The Canadian Football League, largely unknown south of the border, will display its product before U.S. football fans this season via a series of 20 weekly telecasts of CFL games. Tomorrow Syndication hoping to approach the success the National Football League, has enjoyed with television, has lined up a network of 109 U.S. TV stations for weekly Wednesday night telecasts.

Some games will be shown live in prime time, others on delayed tape. The series made its debut with the June 28 game between the CFL champion Calgary Stampeders and an all-star squad composed of players from the league's eight other clubs, with Calgary winning 23-22. Preseason exhibition games will be televised until July 31 when the league starts its regular season. After that, one game a week will be shown through Nov. 8.

Nine CFL Clubs There are nine clubs in the Canadian Football League, which is divided into Eastern and Western Conferences. The winners of each conference meet at the end of the regular season for the Grey Cup, symbol of the CFL championship. Joining Calgary, last year's Grey Cup winners, in the Western Conference are the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Edmonton Eskimos and British Columbia Lions. The four teams in the Eastern Conference are the To-r Argonauts, Montreal IK Diagram illustrates the differences between American and Canadian football field.

(AP Wirephoto) I TV, 1 stylish self. The scene was the third round of the 1972 Masters, which he won as the first leg of his present drive for golf's Grand Slam. (AP A 1965 model Jack Nicklaus, right, watches a tee shot in the Greater New Orleans Open. In those days he was repeatedly stung by such nicknames as "Ohio Fats" and "Whaleman." At left Jack displays his current trim, By Joe Nagle MUIRFIELD, Scotland (UPI) The Royal and Ancient's official list of com-p i makes no distinction. Alphabetically listed at No.

44 is: Nicklaus, Jack of U.S.A. No gilt lettering, heavy type or underlining. It couldn't be otherwise. This is the British Open, the 101st renewal in fact, of the world's oldest golf championship. It was played for the' first time in 1860 and tradition, of course, is strong.

Yet, it could be argued the 32-year-old hero of hackers the world over warrants a separate listing. Nicklaus certainly has been isolated from the rest of the 150-strong field, in theory if not in fact. For there will be two tournaments running concurrently July 12-15, with 149 golfers plus a couple of old timers playing the British Open, and one competing in his own private event. Nicklaus' tournament is called: Grand Slam, stage three. The man himself tries to shrug off the distinction, but it's impossible.

Even while insisting the Slam is not an issue to be considered at this stage, his conversation turns inevitably to his chances of pulling off that miracle feat. "Until I win the British Open, I don't think the Grand Slam becomes an issue," he says. "I must win here first." Then, "Now I have won the first two, the odds are greatly reduced." And even more indicative of his thinking: "If I win all four I have no intention of getting out of the game." Jack may try to separate the issues at stake on the exposed links this week, but he'll be the only one. While Nicklaus is in contention, it would be fatuous to argue otherwise. Dream Over Reality The "impossible dream" of winning the U.S.

Open and Masters, British Open and American PGA all in the one season will obscure everything else at least for the first couple of rounds Wednesday and Thursday. Will the incalculable pressure grind down even the mighty Nicklaus as he at-tempts to gain the very threshhold of golfing immortality? Did not Nicklaus win in 1966 when the tournament was last played on Muirfield's 6,855 yards par 71 links? Who topped the U.S. money-winners last year? Has won almost $200,000 this season despite infrequent appearances? Won the U.S. Open at least twice each and has equalled the late and' legendary Bobby Jones with 13 championship victories? Nicklaus was among the first to arrive at Muirfield and was out on the course within the hour after booking in Wednesday.

YMI. Bobby Allison Favored To Cop Volunteer 500 BRISTOL, Tenn. (UPI) -Bobby Allison, who will start from the pole position, is favored to capture the 12th running of the volunteer 500 stock car race Sunday at Bristol International Speedway. Allison, of Hueytown, will be piloting a 1972 Chevrolet in the 500-lap Grand National Winston Cup event over the high-banked oval. Former driving great Junior Johnson of Rhonda, N.C., will be trying to make it three consecutive victories as a car owner.

Charlie Glotzbach of Georgetown, won the 1971 volunteer for Johnson and Allison, who now mans the Johnson Chevrolet, captured the Southeastern 500 earlier this year. Allison won the pole position Friday in first-day time trials, hitting a record speed of 106.097 miles per hour. TOUCHDOWN 2 Yd. line put mm HELD 38 FIELD 65 yds. giving the offensive team more room in which to run pass patterns close to the goal line and making it riskier for a defensive team to go into a tight, goal line defense.

I Canada, an offensive team gets three downs instead of four to make 10 yards. This leads to a more daring style of attack geared towards the "big play," since the plodding "three yards and a cloud of dust" offense would come up short. In the CFL there are 12 players on each side, the extra man usually being a flanker or cunning back on offense and a halfback on defense. All offensive backs may be in motion in any direction before the ball is snapped, whereas in the NFL just one back may go in motion, and he may only move laterally or away from the line. Any punt or unsuccessful field goal in the CFL leaves the ball in play.

