"I sincerely regret I can't accept a four-year proposal at this moment," Finley told city officials. "Bad publicity has given me, the ball club and the city a bad Image. "Four bad years would bank rupt me, but In two years' I could bail myself out. How ever, we'd be happy to take your offers tinder advisement." The league rejected iniey request to move the As to Louisville Jan. 16 and ordered him to sign a lease with Kansas City by Feb.

"Almost nine million fans have paid about $18 million to see the A's in nine years here and this support deserves stability," Davis said. An atmosphere of cordiality prevailed at the meeting, although both slipped In a few barbed remarks. When Davis pledged the full cooperation of the city, business and industry in backing the club under a four-year pact, Finley said: "I've heard this tune played before. We 'gave the chamber of commerce a list of season ticket holders who didn't renew and the chamber sold only five in 1961 and three in 1962."

Georgia Tech Dramatically Leaves The SEC ATLANTA (AP) Georgia from the Southeastern Conference Friday before a startled SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Lanky Don January fired a a steady 1-under-par 70 In Saturday's third round of the Lucky International golf tournament to capture the lead from Arnold Palmer with score of 204 for 54 holes. Second round leader Palmer faltered while young Ray Floyd surged, each finishing one stroke behind January. Palmer had one double bogey and four bogeys but a stretch drive brought him down to 1-over-par 72 and his 205. The 21-year-old Floyd missed a chance to tie for the lead when he missed a four-foot putt at Harding Park's 18th hole for a 69.

Moments earlier, January had birdied the same hole from the same distance in his bid for the $7,500 top prize. Five golfers deadlocked two strokes back at 206, including 120-pound Puerto Rican belter Juan (Chi Chi) Rodriguez, who had the best round of the tournament at 65. jueacuocKea with him were Gene Littler with a 67 Saturday, Jack Rule 69; Dave Ragan, 70, and Mason Rudolph, 71. Vir tual unknown Al Yancey from Los Angeles moved in alone at 207 with a 66. Yancey, winner of the Pennsylvania Open In 1963 and the South Carolina Open in 1962, is same rent In four years you would In two?" Finley retorted, "The rent Is peanuts compared to the opera- 4 tion of this ball club." Davis replied Tve been waiting to hear you say that for a long time." The first city offer Saturday was four years for two years' rent at the old rates of 9 per cent of paid admissions and 7'2 per cent of concessions.

The second offer was for four years at the same two rates, with all income above $50,000 going to Finley, plus two four-year op- tions with an escalator attend-' ance clause. In the option period Finley would pay no rent except for the Tfi per cent concessions If attendance were under a flat $25,000 if It were 575,000 to 800,000, 5 per cent between 800,000 and one million and 10 per cent over one million. The money above $50,000 the first four years would repay Finley for $411,000 he contends he spent for stadium Improve-' ments.

January always has played well over the municipal layout Never worse than eighth In the Lucky, he was runner-up a year ago. Saturday provided a near repeat of history, since January held the third-round lead in 1963 by one stroke over Burke and Canadian George Knudson. Tied behind Yancey at 208 came 49-year-old Jim Ferrier with a 66 Saturday, Tommy Jacobs at 70 and Canadian Al Balding at 69. Masters and PGA champion Jack Nicklaus fired a 66 Satur day but was well back at 212. Ram was predicted for Satur day night which would again make for soggy going In the final.

Jyst 25 Broken Sizes Original Values to $39.50 For $28.2 Million CBS Wins Rights To All NFL Games i By JACK HAND, Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) Television rights to National Football League games In 1964 and 1965 were won Friday by the Columbia Broadcasting System with a staggering bid of $28.2 million assistant pro at the Green Valley Country Club near Phil adelphia. The 25-year-old pro originally listed himself from Los Angeles, but later was list ed as from Philadelphia. January, 34, from Plainvlew, but now playing out of Walnut, shot par golf through 11 holes. He three-put ted No. 12 for a bogey, knocked in a four-foot birdie putt at 13, three-putted 14 and tapped in an 18-inch birdie putt at the 16th.

