At Lack Of Tickets For

Big Football

Dy H. Dent Hodpon

QTAWM, Nov. 24 —(CP)- The but of the east-wrest football final burst on the Capital today with the some of a. lo-ton bomb.

There were repercussions from altqunrters as thousands of fans learned to their horror and anger that the-re were no footbau tickets en nie for their Ottawa Ifough Riders classic grid contest- with Calgary Stampeders.

The tickets arrived in Ottawa yllterday-LOOO of them-and the Capital had been assured they would go on sale at a doivntflfvn Sparks Street store this mcrning. When it was learned tlia: not a single ticket was to go on public n10. squad cars were posted along Sparks Street.

At least 500 strong. the customers stayed. asking questions. inner-in: with rage. they wanted to know" wihy Ottawa got only 4.000 tickets. why Toronto should get 9.800, why ‘the club officials and directors should be able to reserve blocks of tickets for their friends.

The stream of abuse ranged from‘ some of the most imaginative pro- fanity ever heard publicly in O:- tawa. to what could he charitably described as plain talk. Police re», moved some of the more CXl)OS‘.lll.\f-‘ ory would-be ticket buyers.

"Something in this whole busi- ness," cried one, "smells all the way to Vancouver."

"Just because l don't know any‘, directors," another irate fan 53121.! "I'm stuck. I've been one of those fans who always paid his w-.i_v."

"I've been supporting this team." another shouted. “for four year's- and it wasn't always as hot as it is now."

There was no doubt the Ottawa team was hot. but the lien: of the disappointed season-ticket - hold- ers was hotter. Ottawa football club officials. their hair uliiiening by the hour, denied claims llizit club directors had each obtained blocks of 500 tickets.

"The directors did get some. and there were some for the players. but. certainly not in figures like that." said secretary West Brown.

Folks started telephoning for tickets early last week and their names were taken down. 'l'oCi1_\' they were getting the tickets.

“Anybody had that priiil v " hi‘ added. “There was no favcuri l-m shown. It was first come. first served. Last Saturday l kucv; tlic demand was genius: ("lose .0 inc limit. No more nanics were tak ii."

Both Brown and Eli. (Eddie) Emerson criticized ine (Iauudiaii Rugby Union for not. making more tickets available herc.

Meanwhile. the railways ivcre clogged with culls. They had ari- nounced thcy would have a supply of tickeis available for ilersoiis buy- ing railway" tickets. They ceived only 380 pastcboards.

In the scramble for seats iii Tor- onto's Varsity Arena, it. appeared llmost as though the tcmii itself had been forgotten. HOWEVCI‘. coach Wally Masters continued to liol-tl his quiet workouts at Lansdoimc Park preparatoiy to leaving to- morrow night for the Queen City.

From the Rider camp came a ltiffenlng attitude towards request: by Calgary for a frequent. change of footballs and use or 2f) mcn.

flu-ordination 0f Sports Discussed At Moncton

MONCTON. N.B., Nov. ‘.24 —-(CP) -»Possibility of co-ordliiation of sports throughout Canada was dis- cussed here today by a group of physical education directors, sports writers and commentators from New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

J. H. Ross acting chainnan of the National Physical Fitness Council. outlined several questions which will be discussed at a meet- ing of representatives of 42 Canad- ian sports organizations in Ottawa next January 7 and 8.

Mr. Ross made Mcncton his his: stop on a coast to coast series oi meetings with writers. coin-ment- ators and physical education direct.- ors. gathering information and views on the various subjects which the Ottawa meeting will tliscuss.

Need for a stricter definition of amateur in sport was stressed as well as the need for correctlifg of other important factors in the almateur vs pro question.

"This will be more or less of an exploratory meeting." Mr. Ross explained, "and we cannot hope to accomplish too much quickly."

Among the matters discussed were the possibility of Canada dropping from international sport, the Olympic games, standardizat- ion throughout Canada of such games as rugby, which has several different styles in action at pres- ent, subsidizing of sport in mint-r playoffs by the Dominion Govem- ment and the importance of or- ganlzatlomat a Provincial level.

The practice of luring school stu- dents away from their studies to sports was criticized. as was the practice of barring a pro player from action as an amateur in a sport other than the one in which he is paid.

d an injury believed to be a possible

fractured rib.

Schmidt collided with the boards when Detroit's Marty Psveiich bumped him in the first period and trainer Win Green said a rib on the right side may be broken.

With their centre on the shelf the Bruins got hot in the second period. slamming home three goals in seven minutes (o put the game virtually on ice.

Detroit bounced back with two goals in the first two minutes of the final period to shave the Bruin margin to 4-3 but Grant Warwick scored from a jam in front of the Detroit net less than a minute later to disappoint the crowd of 12.60‘! fans.

The defeat dropped Detroit into o. second-place tie with Mont-real which played a 3-3 deadlock with the Maple Leafs in Toronto.

Referee George Gravel called six penalties in the opening period but there wasn't another all night as Boston went ahead to become (he first team to score five goals off goalie Harry Lumley this season.

In addition to losing Schmidt in the opening period, Boston played without defenceman Jack Craw- ford. who was struck on the ankle by a puck at. Toronto last week and didn't make the trip.
