"You're talking about your life. I have a lot more U.S. Opens to play in, but I have only one life." With that in mind, he invoked the lightning rule and declined to tee off at his appointed time.

The Penguins need about $400,000 by the end of August to pay player contracts or face the possibility of the players becoming free agents. Another $200,000 would go to the IRS as payment toward $500,000 owed it, and the rest would be used for interim administrative expenses, including promotion of the season ticket sales.

Eskimos are expected to go into their Sunday intras-quad game without a single cut. One player who won't be seeing any action in the game is fullback Calvin Har-rell. He had an operation six weeks ago on a cartilage.

Edmonton Eskimos, with the arrival of Leroy Jones late Friday, now have all veterans present and accounted for.

Ben Hatskin, chief executive officer and chairman of the board, announced that the league has adopted recommendations of the rules committee relating to icing, third man in a fight and delay of game by goaltenders. Icing the puck will no longer be called where it applies to short-handed situations. This eliminates one of the WHA's original rules where a team playing short-handed was not allowed to Ice the puck.

It's strictly a financial thing." Jauch had no explanation for Jones missing three days of camp while his agent was phoning general manager Norm Kimball, in Kimball's words "playing all the angles." "He had some personal problems," was how Jauch put it. "He has no interest in discussing anything about it." Jauch said Jones "was not unhappy playing here and, if the club can work it out, might play in Edmonton for the rest of his career. It certainly isn't the allure of the NFL. 'if we can work it out." Jauch added, "remains to be seen." At any rate, Jones can't play in the NFL this year even if he gets cut tomorrow. An NFL rule prohibits a player joining the league once he has attented a CFL training camp.

He was reported wanting to play this season for the Rams. Eskimos, who still have the option year on his contract remaining, blocked that attempt.

"I think it's possible we'll work everything out and that Leroy will play here for more than one more season," said Jauch after a long discussion with the player. "The problem is now the books the third man. The referee now has the option of issuing no penalty, awarding a two-minute minor, a five-minute major or a 10-minute misconduct. The delay-of-game rule as it applies to goaltenders has not been changed. However, the rules committee headed by Buck Houle of Toronto Toros recommends that the existing rule be more strictly enforced in situations where the goaltender falls on the puck or gloves it without cause.

Hatskin, here for a meeting of the league's general managers, also announced that a committee of Jack Vivian of Cleveland, Joe Crozier of Calgary and Rudy Pilous of Winnipeg has been formed to determine a new rule relative to rookie-of-the-year eligibility requirements.
