Can Bombers Repeat? .

TWO ancient rivals. Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton\ Tiger-Cats. renew their annual fued this afternoon at the CNE Stadium in Toronto. ‘

Bud Grant's Bombers will be trying to continue their mast- ery over Jim Trimble's Tiger-Cats. The jinx has prevailed the last three times Winnipeg and Hamilton (lubs have met. In 1958 Bombers beat Ticats 35-28. in 1959 it was a 21-7 decision for Bud Grant’s men and in 1961 Bombers conquered Jim Trimble and cmnpa-ny 21-14. The teams also clashed in 1957 said that Grey Cup outta-{noon the Hamilton outfit was Victorious 1960 Ottawa Rcugh Riders tripped Edmonton Eskimos in the

would like Jim Trimble and his boys to pushover this afternoon.

And Trimble is talking long and loud and making no bones about what he expects this afternoon. He says his Tiger-Cats will claw their way to triumph today and at least partially :- tone for previous humiliations.

Cripples Are Many

THURSDAY Grant had nearly everybody work out in prep- aration for the big contest. Fullback Hagbetrg and defensive end Herb Gary merely went for a run while team mates worked plays, Both men are reported to have badly sprained ankles and were tapped from instep to calf. Another fellow who went only for a run was defensive ta7kie Roger Savoie. He has a strain- ed v-ib cartilage and is bound to the armnits.

Fullback Charlie Shepherd was working out with the team but Charlie was wearing a hip.to-ribs corset bracing hi I Wrznched hack. Corner linebacker Gordie Rowland is definit- ely out and interior linebacker Dave Burkholder will see limit- cdj action because of a hugh thigh bruise.

- THE Tiger-Cats are in good shape for this encounter. They am snorting a six game winning streak. They coppied the last four in regular season play and they trounced Montreal Alout- tes in the two Bil:r Four final games. They have no serious injuries and should be at their peak for today’s showdown.

' With the state of the poll in such shape. it would appear easy to understand why the experts have shown a liking for Hamilton this December afternoon.

'Just to give the game a touch of local flavor, we called a few persons interested in the game around Charlottetown and asked them their views on this Grey Cup bat e

The Local Experts

‘SDU coach Ed Hilton maintained the anbers,_ when heal- thy. are a stronger club than the 'I‘iger.Cats but Ed felt many injuries suffered by Bud Grant and company make him pick the Hamilton club to achieve victory today. Ed thinks hhediffcrence will be about one touchdown. .

Gus Flynn suggests that the name Blue Bombers is enough to scare the Tiger-Cats. Injuries or not. he figures Winnipeg by.at least two touchdowns. "Just too much power" says

. ynn.

Car-man Smith, Guardian sportswriter, is In partial agree- ment with Gus. But Smity thinks the margin of victory will be a major or less.

Dr. Frank Burge. SDU club physician, is going along with Hamilton. The Doctor thinks the spread will be ten in . SDU Jayvees’ coach. John Kane. likes Hamilton by tw0 touch- downs “because Winnipeg injuries will hurt too much.

Patriot‘s sports columnist. Mike Hennessey. is calling Ham- iltcn because of the number of injuries suffered by the Blue Bombers.

Bill Ledwell has these words of wisdom: “The experts are going with Hamilton. so I giIeSs I’m no expert. I look for Win- nipeg to do it again . . by less than a TD - - say 25-22. Rea- sons: Ploen is a great clutch player and Zuger is somewhat of a question mark: the West has an edge over the East: and the Blue Bombers, notwithstanding their injuries, are the Yankees of Canadian pro. football.

It should be a e of a ball game."

Our own idea is that Hamilton will come through by at least two touchdowns.

Braves Obtain Norm Lurker

NEW YORK (AP) —— Milwau- kee Braves obtained first base- man Norm Larker from Hous- ton Colts in exchange for right- handed pitcher Connie Grob and outfielder Jim Bolger Friday. Larker, who will be 32 on Dec. 27. batted .263 in 147 games at Houston. hit nine home runs and drove in 63 runs. He was drafted by Houston from Los Angeles Dodgers in the ex- pansion draft in October. 1961.

