Tomorrow Night: Ah, Wilderness!

NEW YORK (AP) - Spurning what
the Buffalo Bills called "an offer in ex-
cess of any ever sought by a No. 1 draft
choice," All-America linebacker Tom
Cousineau signed yesterday with the
Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian
Football League.
Cousineau signed a multi-year con-
tract, with terms of the agreement
unannounced, although it was disclosed
that the Alouettes offered more money
than the Bills, who had made the Ohio
State star the top selection in the
National Football League draft in May.
Negotiations continued until early
yesterday morning before Cousineau
agreed to Montreal's terms. Jimmy
Walsh, Cousineau's attorney, said
negotiations "went back and forth for
weeks."
The 22-year-old Cousineau, a solid 6-3,
227-pounder, didn't put much stock in
the fact he was the first No. 1 selection
in the NFL draft ever to sign with a
CFL team.
"It's a possibility it will set a
precedent," he said. "But that's not
why I did it. It was the best move for
me; Montreal is the best place for Tom
Cousineau to go.

I'm no exception but this is a very
positive move."
