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.

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.”

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.