It must be fielded bv the receiving team, and the punt returner's teammates are not permitted to block for him. The kicking team receives one point a "sinele" if the ball is kicked into the end zone and not run out by the receiving team. Some American observers have felt that football has reached the saturation point on U.S. television. But Tomorrow Syndication, the U.S.

distributor of the CFL television package, is counting on American fans tuning in to the CFL brand of football, and finding it exciting enough to stay tuned. Vida Blue Hopes For Better Days OAKLAND (UPI) "I hope better days are coming," moaned pitcher Vida Bue who has gone from the heights to the depths in one year. Last-place Milwukee handed the 1971 Cy Young Award winner and most valuable player in the American League his worst beating in the big leagues, 9-4, Friday night. It was the most runs that Bue has surrendered in a single game in 67 mound appearances, dating back to August 1969. any chess table provided by the organizers.

"It's not very practical and I would like another table," he said. "On the other hand it's sad to discard it since the Icelanders have had it specially made and intend to put it in a museum after the match." mm. W0r. mr- For thej Horn Commercial-Industrial 24-HOUR Phon SERVICE 962-4401 ii FORT ERIE, Ont. (UPI)-Gay Brewer fired a red hot 68 to take a three-stroke lead Saturday in the third round of the $150,000 Canadian Open golf classic at Cherry Hill club.

Brewer, winner of the Masters tournament in 1967, came in with a 54-hole total of 205, eight under par. Lou Graham, Phil Rodgers and Bruce Crampton were three shots behind the leader at 208. Dave Hill, cc-leader with Graham after the second round, fired a two-over 73 and was deadlocked with Tommy Aaron at 209. First round leader Bunky Henry was bunched with Sam Adams, Bobby Mitchell and Bud Allin at three-under par 210. Defending Canadian Open champion Lee Trevino shot a one-under par 70 to put him at one-under, 212, for the tournament.

George Knudson of Toronto paced the four remaining Canadians in the field with a 212 after three rounds. Brewer, who was forced to withdraw from the Masters this year because of an ulcer ailment, finished with a three under 33 on the back nine af iNSTAUATKJrN STABILIZERS AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT Alouettes, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Ottawa Rough RidT ers. American football fans will find the Canadian version of the sport not all that different from' what they're used to. The basics of the Canadian game are familiar, and the few differences tend to make the Canadian sport more wide open than its American counterpart. The Canadian field is larger 110 yards by 65 as opposed to the American 100 by 53.

This encourages more outside running plays, and gives scrambling option quarterbacks and swift running backs an edge over pocket passers and straight-ahead runners. Deeper End Zones The Canadian end zones are 25 yards deep instead of 10, ter surviving a three bogie front nine with a par 35. "I've been hitting the ball well lately," the somber-looking Brewer said. "I've been working on my putter quite a bit. I've taken the glove off the past three days and it's the first time I've ever shot without a glove." Equals Record Lanny Wadkins, of Winston-Salem, N.C., shot a 65 Saturday, equallig the course record set by Henry dur-i Thursday's opening round.

Wadkins said he "missed a lot of real make-able putts" in the round which he termed as "satisfactory." "My long irons were real good," the rookie pro said. "I hit the ball real good today, real solid." Henry, who came in with an even par 71, was four-under par for the first six holes until he ran into a double bogey on the par-four 7th. "That course is getting tougher each day," Henry said. "I wonder where that Sunder is that everybody was saying was going to win the tournament," he added. ing the chess sets and board to be used.

Schmid said he had invited the two players to come to the hall together on Sunday to check on the facilities and hopefully approve them. But this meeting was called off Saturday after Schmid left. Spassky also left town and went north with Icelandic friend and chess player, Freysteinn Thorbergsson, on a salmon fishing trip. Russian officials said Spassky would be back Monday, at the latest. Thorbergsson also invited Fishcer along, but the American turned down the invitation to observe his Church of God's Sabbath from Friday night until Saturday night.

Before leaving, however, Spassky said he was not going to argue about the practical arrangements or the picking of sets and boards. "I will leave that to Bobby it makes no difference to me," the 35-year-old champion told newsmen. Before departing Schmid said he was not entirely happy with the massive mahog 1 7.3 Reg.

U.S. chess sources said Fischer, the 29-year-old American challenger, is "at peak form and raring to go'" into the first game Tuesday against the world champion, Russia's Spassky. But the sources said there might have to be another postponement until Thursday since chief arbiter Loth-ar Schmid will not be back in town until then. Schmid, a West German grandmaster and the owner of a book publishing firm in Bamberg, flew home Saturday morning and said he would return Thursday.
