Of their Effort wednesday we think it s just As Well for the rest of the teams in the Canadian football league that to Scott chose to play out his option last year and head for Cleveland. Just think of the explosive Power had Scott Margene Adkins and Vic Washington been in the same Backfield.

But i have too much Pride. I am a Winner and i want to be with a Winner and you can t win this Way. Allen has been a big Factor in our losing and there is very definitely disharmony on the Carpenter said he regretted skinners action and denied that he Ever interfered with the of oration of the team on the Field. He acknowledged however that he had stepped in frequently to try to Cool Down Allen s rebel Lious moments. Allen was suspended for nearly a month after he missed two Ball games in new York.

It could Well be one of the highlight football matches of the entire seasons. The Csc which brought wednesday s game to television viewers apparently made a Happy Choice when they selected Frank Rigney the one time Star bomber lineman to join their football commentating staff. We thought Frank handled himself exceptionally Well. He did t bore fans with a lot of Idle chatter something football television viewers have been subjected to much too often. What he said was always informative. Most pleasing of All he expressed himself in an entertaining manner. Rigney of course knows his subject. As he becomes More accustomed to the Job of voicing his opinions we expect he will Start telling fans what to look for and Why.
