IS- Ml- WICK The Ottawa Journal FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1959. Page 15 xj But Other Factors LLSi I- 'JJO CQACH in toy sport can exactly account for either tha nightmare of injurie striking bit team, or that altogether pleasant experience of noting an absence Of aerioui casualties. They Invariably ascribe it to the "breaks of the "gsme" or Indulgence In the age old practice of all coaches "keeping your fingers About the first thing Frank Clair said in Montreal after Monday' victory over the Alouettes concerned the 'Injuries. "Still keeping our fingers he muttered and then included thi usual term about being lucky so far. No coach would dare challenge the fates by either ignoring or underrating that luck angle where casualties, or rather the lack pf them, are concerned.

But last night the Rider ejoach while warily discussing the subject, ventured a thought sir two about his conviction that there was always other Important factors i tETDOWNS Hy believe that: the reduced by players through their own mental attitude. I know a( Jheme'h) harped on a lot Jii athletics, but jthere's a lot to it You can call it spirit or perhaps rake' up another term Out 11 all comes, back to mental attitude. "If bound to be important where injuries are concerned. a football player Is mentally alert and excited and aggressive, lie's not so apt to be hurt. It stands to reason that anybody tending around pn a klckoff or some of those wide plays can 6 rocked so much harder than if he's, doing a little rocking e)n bit own.

I mean by that if he's moving and alert and tjoing his job. It's no sure fire defence against something that could always happen, but I'm certain that the chances re multiplied for anybody. who happens to be loafing on soma )f those It' when you let down you're likely to get rocked." NOT IN THE There, is flurry of official concern now In Canadian otball over the recent fracas tunU and -Hamilton's Don -Paquette. There are the usual the.utual warnings about re automatic and obviously quite necessary. Thes outburst and the parties sides of the argument always seem to go in hand.

In no time it become a little more general with the 4ual side issues. For instance, a couple of fans were quick (p suggest that Hamilton president Jake Caudaur wasn't on the right track, if the quotes are correct, In suggesting that Paquette won't forget the attack. They feel this in inciting further rough incidents instead of letting this, one die out is It usually does." i You'd have to agree that the Hamilton' president's intervention was neither Judicious nor helpful But in the main the player theuitelfres are the one who will figure this one out. There. adults and There la only one end to a continuance of it a sharp Jab at the pocketbook.
