Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 26, 1949, Winnipeg, Manitoba Page Winnipeg free press. Monday. September 26. 1949 the play. Until the closing minutes and kept heading in the Smith for Twenty seven minutes saturday afternoon at Osta Orne stadium supporters the Winnipeg Blue bombers received a pleasant Surprise pleasant because the local pigskin stalwarts were leading 6 to 0 after that time and had offered surprisingly stiff resistance to the powerful Saskatchewan roughriders who had figured to Roll Over them like a tank. But then in quicker time than it takes to say touchdown even you stutter the Roughieh had a pair them. The Ball game was As Good As Over then and there. It was the combination a gentleman by the name Darrell Wardin and thai powerful weapon the Forward pass which proved to be Loo much for the. Bombers saturday. They could t Stop either them although hey did have slightly More Success with the latter than they did the former. Not since Bob Sandberg made a one Man show out the 1947 Grey cup final in Toronto against the argonauts have we seen a player monopolize a game the Way Wardien did saturday. To say he was terrific is an understatement the greatest magnitude. As far As we Are concerned the riders Victory was Wardien s Victory. The Montana boy who went to the Saskatchewan club from Calgary did just about everything a football player is sup posed to do and then some. His Ball carrying was something you read about but Seldom see As time after time he ripped through the Winnipeg line like a Sharp knife cutting off the top a tur nip. Besides that he passed for one the riders touchdowns while his 49-Yard run Back a kick was one the thrilling Fea Tures the whole game. Even the bombers lost and it was their sixth straight setback the longest losing Streak in the history the club watching Wardien do his stuff made the fans feel that they would have been sorry had they missed the game. Next to we d like to toss a few bouquets to Ward Paul Cholakis. On the whole this Young Man has been we think the victim too much publicity when a Junior. In Early bomber games it appeared to us As he might have taken up a Little too much with his own importance to play the kind foot Ball he is capable. But in any event Cholakis came Down to Earth saturday and to our mind was the Best Man in the bomber line up. Alert he not Only knocked Clown two Forward passes but intercepted three others. And the interceptions came at the most opportune times As far As Winnipeg was concerned. Had they been completed the riders would have undoubtedly been on their Way for touchdowns. In addition Paul later crossed up the smart Saskatchewan team when on a fake third Down kick he ran the Ball some 17 Yards for a first Down. Cholakis also showed us that he can throw a pretty fair and accurate Forward pass. And what s More he can do it on the run which is More than Bob Sandberg whose been doing most the pitching since Johnny Gardiner was injured can do. A a a surprising feature and the fans were Quick to see it too was the Way the local boys held up. In the final Quarter Larson took All his imports off the Field and sent in an All Winni Peg team. You might have thought the Slaughter was really going to Start then but the rookies did extra ordinarily Well. There seemed to be More imagination to the quarterbacking during the last 15 minutes than there had been All afternoon. With seven games left on their schedule before they wrap up their Moleskin until next year about the Best bombers can Hope for Between now and their final game is two wins. And they Aren t going to make any difference anyway. Still we do think the team has shown quite a lot improvement in its last two appearances although for some reason or other it continues to remain woefully weak on pass defence despite constant drilling by coach Larson.
