 4-3 win over upstart Miami University. Freshman Peter Wilson collected his second game-winning goal in a week as he tipped a Wayne Wilson (no relation) slapshot into the net against Miami with one second remaining in the third period. The win pushed the Falcons into first place in the opening weeks of the season with Lake Superior, the only other club to play conference games in second place with a l-0-l mark after playing Miami. The Redskins from Miami are not in the CCHA title chase this season, but Miami games played on the road against league foes count in the standings for the home team. BG sandwiched the win against Miami with…
Up And Down Life A Joy For Flyers’ Murray
PHILADELPHIA—It’s a nice room, firm bed, tiled bath, maid service once a day, room service upon request. To the perfect hockey soldier a cot, a canteen, a steak at noon and a beer after the game is plenty. As long as the view from Terry Murray’s hotel room is of Philadelphia and not Fort Worth, he is unquestioning.

They haye been first-class all the wav. Remember, I spent three months in a motel once in Oakland. There is nothing wrong with this at all.” Every other year tendons pop. or ligaments stretch or the Flyers trade away another defenseman…
Canadiens’ Napier Feeling Pressure To Score
MONTREAL—This is a. year that Mark Napier must produce! If he does not, then the 23-year-old Canadiens’ winger might find himself plying’his trade elsewhere when the 1981-82 National Hockey League season gets under way. Strange as it may seem, the former 60-goal scorer with Birmingham of the WHA never has developed into the type of scorer the Canadiens expected when they drafted him 10th overall in the 1977 amateur draft. His two-year goal total for Montreal is 27 and while he played sporadically in his first season under then-coach Scotty Bowman. Napier was more or less a regular with the Canadiens last season and also this year. “This is the year I have to do well,” Napier says candidly. “The first year was a trial, but last year I got to play more…
