"I think I played the worit hockey of my career over the weekend, and I lust decided that I had to contribute to the team any way I can," aald Boaiy, who remained at the 45 goal level. "If I get goali, fine. If I don't, that really doesn't matter, jut ae long aa I help the team. And I think I showed tonight that I don't necessarily have to score to help our team." Bossy made that quite clear with his quartet of assists, aa he set up Bryan Trottler twice, as well as Greg Gilbert and John Tonelll. "I felt a lot better tonight," said Bossy, who helped the Isles Increase their Patrick Division lead over the Washington Capitals to three points.

Isles' Oeneral Manager Bill Torrey taw Bossy's emotional dam giving way.and ha came to the rescue Monday by having a heart to heart talk with hit superstar right winger. The chat did a world of good for Botty "It was a friendly talk, nothing bitter," said Botty.

"Our game Is to go out and forecheck and play the game In their end. We didn't do it after the first five minute." Crowder agreed. "We had a great first period and then tailed off." he said. "They picked it up. We got a little fancy and tried to do what we're not famous for." The Rangers came back with fierce determination, outshootlng the Bruins 2J 7 over the final two periods.

"We put Ourselves in a hole and made It lough on ourselves." said Pierre Larouche. "But tonight, the comeback, was a good sign of the character of our team."

Tho court heard arguments about who should control television rights to college football games the colleges themselves or the National Collegiate Athletic Association. From the quettiont. It appeart they agree with tower court decisions that the NCAA's exclusive control violates antitrust law. If those decltiont are upheld, it would Invalidate S263 million In contracts between the NCAA and television networks, and could drastically change which college football garnet are televised, The univertitlet of Oklahoma and Georgia, schools with major football programs, brought the challenge because they say they could do better bargaining for their own television contracts. Their lawyer, Andy Coats, the mayor of Oklahoma City, Okla urged the court to "return us to the free market." The current system unfler which the NCAA limits the number of games and how often a team can appear on television it a clattic antitrust violation that limits competition and fixes prices.

Coats said Coats said football should enjoy the same freedom as college basketball. where tchoolt can tell the rights to gantes that are not on a national net work. "In basketball." he taid. 'the competitive balance hat never been better But Frank Eatterbrook, representing the NCAA, taid that beceuie colleges are rivals on the football field doetn't mean they have to be rivelt In telling the rights to their games He described college football as part of the entertainment Industry and noted ,1 hait the television terlet "Dallas," made by an independent producer, Is shown exclusively on one network so it won't compete against itself NCAA he laid, are designed to maintain the Competitive balance between teams by spreading the television exposure, which helps more teams attract good players Because of the nature of television, Eatterbrook taid, the NCAA can raise Its revenues by limiting the number of televised games.

"They're buying the viewers who watch the games and if the games aren't competitive, fewer viewers will be attracted." But the two Justices who dominated the quettioning didn't seem persuad ed by the NCAA's arguments Justice Byron White, a former All American running back at the University of Colorado, compared the NCAA regutattont to 'twoiupermar kets agreeing not to compete." And Justice John Paul Stevens said that by limiting the number of televised garnet, the NCAA wat clearly raiting its revenues Representing the Justice Department, Solictor General Rex Lee told the nine Justice! that the NCAA's control violates the Sherman Antitrust Act became It it a restraint of trade The NCAA has two years left on Itt contract A ith ABC and CBS, under which eaxh network pays at least till 1 million for the rights to JS games each year Another 111 million contract with cable television's Turner Broadcasting System ended latt year. ABC and CBS each mutt permit 12 different teams to appear over a two year period, with no college appearing more than six times. If those contracts were invalidated, each college or conference could make its own television arrangements. The court is expected to ittue ruling sometime before July During the arguments. Justice Harry Blackmun atked Coats if he wanted the freedom for "Oklahoma lo be on every Saturday "Not if we don't do any better than we did last year," Coats replied.
