Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - October 28, 1953, Winnipeg, Manitoba Page 20 Winnipeg free october 1933 s labors could go no prediction passes Filchock tight lips special just before he boarded a train in Regina tuesday night alone with Saskatchewan rough coach Frank Filchock moistened a forefinger and raised his Arm in the it he like the weather will be fair for our playoff and he climbed aboard the train which carried the riders to Winnipeg for the first game in their Western football con Ference semifinal series with the Blue bombers to be played in Winnipeg the reference to the weather was the Only prediction Forth coming on the eve of the play off from a Guy who in the past has done rather Well in the prognostic Ting de bring in those roughriders Winnipeg Blue bombers will go into tonight semifinal series with Saskatchewan roughriders favored to win the opening despite the fact the riders were the hottest football club in the Western conference during the last month of the Campaign and realizing Frank Filchock and company beat the bombers four games to two Over the we still feel Winnipeg is the logical pregame k in their six games this there was Little Between the two while the riders hold a two game Winnipeg might easily have earned at least a split with the As it they outscored the ruffles in total number of Points in their own private bombers Are Given the Edge in the betting mainly because they Are playing on their Home where Treyve lost Only two games this had the first game been played to no doubt the riders would have entered theron test with the Odds in their it appears to be just that x Saskatchewan proved Over the season they can play just As Well on the Road As they can in Taylor in their Road record is one Point better than it was at the ruffles won four and tied one away from Taylor Field and scored four wins at the of were an extremely poor club away from the confines of their Home with Only two victories on the Gridiron of the k from a club that was going nowhere a few weeks the Blue and Gold now appears to have come out of the doldrums that marked their play about apparently they have improved both their attack and their mental the in the club is in Al physical k on other the while they possess the will to win and the mechanical attributes Good enough to beat the Are not the Healthiest Ball club in the they have Only one is in fit condition to one of their Best Stan is a while three other players on the club will not see on top of the ruffles just dont have the Bench strength the bombers and it is that Bench strength that could win for George Trafton if it is properly and astutely As Long As Frankie Filchock remains you cant underestimate those roughriders from Hes got the playing their hearts out for him and no doubt be working even harder to win for him tonight than it is the Type of fellow who can get his players to give for and that a wonderful the big question As we see it is whether old who is lighting off can stand up to the Rigours of playoff there is no question As to Filchock he Doest have to look at pictures to see he can spot pm on the and he can improvise his attack and defence to suit almost but whether his old old can stand up is another there is no doubt the line in front of Filchock is going to have to work overtime to give him adequate because with that Bonus Money dangling before their the bombers should be charging a Little harder than they might in league if they Frankie could be in for a rough evening in any event we feel if the bombers Are going to win this
