Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 21, 1948, Winnipeg, Manitoba Page 16 Winnipeg press saturday. August 21, 1948 by Bob Sandberg a revolving door schedule presents Many problems. N of what can we get from a 1-0 score in the beaches indians is. Regina roughriders game on wednesday Don t know about you but More confused than Ever. I have a feeling or. Grant and co., Aren t letting go As they should. They out rushed out passed and out crushed note opposition s injury list the beaches indians and still came up with a score like that. All that has the inklings of a Ball game today two teams beaten by a third in oddly scored contests. Yet again two teams that hold much More potential Power than heretofore shown. Guess this Western league brews wait la the lid blows speaking of the Western league have you seen this year s schedule we play the same team so Many times it la be like being caught in a. Revolving door. Imagine a coaches Job trying to keep the opposition confused without confusing his own team. What a difference up Here from Down in the states where there Are never two games in one year the same school and very often they rotate the. Competition so there will Only be a few repeaters every year. Up Here however the mighty mile rules the Roost and we re somewhat limited in population. One Fella suggested a possible have two three team leagues. Edmonton Calgary and Vancouver in one and Regina. Winnipeg and the Lakehead in the other by Lake head i presume he meant port Arthur and fort these might play among themselves and Between the two leagues. Such a thought offers far reaching possibilities giving needed variety to the teams and to the fans. A a a season such As ours could in the waning weeks become Ufi. More and More a repetitious Drudgery if it weren t for the Strong desire to play the game and to reach a final goal. Playing the game has its Joys but have you Ever thought of the Guy on the Bench who Seldom gets a Chance to show his Only game after game but year after year. The Fella who night after night works toward that goal and Seldom gets credit even an assist. Take George Gregory for one. He puts in time consuming efforts for the Good of the team without Ever quite blossoming Forth. Through no ones fault some just never quite Click. Of. There Are More too Young Loo old. Too slow or the too awkward who Don t Shine As stars but who make the team a team. A Good to i d for them the Guys who always dress for the game but Only to gather slivers.
