Calgary Sees $3.50
Chance at LeBaron
BY the Assoe,oied Press

CALGARY, Alberta, Jan. 81
The Calgary Stampeders think
they have a $3.50 chance of
wooing Quarterback Eddie Le-
Baron from the Washington
Redskins, Manager Bob Robinett
said today. But the Canadian
club official, who also is quarter
back for the team, said Calgary
doesn't want to cause ANY hos
tilities between the two leagues
in its negotiations with the
player.
Robinett said the Stampeders
have talked to LeBaron. The
Canadian team recently sigred
Larry Siemering as head coach.
Siemering was the Redskins
line coach last year and coached
LeBaron at College of Pacific.
Redskins officials doubt If Le-
Baron will jump to the Canadian
League for several reasons. First,
Eddie has weekly radio pro-
gram dealing chiefly with Ma
tional League football, which he
might have to give up if he
transferred to Canada. Second,
he would have to play defense
as well as offense in Canada.
Finally. the Canadians schedule
of Saturday and Sunday games
would be extremely wearing on
LeBaron's kicking.
When Eddie is slated to kick
for the Redskins he does no
kicking the day before to rest
his leg,

LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. ~
Kentucky was ready today to bow
to the rule that could wreck It's

ship dreams.
The rule, which outlaws grad
uate students in the NCAA play
offs. is expected to rob the Ma

Lou Tsioropoulos.
discrepancies has completed
his bachelors degree work. Ha-
gan. an All-American center, and
Ramsey expect to receive their
degrees before the NCAA elimi-
nations.
DR.. H. L. Donovan, university
president. said last night the
school will abide by the rule and
ANY other rule"
He also said any attempt to
have Hagan and Ramsey with
draw from a course or two to de-
lay their eligibility for degrees
would be considered ''ill-ad-
viSed."
Baked In Reaching Goal.
So Kentucky. coming back
strong after year on the side
lines for over-emphasizing bas-
ketball. apparently has had the
door to its comeback goal-a ma
tional championship - slammed
in its face.
DR.. Donovan and others at
Kentucky admit the school was
'tripped up by rule in its own
Southeastern Conference which
permits graduate students to
participate in varsity sports.
A standard rule among college
athletic conferences is four years
play within five years. It is in
restricting eligibility to under
graduates that most conferences
differ from the Southeast. the
Atlantic Coast and the South
ern Conferences.
Kentucky'S next move, DR..
Donovan said, will be up to the
schools athletic board, FREEDOM
mated by faculty members. If
the school should qualify for the
NCAA by winning the Southeast
title, he said, the board most
likely will ask the NCAA's Eligi-
bility Committee for a ruling on
the questioned players.
Two Reserves Return.
A little sunshine broke through
the Kentucky clouds yesterday
when two of its reserve hopefuls
returned to the practice floor.
Although setting a fast pace all
season, the Wildcats bench has
been crippled by injuries to key
reserves.
Jerry Bird. q sophomore and
Hagan's understudy who was
sidelined by a chest ailment De-
cember ID, shot goals for IS
minutes.
Willie Rouse. a topfiight junior
guard, out all season because, of
q knee operation, also shot a
few goals.
Kentucky is undecided wheth-
er 1t might try for the national
crown without Hagan, Ramsey
and Therapeutics.
1t must first win a claim to
the Southeastern title and seems
headed toward a tie with
Louisiana State, a strong rival
that is not on its schedule. If
both go through their IA con-
ference games unbeaten, Com
missioner Bernie Moore will
choose a neutral floor for play
off.
