sy, e2 Castlegar News october 21, 1987 SPORTS SURREY, B.C. (CP) — The British Columbia Lions want more points scored in the Canadian Football League. In an effort to increase entertainment value to fans, B.C. general manager Joe Galat proposed several rule changes Tuesday during a private meeting with CFL commissioner Doug Mitchell in Vancouver. “We need to soup up the offence,” Galat said later during the team’s weekly news conference at its subur ban headquarters. “I've made some of the proposals before and I'll continue to lobby for changes.” Galat wants the hash marks, now located 24 yards from each sideline, moved closer to the centre of the field to “create more big plays.” The CFL playing field is 65 yards wide, leaving 17 yards between the hash marks. “Our surveys show that most of the big plays come when the ball is snapped near the middle of the field,” Galat said. despite one of the least productive offences in the CFL. B.C. is ranked fourth in scoring with 26.9 points a game and sixth in net offence with 327.5 yards a game, HOLDING COUNTS Galat also wants a new definition of holding by offensive linemen. “Holding should be called only when it's pertinent to the play,” he said. “We need some new language in the rules about holding calls.” The Lions are one of the most penalized teams in the CFL with 1,196 yards in infractions, second only to the 1,258 yards accumulated by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who have the best overall record in the CFL at 11-4. The B.C. general manager also wants excessive physical contact by defensive backs with receivers made illegal downfield. “After five yards (from the line of scrimage), contact should not be allowed,” Galat said. “That would give the smaller, quicker receivers more room to run their pass Lions want to soup up offences patterns.” Galat said he was opposed to a suggestion from an unnamed Eastern Division team that the CFL, move to a four-down game from the present format of three downs. The National Football League uses the four-down system on a much smaller playing field. POST PROBLEM CFL general managers also are considering moving the goal posts to the back of the 20-yard end zones to increase the difficulty of kicking field goals, he said. The goal posts now are located at the goal line. In the NFL the posts are at the back of a 10-yard end zone. Galat would support elimination of the single point from missed field goals when the ball is not run out of the end zone by the defending team, but wants the single point on punted balls retained. defence. Galat is a member of the CFL rules committee which is headed by Mitchell and meets every January at the h-of-the-year banquet in Other members of the committee are secretary Greg Fulton of the CFL office in Toronto, Don Barker and Neil Payne representing the CFL game officials, Greg Fieger of the CFL Players’ Association, and CFL general managers Leo Cahill of the Toronto Argonauts, Hugh Campbell of the Edmonton Eskimos, Cal Murphy of Winnipeg, Paul Robson of the Ottawa Rough Riders and Joe Zuger of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Earl Lunsford, general manager of the Calgary Stampeders, was a member of the rules committee until he was fired by the Stamps in August.

The foen is a southerly wind sweeping up and over the Zillertal Alps from near. by Italy. As warm as the Chinook wind Calgary Olym pic organizers dread, - it's wrecking Currie’s three. week training camp. “We had some snow up on the glacier last week, but since then the warm weather has us back down to skiing on black ice,” Chapman said Tuesday, adding that “we never race on black ice, so the training here so far has not been very realistic.” Chapman and the 12 women he has already picked as his Calgary squad had better luck during the sum- mer in Chile. “We had full winter condi. tions there and we could really see how well people are doing,” said the veteran coach.

TEAM FACES FOLDING Riders have ‘last shot’ OTTAWA (CP) — The Ottawa Rough Riders have taken off their rose-tinted glasses and the Canadian Football League they see isn't what they thought was there. Faced with the prospect of the cash-poor franchise fold- ing, team president Bruce Hillary said Tuesday “this is indeed our last shot, there's no doubt about that. “We won't be making moves any more because Three Jays all-stars TORONTO (CP) — Tor- onto Blue Jays’ outfielder George Bell, left-handed pit- cher Jimmy Key and relief pitcher Tom Henke were named to American League we're optimistic.

Lions got a break on Tuesday from a seemingly unlikely fan — the B.C. government. Premier Bill Vander Zalm said Tuesday the Credit government is going to help pay off the club's def- icit, projected by club offi- cials to be about $2 million. Vander Zalm said other CFL clubs — six of which have at least partial public ownership — are in line to receive financial aid from their provincial govern- ments. Social 8. The deficit figure for the Lions could reach $2.5 million if TV revenue falls below ex- pectations and fans don't come out to the Lions’ single remaining home game, Nov. The issue will be settled at today’s provincial cabinet meeting in Vancouver. Vander Zalm did not say what form the assistance would take, but one method would be to forgive the rent on the government-owned B.C. Place Stadium.
