Whichever club signs the player generally must give up a player or draft choices to the other club. The players claim this controversial provision inhibits free trade. Ed Garvey, the union executive director, said in a statement that the Rozelle Rule, named after NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle would not be part of the bargaining because it is being challenged in the courts. The owners have claimed that the Rozelle Rule must be part of -the collective bargaining. In its proposals, the union cited what it called "a yellow caution light" arising in U.S.

Court decisions involving football player Joe Kapp and basketball's WASHINGTON (AP) -The National Football League Players Association announced Saturday that it wants a new contract with NFL owners to guarantee $25,000 minimum pay for veterans, a veteran's right to refuse a trade and the appointment of an arbitrator for grievances. The demands resemble those which led to a 42-day strike in 1974. But the association omitted a call for the elimination of the so-called Rozelle compensation rule. The rule spates that if two teams cannot reach agreement when a player switches clubs after his option year, the commissioner can select compensation for the team losing him.

But the birds are around in such places as Rist Canyon, the Buckhorn area and range extending as far as Salt Cabin Flats and the Dadd Gulch area. The last estimate of turkey numbers quoted was "about 200" from Rist Canyon south to the Carter Lake area.

AT ANY RATE, there will be a 12-day spring gobbler season east of the Continental Divide and a 23-day season west of the Divide. So if local turkey hunters dont' mind a bit of traveling here's the 1975 turkey hunting outlook and where to go: i East of the Continental Divide the season will be from I April 19 through April 30 in South Park, the Rampart Range, the Wet Mountain Valley, the east side of the Sangre de Cristo Range and the Arkansas River drainage east of Pueblo south to the New Mexico line. Costilla County, west of the Sangre de Cristo Range, will also be I open for hunting.

On the West Slope the wild turkey season will be from April 19 through May 11. Open hunting will be allowed in the San Juan Valley, San Juan Basin, Dolores and San Miguel River drainages, Uncompahgre Plateau, the I Uncompahgre River drainage south of Montrose, Grand Mesa and that area in the Deep Creek and Sweetwater River drainages westward to Canyon Creek, all north of the Colorado River. The Spanish Peaks Wildlife Area, southwest of I Walsenburg, will be open to turkey hunting by permit only. Applications are available at the Wildlife Division offices in Colorado Springs, Denver and Pueblo. The deadline for applying is April 11, with the public drawing to be held April 14 at Denver.

UNLIKE ITS distant cousin, the domestic turkey which i is a complete idiot compared to the wild version) the wild turkey is nobody's fool. It's been said by experts who've made long-term studies of the wild turkey that it can in-stantly assess any object it sees and decide whether it belongs in the turkey's These same experts have stated that the wild' turkey is color conscious and may even have a slight sense of smell. The latter I question; the former I don't. The reason why I mention those facts is that rifles and handguns using centerfire cartridges only and all legal muzzle-loading rifles may be used to hunt turkeys. To even think of going wild turkey hunting with a rifle is something akin to daydreaming since hunter orange garments must be worn.

I can't imagine calling up a wild turkey close enough to plink its head off or shoot it across the back and thus avoid totally disintegrating the bird if the hunter is wearing blaze orange garments, unless he's of sniper caliber. I've known a few old-time turkey hunters who could, break a bird's backbone at the wings with a But many use a .22 magnum over a 20-gauge barrel for close I and distant shooting. I think there should be some changes made in hunting laws governing the use of rifles and the wearing of restrictive clothing such as blaze orange. This opinion may be roundly hoo-rawed but I know of far more instances in which turkey hunters have been accidentally sprinkled with shotgun pellets than situations in which he has been drilled with a single slug. Tn event, shotguns no larger than 10 gauge and no Bow and arrow hunting for bighorn sheep will be Sept.

13 through Oct. 5 in a few areas of the state. THE BIGHORN sheep rifle season will be Aug. 16 through Sept. 20 for 13 areas and Sept.

