B4 THE PANTAGRAPH, MONDAY, NOV. 28, 1983 wzrrz irTT" Canadians asks for extra Olympic events W.v,. if SM i It i lis iij'- i vision contracts for the Winter and Summer Games of 1988. A bigger program might pull in more television revenue at Calgary. IOC members are thinking in terms of $200 million in television rights at Calgary, and at least $400 million from the 1988 Summer Games at Seoul.

Curling is one of Canada's national sports. But the Olympic Charter says that an Olympic sport must be practiced in at least 25 countries, and the Canadians could have a job making out a case for this ancient sport, resembling lawn bowls on ice and played with a flat round stone. In Europe they play a lot of curling in Scotland, the Scandinavian countries, Holland, Germany and Switzerland. But that, plus Canada and the United States, is not enough to qualify it for inclusion at Calgary unless the Charter is radically changed. That could happen before this time next year.

The other Canadian member of the IOC, James Worrall, has been given the job of rewriting LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) The Canadians want to expand the Winter Olympics by three extra events and three extra days. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is looking into the idea following a proposition by Richard Pound, Canadian member of its executive board. Calgary is scheduled to host the Winter Games in 1988. The Canadians want to spread it over 15 days instead of 12. And they want to include curling as a full Olympic sport and short track speed skating and artistic skiing as demonstration sports with no Olympic medals at stake.

The IOC board, which met in Lausanne last week, looked favorably on the idea and referred it all to the IOC's Program Commission. Whatever is decided, any changes will not apply to the 1984 Winter Games to be held in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, in February. Pound, one of the up-and-coming younger members of the IOC, has been given the job of heading an IOC commission to negotiate tele N.C. State takes Alaska Shootout the Charter. It has been much changed and amended in recent years.

The IOC has set an immediate budget for 1984 of 70 million Swiss francs about $33 million.

Palmer, Player lend drama to Skins Game ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) Terry Gannon's 15 points paced a balanced Wolfpack attack as defending champion North Carolina State defeated 14th-ranked Arkansas 6540 last night to capture the sixth annual Great Alaska Shootout. Freshman Tim McCalister burned Santa Clara for 31 points as 20th-ranked Oklahoma snared third Lakers edge Bulls by 3 and missed from 25 feet. Then Nicklaus faced a flat, straight putt of 20 feet. A deathly silence descended over the desert. "Sure did get quiet, didn't it?" Nicklaus asked.

"Go ahead and putt," Palmer said. "You always liked to play fast, didn't you?" Jack responded, and took his time lining it up. And it lipped out; hit the hole and took a right turn. And Arnold, the man who grabbed the game of golf in the late 1950s and single-handed thrust it into the public awareness, had won the biggest prize of his 3-dec-ade career, $100,000. It was the high-point of the day.

"After that, everything went dead," Palmer said. "After that, I didn't know what I was doing until we got to the 18th." The next four holes were halved, with Nicklaus and Player matching strokes with pars on the 13th and 15th and birdies on the 14th, folowed by Player and Watson with pars on the 16th. The carry-overs set up the par-5 17th with a $150,000 price tag. Nicklaus got it pin-high in the fringe in two. Player had a short drive, played his next down the fairway then flipped a little pitch to within 3Vz feet of the cup.

Nicklaus played down to about eight feet and needed that for a birdie. Again, however, he missed. And Player quickly rapped his home for a winner. "That's the fastest I ever saw Gary move," Nicklaus said. "He wasn't going to look at anybody, give anybody the chance to give him the needle.

That's the fastest I ever saw him play." After the two big-money holes, the 18th was something of an anticlimax. Nicklaus won it with a 5-foot putt for birdie-4. goal to draw the Argos to within five points at 17-12. Toronto went for a two-point conversion following their winning TD, but Barnes' pass fell incomplete. Texas-Arlington star Roy Dewalt had given B.C.

(AP) Elder statemen Arnold Palmer and Gary Player briefly recaptured the glory of an earlier era of golfing greatness and converted two lighting thrusts into winning of one-quarter million dollars yesterday in golf's Skins Game. "Isn't it amazing, Arnold? Here we've been playing for more than 30 years and it's our greatest day ever," said Player, 48, who led the money-winners with $170,000, including $150,000 on the 17th hole alone. Later, the little South African rancher, who hasn't won on the American tour since 1978, said the unique event provided him with some personal vindication. "People think I can't play anymore," he said. "That's why it was so pleasing to me to be able to play so well in this show." He actually played the best of the foursome, shooting a 4-under-Rar 32 on his own ball over the final nine holes of the 2-day televised event.

