Toronto Wins Canadian Football Championship

Toa.oNTO. Nov. M - (OP) - As giert opportunists as ever, Toronto A;-gonluts Saturday recaptured the Janadlln football championship and the Grey our hr I.h'P"'I '-I10" my to meet the conditions -- a morass of mud and water that rmked unong the worst gridiron: ,.-u- used for an East.-West final.

The slithery playing conditions .,,ougiit renewed demands. particu- imy from Winnipeg quarters. that me Canadian Rugby Union or the stadium invest in a tarpaulln to protect the annual Dominion final field from the elements.

A number of United States col- wges use pre-game covers on their giiduons and are satisfied with re- guns. 3 recent Canadian Press sur- irv showed. However. officials of we C.R.U.. which stagu the -hamplonshlp playoffs. said at that Elma the risk of bad weather didn't iustify the expense of a tarpaulin, iylilch an American firm said I: gould provide for 33:01”.

' All-Weather Club

While some Monday quarterbacks argued that the outcome might have been different on a dry field. others held that the Dominion title is an all-weather affair to be won by an all-weather club. The Argus left no doubt about their qualifications on that score as they steadily built up their lead - 1-0 in the first quar- ter. 1-0 at halftime and 13-0 in the third.

All five Argo scores resulted from Winnipeg mlscues. After Joe Krol punted their opening point. Argos kept kicking to the Bombers - of- ten cn first or second down -- and let their opponents come to them. Normally a high-scoring. forward- passing team -- they piled up 369 points in 15 previous big four and playoff games - Arizos threw only three forwards all day.

The strategy paid off quickly. In the second quarter. Jack Jacobs. WinniDelz's Indian Import quarter-

THERE'S so)fl'rH1NG truly Canadian about skating . . . the crisp, clear air that whistles into your lungs like a refreshing shower . . . the shimmering ice, criss- crossed with sabre-scars from zipping blades . . . the rhythm . . . the absolute freedom of motion . . . the sheer enjoyment and exhilaration of it!

back from Green Bay Packers. twice made fumbles in his own territory. Both times Argoa worked the ball in front. of the goalpcsts on run- ning plays and then Nick (sure- foot) Volpe came on to kick place- ments -. one for 21 yards and the other for 23.

Volpe. 24-year-old University of Toronto product used mainly in a defensive backfield role. said later he had difficulty lifting the bail out of the mud but his trick of shav- ing down the front cloak of his kicking foot - to give it a "rocker" effect-paid off.

The Argo wingllne. who out.oha.rg- ed their heavier opponents all day. made the break for the third-quar- ter touchdown. Three of them broke through on a Winnipeg punt. Mid- dle Jalre Dunlap, a one-time ot- tawa Ric-mil Rider. blocked Jaoobs' kick with his head and outside Bud Fowler chased it back 35 yards to the Winnipeg 20.

Fun there, Toronto rolled along the ground in six plays to a touch- down. quarterback Al Dekdebrun finally crawling over the one-yard line. vclpe. who kicked 52 converts over the season. was wide on this one.

Krol, the triple-threat hero of Ar- gona-..its' Grey Cup reign from 1946-47. kicked his second single moments later after-' Dekdebxun in- tercepted a Jacobs' forward. Now used mainly for his punting and in a defensive role. the 81-year-old product of Windsor's Kennedy Col- legiate made the entire Argo strat- egy pay off with his weu-placed punts.

Krol also made a telling play in the second quarter when Argos led only l-0. Unable to kick because of a bad third-down snap, he raced nine yards for a first down that set.

TORONTO. Nov. as - (CP) - With Tod Sloan their trigger man. Toronto Maple Leafs downed Montreal Canadiens 4-1 before 14.- 201 fans Saturday night to run

iheir current National Hockey League victory string to three in four days.

Sloan fired two goals and one lsslsl. duiplicaiing his scoring per- formance of Wednesday night when the League leaders started iheirihree-game string. He shared siarringg honoiswiih rookie goalie Al Rollins who was in the neis in all three games and is the League's only unbeaten goalie. Leafs have won five and lied one of the six games in which the lanky rookie has supplanted veteran Turk Broda in the Toronto nets.

It was a rough. hard-hitting bai- ile-lypical of the way the two Canadian rivals go at each other almost every time they meet. Each team drew eight minor penalties, six resulting from minor scraps. They battled on almost even terms through a goal-less first pe- riod. Cal Gardner put Leafs in front early in the second but be- fore ii was over Canadians re- plied with a counter by Vern Kaiser during a slashing penalty

waited for Bombera

Coach Frank Clair said later the Argo strategy was based on scoring the first point, then letting the Bombers come in them. "On a. day like this. the odds are in favor of a team fumbling if it handles the hall often enough. particularly if it his the psychological hazard of playing in its own territory."

Bombers might have upset the stnatxy if they had a backfielder with the daring of Friizie Hanson, the galloping ghost who brought the West its first championship on a similar day in 1936 by catching kicks on the fly and racing them back for long gains and an 18-12 victory over Hamilton. Instead. the Bcmber backs usually waited for the slippery ball to stop rolling.

The Argo win cllmaxed a. remark- able season for Clair. 34-year-old former Buffalo University coach who hadn't even seen as Canadian football gs.me until he took over this season from Tedder Morris. The little suburban Melton farmer, whose teams finished out of the playoffs in the last two seasons af- ter their three successive Grey Cups. watched from a seat on the 50-yard line.

Argonaut teams now have won the Canadian title nine times - eight of them since east-west play started in 1921. They hold seven of the Victories over Winnipeg. who has yet. to beat them. In all. the east has won 20 of the 24 arinum classics. Besides the 1935 triumph over Hamilton. Winnipeg won twice over Ottawa in 1989 and '41 and Calgary beat Ottawa in '4?

to Toronto's Gus Morison.

Maurice Richard. who played an aggressive game for the losers. was sitting out a penalty when Sloan cut loose for his two goals. 05 seconds apart. early in the third period. The first was a spec- tacular play. Sloan took a pass from Max Bentley at his own blue- line. started toward his own goal. ihen turned and streaked down the ice all alone. He went by all four

backhand shot past Gerry Mc- Neil. The right winger capped his night's work by helping Johnny MoCormack score late in the game. Richard was mixed up in two of the roughing sessions, once with Fleming Mackell and again with Mortson. Ray Timgren and Elmer Lach were principals in the other boui. '

Rollins had 30 Montreal shols to handle while Leafs drove 25 at McNeil, who also came up with some breath-taking stops. Canadiens lost Ken Mosdell in the second period when he ag- gravated an old knee injury.
