Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 23, 1948, Winnipeg, Manitoba _ Page 14 slue bombers served with eviction notice Winnipeg free press monday August 23, 1948 Regina shows Power in 17-6 win re Ata by Maurice Smith Regina roughriders served Winnipeg Blue bombers with an Evic Tion notice saturday and in no Uncertain words told them they May have to move out of the Western Canada Gridiron throne room which they have occupied for so Many years come november. Turning in a Brilliant display of offensive football in a second half rally that left the bombers reeling like a punch drunk Boxer the Saskatchewan club administered a 17 to 6 Licking to the Prairie champions in the opening game of the West Ern inter provincial football sched ule at Osborne stadium. A crowd of Sun baked fans looked on and marvelled at the ease with which they did it. There no mistake about it. Bombers were a Well beaten club saturday As they fell to the smart Well drilled outfit which Fred Grant the soft spoken Little coach from Georgia unveiled for Public inspection. They a d balance drive receptiveness and what was even More important a spirit to win. That could not and would no be cowed. Bombers mind you gave every thing they had but after the open ing half in which they More tha held their own against the Power packed Regina machine it was a Plain As the nose on your face tha their Goose was cooked. There was no stopping the Ruf ties in the third and fourth quarters As they made their Victor bid ripping gaping holes in the Centre of the Winnipeg line As i it was made of papier mache. Bob Sandberg s unconverted ouch Jown was the Only count in the opening Quarter while the score stood at s to 4 at halftime bombers collecting a single poin in the second period while Regina replied with a Field goal and a dead line kick. It was 6 to 5 Peg As the third Quarter ended Ken Charlton accounting for the Only Point in that Frame with a tremendous Boot Over the goal line a pair of touchdowns Only one of which was converted put the game on ice for Regina in the final fifteen minutes. While Man for Man the Smith Winnipeg Blue bombers As whole thought about Satur Day s football Jacl West did not have much to for the Public it seem us that Hegina roughriders Havi quite a Ball club this year and of that bombers at their Best an going to find hard to beat. In the Backfield coach free Grant has a collection of some of the nifty est operators we be seen on the Prairies in some years. Fellows like Ken Charlton Sully Glasser barrel Ward in Bob Early Ken Preston and Johnny Cook each capable of busting out and going for a healthy piece of ground Ever time he carries the Ball. As a matter of fact they far outshone 1heir Winnipeg counterparts which is something no Regina Backfield has been Able to do in a Good few years. Probably the most revealing thing about saturday s contest was the bombers glaring weakness at tackle and guard. In the second half when they found their feet the Regina s ran most of their plays right through the Centre and while the bombers probably knew they were coming there there was not much they were Able to do about it. The blame cannot be Laid at the feet of Willie Daniels the Man who has succeeded the de parted Mel Wilson. Willie backing up the line but was receiving Little help elsewhere. We were particularly impressed with the Clece aliveness of the Regina plays. Unless you were behind the ruffles it was impossible most of the time to see where the Ball was going. It was an exhibition of smoothness at its Best. As one Winnipeg player remarked to this Corner after the game half the time we were Trust ing to Luck that we were going to Nail the Man with the w Hilk it is certainly unfair to blast a coach after one game we think Jack West could a Page from general Fred Book and substitute More liberally. By using All his players did saturday. Them a Chance to show him what they could do under the gun Grant not Only had a keyed up Man was anxious to get Back into the game each time he was spelled he had a fresh team at All times. This strategy paid off in touchdowns and Victory. Bombers were More than Able o hold their own in the first half 3ut when the second half came up the regulars were tired and it was an easy matter for Regina to Roll Over them for their two major scores. Had Fellows like Sandber Smith Westrum Millon etc., been Iven More rest during the game his might not have happened. A Chance to play More than a couple of minutes also makes for Esprit do corps which after All. S a pretty important Factor in foot Ball. 11. Would seem to us too that Bob Sandberg the most dangerous running Back in Western football ast year should return to his old position. Bob has hardly carried he Ball in the two games the bom Bers have played to Date. As he is he club s greatest ground gainer be feel he should play at the pos Tion where he will be of the most ise to the team. Right now he is ust