Clair s seems rather Micro by Don Blanchard if you Haven t already cried yourself out shed a tiny tear for the professor Frank Clair. Clair Dean of Canadian foot Ball league coaches is the master a manipulator of the Ottawa rough riders. Who Are Here to Strain breastbone against the Blue bombers in an exhibition game at Winnipeg stadium tonight. Game time is 8 o clock. Now Dott go overboard and drown the esteemed or. Clair in sympathy. Unless ton Tiger cats Olio won the Grey cup last december were a. Myth Clair is. The proud i possessor of the second Best football team in the conference right now. Granted in View of the situation in Winnipeg where Joe Zaleski is trying to pick up the pieces of a dynasty Long since turned to problem Copic. But they re very real indeed if you Jive in Ottawa As Clair does. Another second place Fin ish quite possibly could be deemed the biggest tragedy since the Ontario Beer strike. If we can get Oft to a Good Start i think we have a Chance this a serious Clair said sunday without blinking. In this part of the continent Winni Eggers have been won Dering if the Blue bombers Are going to get off to a Start period. Never mind the adjectives. Everybody of course realizes that Clair owns the most explosive offence from Calgary to Halifax. And there s nothing wrong with the defence. Nevertheless their geographic locations deem it necessary that they play in the same division As the Tiger cats who except for always make life miserable for Clair and company. Clair not surprisingly con siders Hamilton the Power in the East this year. They have a set team just like Calgary has in the West and we re still not the professor was. Telling anybody who cared to listen at a press conference last night. And believe it or not the Roughieh do have problems although Zaleski would love to make another Deal with Ottawa trading his problems for Clair s. The professor for has so Many Good guards he s worrying about when hell have Choice for the the deadline to th6 record their names Are Schutte Perdrix both and Braggs and Sebeck a couple of new Comers. Hit also has a running Back named Coleman whom almost any coach in Canada would like to have. But Coleman the former Stampede Star failed to report to the riders in Good condition and is still to reach the form he displayed at Calgary. He a also been bothered by the knee it had operated on during the off season. For Clair Coleman presents Ono of the Large question Marks on the club. Are you listening Joe behind Coleman he has a Fine Canadian performer named Rick Black and a Young Man who could prove the big find of 1968, Vic Washington. At the Mere mention of Washington c1 a i r s nervous stomach literally purrs. I d like to have More like him. He s one of the finest All round athletes i be Ever seen and a pleasure to beamed the professor. Young and has a lot to learn but i think he s going to be great the last time Clair found occasion to make a statement anywhere near that glowing about a new rider Margene Adkins joined the club last year. Adkins was the outstanding newcomer in the country in 1967. And it figures the speedy pass grabbing end be even better this season. Washington will be playing in the Ottawa secondary tonight. We re inexperienced in some positions and it could Hurt us in the Early going this Clair concedes. Rookies make mis takes and it showed up in our exhibition games to having six on his 32-player roster is deemed As a serious Hazard by Clair. This should make Zaleski weep. Clair even considers players acquired in trades Are Rool ties because they re new to the Ottawa system. However he s been extremely pleased with the work Bill bowed to Pittsburgh pirates 6-0 Van Burkleo a backup Quarter Back and defensive Back he pried from the Blue bombers during the off season. Clair is convinced that Bidy Vee is the answer to a problem that has gnawed away at him for years the Lack of a solid replacement should Huss Jack son meet with an Accident Russ has been fortunate thus far but now if he gets Hurt we should be Able to absorb the loss much More better than we would have Billy Vee incidentally will share the quarterbacking with the Brilliant Jackson tonight. Clair is also pleased with the work of Al Miller the other bomber to go to Ottawa in the two for three Trade. But Miller is getting some Competition from Rookie Bob Junko in the Battle for the outside Lineba eking Slot. Stray passes other than the occasional new face the rough riders will look strikingly familiar tonight most of the changes this year will involve the Bench strength with new canadians trying to fit into the scheme Clair and assistant coach Mote had some High Praise for Don Gil Bert who came to Winnipeg from Ottawa along with Jim Cowboy and Chuck Harrison in the Afore mentioned Trade Gilbert is rated by the Ottawa staff As an excellent Blocker Mote in fact indicated that Gilbert s blocking As a halfback made Ted Woods of Calgary look like a girl guide in comparison Woods is regarded As the Best blocking Back in the West Ottawa used Gilbert s solid blocking to Spring Ron Stewart and to Scott last season he could be the answer to getting Dave Raimey some Elbow room and also fullback Butch Pressley if he s As Good As they say he is Gilbert will be playing halfback tonight Clair says that if Gilbert has a weakness it s his Lack of size.
