The Cards didn't let anything stand in their' way Wednesday night as they ground out a 55-26 exhibition victory over the Cana dian Big Four Football Union team. Their line continually opened gaping holes and their rock-ribbed blocking continually kept the Canadian team ofrstride. , Only two of the 12 touchdowns came on passes, both thrown by Argo quarterback Ronnie Knox, on loan from the Chicago Bears. The Cards' eight TDs were divid ed eight ways.
