Trimble Still Confident Ti-cats Will Capture Cup

By WILF GRUSON

MILTON (CH—Outspoken Jim Trimble, still as confident as ever that his Hamilton Tiger. Cats will whip Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Grey Cup game Saturday. isn't taking all the talk about the Bombers being in bad shape from injuries too se- riously.

The talkative Hamilton coach indicated Wednesday he thinks the westerners are throwing up a smoke screen about their crip- pled state for the East-West fi- nal. He plans to find out quickly in the game whether they are as severely weakened as it has been made out.

"Whether these players come

in lame. half deaf or blind, they’d better be ready," Trim- ble said. “We'll try to go to

work on them to find out for ourselves if they are as severely injured as Winnnipeg would like is to ink."

The burly Trimble compared

in a downtown hotel and then held court for western and east- ern reporters in his office in the team's dressing room, explain- ing further why he thought this year's Hamilton team is the best of the five he has led to the Grey Cup final in the last 5 ears.

“We are better balanced, of— fensively and defensively with a little more size." he said. "We don't have an experienced quar- terback to match Winnipeg's Kenny Pioen, with Bernie Fa- Ioney out definitely with his knee injury."

However, his two young quar- terbacks, Joe Zuger, the 22- year—old rookie from Arizona State College, and Frank Cos~ entino, a 24-year-old Canadian, have matured rapidly in the lat- ter part of the season after Fa- loney was urt.

Trimble added: "Zuger takes a rush pretty well and he runs

Birds Have Wings Clipped .

OLD Spalin Penguins, the junior entry in The Island Senior

‘,Ho:key League, came a at the seams Tuesday night at The !Sports Arena where they were crushed 8.2 by Summer-side Com- mes.

The Baby Birds had put up quite a respectable showing in

:their three previous outings. They lost 4-2 to Combines at Civic , Stadium, 6—4 to Royals at The Sports Arena and tied RCAF Eag-

les 7-7 at the .

Folks were expecting much better things of them Tuesday when Ron MacArthur led his Combines into the capital city in- deed many were expressing the opinion that the Old Spainers might take the measure of the western invaders, A fai .sized gcrowd showed up for the entertainment but the Birds didn’t [come close to living up to expectations.

l MIND you, these Penguins are all juniors and they are com- ;peting in senior company. They were not expected to start throw- ling their big brothers for many losses but after watching them “in the first three contests. folks had figured it wouldn't be food- ish to think that they might throw Combines for a loss.

But it was a far different Penguins' squad we saw out their [Tuesday night. Their passing attack certainly was clicking and {their shooting was horrible. They had numerous chances to beat lThane Mann in the ConIbines' race but they gummed up most |of their opportunities. 0n the other occasions Mann was too ,good for them.

WE thought their inability to do the right thing when in close was the biggest handicap the Bird‘s had. We marvelled at how they were able to miss some of their chances but they muf- fed a pile of them, One Penguin official told us that several planrers were suffering from slight attacks of the ‘flu and that could have been one of the main reasons for their lack of any kind of organized attack.

However. the loss shouldn't worry Penguins and their support- ers too much. They are in this league for the exocrienice an long as they can provide reasonably good competition. every.

. PERTH, Australia (GP) —

‘Maj. Paul Roth of Vancouver ilevelled a big blast Wednesday lat boxing judges in the British glimpire Games and said the lofficiating is "abysmal." It was all over the decision against IRon 'Killerl Jones of Montreal.

lboxing team said in an inter- view: “Many judges appear to lack experience and confidence. They ignore glaring fouls yet caution and warn boxers on mi- nor things. Very ew of them are of international or national calibre."

Roth said he asked to see some of the judges' papers and found while examining them that “some of them were not conversant with the point-scor- ing system. They don't know .how to nominate a winner when 'the point scores are even at the end of n bout."

Jones dropped a three-round decision to a boxer from the Fiji Islands. Moses Evans. in the middleweight division'mm- petition and was eliminated.

Two of the five indees nicked lEvans. two voted for Jones and l‘the fifth scored the fight even ihut gave it to Evans under the games rules that tn‘rn into ac-
