The Winnipeg Tribune from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada • Page 17

By JIM COLEMAN TORONTO There Is a strong suspicion that Eastern Canadian football audiences won't see the Winnipeg Blue Bombers again until the autumn of 1950 or, posi ibly, the autumn of 1951. Unlest the Canadian champion Calgary Stampeders have deteriorated alarmingly since last season, they should experience no great difficulty In retaining their Western honors from the Bombers, who are muddling through their second re organization of the post war period. The WlnnlpeggeLS equipped with several very good players and an over abundance of that quality known as "team but they appear to be at least a year away from the championship consideration. As a matter of fact, Winnipeg's best player on Saturday was our old. friend, Joe Krol, of the Argonauts.

In his long and Illustrious career, Joe has played great football for the University Easterners Gain 23 to 11 Victory TORONTO Toronto 'Argon lDon Smith and John Carpenter, auts unveiled their new Import But, after the first quarter, they studded football team Saturday and never looked powerful enough to the Americans helped provide a scoring punch that should reinstate Argns as a Big Four league title threat this season. Argos scored four touchdowns as they handily whipped Winnipeg Blue Bombers 23 11 In a charity exhibition contest before a Varsity stadium crowd of 10,000. United States Imports punched over for three of them and threw a toucn down forward for the other. Russ Reeder, a huge quarter back, and Ed Mittelsteadt, a barrel built plunger, looked 'like the prize results of Argos decision to abandon their all Canadian policy to meet changing competition. Reeder, former Detroit Lions professional, handled the team well in his first Canadian game, shared punting and passing duties with Joe Krol, and raced 20 yards for a touchdown.

He hit Royal Copeland with a 13 yard bullet pass for another major. Mittelsteadt, Junior All American from Buffalo University, twice cracked a yard through centre for touchdowns and was a consistent ground gainer. Argos converted three, of tneir majors, nxoi piace kicking two of the extra points andiyear old half, broke away for Byron Karrys the other, Imports also scored both Winnipeg touchdowns. Bob Sandberg, the big Mlnnesotan playing his third Bomber season, raced around end to give Winnipeg a 5 0 first quarter lead that Argos wiped out with a 17 polnt second quarter plunge. Early in the third quarter, end BUI Clawson from the University of Montana Intercepted a Krol forward and sped 65 yards to the payoff zone.

When Wally Edwards from the University of Minnesota converted this major, It left Winnipeg trailing by only 17 11. But Argos pulled away again before the quarter ended when Copeland made a diving catch of Reeder's forward pass and tumbled across the Winnipeg goallne. Coach Tedder Morris used seven Americans, two of whom were cut from the squad after the game end Barney Barnett from Kansas and centre Marty Breen, lormer Buffalo Bill who has a bad shoulder. Besides Reeder and Mittelsteadt, two others looked as if they'll do Ray (Tex) Whelan, a 230 pound snap who once played with Washington Redskins, and tackle Jerry Whalen from Buffalo Bills. Bob (Spud) Murphy, a 235 pound middle from the Philadelphia Eagles camp, arrived only a day before the game and was used sparingly.

The Dales came back to win the series after dropping the opener 5 1.

They won the next two with 1 0 and 8 7 wins. The Cardinals retaliated to take the fourth' game 6 3 before dropping the final. The South division champions will now go against Norwood, the North title holders In a best of seven series starting Tuesday night at xsorwood. Rosedales Jimmy Wilson returned to form and chucked a masterful four blttnr. The Cardinals' ace, Elliott Chorley was in his usual brilliant style and gave up only three hits to the winners.

Lumsden's long triple and an outfield fly accounted for the Red ROLL YOUR OWN BETTER CICAKETTES WITH of Western Ontario, Hamilton and Argonauts and, on Saturday afternoon, he decided to play one game for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. I 1 i JOE KROL prevent Morris from stretching his record to 9 0 over Winnipeg teams three pre war victories as a player, three post war triumphs in Dominion finals as, a coach and three decisions in exhibitions. Unless the Western Interprovin cial league is weaker than the Big Four, the Bombers looked as If they'll need strengthening. Their best man still was Sandberg, the former University of Minnesota ace playing his third Canadian season. Bob fought hard for their first touchdown, carrying the ball on three of four plays from the Argo 14 until he finally raced around end for the score.

He also out kicked Krol on occasions, getting away one in particular that went C5 yards in the air. Johnny Gardiner and Bill Claw son, Winnipeg's two Imports from the University of Montana, both showed well. Gardiner, a stock quarterback, completed several forwards with Clawson his main receiver, but a number of times was smothered as he seemed to take too long to get the ball away. Paul Cholakis, Winnipeg's 21 some good gains. The former jun ior helped set up one brilliant play in particular.

An onside kick was completed for a gain 6f about 50 yards when Cholakis, who was on side on the play, put two others onside as Winnipeg snared the ball on the Argo 10.

In the third quarter, our Joe rated bark and heaved the most beautiful pass of the afternoon. The ball spiralled and soared over the sun swept field. There was only one flaw in the execution of this play our Joe threw the ball directly to Bill Clawson of th Bombers, who nearly chuckled himself Into a state of exhaustion as he ran 67 yards for a Winnipeg touchdown. In the fourth quarter, our Joe went on a typical 15 yard jaunt through the Wlnniiwg line, moving as dexterously as one of his own club waiters juggling a tray load of beer, and then, Inexplicably, he dropped the ball, which, once again was recovered by Winnipeg.

The tournaments are becoming more popular each outing, and this one looks like money In the bank.

