"I just wasn't doing anything," he said Wednesday of his decision to go to college after he retired as a player in 15. "I had no specific jobs to do, so I thought I'd be better off trying to get my degree." Lane, a former defensive back for the Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Cardinals and Detroit Lions, now works By Ron Roach LOS ANGELES (AP) -Dick "Night Train" Lane, according to the announce-mcnt this week from Canton, Ohio, never played college football. The announcement named Lane, along with Tony Ca-nadeo, Bill George and Lou Groza, to Pro Football's Hall of Fame. Lane, 4f, didn't play for a four-year college but he has his degree, a bachelor of science in business and market- He doesn't believe football has changed since his heyday, which started with the Rams after Army service in 12.

As a rookie, he set the National Football League record for interceptions in a season, 14, which still stands. "The money in it has changed," he said. "The game itself doesn't change; people change. Players have more speed now. Teams used to look for the powerhouse types." Lane said he now weighs 250 pounds, about 40 more than in 1905, but he recalls the days when he thought he was too skinny to play.

"I'm taking my high school coach with me to Canton for the enshrinement," Lane said of the ceremonies scheduled July 27. "He's W. E. Pigford of Austin, and he stuck with me when I weighted 130 or 135 pounds. "Oh, man! I even looked smaller than I really was.

I had big bones, but that was about it." He played in the service at Ft. Ord, and weighed 165 when he played at Scotts Bluff Junior College in Nebraska. Lane was mainly a man-forman defender and today's pro defenses stress zones along with bump-and-run. Neither would be new to the Night Train. "We played a little zone and I was doing bump-and-run when I first came up.

I used it as a surprise element more than a steady thing." He doesn't believe the bumpand-run, which has been criticized as hurting offensive football, can survive as a constant strategy. "I don't think a guy can play it all the time. I think it'll die on its own." What about today's swift receivers?

In those days, I think we had better quarterbacks, Norm Van Brocklin, Bobby Layne, Charlie Concrly." Lane said he was somehwat surprised at being named to the Hall of Fame although he knew he was under consideration. "I'm very happy for the guys I'm going in with Groza, George and Canadeo. They are great guys and great players. They did a lot for the league. "We went through a lot to make the league what it is today.

The habit of spitting on a club face originally had official blessing, but now deliberate spitting is punishable by disqualification. Accidental spitting, though not particularly nice, is still regarded as all right in Briths golfing circules. The matter came under review last year when American golfers playing on the British circuit complained about local star Guy Hunt, who regularly spat at the face of his driver before playing the stroke. Hunt, who was among Brit-ain's top golfers when he played with a wet clubface, dropped down among the also rans when he tried to play "dry," following the complaints. The theory was the wet face allowed him to hit straighter and further.

At first the and A ruled in Hunt's favor. But Four months later the reversal of spitting policy was announced. An and A letter to Hunt said elibcrate spit was to be regarded "as foreign material to the club face so that the playing characteristics of the club could be changed purposely during the round Rule2B." Meanwhile, Hunt, having successfully kicked the habit, said he did not want to be remembered as the man whose only contribution to NHL East Division PIS.GF GA Boston 34 9 6 74 217 132 Montreal 31 13 6 68 180 137 N.Y.
