Charles P. Barrett. Park Hill, On- tario. who is responsible for the Grattall tribe. in an ad states that he recently sold two of his horses to Nova Scotia and three to Wis- consin, U. S. He still has several others that may be the makings of champions. Charlie is well known to the writer and has handled some of the fastest horses in the world.

TORONTO, mortal footlball teams clash here

orrow in the National final

and tile odds shortened tonight from tile mid-week talk of 2-to-1 on Ottawa Rough Riders against Winnipeg Blue Bombers to the hard cash of even money.

With the forecast of fair and miled weather, there was every indi- cation that 20,000 fans would jam Varsity Stadium t0 watch the re- newal of the East-West classic being fought 0n what are probably the most even terms since ‘it. be- gan 20 years ago. ‘On the eve of

attle both teams were declared fit and ready.

The Bombers were in Hamilton, where they went through two workouts today. and were to arrive here tomorrow morning willie the R/ough Riders came into town to- night and were hustled to their hotel for a good" night's rest. The planning and preliminaries all were over, there was nothing for either team but to wait for the kick-off whistle.

Tomorrow's game was lent sta- tute by the absence of all the things tllcl have led to contrzversy in the National finals of recent years. The rules finally were the same as both teams operated under all season and there had been no long layoff between the Western- ers‘ last league game and the final.

The Bombers got through a tough three-game series against Regina Rough Riders only two weeks ago and they've played all season with five-yard interference and the pro na=s just as did the

Eastern champions, It, could all be decided, so evenly do the teams appear to be matched. by the dreaded fumble that can turn a. game in the space of time it takes lightning to strike.

There has been no fair me:sure by which the teams’ caplldllties can be compared, but everyone knows what cacti has d.ne tnlough their regular schedules. The Bomb- ers have a good, hard-charging line featured by Lou Mogul and Les Lear, good ends topped by Bud Marquardt and Bernie Thornton, the former Argozlaut and Queen's star. and a backfield containing, besides Slieiey lllld Ches McCance, the converted outside, little Fritz Hanson. '

The Rider line can reach un- beatable heights if keyed properly for one perticuiar game. The last Argonaut-Rider game. when the Ottaiwans overcame an eight-point deficit. to will the Big Four cham- pioruliip, proved that. They have Golab, Tommy, Murray Griffin and Stan O'Neil to match a line and no one questions the ability of these human tanks,

In Burke they have a. passer who is Sheleys equal—'if he remembers to cal] a pass play-and Tcmmy Dale and Wilf Trerrllblay are the s boys of the backfield. per- haps not as spectacular as Hanson but swift enough to do damage in an open field. Tony McCarthy and Chip O'Connor give Riders superb tackling dc-wnfield.

The game will be fought to a decision one way or the other the only limit set by the C.R.U. offic- ials being darkzless, If there is s.

Discuss how To improve Trout fishing

Better trout fishing for Prince Edward Islanders and for tourists was under discussion here yester- day by officials of the Fish and Game Association, members of the provincial department of agriculture and Dr. H, C. White of the fish culture department, Ottawa.

The Fish and Game Association is advocating a survey of the province's streams and ponds by a rfluaiifled biologist frm the fed- era department, It would take almost a year to complete, 1t, was believed.

Such a survey, it was he'd. would

reveal how best to improve streams and ponds. A fish and game license fee of .00 for, resident anglers and hunters and $2.00 for non-resi- dents was imposed at the last ses- sion of the Provincial Legislature. The money is ear-marked for im- provement of fishing and shooting conditions in the province.

Dr. White has been engaged in research work in Cape Breton for the past two years.

No official announcement was made but it was expected work would start in the spring,
