( PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1954 Canada's Weird Style Of Football Beginning By JACK HAND TORONTO lifl Football in Au ' gust? Three downs to go 10 yards'; Twelve men on a team? Five points for a touchdown? A 55-yard line? Man, you must be out ol your mind. It sounds like a midsummer night's dream but It's on the level Canadian style. The "big tour' Eastern Intel-provincial Rugby Football Union) opens its season Saturday with united states T cameras (NBC) blinking down on the Canadian game lor the first tunc. To most U. S. citizens. Canadian football has been some vague t game flayed by quaint clubs called the "Argonauts" and the "Alouettes." It has been hard lor them to . understand why "name Dlavers deserted the National League pro clubs to go north ol the border. The answers run all the way from "More money, less work'' to "I like the wide open game better." whatever the reason. ' there is no question that the Ca nadian fans like this frec-wheelliiK game with emphasis on individual el fort. All "Big Four" teams are coached by former U.S. collegians. 1 Bespectacled Frank Clair, ex -Ohio State, bosses the Toronto Argonauts who open at home Sat urday against the Ottawa Rough Bldors. coached by Clem Crowe, who played In front of the "Four Horsemen" at Notre Dame anfi held various U. S. coaching jobs. "Pea Head" Walker, formerly ol Vale and Wake Forest, is coach of the Montreal Alouettes who play the Hamilton Tiger-ats, handled by Carl Voyle3, once Brooklyn Dodgers coach. The Toronto-Ottawa game will get the TV treatment the fiml week but all clubs will be seen during the 14 - wqek season climaxed by the Grey up game in which the "Big Four" champ plays tho winner of the five - team Western Interpvovlncial Rugby Football Union (Winnipeg. Regina. Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouv crt. Each team can have, 10 "Im ports'' but only nine can dress lor any one game. The squads are permitted to dress a total of 28 nlavera. Although the rules vary wldclyl from the U.S. game, Canadian tans claim you wilt not see too much difference .between their game and that played in the states. Each team has 12 men, five In the bBckfleld with an extra wing back, called the Hying wing. All clubs use the T - formation with spllt-T variations. The Held Is 110 yards long and 65 yards wide as compared to the 100 x 53 1-3 in the U.S. You have to make 10 yards in three downs, instead ol four, and are not allowed to take time out except for Injury. There is no such .thing as a penally for backs in motion as Canadian backs can move in any direction behind the line of scrim mage, before the ball is snapped. No blocking is permitted 10 yards behind the lino and all punts must bs run back with no fair catch allowed. Scoring is different, too. A touch down (majors) counts five, a con version one, a field goal three and a safety two. There Is one extra gimmick, called a "rouge", thai counts one point. You score a "rouge" by punting either over the back or side of the 25-yards deep end zone or tackling the re ceiver before he gets out or tile md zone. Last year there wasn't a slmtlo tie game in the entire schedule, largely because of the "rouge." ih MSf Pit V ivChft x v x THI RSDAY'S BASEBALL By THK ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL LtAGlK W L Pet.