another football player albeit his punting saturday was some Hing extraordinary and saved the Winnipeg cause time and time again. Hegina has a Well balanced club. They seem fairly Strong Down the line and have an exceptionally Brilliant what s More they Are Well coached. If their second string ends develop it is going to be hard to keep the Western championship away from them. Meanwhile Between n o w Vij. And next weekend when they leave to play games in Regina and Calgary coach Jack West is oing to have to try and do some Hing about strengthening the mid be of his line. A fellow like Paul Iowa would have had an even bigger Field Day than the sensation 1 Bob Early and Kenny Charlton roughriders were undoubtedly the better team saturday probably the major reason for their Success can be attributed to the smart substituting of his players by coach Fred Grant at no time did the Little Guy with the Southern drawl have a tired player on the Field. It was probably be. Cause of his astute substituting used All but. Three of his than anything else that Regina was Able to Roll Over the dead tired bombers in the last Quarter for the game winning touchdowns. Undoubtedly the outstanding Star of the game was a newcomer to Icenior football in the person of Bob Early. Only 19-years-old and t member of the Saskatoon Hill Ops juniors last year Early stole the Thunder from the High Price american imports on both teams to was he who set up both Regina touchdowns with Brilliant runs a Hile also putting the Ball in position for Gabe Patterson to kick i Field goal. Not Fob a Good Many years Las a Junior player broken into Enior football quite so sensation Fly As did Early to promises to e the Gridiron find of the year if e can maintain the brilliance he isolated saturday. Ken Charlton. Always a great is 11 nil Hack with Regina after a spell Eastern Canada a. As out Landing As Ever. He accounted for thirteen of Zefrina s seventeen Points. On top of the display by rather bad third Down snap. Before he could move Johnny Westrum roared in to Nail him in his tracks and Winnipeg took the Ball. On the first Down both teams were off Side but on the next play Sand Berg went Over on a quarterback sneak. Hiney s placement kick Foi the extra Point was wide. Bombers dominated the play of. The rest of the Quarter throwing up an Aerial attack that had the regions baffled but they could not get within striking distance of a major score again. Regina got Back into the Ball game in the second Quarter and unfortunately it was a 15-Yard penalty to Harold Millon who failed to give Yards on a punt which helped them to do it giving the riders Possession on the Peg 30-Yard line. On the first play Bob Early crashed through Centre for 19 Yards to the 11-Yard Stripe. Early was then stopped for no gain while a Cook to Lee pass was incomplete. On third Down coach Grant sent the injured Gabe Patterson in to kick a Field goal and the negro Star made no mistake to Send the Ball Between the uprights making the score 5 to 3. A Fumble by Millon on the Winnipeg 38 Yard line which Regina recovered enabled Ken Charlton to Boot a Singleton the balt hitting High up on the Fence. Just before the Quarter closed Bob Sandberg made it 6 to 4 for bombers when he punted from his own 30-Yard line the Ball carrying 70 Yards before it came to rest at the Fence. The Reginann really started to Roll in the third Quarter and play for that whole period was mostly in Winnipeg territory. As a matter of fact bombers we re fortunate to come out of it with Only one Point being scored against them booting a Singleton from his own 45-Yard line. But while they were stopped on the bomber 1-Yard-Stripe at one time in the third Quarter Trie re Gin ans were not to be denied in the last period. With the Ball on he Winnipeg 40, Bob Early cracked off three Yards and then crashed through for another 25 to put it on the Winnipeg is. From that joint Charlton went Over and Gabe Atterson kicked the extra Point to make the count 12 to 6. The ruffles final touchdown came just a few minutes before he end of the game. Doug Drew intercepted a pass on the Winnipeg 12. On the very first Down Young and Early few. Game Charlton Lave been much Marter than the Way imported Johnny Cook called the plays for Lecina saturday. The bombers were Best served y Don Hiney who unfortunate in and to leave the game with a Harley horse in the second half Smith and Bob Sandberg s be punting saved Winnipeg Mam limes when they were in difficulties. Bombers scored their onh rather fortunate on six minutes of play the opening Quarter. Regin was in Possession on its own when Ken Charlton fumbled r Bob Earley Snake hipped his Way through the Centre of the line and raced to the Winnipeg five before he was brought Down for a 37-Yard gain. Bombers stopped the Regina steam roller on the first play but Early went for three on the next and then Charlton crashed through Centre for his second major score.
