A Popular Choice

RUSS Jaclcsoufs selection for the double role of Most Out- " Player and Canadian Player of the Year certainly shouldn't leave much room for criticism.

This fellow Jackson is truly an amazing man. His antics this season with a club supposed to finish in the cellar were Qantastic and his choice to head both divisions in the voting surely came about after terrific play..

It is a pity that Canadians will not get a chance to view this great performer in The Grey Cup classic. However, you can blame Hamilton Tiger-Cats entirely for this. Although the Cats were trounced 35-18 before the home fans last Sunday. their 45-0 triumph a week earlier over the Rough Riders was more than enough to earn them the

no on is a brllll . soholarsh-ip to take no teaching and football in the Ottawa area. t vocations he has done extremely well. It is said that his classroom lectures are greatly admired by his students and surelv his football eats have been declared great by every foot- ball fan in Canada.

We had the pleasure of hearing Russ speak at a Sports-

man's Dinner in Summe-rsi . a few years ago. We well remem-

- before im. We felt a bit sorry for him as he rose to speak in the srmoke-filled audi- turiuim

But Russ didn't need any sympathy from us or anybody else. He spoke about five minutes and you could ave heard _a pin drop all the while. His message was one that the folks lis- tened to with the greatest attention and he spoke his piece in a forceful manner. Russ Jackson is indeed a credit to Canadian football. He is I credit to sport in general and we know of no other selection that would have proved nearly as popular. Jackson should have irany good years ahead of lii.m,Vel. Ottawa loves the guy and he will likely remain with the Riders the rest of his career.

We like Tiger-Cats

AND The Grey Cup goes this afternoon in the city of Van- eomiil-' see where the British Columbia Lions are installed as favorites although Lions' coach. Dave Skrien. doesn't agree this should be so. He feels the invaders from the east deserve more respect than these prophets are showing iihem. He feels is Hamilton club is a hardvrock outfit that will give Lions few chances throughout the encounter. _

Probably Mr. Skrien, who mastermind: these popular Lions. is acting unduly humble. Perhaps he has the feeling all the time his boys can soundly trounce these Tiger-Cats who sub- dued Ouawa Rough Riders so convincingly in that opener at Lansdowne Park a few weeks ago. Perhaps he is convinced that Kapp, Fleming. Morris and Tom Brown will have great times against the Hamilton outfit. _

Assistant coach, Jim Champitm. concedes the Ticats an edge as far as linemen are concerned. He feels man for man Lions are not as strong as the men in the Hamilton line.

CHAMPION maintains the Lions never had any doubt whom they would play in this Grey Cup battle. In fact Mr. Champion it-Sines" the Tiger Cats as the “strongest team in Canadian foot-

We like these Tiger-Cats by at least 15 points this afternoon.

SPORT OF KINGS

Bowling Business Zooms In Busy Eastern Town

By ED CLINTON I Sourls Bureau of The Guardian, The howling leagues in Souris. have been going for th 1' e e weeks now, and. we are finally ready to make our predictions- The Women's League is the eas- iest one to do. The Men's Leag- ue presents some problems. For this year at least. it would ap- pear that most. if not all. of ac- tual competition for top honors will take place in the Men's Lea- gue.

The Pixies should make it a clean sweep in the Wnmen’s League. winning both first place and the league championship. As far as we can ascertain there are only two teams with outside chances of winning, and these chances appear to be way way outside. Those two teams are the Touchdowns and Top-Notch- ers. Individual honors at the present time seem to be between Bernie Mahar. and Doroth y Young. and we'll tag along with the former due to her exper- lence.

The Men's League seems to be a toss-up between the Ni gh t- Hawks and the Perfectionists. and we'll go along with the lat- ter onthe strength of their early seasorrvictory over the Night- Hawkl. The Flintstones, (ii new name. but, the same old team) have to be considered as close competitors, and The Federal: and Smoke Eaters also have to be given an outside chance. As far as individual honors are con- ed. we freely predict that this will be a one man race com- posed of an.

This year's record favors the

top clubs to further widen the gap in-the standings.

The Hawks have beaten the Rangers in their three previoug meetings. Montreal has beaten Boston twice and tied once. The Leafs will be playing the mber match with the Wings, each having beaten the other once in two engagements this fall.