The series between east and west high school graduates Is even. The West won Ihe opening game in 1952, 12-0, and the East won last year. 19-0. Ray Stephens of Amity, the West coach, and John Comisky of Union, the East ccach. said their squads were In excellent condition. A final light workout was scheduled Fri day. The West squad has been working out here, the East squad at La Grande. The East will go Into the game with a 12-pound-per-man weight advantage In the line. The West hopes to overcome that with speed and a passing attack. No Depth Hinders Russians BERN, Switzerland fP Just how far have the Russians come since Helsinki in their calculated drive to build a track and field team that can rival America in Olympic competition? They have made marked prog ress, it's true, as results in two days of competition in the Euro pean Track and Field Champion ships here have shown. But they still lack depth once you get past their outstandmg stars. And you need those seconds and thirds in world class competition.,. The Soviets also don t appear to have a well-rounded squad when they face the outside world. Here yesterday at Neufeld Sta dium they failed to place a man in the 100-meter final. Winner Heinz Futterer of Ger many had a time of 105 and he was the only finalist who could measure up against America's crack sprinters. Such top Russian men as hop, step and jump world record holder Leonid Scherbakov and 400-meter hurdles world beater YryJ Lituev appear . able to hold their places as No. I in their specialties. Ar dalion Ignatjev ran 400 meters al most coasting in 47 flat In the semifinal and looks capable of battling anyone for first place. But there's no one too outstand ing In the 800 or 1.500 meters. Eugenij Bulanchik, bald 110- meter hurdler, may win the Euro pean title here for he's not in the class of American hurdlers. Most titles still are to be decided but Russia has entered nobody of importance in the high or broad jumps. They boast world class men in the Javelin and hammer and hammer and athletes of substance in the shot and discus. Russia still has two more years before the Melbourne Olympics in 1966. They have come along well since 1952 and the next years of comDetition against the outside vorld should bear results. r 'SO WOMEN'S TRIO linnl W L Loiters 29'" "j; ttolly Terrors J Three Devils 27 21 Screwballs 23.

Ohio lP A rec ord field of more than 2.000 fired Friday in quest of trapshooitng's greatest gold and glory in the 55th Grand American handicap. The 100-target event in which shooters are placed from 17 to 25 yards back of the traps according to shooting ability, is the feature event of the roaring Grand Amer ican's week-long barrage here. In keeping with a 54-year tradi tion, some unknown is expected to walk off with the top guaranteed prize of $1,500 and a possible $10.- 000 payoff if he plays the entire optional system. The title most coveted In the clay target sport never has been won by a woman or an outstand ing favorite. No one has won it twice, and in 54 years only five men have been able to break the entire 100. Winners have ranged from a 14- year-old boy to a 10-year-old man. Vern Thornborrow, 34-year-old Oanadian from Hamilton, Ont., put the "kiss of death" on his chances to win Friday by taking tne preliminary handicap Thurs day with a perfect score of 100 from 18 yards. Only one man, R. R. Barber of Paulina, Iwa, has ever been able to take both the preliminary and the Grand Amer ican handicaps the same year. Barber did It back in 1905. Thornborrow, a 5-foot-5, 134- pounder, who never before had won any trapshooting award picked ' up about $5,000 Thursday as he used a second hand shotgun to defeat a field of 1.683 in his iirst attempt here. Trabert Arrives At Turning Point By OAVLE TALBOT NEW YORK I There is a strong feeling in tennis circles that young Tony Trabert is about to reach the turning point of his ca reer in the National Champion snips, which begin tomorrow at Forest Hills. The expectation is that the de fending champion either will win the event for the second time so decisively as to stamp him the world's greatest amateur without question, or will fall back into the ranks of those players who didn't quite have it. Nobody' seems quite sure which it will be. Since he crushed his countrymen, the young man from Cincinnati has been an authentic puzzle. When he had a chance to win the Davis Cup in Australia on the third day of the Challenge Round at Melbourne, he suc cumbed to Lewis Hoad. That was his third defeat In four Challenge Round matches over a two-year period. Later, in the state cham pionships at Adelaide when the heavy pressure was off, he trimmed Hoag decisively In straight sets. , A partial explanation offered for Tony's in-and-out play in recent months is that he has been trou bled by blisters on his racquet hand. But he did not have them when he was getting walloped in Australia. Billy Talbert, who was Tony's original sponsor and doubles part ner, said recently the youngster's only trouble was that he couldn't play quite as good tennis as he thought he could, and that he nev er would be a leal standout until he quit mooning around and threw himself completely Into the came. We wouldn't be surprised if this hurt Tony, coming from his old friend, but it probably did him a lot of good too. If he knows now that he can't afford to be sensitive about the crowd cheering for his opponent, as he was in Australia last winter, and needs to bear down with his big game on every point, then he and Seixas might bring that cup back the next time. We haven't anyone else even near ly good enough .