The deadline date for returning those applications to the Colorado Division of Wildlife is June 6, except in the case of antelope applications which must be returned to the Division by July 11, and bighorn sheep and mountain goat applications must be returned by June 13. TTZ rV WW Dates for hunters are announced Did Soviet pressure win Fischer's title? MANILA, Philippines (AP) "Soviet pressure" forced the International Chess Federation (FIDE to strip Bobby Fischer of the world chess crown and award it to Soviet grandmaster Anatoly Karpov by default, a Filipino chess official said today. Florencio Campomanes, deputy president of FIDE, said the Soviets pressured some federation delegates at a meeting March 18-20 in the Dutch city of Bergen to reject one of Fischer's conditions before playing Karpov a rule that would declare the defending champion the winner if the match reached a 9-9 tie. FIDE awarded the world chess title to Karpov on Thursday after Fischer failed to send word he would play the Russian challenger under rules voted by the federation.

Campomanes' accusation apparently was a reaction to Soviet charges that Fischer was incapable of defending his title. "The Soviet chess federation knew that without the 9-9 rule, Bobby would not play, and that it could regain the world title with a paper champion," Campomanes said. He said Fischer "gave them the title on a silver platter. "One Middle Eastern delegate was invited to Moscow just before the Bergen meeting in an effort to convince him not to vote the Fischer proposal," he said. "Another Asian delegate was visited in his home on a Saturday and a Sunday by Soviet diplomatic officials.

Another independent-minded Scandinavian delegate complained of so much Soviet pressure in his own city so that he reacted violently and voted against the Soviet advices. "How many others were pressured but could not speak out for fear of a boycott by Soviet grandmasters we will never know." and bear hunting will also be allowed during the regular deer and elk season. 1 Mountain lion hunting dates are Nov. 4 through Dec. 31 of this year and then Jan.

The only exception to that rule is during the regular deer and elk season when lion hunters are not required to have a special permit but, of course, must have the regular mountain lion hunting license. There will be a split season for archery antelope hunters Aug. 2-17 in the San Luis Valley, South Park and Wet Mountain Valley and then Nov.

The regular antelope hunting season will be Sept. 27-29 and the actual number of antelope licenses to be available will be established by the Wildlife Commission in August. There will also be a late antelope hunting season in a few areas on the eastern plains Nov. 1-3 and for one unit an additional season Nov.

Archery deer and elk hunters will haye a season running from Aug. 16 Omaha puts end to Spurs' year OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -Gerry Byers', three goals and some tenacious forechecking in the third period carried Omaha to a 4-3 win over the Denver Spurs Saturday night and completion of a two-game playoff sweep.

The victory advanced the Knights to the second round of the playoffs against Northern Division champion Salt Lake City. The five-game series with the Golden Eagles will begin Thursday night in Salt Lake City. Ken Richardson scored on a power play early in the third period for the final deadlock. smaller than 20 gauge are legal turkey hunting tools as are hand-held bows, not triggered mechanically. And speaking of shotguns for turkey hunting.

I prefer the 12 gauge magnum pump and as second choice a good, hard- shooting 12 gauge standard pump. Sometimes you need all the help you can get. i PUBLIC STATISTICS, opinion and a penchant for safety records notwithstanding, the rimfire rifle has been, and still is, a time-honored standard turkey getter. In the center-fire calibers the is as heavy as I'd care to shoot, not being possessed of a marksman's gimlet eyed accuracy and not wanting to spoil tasty meat. My favorite recollection of the use of the old faithful .22 rimfire is one of the experience of a boy of (then) 12 years old.

With an ancient but durable single-shot .22 rifle given to him by his dad, he ambushed a huge gobbler from behind a split-rail fence. At about 50-yards he drilled the huge bird in the head with the only shot in the barrel he wouldn't have gotten a second shot off. Being small for his i age, the lad had to drag the bearded behemoth home where he proudly helped his mother dress it. Cleaned anoi dressed, the gobbler weighed 22 pounds. But whatever armament is used and what area is i selected as a personal choice for wild turkey hunting, the bag limit this year is one bearded turkey.

However, if a hunter is successful in bagging a bird in the spring season he may also take another in the fall season if he buys ''Another turkey license..