But the drama, as it seemed to do so often so many years ago, belonged to the still-dynamic Palmer, now 54 and a non-winner on the regular Tour for more than a' decade. I "I'd never won more than $50,000 in any tournament before, and today I come up with $100,000," Palmer said. "It's a whole different feeling." Palmer, calling on the half -remembered magic that once was his alone, provided the highlight of the day when he coaxed a 35-foot putt, up and over a 4-foot swale and into a cup-circling birdie that was worth $100,000 on the 12th hole. 'For the two days he won $140,000, more than he'd collected for all his Masters and U.S. and British Open triumphs combined, and more than he'd won in any year on the U.S.

tour since 1971. Jack Nicklaus, 43, who designed the Desert Highlands course in Ari with a 91-77 victory. The victory made N.C. State 40 this season, and was the Wolfpack's 13th straight win, dating back to last year's drive to the championship. It's the longest winning streak in major college basketball.

It's also the second Shootout title for N.C. State, which won the inaugural tournament in 1978, known then as the Seawolf Classic. ball Association game last night. Guard Earvin "Magic" Johnson had a game-high 29 points, along with 12 assists and eight rebounds to spur the Lakers to their 11th victory in 15 games. minutes 39 seconds.

Teammate John Slavonic was runnerup in 1:52.33, followed by Gerard Austin of the New York Masters in 1:53.09. Maryanne Torellas of Clinton, holder of American records at 1 mile, 10 kilometers and 3,000 meters, captured the women's title in 1:54.27.

Showket, driving a Mazda GLC, never was challenged after series champion and pole-sitter Joe Varde went out early with mechanical problems in his Dodge Charger. The winner, averaging 98.137 mph in the 75-mile race around Daytona International Speedway's 3.84-mile road course, crossed the finish line 17.7 seconds ahead of second-place David Frellsen's Nissan Sentra.

Kriek takes S. African Open South African-born Johan Kriek needed five sets to end the upset march of unseeded Briton Colin Dowdeswell in the final yesterday of the South African Open Tennis Tournament. The sixth-seeded Kriek, now residing in the United States, won the title 64, 44, 1-6, 7-5, 6-3 in a match that lasted three hours. Dowdeswell seemed to run out of steam after taking the third set 6-1 in just 19 minutes, breaking Kriek's serve in the fourth and sixth games. DIXON'S SALE 5 BIG DAYS TUES.

Tom Watson, 34, the dominant player in golf over the last few years, got his only skin on the first hole of play and finished two days with $10,000. The rules for this first-of-its-kind affair called for the first six holes to carry a value of $10,000 each, the next six $20,000 and the last six $30,000. If there was no winner on a hole, the money carried over to the next hole.

The first big carry-over of the final day actually began when the eighth and ninth holes were halved Saturday, with the money carried over. Player and Watson halved the 10th in par, and halved the 11th with birdie-4s, Watson scoring from eight feet and Player nursing in a 4-foot second putt to force the carry-over. "Jack, you ought to pay me $5,000 for that one," Gary joked. But it was Palmer, who had experienced various adventures including a prickly venture into a cactus that forced him to hit a shot left-handed, who reaped the benefit of the carry-over. It put a value of $100,000 on the 12th hole, a par-3.

Watson missed from 40 feet. Palmer was next, and, after that old, familiar hitch of his britches, he ran the 10-yard-plus putt over a swale, watched in fascination as it took a full circle around the cup before falling in. "I watched Arnold and he was hopping around like Fred Astaire," Player said. "I've never seen him like that." "Where are all my friends now?" Palmer asked in mock indignation. But there were still two men, Player and Nicklaus, with shorter birdie putts left.

If either made it, the hole would be halved. Player didn't have the right line Barnes, the former Texas Tech star, flipped a 3-yard touchdown pass to running back Cedric Minter just as he stepped into the left corner of the end zone of the only domed stadium in Canada and the newest one in North America.
