Show YVYW.r y.iWi I I The Sail Lake Tribune, Saturday, October 9, 1 Strike Continues NFL Boss Says Season in Doubt l! player representatives have lieen warm'd by management that the season will be calk'd off if the strike is prolonged. We've hoard that liefore and we dont W'lieve it for one minute. Thats a lot of money to be throwing down the drain." But Rozelle said the timetable for a possible cancellation of the remainder of the NFL season is based on a consensus among memlx'rs of the leagues committee and the executive committee of the NFL Burl Banie.s Washington Post Writer National Font boa League Commissioner Pete Rozelle said Friday the NFL will seriously consider canceling the season if the NFL Players Association strike is not settled and the players hack in training facilities by Oct. 25 or 26 In a telephone conversation from his office in New York. Rozelle also said that some team owners say they would rather cancel the season than agree to the players' proposed wage scale, the central issue in the deadlocked negotiations. "They w ill not aeeept terms they can't live with, and they say they can't live with the wage scale, Rozel-lsaid Ed Garvey, the NFLPA execu live director who has charged the NFL negotiators with violating federal labor laws by refusing to bargain on the issue of a wage seale, said, Its unbelievable (hat they continue to make our case for us before the National Labor Relations Board I've ne' er seen a more clear-cu- t case of violating the labor laws " Garvey also vehemently denied a report that there had been s maneuvering to settle the impasse, perhaps in time to resume play next weekend. There's Deen no prohe said gress whatsoever, There was also a report that President Ronald Reagan may soon become involved in the strike that has now lasted IX days. Meanwhile, Dave Sheridan, an NFLPA spokesman, said many com-ix'titio- n Council, Management the league's latxir negotiating arm. that each team should play at least 15 games "nicy felt youd need at least that to have a credible season," Roelle said. This is the third weekend of NFL games called off because of the strike. Two of the weekends could be made up, one by calling off the wild card game and one during the extra weekend between the conference championships and the Super post-seaso- n Bowl on Jan. 30. But continuation of the strike past Sunday, Oct. 24 would put the minimum in jeopardy because there are only 16 games in the regular season. Youd have Ix'hind-the-scene- to be settled in time to get back in condition," said Rozelle. They should be in early in the week prior to the weekend when they would first play." There were no talks between the two sides Friday, and none were scheduled, but management and union representatives exchanged messages blaming each other for the stalemate Tribune Wire Serv ices Fighting both the gusting winds and a "wicked headache, Wayne Levi recovered from a shaky start 71 that left Friday to post a him two shots ahead of veteran Bruce Devlin halfway through the $350,000 I a Jvt Classic at Abilene. Texas Winds gusting to more than 30 inph howled across the par-7Fairway Oaks Country Club course Friday, and the birdies which were so readily available on opening day suddenly disappeared "When I started, I thought a round of 69 or 70 would be very good, said Tom Watson, who shot a 69 to get back in the tournament at 142. "I just hope the wind keeps blowing." "You had to invent some incredible shots out there, said Levi, who 135 for his two stood at rounds. "I knew when I started wasn't going to shoot a very low numler We were just lucky that the greens were soft.

Levi, who opened the tournament with a sensational 64, then fell out of the lead soon after he began his round in the afternoon But he birdied three of his last four holes with putts of 15, 10 and 25 feet to jump back in front of Devlin. "My record shows that 1 have played pretty good in the wind," said Levi, winner of this year's Hawaiian Open. But I dont like it. It seems like you have to work too much. With the heat building up in the afternoon and that hot wind blowing in my face, I got a wicket headache "I played very indifferently the last few holes," said Devlin, who has not won a tournament in 10 years. Mind you, there was a time a number of years ago when I was as fine a wind player as there was on the Tour. Anytime there was wind I was up there. "But you cant play the wind good all the time, particularly when you dont play as much as you used to. If the winds keep blowing like this the rest of the week (which they are forecast to do), you are going to have to play awfully good to win. Devlin, who led the first two rounds of the U S. Open this year, saved par from bunkers on three of his final four holes. Among those in the lead, a big cheek would mean most to Koch both of whom are and Cole fighting for a spot among the 125 players who will be exempt for next year's Tour Koch currently ranks 125th on the money list.

In the first two legs of the 1982 fall championship series, the Woodward Stakes and the Marlboro Cup, Island Whirl and Lemhi Gold, respectively, scored upset victories. In those races, several contenders for Horse of the Year honors faltered, including Perrault, Silver Buck and Timely Writer, leaving Horse of the Year honors up for grabs. And, in August, Belmont winner Conquistador Cielo, a beaten third in the Travers, was retired following his Aug. 21 race at Saratoga Although this season has seen some of the top horses either upset, injured, or retired, a field of 11, topped by favored Timely Writer, is Gold Cup which, set for the for the first time in years, may have little bearing on who Ix'comes Horse of the Year. In the past, 26 winners of the event have gone on to become Horse of the Year and only the three favorites Timely Writer, Lemhi Gold and Christmas Past have an outside chance at Horse of the Year with a victory. The Gold Cup, however, does feature a competitive field. Timely Writer, ridden by Jeffrey Fell, drew the No. post and is the favorite while Lemhi Gold early fillv (No. 2 post) and the 1 1 3-- 1 Christmas Past (No. 8) are the d second choices at Lemhi Gold will be ridden by Chris McCarron and Christmas Past will have Jacinto Vasquez aboard.
