Eagles' defenseman Bob Hager sent the puck ahead to veteran Eagle Lyle Bradley, who skated to the right boards, did a half turn to avoid a Hawk defender and then fired tlx puck to the unmolested Thomson at tlx top of the left faeeoff circle. Thomson quickly moved in on Hawk goalie Dave Elenhaas and stroked the puck into the lower right hand corner at the 4V second mark. The verdict, the seventh overtime game between these clubs in nine playoff games played over a three-seaso-n span, left the Hawks with a advantage in games moving back to Dallas If the Eagles should pull off their first playoff victory ever in Dallas Sunday, the series would move back to soon. and Ken Richardson to produce to aid the overworked trio of Doug Palazari.

Beman pointed nut that 18 holes of tournament golf had stretched out to an hours for the round, and average of an average time of four hours apiars to be a good maximum time limit. Pressure may have conn from the television networks, because when the playing time is extended, the network either has to run over into another scheduled program, or cut the tournament broadcast short. Where this affects the average golfer is in the weekday and weekend play on e his favorite course. If a professional dawdles for several minutes over a putt, the average golfer may figure the extra time will help his putting. Television did more to slow down golf and Imwling than any one factor. When the howlers first appeared on the tube, there were several who seemed frozen on the lanes. And tlx casual league bowler felt that was the way to score well. But the Pro Bowlers tour took steps years ago to speed up the play, and 1 ixdieve the play speeded up in bowling lanes across the country. Bemans edict calls for the two stroke penalty, as ordered hv tlx rules, but in addition, a $200 fine for the first two offenses, with the threat of a fine of tournament $1,000 and a three-weesuspension, for a third offense. Beman spoke for the good of golf, when he explained. "We're trying to set an example for golf everywhere. Look what would happen at any dub if it could reduce the average round from five to four hours.
