If the Jets weren't having enough difficulties by the 5:10 mark of the final period they trailed 4-2 at that point that's when Lukowich and Gretzky came together at centre ice and the incident infuriated the Oilers' standout. Gretzky and Lukowich had words throughout the course of their penalties but it was Gretzky who had. the last laugh 10 seconds after they returned to the ice.

Gretzky grabbed the puck at centre ice, fed it to Anderson breaking down the right side and Anderson laid a perfect pass back to Gretzky who deflected it behind Winnipeg goalie Doug Soetaert. Gretzky had further words for Lukowich as he went to the Edmonton bench and the next time he got on the ice he fed a perfect goalmouth pass to Dave Lumley who redirected it behind Soetaert. That was Edmonton's third goal in one minute and 27 seconds as they simply overwhelmed the Jets. Charlie Huddy and Tom Roul-ston had the other Edmonton goals. Dale Hawerchuk had both Winnipeg goals.

The Oilers outshot Winnipeg 50-23 but the brilliant play of Soetaert kept the Jets in the game until the final period. (More NHL, page 41) Super Bowl impractical could be made up, at least five weekends have been lost for the season," a league statement said. Tex Schramm, chairman of the league's competition committee, said the NFL is leaning toward abandoning the divisional alignment in favor of conference standings to determine playoff spots, but a final decision has not been made. As negotiations resumed, management council spokesman Jim Miller said the union had proposed that players be eligible for severance pay after just three games of their rookie season. Management has offered severance for four years or more-service.

Management also addressed, for the first time, the players' demand, for collectively bargained incentive and performance bonuses. It proposed team bonuses for specific areas of excellence, with the individual shares based on playing time. For example, all defensive players on a team would share bonus money if that team was among the leaders in fewest yards allowed. While the bargaining went on, for a fifth consecutive day at a mid-town Manhattan hotel, player representatives called on both Rozelle and Chet Simmons, the United States Football League commisson-er. Rozelle, who has been urged by" union officials to join management's' negotiating team, was invited by the players Wednesday to come to the table as an observer.

Although he said the request was with the union's insistance that he: take an active role, he promised to consider the request. Free agency for Fryman MONTREAL (CP) Woo-die Fryman, who posted a 9-4 record as a relief pitcher with Montreal Expos of the National League last season, is going to test the free agent The 42-year-old who had been requesting a 50-per-cent increase on his annual salary of $400,000, applied for free agency Wednesday after: being unable to come to terms with Montreal president and genera manager John McHale. "We offered him an opporiu-T nity to make more money," McHale said. "He wants to take a look and see what the market, will bear." Fryman earned 12 saves and' posted an earned run average of 3.75 in 69 2-3 innings of work. Edmonton 7, Winnipeg 2 EDMONTON (CP) Wayne Gretzky Isn't often at a loss for words but a third-period incident with Winnipeg Jets' Morris Lukow-ich left the National Hockey League's most valuable player pleading "No comment" after Edmonton Oilers' 7-2 victory.

Gretzky and Lukowich nearly came to blows on the ice before Oilers' Glenn Anderson interceded and when the three were dispatched to the penalty box they carried on verbal sparring. Asked later about the incident that obviously angered him during the game and provided the spark for him to score one goal and set up another, Gretzky said simply: "No comment, it was nothing." And with a smile on his face, he left the dressing room. Lukowich, sporting four stitches on his face from Lee Fogolin's high stick, said Gretzky "slashed me, so I gave him a bump to let him know I didn't like it. He didn't like that too much. It happens during games, tonight it just happened to be with him." But the veteran Winnipeg forward added quietly: "Maybe I shouldn't have done it, it certainly got him going." Gretzky came out the penalty box and immediately scored and less than two minutes later set up Edmonton's final goal.

Kenny Linseman scored' the two key goals in the game, his third and Change in date rated NEW YORK (AP) With negotiations inching the National Football League scratched a seventh weekend from its schedule Wednesday as the players' strike dragged through a 44th day and any chance of extending the season was diminished. A network television executive familiar with the league's television contracts said: "Contractually, the league is not free to extend the season on its own." The executive, who asked that his name not be used, warned that negotiators considering extending the season to recoup lost revenues could be disappointed. "Extending the season should not be viewed as a panacea for their getting their money," he said. The three television networks CBS, NBC and ABC have written to both league and union officials expressing their opposition to extending the season past the Jan. 30 Super Bowl date.

Among the problems in moving the game would be the disruption of long-planned weekend sports programming and prime-time television specials during critical rating periods. NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle said Wednesday that while moving the Super Bowl was not impossible, it was "impractical because it would be a logistical nightmare." The NFL said the loss of the games this weekend reduces the season to no more than II games only if play resumes by Nov. 14. "With seven weekends of games not played thus far in the 1 6-week regular season, and in view of previous announcements that a maximum of two weekends of games Pate Vuckovich Won 18 for Brewers a 11 Defensive end nition because Edmonton is a high-scoring team and he gets more opportunities to kick and score points." Last year the All-Canadian kicker was Winnipeg's Trevor Kennard, the Canadian Football League's scoring leader. He was good on 67 per cent of his Held goal attempts but the leader was Calgary's J.T.

Hay with a .750 mark. Organ, now 37, was second at .737. This- year Organ, the outstanding Canadian nine years ago, is the CFL's runaway field goal leader hitting on 26 of 30 attempts for a brilliant .867 average. Ruoff has been successful on 29 of 49 tries for a .592 average. "This has been my best year ever but in a lot of ways, it has been a strange season," Organ said.