The pros will take male members in this event, and all pros are asked to have their entries In Les Beaven's hands by Tuesday at the latest. Aussies Doubles Champions BROOKLINE, Jack Jack Bromwich. and Billy Sidwell. the Australian Davis cup aces, needed only 50 minutes Sunday to win the national doubles titles from their countrymen, Frank Sedgman and George Worthington, 6 4, 6 0, 6 1. And they did It in such one sided fashion that most of the Impressed tennis students agreed that the defending American Davis cup quartet, three of whom faltered here, are decided underdogs for the challenge round trophy competition that opens next Friday at Forest Hills, N.Y.

What bothered the United States team most was the fact that Sedg (man and Worthington, playing to plons Gardner Mulloy and Billy Talbert, 6 4. 1 6. 7 5. 9 7. In their quarter finals.

Mulloy and Talbert have been named as the American team's double combination.

Our Joe has to gel at least one of those games out of his system every season and, today, the members of the Argonaut executive are congratulating themselves on the fact that he chose an afternoon prior to the opening of the regular Big Four schedule. This Argonaut team of 19 19 has I great potentialities.

On Saturday afternoon they appeared to be good jenough to finish third place In their own league. There was ample evidence, though, that with a few more weeks lof competition under their pads. lArgonauts could be good enough to regain the Grey cup, which they lost last year. We anticipate that considerable space will be devoted today In the public prints to the antics of the Argonauts' American Imports, notably Run Reeder and Ed Mid dlestadt However, considering that it was the first game of the season tor the Argot, there was Canoe Clubbers Li fit City Tennis Titles The Winnipeg City and district tennis championships were brought to a conclusion on Saturday afternoon, with four of the five open events going to the Canoe Clubbers, who had the advantage of playing on their own courts. Kae Otton, was the big winner, adding three more titles to her already Impressive list of tennis victories, and Incidentally success fully defending all three champion ships, which she won last season.

In the ladies singles Kae started slowly, dropping the first set to club mate Helen Dundee 3 6, but came back strongly to take the next two sets in decisive fashion 6 2, 6 1. She then teamed up with Evelyn McDermott to take the ladles doubles, with straight set wins over Betty Burns and Mary Derrick 6 3, 6 4, and then went on to win the mixed doubles, with uon yaen, witn anotner straigni set victory over wary LernrK ana Hod Hovcy 6 4, 6 1. Don Leyden proved he deserves top ranking in Manitoba tennis, when he downed Manitoba champion George Felstead in thiee sets, to the scores of 6 2, 6 4. 6 4. Don showed the large gallery of spec tators what can be done In three weeks of hard hitting practice.

KAE OTTON tr vvv. MnAaS 5. fl DON LEYDEN reason for observers to be Impressed by the work of the linemen. The forwards were charging viciously and, from a purely parochial standpoint, It wis heartening to see that. In these energetic manoeuvres, they were led by such veterans as Bill Zock and Frankie Morris, who obviously, are anxious to wipe out the memories In moments of crisis.

Coach Teddy Morris may be embarrassed by the riches which are at his disposal this seamn. Morris has a eWen good barkfielders and a platoon of linesmen and. when eventually he Is forced to cut down the size of his squad, he Is going to be faced by some derisions which will cau.se him to lose sleep. Suffice to say thai neither the Montreal Alouettea nor the Ottawa Rough Rlderv will have an edge over the Argonauts In manpower. MorrS' main problem lies In tho fact that the rules confine him to disgraced.

At the left, second string quarterback George Depres takes off for a shrt pass over the line and fellow back Don Smith (46) is ready for any emergency at the left. At the right, big Bob Sandberg trundles over from Leyden served with Increased pace and extreme crisp volleys for quick points, yielding only 15 points in the first sets. Felstead started the second set with a change of pace, plus a strong gusty wind, which forced Leyden Into errors, but Don kept forcing the game, and ran out the set 6 4. The final set followed service to four all, when Leyden scored heavily with his overhead, to take the last two games for set and match 6 4. The third set of the men's doubles between Hank Bennett George Felstead, and Hod Hovey.

Jack Woolven combinations turned out to be a thriller. Dropping the first two sets 6 1, 6 3, Hovey and Woolven pulled up their socks, and went ahead 5 1 In the third, only to have Bennett and Felstead tie It up at five all, and then play seesawed back and forth between the two teams, before Bennett and Felstead finally got the edge to take the long set 12 games to ten. Paul Granovsky won for himself the junior men's singles crown, de Soes Fires 65 At Southwood Allan Boes, urvperturbed by a sudden turn of events which saw him on the outside looking In at the Manitoba amateur final for a change, fired himself a seven under par 65 to come within one blow of equalling his own course record at Southwood, bunday. Playing In the Hough Cup competition, Boes was out In 32 and back In 33 to lead the field by a country mile. That's 11 pars and a string of seven birds, without a bogey In sight.

His 73 65 for a 138 plus two gave him a 140 and set him behind Jack Carmlchael, the winner, and Alex McRoble, the runner up.

Considering that their coach. Butch Larson, Is a stranger to the Canadian game, he has done an excellent job In a short time with the material at his disposal.

It was surprising to see a Winnipeg team essay only one long pas a wobbler which was thrown successfully by SamiWrg. It is In the line, though, that the Blue Bombers can't stand comparison with the Calgary Stampeders. The Calgary line, which played against Ottawa Rough Rldders Inst November, would out charge the current crop of Wlnnipeggers from now until next Michaelmas.
