Three make the win

TORONTO (CP) — John
O'Leary ran for three touch-
downs to give Montreal
Alouettes a 28-25 win over
Toronto Argonauts and first
place in the Eastern Football
Conference Tuesday night.

O'Leary, a_ third-year
Canadian Football League
pro, scored on runs of four
and five yards in the second
quarter a3 the Als rallied
from a 10-0 firstquarter
deficit, and added his third
score on a one-yard plunge
early in the third quarter.

The win put the Als alone
in first place in the EFC with
five victories in eight games
for 10 points, two ahead of
Toronto.

Don Sweet added two field
@oals and three converts,
and Wally Buono had a punt
single to round out the
ecoring for the Als,

Running back Terry
Metcalf scored two touch-
downs on passes from
qyarterback Tony Adams
and Adams connected on
another major score on sloat-
back Dan Huclack, Ian
Sunter booted a field goal, a
single and three field goals

While Adams had im-
pressive passing statistics,
completing 27 of 39 attempts
for 297 yards, turnovers
proved costly for the Argas.

The Argos mounted a
comeback of their own in the
last half of the final quarter
with Adams throwing six
yards to Metcalf and five
yards for Huclack’s score,
but therally fizzled against a
determined Als defence,

Soon after Metcalf's touch-
down, Montreal's Jim
Burrow intercepted an
Adams’ pass to set up
Sweet's second field goal
from 27 yards and putting
the Als in front 28-18 with less
than two minutes remaining.

The Alouettes, victims of a
penalty call and an in-
terception that helped give
Toronto a 10-0 first-quarter
lead, started their rally with
O'Leary's two  second-
quarter touchdowns and
Sweet's 30-yard fleld goal.

Sweet boated his field goal
at the end of a seven-play
march that had started in the
first quarter. Less than two
minutes later Sunter booted
a 56-yard punt single to In-
creasé Toronto's lead to 11-3,

However, then next time
he got to punt, Sunter
shanked a short one and a no-
yard’s penity against the
Argos gave Montreal the ball
on the Toronto 22. Three
plays later, O'Leary took a
handoff and made the four-

yard plunge for his first

touchdowns.

Late in the second quarter,
Montreal took over the ball
on the Toronte43 and
O'Leary made a spectacular
one-handed catch of a
Barnes pass to pick up 38
yards and set up his fiveyard
run for the second touch-
down,

Torento’s firat touchdown
on a 10-yard Adams pass to
Metcalf was set up when
Montreal’s Dickie Harris
was called for pass in-
terference agalnst ‘rovunto
receiver Dwight Edwards in
the Montreal end zone. Sun-
ter’s 39-yard field goal,
which made the score 10-0,
came three plays after
defensive back Mike Kramer
picked off a Barnes pass.

Toronto's Paul Bennett

fumbled on the kickolf.

Club has hammer

PHILADELPHIA (AP) —
The worm has turned in the
National Hockey League as
Brian Propp, 8 No, 1 dratt
choice, learned in signing
with Philadelphia Flyers.

The club, not the player,
wields the negotiating
hammer these days as a
result of the World Hockey
Association going out of
business.

The Flyers announced
Tuesday the signing of
Propp, four other draft picks
and a@ free agent, They also
disclosed that Bernie
Parent, their one-tlme
premier goaltender forced to
retire because of an eye

ury, has been made an
assistant coach.

Other playera signed in
addition to winger Propp
were defenceman Blake
Weasley, winger-centre
Lindsay Caraon, winger Don
Gillen, winger Gordie
Williams and free agent
Fred Willams, a centre.

Contract terms were not

loped

Bill Watters of Toronto,
who negotiated Propp's
contract, said No. 1 draft
choices are getting about éo
per cent of what they could

demand before merger.
Another change Is that
draftees are signed to what
has become known as the
two-way contract. If they
make the NHL club, they get
the full contract. If they're
sent to the minors, they get
half. Previously, if they were
sent to the minors, they still
collected the full amount.

“Tt certainly is a new ball
game," Watters said. “The
last two weeks I've
discovered I have to rely
atrongly on my relationship
with the genera] managers."

Watters is assistani to
Alan Eagleson, head of the
NHL Players’ Association,
and has assumed much of
the contract negotiations
formerly conducted by
Eagleson,

“The Important thing is to
try and get 8 signing bonus

" eyual to the length of the

contract,” Watters said. “If
the contract isn’t satisfac-
tory, we sign for one year
and take an option and then
get out. It's certainly dif-
ferent to hammer out a con-
tract (now).”

They gave up the ball three
times on fumbles and two on
interceptions, spoiling their
total offence of 366 yards.

The Als, who gave up just
one fumble and one in-
terception, had total offence
of 262 yards, including 127
yards passing by Joe Bar-
nes, who was good on 11 of 37.

O'Leary was one of his
favorite targets, picking up
44 yards on two receptions as
well as 43 yards rushing on 12
carries,

Barnes also went to wide
receiver Bob Gaddis for five
completions and 52 yards.
Tight end Peter Dalla Riva,
returning to the Als lineup
following an injury layoff,
did not catch a pass.

Davbid Green added 79
yards on 16 carries to heip
boost Montreal's total
rushing yardage to 152, while
Metcalf and the other Argos
rushers gained only 77 yards.
