Ed Joyner, who played an outstanding game against the Argonauts earlier in the season, by putting a lot of pressure on Gabler, is also a possibility for action, but is expected to start the, game as the designated import After looking at the films of Saturday's game in which the Rough Riders tied Montreal, the coaches were confirmed in their opinion that Ottawa had played "grab bag football."

They're getting receivers into the act and this is something they haven't been able to do before. "But I think if we all work-hard enough this week we can beat them. I know the players want to work.
