'tanight when Hamilton: Tiger-Cats en- tertain Calgary Stampeders. It Will mark the third pre- season outing for both clubs, so head coaches John Payne of Hamilton and Jack Gotta of Calgary probably have moat of their starting class set. But there are a few assign- ments still to be decided before the final cut to 33 players — 13 Canadians and 15 ~—s imports. The 8 p.m, EDT game will give Payne an opportunity to check three new. players — corner back Harold Woods, defensive tackle Eary Jones and veteran running back Art Green. Stampeders, on the other hand, will test thelr offensive line against what offensive coordinator Ardell Wiegandt sees as a formidable defence. + The only other exhibition game tonight is in Van- couver where Winnipeg Blue ."Bombers visit - British Columbia Lions. * Woods's arrival climaxed a series of moves by the when they shipped speedster Waddell Smith back to Edmonten Eskimos in ex- change for corner back Leroy Paul. Paul, a rookie from Texas Southern, then was sent to Saskatchewan Roughriders in a deal that brought Jones, a 6-foot-4, 260-pound defensive . tackle from Memphis State, to Hamilton, The Ticats, who were one Ticats that started Friday «player under the 45-man we Expanded NHL meet routine NEW YORK (CP) — The the annual allstar. game, Feb. 4,.

The question of lowering the draft age of- junior players remained unsettled. NHL president John Ziegler said the all-star game will be played between all-stars of the Prince of Walea and the Clarence Cainpbell Conferences, as it was two years ago. ‘| "The NHL also will. invite the Canadian and United States Olympic hockey ‘teams to play each other as part of a doubleheader exhibition series in the new Detroit rink. Ziegler said the idea of giving the Olympic teams a Tole against the NHL all- stars was discussed but dropped. Ziegler said there probably would be a period or two of play between the Canadian and U.S. Olympic squads to complement the program. Voting for the firat time as full-fledged members were the four new expansion franchises from the World Hockey Association — Winnipet Jets, Edmonton Oilers, Quebec Nordiques and Hartford Whalers. Although he said there _ were no issues he could call contentious, Ziegler said the amateur draft question poses diffleult decislons for many people. He said there were no clear proposals as yet although the governors set Aug, 9 as the date for the amateur draft to be con- ducted by telephone from Montreal. The four new teams will select isth, 19th, 20th and 21st. Earlier the WHA clubs had agreed that Hartford would select 18th, followed by Winnlpeg, Quebec City and Edmonton, They all stay In the same spots until the draft is completed. ; The governors also ap- proved the sale of Los Angeles Kings to Dr, Jerry Buss, the California realtor, allowing the transfer of contro! of California Sports Inc. to the new owners, Buss recently completed a $65-million package tran- . saction with Jack Kent Cooke, purchasing the Kings, the Lakers of the National. Basketball Asscclation and the Forum arena at Inglewood, Calif. The NBA last week ap- peoved the transfer of the Laker ownership to Buss. However, the transaction involving the Kings is a two- step one and will require subsequent review by the board, Ziegler said. Buss plans to move the assets including the hockey franchise to his own com- pany at a later dale and at that time the NHL will again examine the transfer NEW YORK (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers signed guard Earvin (Magic) Johnson of , Michigan State, Chicago Bulls. bolstered their front line by drafting forward David.

" The Roughriders needed a cornerback of Paul’s ability after trading veteran Steve ‘Dennis to Ottawa Rough’ Riders as part of an earlier deal that sent quarterback Tom Clement to Saskat- chewan. Hamilton hag lost both its previous exhibition starts by close margins and Payne figures most of the damage has been at the expense of the secondary. He figured Smith, one of the fastest players in the league, was expendable because import receiver David Quehl has done well (eight receptions in a 16-11 loss to B,C. last week) and homebrew Kerry Smith has proved he is a competent deep man with speed equal to Smith’s, The Eskimos were eager to get Smith back since he is “a proven commodity...and - their passing game was hurting with the retirement last week of import receiver George McGowan, an eight- year veteran. The Ticats, concerned with their pass rush in the two earlier games, hope Jones .« will provide that missing element of thelr game. Wiegandt said the Hamilton offence could surprise this year even with two rookie quarterbacks, Ed Smith and Dave Marler, But he said the Eastern Con- ference clup's defence would determine what success the Ticats have this year, “They (the defence) are going. to glve our people all they can handle, I'm sure," said Wiegandt. He said he was Impressed during the film sessions with Ike Thomas, Dave Shaw, Ben Zambiasi and Harry Walters. Veteran guard Harold Holton, who reported late to Calgary’s training camp, is expected to get a good workout, Craig Juntunen, showed excellent credentials in a 45-15 victory over ‘Winnipeg, will start at quarterback against the Ticats.

The Lions are 2-0 after exhibition wins over Ed- monton Eskimos and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Tagge saw his first action against Hamilton, but failed to produce a touchdown in 30 minutes of signal-calling. “You like to have your lineup fairly well set at this - stage,” said head coach Ray Jauch of the Bombers, ‘We made several switches last week and that's how we'll go into the B.C, game. “If everything works out, we won't have to make any further changes until it's me to get down to the regular-season roster."