"I haven't had a game where I've had five or six attempts. I haven't kicked more than three in one game." Even punting averages can be misleading according to Organ because some punters sacrifice distance for height and placement. However, Ruoff, who has maintained a 45.9 average to lead the East, was selected as the all-star punter. Since Ottawa has the CFL's By Tom Casey Citizen staff writer Gerry Organ was one of seven Rough Riders named to the Canadian Football League's Eastern Division All-Stars Wednesday and his selection had particular meaning for the veteran place-kicker. It wasn't because he has dropped strong hints he will retire at the end of the season but more importantly because he felt the quality of his kicking was recognized over the quantity of others.

The leading scorer in the East is Hamilton's Bernie Ruoff with 136 points, 10 more than Organ, and the Ticats' place kicker has booted three more field goals than the Ottawa player. "Almost invariably the guy who scores the most points gets selected to the all-star team," said Organ, who was joined on the all-star team by teammates Val Belcher, Rudy Phillips, Skip Walker, Greg Marshall, Gary Dulin and Carl Brazley. "I'm really pleased that performance was acknowledged. For example Dave Cutler has dominated the All-Canadian team but his kicking percentage has not been the best. He gets the recog Garry Organ Place kicker Condredge Holloway the outstanding player in the East and that's the first time tje has been named to the team since 1978 when he was with Ottawa.

Ottawa tackle Gary Dulin, currently out of the line up with a broken finger, is one of two rookies named on defence. The other is Montreal halfback Mark -Young. The other halfback is Hamilton's Howard Fields and teammate David Shaw joins Brazley at cornerback. The free safety is Toronto's Zac Henderson, the outstanding defensive player in the east. Brazley was shocked at his selection: took three bad pass interference calls early in the season and after that I never gave the all-star team any thought.

This is a nice surprise." The linebacking corps sees Toronto's John Pointer in the middle flanked by Hamilton's Ben Zambiasi and Montreal's William Hampton. Montreal veteran Glen Weir is the tackle with Dulin. Marshall is an all-star end for the second straight year and Montreal's Doug Scott, who is the only non-American on defence along with Weir, is the other end. Before coming to Milwaukee, he played for Chicago White Sox, the Blue Jays and the Cardinals, where he won 39 games in three seasons. For the Brewers last year, he was 14-4.

Palmer, a three-time winner of the Cy Young Award, had a 15-5 record for the Orioles in 1982 and a 3.13 ERA. Quisenberry, who picked four first-place votes, had a league-leading 35 saves for Kansas City while Stieb, who received five votes for first, posted a 17-14 record with Toronto. Cleveland Indians' Rick Sutdiffe, the AL ERA leader at 2.96, got the remaining vote for first and finished fifth in the voting with 14 points. Others receiving votes were California Angels Geoff Zahn with sev en points. Bob Stanley of Boston Red Sox (4), Bill Caudill of Seattle Mariners (4) and Dan Petry of Detroit Tigers (1).

Val Belcher Offensive guard best running game, it came as no surprise to see Belcher and Phillips named the guards while Walker, the rushing and touch-, down leader, join Toronto's Ced-ric Minter in the backfield. It was the third straight year Belcher was named but the first for Phillips, nominated as the East's outstanding" offensive lineman in the Schenley balloting. The offensive line was completed by tackles Doug Payton (Montreal) and Ed Fulton (Hamilton). Tiger-Cats' Henry Waszczuk is the centre, only one 6f three non-imports on the offensive team.

The others are inside receivers Rocky DiPietro from Hamilton and Montreal's Nick Arakgi. Walker was a member of the 1980 team as a member with Montreal and ironically his running-mate was ex-Rough Rider Richard Crump. Although Argos could clinch the eastern pennant with a win Saturday afternoon at Lans-downe Park against the Riders, they had only five players named to the team, but wide receiver Terry Greer was the only unanimous choice. Hamilton's Keith Baker is the other wide receiver. The quarterback is Toronto's player trade with St.

Louis Cardinals in 1980. He rattled off eight straight victories early in the season and then eight more from July 24 to Sept. 20 to help the Brewers' -pennant drive. He faltered, however, toward the end of the season, losing his last two starts against the Orioles and failing to win in his appearances in the playoffs and the World Series. "That hurts," he said.

"But' there's nothing I can really do about that now except sit and analyze, figure out what kind of mistakes I made and try to correct them." Post-season play was not included in the Cy Young balloting. During the regular season, Vuckovich pitched 223 innings, compiling, a 3.34 earned run average and hurling nine complete games. In the last two seasons, Vuckovich has piled up a 32-10 record for the best percentage in major league baseball. Vuckovich praises mates after winning Cy Young award NEW YORK (AP) Pete Milwaukee Brewers' righthander with a knack for pitching himself into jams and then squirming out of them, was named the winner Wednesday of the American League's 1982 Cy Young Award. Vuckovich posted a slick 18-6 record over the 1982 major" league baseball season, in which he was the most consistent starter for the Brewers in their successful quest for the AL pennant.

"I really feel great about it, but I can't take full credit for it," Vuckc- vich said in a telephone interview from his home in Conemaugh, near Johnstown. "I just happen to be hicky enough to be out there on the days the team's playing well enough for me to be a winner." Vuckovich, 30, received 87 points fmm vntes kv turn KocKoll writers the Brewers defeated on the final of the regular season to clinch the AL's Eastern Division title, was second with 59 points. Relief ace Dan Quisenberry of Kansas City Royals was third with 40 points, followed by Toronto Blue Jays' Dave Stieb with 36. Vuckovich had 14 out of a possible 28 first-place votes. He also received four votes for second and five for third.

Palmer had four firsts, 12 seconds and three thirds. Under the voting system conducted by the Baseball Writers Association of America, a first-place vote is worth five points, second place three and third place one. Vuckovich became the second Milwaukee pitcher to win the award, signifying the league's best hurler, for the second year in a row. Reliver Rollie Fingers won in 1981.