Officials Face Possibility 1Grey Cup Tilt Postponed

By MEL SUFRIN TORONTO (CP) — The weather was the dominant topic of Grey Cup discussion Friday night as C a n a d la n Football League officials faced up to the possibility that today's 35th re- newal of the East-West classic might have to be postponed be- cause of fog.

As Winnipeg Blue Bombers. the defending champions. and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. the East- ern Challengers. were running through light drills before retir- ing to await the big game. e Canadian National Exhibition Stadium was locked in tight by a blanket of fog hanging over Toronto's waterfront area.

The weather office said there was a better-than-even chance that the mist would be cleared away by 1 p.m. today. when the game is scheduled to begin. If it does. conditions will be per- feet. with a light wind. sunny skies. a balmy 50-degrce tem— perature and a dry field.

But at mid-afternoon Friday the visibility at the stadium was no more than 15 yards and it would have been impossible to

play.

If the same conditions pre- vail Saturday. CFL commis- sioner Sydney Halter said. the Grey Cup game will be post- poned until Sunday. The deci- sion will be made after officials visit the site at 11 am.

In the unlikely event further postponements are necessary. the game will be pushed back one day at a time until it can be played. Halter said there is no consideration being given to the idea of postponing it a week. If the game is postponed, it won’t interfere with plans to

“More so as the game ap- proaches."

Trimble was oozing confi- dence despite the fact he was sending rookie quarterback Joe Zuger against Winnipeg's well- tested Kenny Ploen.

His optimism was t least partly based on a strong belief that Zuger. although he's just 22 and one year out of Arizona State College. has quickly de- veloped into a mature signal - caller. and that Ticats. in addi- tion to being a healthy club, are also a hungry one.

The last time they won the Grey Cup was 1957 when they walloped Winnipeg 32-7. But in three meetings since then Blue Bombers have won each time. The scores were 35-28 in 1958, 21-7 in 1959 and 21-14 last year in the first overtime Grey Cup game ever played.

ODDS FAVOR CATS

The betting fraternity may have been listening to Trimble when it set the odds on this meeting. If you bet on Winni- peg. you can get 11-to-10 odds plus six points. If you put your money on Hamilton, you must give eight points.

Commenting on the odds. Blue Bombers coach Bud Grant said he didn‘t think they would have much effect on his players. 15 of whom are making their fifth appearance in Grey Cup

1

game.

“The odds are for the bettors. not for the football teams." he said. "I don't think the players pay any attention to them."

The odds-makers may have also been listening to plaintive reports on the condition of some Winnipeg stars. And while in

ers have complained of injuries before the game. only to be found to have been playing pos- sum. there is reason to believe they are really hurting at some positions this time.

Charlie Shepard. fullback and punter. has his wrenched back encased in a corset; Herb Gray, the brilliant defensive end who says this is his last season. has a sprained ankle, and so has Roger Hagberg, the hard - hit- lng fullback. Tackle Roger Sa- voie has a damaged rib carti- lage, linebacker Gar Warren has a wrenched knee and tackle Dave Burkholder is hampered by a huge blood clot on his igh.

ROWLAND SIDELINED

Despite this impressive list of wounds. however. only Gordie Rowland. the c o r n e r line- backer. is a definite non-starter.

If past performance is any in- dication. Ticats will be taking dead aim at the injured Blue Bombers in the early part of the game as they probe for weaknesses.

NL Votes Rules To Speed Up Play

NEW YORK (Apt—The Na- tional Baseball League Friday voted in three new rules de- signed to speed up play.

At the league's annual busi- ness meeting. these changes were approved:

A relief pitcher will be per- mitted only five warm - up pitches instead of eight; Pitchers must wait their bat- ting turn in the on-deck circle instead of on the bench;

A manager may consult with his pitcher on the mound only once during an inning.

Warren Giles was re-elected league president for a further four-year term.

Last week. Toronto's Bruce Kidd won a gold in the six-mile run and Dick Pound of Montreal grabbbed a gold in the men‘s llO-yard freestyle swim.

It was a bright night for the Canadian team. The fencers col- lected silver and bronze medals in the individual sabre compe- tition. Steve Rabinovitch of Montreal took a bronze in the men's Ilo-yard breaststroke. MORE MEDALS?
