fecntintl Orlaada, FlerUa 'Monday, Oct. 20, 1975 EFL Player Still Critical After Collapsing In Game touchdown of the game for the Stampeders. "I knew right away he was out," said Galbos, one of the best blocking backs In the CFL. Clearly shaken by the incident, Galbos said he caught the Hamilton player with a solid block as teammate Dick Wesolowski was blocking Pate at the legs. PATE, A 6-foot-3, 230-pounder who joined Hamilton after being released by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in July, was placed in the intensive care unit of Foothills Hospital after being transported from McMahon Stadium, a mile away.

A hospital spokesman described Pate's condition Sunday night as CALGARY, Alta. to Tom Pate, who survived a childhood attack of spinal meningitis and went on to play pro football, was in critical condition in a hospital here Sunday night, 24 hours after he in a Canadian Football League game. Pate, a 23-year-old linebacker witfi the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, was taken from the field in an ambulance Saturday night during the- fourth quarter of Hamilton's 25-23 victory over the Calgary Stampeders. HE BECAME unconscious and went into convulsions on the field aftrl being blocked cleanly by Culgary fullback Rick Galbos as Willie Burden scored his second "very serious." No announcement was made on the cause of his collapse, but the spokesman said an official statement on the player's condition and the cause of his collapse probably will be made today. Gary Hobson, Calgary general manager, said he had received a medical opinion that Pate had an aneurysm, a weakness of a blood vessel, and that the block probably had little to do with his collapse.

HOBSON QUOTED the team doctor as saying Pate's situation was grave. A native of Omaha, Pate suffered spinal meningitis at the age of 13 and lapsed into a coma that lasted four days. He spent 11 days in the hospital, lost 10 Canadian Press Wlrephoto PATEV FAR RIGHT, JARRED BACKWARDS AFTER CRUSHING BLOCK BY RICK GALBOS Hamilton linebacker hit on Calgary touchdown run by Willie Burden pounds and had blurred vision AFTER JOINING Hamilton, He came to Saskatchewan and and partial paralysis of his face Pate said his childhood illness beat out highly regarded Al v. i i it l. tVi fnr thpt ctnrrincr inn wnen ne was ieieaseu.

Ml. It Was Called 'Richard Petty Day9 But Rockingham Belonged To Cale hard-charging Allison to win his third race in 37 outings this season.

"I backed off a little bit there at the last go-around. I knew I was going to have to punch it to the start-finish line, so I did and it (the car) crossed up with me a bit but it wasn't any problem," Yarborough said. THE TIMMONSVILLE, S.C. driver, who won the Carolina 500 here in March and the Nashville 420 in July, led the race six times for 396 laps, including the final 253 of the 492 circuits. Petty, who led four laps, fell out after 20 laps and finished 35th in the 37-car field.

Only last week, the Dodge driver finished last in the Capitol City 500 in Richmond, Va. "This is the worst luck I've had ROCKINGHAM, N.C. to The governor had proclaimed Sunday as "Richard Petty Day" in North Carolina. But Cale Yarborough stole the show. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of Petty fans who were winding up their annual convention watched as Yarborough's Chevrolet won the Uth annual American 500 stock car race a car-length ahead of Bobby Allison's Matador.

THE JUNIOR-JOHNSON prepared Chevrolet was never really challenged until the final few circuits when Allison shortened a one and one-third lap lead to about three seconds at the 1.017-mile North Carolina Motor Speedway. Yarborough, whose car wobbled coming out of the fourth turn on the final lap, held off the since 1961," said Petty, who has won 12 of the last 27 races, more than any driver this season. PETTY SAID his car started skipping on the second lap. "Then we had a flat tire. After changing the tire, we went back out, but the motor came apart.

It was either a piston or a valve. Whatever it was, it went through the oil pan." Dave Marcis, who started his Dodge from the pole, finished third one lap behind Yarborough and Allison. Lennie Pond was next in a Chevrolet, four laps back, and A. J. Foyt wound up fifth, a distant five laps off the pace.

Next in order were rookie Bruce Hill, Bobby Isaac, Jim Vandiver, Donnie Allison and Coo Coo Marlin, who was 25 laps down. FOYT, WHO ran 32nd in the 1971 American 500 and fourth in the 1967 fall race here, followed Yarborough in laps lead. The U.S. Auto Club veteran was in front five times for 73 laps. Foyt just laughed when the rest of the National Association of Stock Car Racing drivers started heckling him after the race.

"Man, it was one thing, then another," he said. "I don't know which was worst, my driving or the way the car was handling or that seat working in my back. My back looks like I been in a barroom fight and got the worst end," Foyt laughed. YARBOROUGH, however, was delighted with the performance of his car. VThe Chevrolet ran exceptionally well all day."

"They'll have to force me off the next time." Both January and Hinson, who wound up alone in' second place, bogeyed the first extra hole. But January birdied the second extra hole on a threefoot putt for the victory. HINSON MISSED a two-foot putt on the first extra hole after January bogeyed.

thought after a couple of months I'd climb right back, but I got a rude awakening," he said. January added that physically the task was not tough, but that competition had been difficult mentally. "I WAS nervous out there a few times today. But then I've always been nervous," he said. He finished at 13 under par.

January, who turns 46 Nov. 20, said he began playing golf again because, "I didn't have anything to-do. The economy pushed me back out here. I wouldn't be here now if I had enough work to make a' living." said the demand for new golf courses has fallen off with the economy. CAN still do two jobs a year," he said.

Now I feel like I'm accomplished." January said Hinson's missed putt on the first playoff round "gave me the breathing room."
