catches prove Hes still got it by de Tail make it one Small step for the Winnipeg Blue one giant leap for Cory the bombers took a size Large step to helping resuscitate their 2000 Cal season yesterday with a critical 3027 win Over the Montreal a Vic tory that stopped a two game and Cory Philpot took an equally important step in proving to folks across the Cal theres still some life left in his 30yearold now the bombers starting tailback following the release of George Jones last played a key role in the bomber Victory by Rushing for 60 Yards on 18 carries and catching three passes for 37 i believed i could get the Job done said who carried just 42 times last season backing up Deland Mccullough after missing All of the 1998 sea Ive been sitting around for three Ive been waiting for an Opportunity like a lot of people didst believe in a lot of people didst believe i still had one of the Montreal Spe Cial teams coach Dave came up to me and i really didst think you had it any that what everybody but i know in my heart i can still go out there and play for two More years and get the Job i got the Chance to go out and play for four quarters and show what i could Philpots spirited runs helped take pressure of bomber starting Quarter Back Khari Jones and two of his three catches were for first bombers continued from Page c5 the bomber win was keyed by the Gritty work of quarterback Khari the solid play of the bombers defensive dozen and an enormous play by the special i who didst throw a pass All finished the afternoon 24 of 36 for 273 with touchdown tosses to Milt Stegall and Robert Gordon and two i the defence sacked als starting Pivot Stanley Jackson subbing for the injured Anthony Calvillo four held running Back Mike i run like that Philpot right were in the situation where we have seven games to go and were trying to get a playoff in the next seven games in going to run like its my i want my team to get in the ref bashing dept the bombers were twice nailed on rough Singth passer once by Bennie goods and the second time by Ron while the Alou ettes were not called for similar infractions on and that had several coaches and play ers i always thought if you they we rent allowed to touch said bomber head coach Dave referring to a second Quarter Jones run in which he was hit by als line Backer Kelly Wiltshire after but obviously they Bennie just tried to hold him up and i dont think Ronnie was All that bad he tried to hold him if he had gone in and drilled him to the then i would think that would be a he Jones took some big mostly after he threw the added guard Brett the refs we rent protecting they were protecting Montreal quarterbacks out quotable bomber defensive end Bennie goods picked off his first pass in his 11year Cal gobbling up Troy Baileys deflection of Stanley Jacksons pass the Ball just happened to fall in my said the Only disappointing thing about it was i break away and show my True Pringle to 84 Yards on 16 carries and picked off two i and with just Over three minutes remaining and the bombers trailing linebacker Antonio Armstrong blocked a Terry Baker recovered the Ball and bolted 38 Yards for the Gam winning the bombers have now blocked six kicks this equalling a team and Are two blocks Short of tying the Cal Mark of that blocked punt was bomber at its we got a big play when we needed and that the Way weve got to keep playing with said bomber guard Brett Jones continued from Page c5 that old time beamed head coach Dave it was All that and As has been the Case most of the Jones once again took a beat ing this time from one of the Cana Dian football leagues More physical defensive and every time he was knocked to the he needed help to get up even once near the sidelines by bomber equipment bus Driver and Jack of All trades Charlie he told me he didst want to get up on his own because he didst want to push off with his throwing said bomber guard Brett we dragged him iced him up on the sidelines and got him right Back out the Guys a he played with one Arm out he kept dragging himself off the mat and he kept coming c it dragging inspires his himself off ill Tell you me mat and were Cooling going to h k if keep Bat Dack la thing for inspires his ill Tell you were Gong to keep battling for reminds me of Matt Dunigan in the huddle because Hes got a steely Glare and when he Calls a play you know offensive lineman youd better Brett Macneil go to War for on Winnipeg quarterback Khari his stare in the huddle might be the Only part of Jones game that even remotely resembles he Doest have the Dunigan swagger and he sure As hell Doest burst out of a shirt the Way the former bomber signal caller but what Jones did yesterday went a Long Way to helping establish him self As the bombers clearcut 1 there Are still questions about his but nobody is doubting his determination to put a stranglehold on the starting a a Posi especially not his that was said Slomback Milt Hes out there hurting and everybody knows Hes out there a lot of Guys would just walk off the Field because they cant take Hes Tak ing Hes sticking in Hes throwing the Hes out there Gri but Hes doing what he has to Hes a his mothers in the so he has to show off for his Hes a Tough Hes out there sucking it what More can you ask from a Guy How bout a repeat performance next week in Hamilton and the week
