Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 21, 1954, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg tuesday september 21 -1954 Page 19 if skin Parab it was just As if there been no rest after saturday s fourth Quarter in Regina. The Blue bombers charged out on the soaking Turt at the Winnipeg stadium last night and Tore into the Saskatchewan rough riders just As coach Al Sherman said they would. After saturday s game in which the team made such a tremendous comeback in the fourth Quarter to produce a tie All the players Felt like going right tack on the Field and playing some the dismal wet conditions. The Slop was there again for them last night and the bombers better than James made his Brilliant dash around the end and Down the sidelines they were even much better than the roughriders. Jamers made it easier for Sherman s predictions about the team to Corne True. Al figured after the game in Regina that his team was at least a team and they d be extremely difficult to beat. When Ron Adams leaped on James Back on the 18-Yard line the Roughieh were beaten. Not on the scoreboard maybe but the run was All the bombers needed to convince themselves of something which they already believed. A the bombers figured they found themselves on saturday. The run was the Type of break a team on the move always gets. Before the Roughieh recovered they were knocked ing under a. 13-0 deficit. The fans loved it. As one fellow said i Hope they make like a Cash Register at they did pretty Well. The 28 Points was the highest score of the season and put the team within one of breaking Winnipeg has scored 118 Points but has had 119 scored against. The Rock like defence Sherman threw against the Roughieh last night should hold Down that Points against record. One play that bothered the bombers in Regina was Ken car Penters burst through the Middle for seven and eight Yards. V _ last night Sherman closed up the Centre of the line by sticking his three biggest Taen Huffman Tinsley and Savoie Side by Side. It was a Challenge too any Ball Carrier owned by the Roughieh. The weighty Trio they average around 245 Are too be moved out of the Way and Are among the most agile in the league. Huffman had himself a Field Day making tackles All Over the place. Evidence of the thorough Job done by these three and Stav Canakes and the ends Lumsden Grant and Vaccher is shown by the statistics which prove Bobby Marlow made Only nine Yards. He was buried so often he was Lucky not to drown. Although the line played exceptionally Well both offensively and defensively and James and Townsend shouldered the running Burden one of the most Workmanlike jobs was done by the Veteran quarterback Jack Jacobs. Always the recipient of Many glowing words when he stands i pack in his own arrogant fashion and Points his Finger at the receiver telling him where to and then throwing a completed pass Jacobs was hardly noticed last night and saturday afternoon. This is conclusive proof he did an excellent Job. Receiving Rock ribbed support from his line he handled a wet heavy Ball Many pitch outs to James and Townsend fearlessly. Then he would Duck out of the play. It was t until he himself ran the Ball in the fourth Quarter last night his uniform was even spotted with mud. Jacobs exhibited the same Type of brilliance both saturday and monday. It might be a sign of the times Pickin up yardage bombers took the ground route on 51 occasions last night did t throw a pass in either the first or third quarters former bomber line coach sol kampf was in the crowd was impressed highly first time he s seen the bombers in High gear since 1950 pleased with the team s performance some optimistic fans were Yelling to the line a Mon Lumsden intercept a Tom Casey was Back in holding the Ball for Bud Korchak on the placement kicks re Union of a team successful Over the years both teams fumbled in the one Yard line James for the bombers and Carpenter for the roughriders Jesse Thomas made one Fine run in his offensive stint even though the roughriders did t know Jack Jacobs was going to Quick kick in the fourth Quarter quite a few of the fans guessed the strategy they took one look at Jacobs in a spread formation and after the incomplete pass on first Down they said now watch for the Quick that s what happened and the riders were caught Flat footed Geoff Grain got in for the final play of the game and Sherman used everyone he dressed quite a few players saw offensive action besides the regular unit Sokol Huggins Savoie Canakes Bud Korchak even got an Opportunity to run with the Ball and made 13 Yards the fans gave Joe Zaleski a lot of vocal support As he moved the team Down the Field in those final minutes for the last to head Peg Junior link i a wet there was plenty of water around the Winnipeg stadium last night As the Blue bombers and Saskatchewan roughriders tangled.

