August 28, 1952 m Oira Paratte it s during the football season everyone gives to the Community Chest in an Effort to help those unfortunate enough not to be Able to help them selves. It s not quite that bad with the Blue bombers but unless some body starts giving pretty soon it will be too late for anybody to help. The Ball club is Only a wee step out of a the . Pair of victories this week end while Edmonton takes care of Calgary could fix this but they that close to a spot deep in the cellar. The schedule May be a gruelling one to Alj coaches in the it s actually a Short which1 a team can Sud Denly find itself trying to hop on the train after it has left the station.

Regardless of who is running the club Jacobs or Zaleski whenever either Steps on the Field it should Roll. You know there is something about this game that All the Money in the world can t that s personal Pride. Players can be offered Money inducements to inspire greater efforts but until they feel their own failure or the failure of the team is a blow to their Pride they Seldom do anything about it. That was the Way it was in 1950 when Fellows like Jacobs tins Ley Casey and Brown first arrived in the City. They Felt it would i have been a blow to their Pride if they had t Given Winnipeg a Winner. They Felt it was their duty to the City. That Ball club had tremendous were bubbling with enthusiasm at All times.

But then they la sit Back and say to themselves you know we re a Devil of a lot better football team than we have been. These other teams Are making monkeys out of us that s when the team will Start to Roll. I m not saying they la win them Al from there but they la be plenty dangerous.
