That was one suggestion i took to but easily. Though i Likely would have Learned something of the oppositions strategy the Long train ride to and from Regina would overshadow any gain. Scouting a Ball game is Good practise Anc a practise used extensively in the states and even up Here. The keen interest shown for this game on monday is borne out by the ticket sales. Early in the week All taut a few minus ten Yard line seats had been sold and orders poured in for hundreds of seats.

Annis Toronto Star Stukus an expert placement kicker himself in his football Days deplores the cur rent Lack of Field goal specialists what s happened to the Field goal Hooters in the big he asks.

His score was 266 for 72 holes. This bombers have benefited tremendously by weeks Layoff. Besides the much needed respite gave several of our boys a Chance to recuperate from rather aggravating injuries. Don Smith has been ailing for several weeks with a Groin injury and though he May not be in perfect shape he has at least Given himself a much needed rest. The boys can now buckle Down with renewed vigor. Feel sure every Man concerned is More than prepared to give the highly touted Sta Peclers everything they be got How much they be got is what we All will have to wait for have been rumours Here and there that Les Lear s Swash buckling cowboys May throw the game in Regina but i think or. Lear is too smart for that. For one thing if Calgary let up any at All Regina would right quickly Knock their socks off. Believe me Regina is still in this thing.

Liked Florence and Johnny Warren of w.ii.i., Jraul Cholakis of the hods and several others who one Day soon could add Speed and punch to he bomber attack. A a a thought too i d mention the punting game As i saw it this week. Don t believe i be Ever seen so Many blocked in. All my life with All due regard to the various coaches around the town i d question first Why if a punter has a Lane of blocking up the Middle should he walk out of that Lane to do his kicking on several occasions the punters have had Good blocking in that Middle Lane and the punt was blocked Way off to the right whether that style of kicking has come from the soccer influence or from some Canadian i do not know but certainly it must be said that distance and accuracy Are immensely hampered by this Side of the foot kicking. Like a golfer or a baseball player the punter should kick straight through the Ball with the proper snap of the knee and sufficient follow through. That Lane up the Middle is for the punter s Protection not just for the record. For proof take a look at the Best punters in the game. Offsides a new Market opened up for tobacco manufacturers or.
