Urges Aloueltes -To Stay in Air
.'llf).V'l'Rl-JAL ICPJ - Peahead .n the air when they clash with the Cats.
li'il8 is reported strategy for Sat urda.v's Pblyoff game between his Montreal Alouetles and the invad- ers-Hamilton Tiger -' Cats-for the championship ot the Big Four Football League. The winner meets the western champ for the Grey Cup.
Walker, who only gets his proper j th
first name. Douglas, when he signs contracts--which are long-term-- told Alouettes Wednesday that Sat- urday is anything but a cinch.
Walker said t wet the Ticats will be tough to handle.
NINE LIVES? True. Alouettes are leading Ti-. cats by nine points in the two-l game total-points serlesi But this didn't impress Walker. who mut- tered about the nine lives that Cats are supposed to have. and also the size of Sam Etcheverry's hand. especially when it is wet and clainmy. , "Sam can't throw a heavy ball because his hand is too small." said Walker, "We would have to go on the ground and they would have us there." it is possible that coach Jim Trunble of Ticats will lot this statement down among the notes he took on his just-finished scout- ing trip to Edmonton, apparently under the impression that Ticata will be meeting the Western win- ' ner. Champ of the wheat country , will be decided Saturday in a final game between Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan Roughrldcrl.
