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."

B Shrine Teams
Battle Saturday
PENDLETON lPt The third
game In the annual class B Shrine
all -star football game will be
played here Saturday night before
an expected crowd of 8.000.
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.

Record Field
Of Gunners
After Honors
VANRALIA. 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 .
