While the winner's share was small compared with North American purses, Player will have a bonanza of more than $100,000 in fringe benefits. The total money awarded was $52,000. American Gay Brewer, the 1967 U.S. Masters champion, made a strong charge midway of the final round but finished shakily.

He had a 76 for 295. American Arnold Palmer closed with a 77 for 297 and said: "I'm going home to ready for the PGA at San Antonio." The U.S. PGA championship, the only major title Palmer has never won, will be played next weekend in the Texas city. Doug Yancey of the U.S. carded an 84 for 311.

A three-way battle turned into a five-way scramble at one stage of the final round. At one point, Casper, Player and Charles were in a three-way tie, with Nicklaus and Brewer one and two shots behind. Tobacco in hair, shampoo in mouth Dave Gasser's greatest feat Friday night wasn't Intercepting a pass and running it back to set up the touchdown which enabled Eskimos to beat Saskatchewan Roughriders 16-12. Linebackers, even Gasser, have intercepted passes before. But what human has ever managed to stuff chew ished two strokes ahead of Canadian Open champion Bob Charles of New Zealand and American golfing millionaire Jack Nicklaus.

Nicklaus and Charles tied for second place at 291. CHARGED HARD Nicklaus, playing with Player over Carnoustie's chilly, wind-whipped links, made a strong charge but could not pick up ground. He had a last-round 73. Charles, the left-hander who won this title in 1963 and who started the day only one shot back of the front-running Billy Casper, faltered on the final round, shooting 76. Casper, who led through the second and third rounds, skied to an outgoing 40 and never was able to move back into contention.

On the 490-yard 14th, where Player canned his decisive eagle from five feet, Casper drove out of bounds and took a double one-over-par six. That was the telling blow. He had a 78 for 292. It was the first major victory for Player since he won the U.S. Open at St.

After both sides had counted on good, long field goals, it took Cary Lefebvre to put the Eskies into a 106 lead in the second quarter.

Peter Kempf converted. Lefebvre took a deep pass at the Regina 15, right out of the hands of defender Bob Kosid, and deaked into the end zone just like he'd been doing it for years.

The convert attempt was wide. Bill Goods, with two converts, completed Regina's scoring. No story of the game would be complete without recounting the job Joe Hernandez did on defence. Even Lancaster didn't try too often to fool him. If anyone doubts that Edmonton still intends to count on its defence, just take a look at the statistics.

The Roughriders picked up 317 yards to Edmonton's 149. Silas McKinnie is a name to watch. He was good, almost great for the Roughies. Randy Furch, Craig Scog-gins and Bruce Coslet could bear watching for Edmonton fans. rt i psi 7 YLV 4UU ing tobacco in his mouth with one hand, spread shampoo on his head with the other and carry on a conversation all at the same time while stark naked.

Any other mortal would have finished with tobacco in hair, shampoo in mouth and arrest for indecent exposure. But Gasser and the rest of the Eskimo defence were doing things right Friday night. Right enough to limit Saskatchewan to six points.

Stockton, who will take a chance when he sees an opening, charged into the lead when he fired a 67 following an opening-round 68 Thursday for a nine-under-par 135.

"Sometimes I charge and sometimes I play safe," said Stockton after shooting his 67 on the par-72 North Shore Country Club course. "But I'm a better golfer charging." Stockton's hot putter turned in five birdies, including a pair of 20-footers as he shot by Dave Marad, who was nine under after 29 holes but collapsed in the stretch. Balmy, windless weather produced another rash of sub-par rounds as 51 golfers smashed par.

The slender second baseman broke up a tight 1-1 game when he slarnmed a triple to deep left field and stole home seconds later, giving Beta Well Riggers a 2-1 victory over Rex Underwood.

The victory helped tighten the five-team first division giving fourth-place Riggers 15 points, only five less than league-leading Newman-Hender Oilers. Stan Kern kept the Rexmen under control, throwing a two-hitter at them in gaining the victory. He struck out 14 and walked two.

The boisterous Gasser, who hails from Pennsylvania, California and Texas (in that order) was describing his interception in a voice louder than the thunderclap which shook the stadium at half time.

"I would have gone all the way, only I held my breath when I caught the ball and didn't breathe until I hit the ground. "Just ran out of breath. Otherwise I go all the way. Yes sir! Just ran out!" 'Stingy Dozen' stood out The sophmore linebacker stopped to reload with tobacco at this point and it was suggested that he had tripped over teammate John LaGrone. "Not me," replied the defensive tackle," I threw my block early so I wouldn't have to run far." The Eskimo defence was entitled to talk it up a bit, having redeemed themselves after a sloppy performance in a 28-3 opening exhibition loss to Calgary.

1 So was the Eskimo offence entitled to relax a little, at least until the next exhibition game in Winnipeg Monday. The game was typical of the way Eskimos are going to have to win this season. With solid defence and adequate offence. There is no doubt that "The Stingy Dozen," as the Eskimo defence is known, contributed the most to the win over Saskatchewan. Veterans, such as halfback Joe Hernandez, came up with important plays every time Saskatchewan threatened.

Hernandez tipped one touchdown-bound pass away in the Eskimo end zone at the last moment. He intercepted another Saskatchewan pass, missed another when the wet ball squirted loose and jarred several Rough-rider receivers out of sure completions. Lisbon tonics on strong i The Eskimo offence also appears to have acquired some polish since the opening disaster. Quarterback Frank Cosentino had the heat on him, Started cautiously and then managed the plays that counted, like the scoring passes to Jim Thomas and Gary Lefebvre. Lefebvre made an unusual play in the end zone when he snatched what appeared to be an interception out of the hands of a Saskatchewan defender and kept it for a touchdown.

The Eskimo running backs, Thomas, Art Perkins and Don Lisbon, with adequate blocking could be the best trio in the Canadian League. Lisbon especially has surprised and now appears to be a cinch to beat out rookie challengers. Coach Armstrong said: "We gave a good effort and we made mistakes." Mistakes such as all-star defensive back John Wydareny. leaving hisvzone and causing a long completion which resulted in a Saskatchewan field goal aren't likely to happen again. Other mistakes, such as rookie quarterback Charlie Fulton fumbling to set up a Saskatchewan touchdown are calculated risks when trying new players.

There is one mistake, however, which Armstrong should work on correcting at once. If he can only teach Dave Gasser to remember to breathe, the defence might score even more MKKClltV SAI.KS I.T1.