He finished up with his four- footer at the 18th, to go under par for the first time on this overcast, chilly day. Floyd, on the other hand, didn't miss a green until the 18th. The 200-pound barrel-chest ed who won the St. Petersburg Open in 1963, dropped two birdie putts of 12 feet and one from 25. Palmer carded three straight bogeys on the front nine after shooting a birdie on the first hole.

His "army" of nearly people was unruly despite a special warning before play be gan. The man who won a record last year carded his double bogey at the 10th hole, He pulled his tee shot under trees, and was forced to punch out short when he couldn't get a clear swing, because of low-lying branches. "I didn't think it would eo this high," he said later. Rozelle declined to announce the offers of the two unsuccess ful bidders the American Broadcasting Co. and the Na tional Broadcasting Co.

How ever, It was learned that both bids were well above the $15 million level and that ABC was second. NBC recently won the 1964-1965 college football tele vision contract with a bid of $13,044,000 for two years and has the World Series at $3.5 million per year. ABC has one year to go on a contract with the American Football League at $2.35 The startling bid for the NFL games and this does not In clude the championship game-marked an increase of about 200 per cent over the previous con tract, also held by CBS. When CBS negotiated the NFL two- year deal for $9.3 million, or $4.65 million a year, in 1962 this was regarded as a ceiling for sports events. The championship game, televised by NBC for $926,000 last year, is not Included in the package but will be up for sep arate bids in March.

Bill MacPhail, CBS vice pres ident in sports, heaved a sigh of relief when the award was an-nounced. Representatives of other networks quickly left Ro-zelle's skyscraper office where they had submitted sealed bids at 11 a.m. EST. "We are delighted to continue our association with the Nation al Football League," said MacPhail; "We like to think we had a hand In pioneering the rise of the league In television since 1956." MacPhail's explanation for the sky high bid was that "bowl games ate 'tip substantially and also the rights to the Olympic group of SEC presidents could versial scholarship limit. Tech had been expected to if the SEC presidents voted to retain the rule that no school may have more than 140 athletes under scholarship at any one time.

But before the meeting could get started, Dr. Edwin Harrison stood up and announced Tech's withdrawal. The Tech president gave as his reason the fact that the school did not want to issue an ultimatum to the SEC either the rules goes or Tech goes. He added: "Our action neith er indicates nor Implies criticism of other institutions or of the conference, but rather acknowledges a uniqueness of our situation." Georgia Tech has been In the SEC since it was formed in. 1933.

Bobby Dodd, Georgia Tech's football coach, said the 140 rule was the crux of the matter. We would have stayed in If this rule had been lifted," he said. "A careful survey of prospective student athletes and a well-planned program of tutoring for all that needed it after their' arrival has cut our losses of scholarship-athletes to a fig ure much below that of most conference schools. "This has resulted in limiting our recruiting program to the extent that we feel we cannot comply with the rule and con tinue to field a respectable team. This is not fair to our school, our alumni, our players, or anyone connected with the program." Tech's action becomes effec tive June 30, but will not affect the games Tech already has scheduled with SEC teams.

Georgia Tech has won or shared the. SEC football championship five times in 1939, 1943-44 and 1951.52. The Yellow Jackets have been to bowl games 16 times, winning 11 and losing 5. Tech set a national record by winning six bowl games in' six consecutive years 1952-57. The Jackets were the first team to appear in the five major bowls Rose, Sugar, Cotton, Orange and Gator and have won at least one game in ull five.

The other SEC teams are Au burn, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana State, Mississippi State, Mississippi, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Tu- lane.

The new contract, calling for' $14.1 million a year, assured each of the 14 NFL clubs of slightly more than $1 million for its 14-game season as its equal share of the television money.

Pete Rozelle, NFL commis sioner; announced the award of the contract scarcely five min utes after he and Marshall Leahy, league attorney, had retired to consider the bids from the three major networks.
