SPORTS The Battalion • Page 11 NHL training camps remain open lockout by owners still a possibility without collective bargaining (AP)- Several NHL players re ending their holdouts, possi- ly feeling if they don’t, they ight be locked out. With training camps opening his week, but no collective bar- aining agreement in place, a ockout of players by owners is possibility. Right wing Cam Neely, who ants to be an unrestricted free gent next season, agreed to a ne-year deal with the Boston ruins on Tuesday. Edmonton got two holdouts nto camp, agreeing with de- 'enseman Luke Richardson on a wo-year contract, and goal- ender Bill Ranford on a one- ear deal. Both were expected to eport to training camp today. Ranford, 27, who earned $1.2 illion last season, became a ree agent this summer. Oilers general manager Glen ather said talks with Ranford ere deadlocked largely over he issue of whether the goal- Itender would be paid in Cana dian or U.S. dollars. Buffalo decided to hold on to injured center Pat LaFontaine for at least five more years, making him the fourth-highest paid play er in the game in the process. LaF'ontaine, who missed most of last season with a serious knee injury, was the NHL’s second- leading scorer two seasons ago. The Sabres are trying to in sure the deal in case LaFontaine is hurt again. Reports say he will earn $22.5 million over five years. Neely, one of the league’s top goal-scorers despite a succession of serious injuries, ended his brief holdout and agreed to a one-year contract. Neely scored 50 goals in 49 games before a right knee injury on March 22 ended his season. He was limited by injury to 22 games the previous two seasons, but scored 20 goals. Neely and the Bruins report edly reached agreement earlier on a base salary of $1.4 million, with incentives that could add $1 million. Philadelphia made a long ex pected move in choosing center Eric Lindros as captain. Defenseman Yan Gol ubovsky, Detroit’s top pick in the June NHL draft, signed a multiyear contract. Pittsburgh opened camp with a big task ahead: Replacing Mario Lemieux. Lemieux, a six-time All Star and hockey’s most dominant play er when healthy, has decided to sit out this season to regain strength following four years of persistent medical problems. Considering the Penguins’ two consecutive early playoff de feats, Lemieux’s job might not be the only one filled before the Oct. 1 season opener against the Chicago Blackhawks. Some veterans’ jobs may be in danger, and they know it. The Stanley Cup champions re-signed left wing Mark Os borne, who played for them for 3 1/2 seasons in the mid-1980s. Osborne, 33, played for Toronto last season, totaling nine goals and 15 assists in 73 games. He has appeared in 882 NHL games and has 527 points, with 211 goals and 316 assists. ball strife; vice-presidentf: Wendy Selig-Pte ment lawyer Chun sing that theymai posal to our origin; rris said earlier, olayers from ttf )tiating committef be headed to & Galloway suspended for two days COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) I— Ohio State wide receiver Joey Galloway, who passed up the NFL to stay return to the Buck eyes for his senior year, was sus pended Wednesday for two games for accepting money from a financial planner. The NCAA said Galloway is I ineligible to play the next two igames, including No. 18 Ohio I State’s game Saturday at No. 25 I Washington. The university said Galloway received $200 from a financial ad viser when he was considering whether to make himself avail able to the NFL draft in January. “When I took the money, I considered myself 100 percent leaving college football,’’ Gal loway said at a news conference. “Then I went home and changed my mind about deciding to leave and I didn’t repay the money.” He would not say who the ad viser was. He said he repaid the money last week with an undis closed amount of interest. “Obviously I feel very bad for our football team and I feel bad for Joey,” coach John Cooper said at the news conference. “What does this do to our foot ball team? I’ve talked to the team about this already, we’ve got to circle our wagons and pick up the slack.” Ld fe Diener continued from Page 9 And when Leeland runs back the opening kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown, I will not be able to cap it off with a resounding imi tation of ABC announcer Keith Jackson bellowing: “Oh lemme tell ya about LEELAND MACK- L-ROY.’’ That woultT get me Tossed out of the Box faster than my 11th grade history teacher tossed me out of her class, when during a lecture, 1 told her that she reminded me of a bad lounge singer. All these restrictions put upon members of the press. Still wanna be a sportswriter? Maybe? O.K. let me get back to the point of this column, if in deed there is one. If Leeland and Rodney fulfill my prophecy and rush for a combined 750 yards and 15 touchdowns, I’ll wish I had a date. Covering the game from the pressbox equals no date which equals no kiss after a score, unless I want to kiss the guy sitting next to me who is still belching up the barbecue. I may be hard up for a little face sucking but I seriously doubt I’d want to do that. Come to think of it ,while I’m still on the subject of kiss ing, I never kissed my date af ter an Aggie score anyway. Afid you know what? Come to think of it, I never even had a date to a game either. Oh well, 1 guess the no date-no kiss problem really does not apply to me. However, maybe it does to my Batt sports buddies, Dave and Nick. Will they kiss one another? Cross that bridge when they get to it I guess. Back to the main focus... If indeed I was allowed to show emotion from the press- box, opposing players wouldn’t be able to hear me heckle, refs wouldn’t be able to hear me ar gue a qall, Corey wouldn’t be able to hear me tell him who is covered and who is open, and R.C. wouldn’t be able to hear tell him what play to run. Nev er had to worry about that when I was standing in my fa miliar seat: Row 800, third deck, seat 1000, goal line. As much as I’d like to be out there with you, the members of the 12th Man, the Spirit of Ag- gieland, I cannot. Drew Diener, sportswriter, has got a job to do. Come Mon day, I am expected to report to you why Oklahoma’s defense gave up over 1900 yards and why after a 235-6 victory, the Aggies are only ranked sixth in the country. That’s my duty, and being the Eagle Scout that I am, 1 must fulfill my duty to you, the student body of Texas A&M University. Don’t fret, however, because Drew Diener, red-ass Ag, will be sweating his nasty pits off with you in spirit, looking on as the maroon and white roll to victory. Donald B.
