At Toronto, the rampaging Ar- gonauts will be trying for their fourth straight win after eight losses. Their only other victory was the home opener against the Alouettes. Montreal has beaten Toronto in their other two games.
Key to Argos‘ hopes will again be 23-year - old passing wizard Knox whose accurate throwing and fine play selection has led his club to victories of 37-0 against Ticats and 41-0 and 42-24 over Ottawa.
SHATTO IS HOT
But Knox will be up against all- s-tar veteran Etcheverry who is also noted for razor-sharp passes and was in excellent form last weekend as Alouettes downed Hamilton 28-12.

Horses To Race
LAUREL, Md. (AP) — A dele gation of five Russians Friday looked over the lay of the land in another world of sports they hope to conquer—horse racing.
Their two nominees for the $100,000 International race Nov. 11, Garner and Zaryad, were set
tied down for a rest before be- ing the first Russian horses to set foot on a United States track.
The, horses, both three-years old, arrived Friday after a 5,500 mile train and plane trip starting last Saturday in Moscow.
“It was too long,” comnient:d Yevgeni Dolmatov, director of racing at the Moscow Hippo- drome.

Ex-CI'lamp Will Appeal
CINCINNATI (AP) —- Ezzard Charles, fo r m e n heavyweight boxing champion, said Friday he will ask, that a boxing suspension against/ him be lifted.
Alton Erickson, supervisor of the boxing and wrestling division of the Texas bureau of labor sta- tistirs, announced Charles‘ sus- pension Thursday. It followed a six-round knockout of the Cincin- nati boxer by Donnie Fleeman in Dallas Monday night.
In a letter to Charles, Erickson said the action was taken for the best interest of boxing and for Charles‘ health.
Charles said: “I still think I can box and I would like a re—; match with Fleeman.” '
TORONTO ARGONAUTS and Montreal Alouettes clash this afternoon in Toronto in a mighty important Big Four Fixture.
Argonauts, who decided to start playing football three weeks ago. should be able to take the measure of the Montrealers this afternoon. It's a must game for Ronnie Knox and the boys as Is next Saturday’s tussle in Montreal. Argos can‘t look back; they must keep moving ahead if they want to participate in the Big Four playdowns. .
SHOULD OTTAWA and Toronto end with eight points each— Ii at would happen if Riders lost two to Hamilton and Argos r :l Aloueétes split—it will be the Ottawa club that would get two playoff because they have scored more points against To— l‘mlto than Argonauts have chalked up against them. So as far as Toronto is concerned, it's all or nothing.
This is no secret and nobody appreciates these cold facts more so than the same Argonauts. They realize their drive was started late in the schedule but they also are maintaining that it wasn’t too late. There’s only one team that can prove them wrong as far as a playoff spot is concerned and that team is Montreal Alouettes.
WE ARE NOT EXPECTING the Alouettes to halt the To- ronto drive today. If they manage to do it at all, we figure that stopping point will be reached next Saturday in Montreal when these two teams renew their private feud. The A15 will be tough customers at home; they proved that last week when they humbled the front-running Tiger-Cats. But this time, providing the Argonauts conquer this afternoon, the Montrealers will be up against a desperate outfit, an outfit possessed with the idea that they can't be halted. That could make a whale of a dif- ference. '
Guess, however. we should wait and see what happens today before we start anticipating next week’s results. But then, we'd miss out on a lot of fun. Wouldn’t we?
THE PRINCE OF WALES-Saint Dunstan's Junior Varsity series will likely be resumed next week.
This best—of-three series for the intermediate football cham- pionship of Prince Edward Island could be all over with this second game, provided that Saints can come up with another ,vicory. They lead 1-0 in games and another triumph for the Red and White lads would bring a termination to the series.
The City Collegians, however, are not thinking about the series ending with another battlee. They know they led the Saints at half time last Tuesday and they are confident they can lead them when the final whistle sounds the next time out.
ON THE OTHER SIDE of the fence, the Junior Saints are determined to make this season a perfect one all the way. They trounced the Welshmen 13-0 in an exhibition game before taking the first of the series 21-6. They have no intention of letting the boys from the city put a blemish on their 1958 record. With such thoughts in their heads, the Father Ledwell-coached lads are going to be mighty hard to send down to defeat.
Regardless of what way it goes, it will be a bitter battle. These two schools always put on a‘spirited display and this season—the first in the Canadian football game—was up to expectations. '
Try and make it when these two teams battle it out in that second game. You’ll see an exciting tussle all the way.
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS play hosts tonight to New York Rangers and the Billy Reay-coached Leafs had better start mov- ing tonight or they are going to find that they are really up against it.
A win for the Toronto boys isn’t going to get them out of the league cellar but it will draw them closer to the Rangers who now hold a five-point lead. If the Canadiens dispose of the Chicago Black Hawks, a Leaf victory would place Toronto just two points back of Chicago. Both Chicago and New York have two games more played than the Leafs, so a Toronto triumph would make things a whole lot rosier for the Queen City boys.
Sunday night the Maple Leafs visit Boston while Detroit Red Wings are guests of the New York Rangers. So about the only thing that is certain as far as the standings are concerned is that the Montreal Canadiens will still be leading the pack come Monday morning.
Canadiens in front. That isn‘t news any more. Everybody is agreed that’s the way it's supposed to be.
AND SPEAKING of Montreal Canadiens. have you taken a look at hockey’s big seven lately? The first four are from Toe Blake‘s outfit and number six is Dickie Moore. Five out of seven is a pretty fair percentage.

Do Brawls In Hockey Have An Influence On Children?
VANCOUVER (CP) Many sports personalities and fans here say hockey brawls do not influ- ence young children watching the action. ’
They were commenting on a statement by Rt. Rev. A. H. Sov- ereign of Vernon, B.C., who said fights and brawls in hockey games “provide the worst kind of encouragement'to youngsters.”
Bishop Sovereign who retired as Anglican bishop of Athabasca in 1950 said hockey games were no place to take children.
Coley Hall, general manager of the Vancouver Canucks of the Western H o c k e y League dis- agreed and said “playing and watching hockey is great for kids. It keeps them off the streets. '
“I can‘t believe that any could really be influenced.“
Hockey great Fred (Cyclone) Taylor said: “Hockey can not be classed as a breeder of rowdies. I played the game for more than 25 years and I don't know of any child harmfully affected by it. It's the training they get in the home and school that counts." SUPPORTS BISHOP
Bishop Sovereign gained sup- port from Jack Pomfvret, Univer- sity of British Columbia basket- ball coach. who said, “every sport contributes a great deal to a child's development if properly administered. But uncontrolled sport can tend to make children lose their sense of values.
“They idolize these sports stars and if they act up the kids will be inclined to do the same.”

Horsemen are reminded of the annual meeting of the Prince Ed- ward Island Harness Racing Club which will be held in the Knights of Columbus Hall, 21 Water St., on Monday evening, November 3, at 8 pm. Secretary-treasurer, W. G. Gillespie, will have. an inter- esting report to present to the members, and the dates and ar- rangements for the Futurity Stakes of 1969 will be decided on.
The United States Trotting As- sociation has completed a sur- vey of the post. positions of hor- ses racing on U.S.T.A. tracks. It is based on. a survey of eight- horse fields in all sizes of tracks in regular use.
On a standard halfwmile track, the No. 1 horse enjoys a winning percentage of 17.9 percent, as againt 7.3 percent by the No 8 horse. On the narrow half-mile tracks, where trailers are used, the No 6 horse is at about the same disadvantage. Percentages are also given for mile tracks and this month's edition of “Hoof Beats" will give complete de- tails for all types of tracks.