New York Nyht while attention was concentrated on he Marciano Charles fight last week boxing lost a great gentle Man and distinguished ambassador. Frank erne lightweight Champion of the world at the turn of the Century in Soth year. His last illness took his last Dollar. He who had always made his Way alone was broke at the end and he left mrs. Erne in financial difficulty. She need not be. Boxing could take care of Frank erne s widow without beginning to repay its debt to Frank decision be made thursday at a meeting b tween the four Lake head teams. Represented at sunday s Gath ering were Winnipeg monarchs Winnipeg Barons St. Boniface canadians fort William Hurri canes and port Arthur Bruins. In Winnipeg comment received from Junior hockey officials was All favourable. Most enthused was Bill fudge Dynamo manager of the Winnipeg Barons. This is the salvation of Junior hockey in said fudge provided of course that the Deal goes through and we have every reason to think that it will. A three team league just could t draw enough fans to make it a sound proposition financially. This is definitely a step erect immaculate courteous he was a walking contradiction a briskly striding of the ugly picture so often drawn of his sport. All those who imagine the pugilist especially the pugilist of Frank erne s Day As a muffin cared Bruiser in Cap and sweater with a Mouthful of marbles should have had the experience of meeting and talking with this sprately gentleman. Many did for although Frank probably never thought of him self As an ambassador for boxing he was just that and he worked . When world War ii was Over for most of us he remembered those for whom it would never end. Well along in his 70 she continued his rounds of the veterans hospitals giving his time and strength As he had done during the War to visit Atlantic City Northport Castle Point in an Effort to cheer the kids there. Nobody could talk with More eloquent conviction of boxing As a pure science. A Good punch he would say starts All.

He would be on his feet Demon Strating this Little old Man. You feint him this Way feint him that Way and then he starts when the new Arena is comple Ted we Hope that this will Lead to a Manitoba Thunder Bay league rather than merely an inter Locking schedule. We might lose a Little Money at the Start of the year but i Hope Well be Able to pick it up later when the fans become accustomed to the idea. Winnipeg teams will have to show Well at the Start of the year of course to stimulate fan fudge went on to say that he suspects that How Manitoba teams fare this year will play a Large role in their future relations to the new Arena. I Don t imagine the new Arena Bosses will be interested in having a team that can t draw playing i of his team fudge says he feels they Are 45 per cent Stron Ger than last year. By Orchard Barons club president who attended the Lakehead said he believed things would work they have a few things to out among themselves which is the purpose of the thurs Day meeting. They will then Send a representative to Winnipeg to finalize All like fudge Orchard Felt it was a step in the right direction and also believed that it might Lead to a regular league. Mani Toba Thunder Bay playoffs have always and there is a keen rivalry Between the two on a More wry note Orchard added dryly it better work out. This is. Going t of boost our expenses a great Deal and if the fans Don t get behind us we re finished. However i think any thing would be an improvement Over last year. If it works it will keep us Pat who represented Winnipeg monarchs at the meet ing was not available for com ment As he is attending the Tor onto Maple Leafs training Camp. Coach Walter Monson however commented favourably on the new move. The league needs outside com he said. This should be a Good thing for Winnipeg and will probably help the Lake head As Well. I m behind it All the great playoff hockey Here Between the two leagues has always been of a High calibre the fans should like it. The Only stumbling Block i can see might be financial a executives of St. Boniface canadians could not be reached for comment but an ear Lier conversation with Larry Desjardins former club president indicated that the St. Boniface organization was wholeheartedly behind the 7nove. Playoffs will be conducted this teams in Manitoba and the top two teams in the Thunder Bay area will play off among themselves. The two survivors will then clash to de cide a Manitoba Thunder Bay Champion.

It was originally St Boni head on sheer once in a while it might occur to a fascinated listener that Frank punched better at 75 than he had at 25.

Broin said he went regularly. Ever see anybody you could t Benny asked. Good. So just stay there in your sometimes when Frank Orne was talking you had a notion that he could still climb out of a ringside seat and take care of himself All right he was that convincing. He could Tell tales of men whose names Are Only legend today Jim Jeffries and Bob Fitzsimmons George la Vigne the Saginaw kid George Dixon terrible Terry Mcgovern Jack Skelly who fought for the world title in his first professional bout Joe cans the old master. Frank was one of the now dwindling company that Gans who May have been Pound for Pound the greatest that Ever lived. Knew him Frank fought him twice although that would t necessarily mean they really knew each other. Chatting with Georges Carpen tier in Paris some years ago Frank Graham inquired about a fellow who had always interested him Bombardier the punching englishman with the crockery Chin. What was he Graham asked. I. Could t say car rentier said never knew it could be that Way some times. Man goes to Ghent and belts a Guy out in four rounds goes to London and. Belts him out again in one rever gets formally introduced. Frank erne knew Gans though. They went 12 rounds together in 1900 and Gans quit with an in jury asking to have the bout stopped. That would be scored As a knockout today but in erne s record it merely reads making weight became difficult and Frank moved up one division to fight Nuibe ferns for the welterweight championship but lost by a knockout. So he made the lightweight limit for a second bout with Gans and was flattened in one minute 40 seconds. That Cost him the Champion ship he had won from kid la Vigne in 1899.
