THE OTTAWA JOURNAL 21 Trimble Expects Tigers to Provide Tough Opposition FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1940. Stan O'Neil in Uniform As Riders Sharpen Up on Plays Team Works Under Floodlights at Lansdowne Park Tackling Drill Saturday With SUn O'NeU in uniform lor the first time. Rough Rider whaled away for the better part of two hours under floodlights last night at Lansdowne Park in preparation for their first game with Tigers one week from tomorrow in Hamilton. As Coach Ross Trimble summed It up: "Tigers will be tough in their own town, in fact tough anywhere this season. Massucci (Coach Art Massucci) is building a real contender in Hamilton this year and the kind of material he has to fool around with will command attention.

Players like Mike Hedgewick, Vito Greco and Teddy Manorek are' good enough for any league. Rough Riders can't afford to take any chances against a team like this. We'll have to keep on tcpof them at all times." Riders Show Trimble certainly called the turn on Rough Riders' opening engagement. The team will hare to be at its best if it hopes to beat the Tigers on their home grounds and the Eastern Canada champions dug into their work last night with a "punch" that brought a smile of satisfaction' to Trimble's face. Trimble split the team up into two squads with Orville Burke and Arnie McWatters calling the signals and the teams rehearsed a host of new formations.

Everyone was on hand for the practice. O'Neil didn't see much action In the workout The former Pittsburgh backfielder suffered an injured left leg before the training campaign started and will work up to the practices gradually. O'Neil is still cne of the best plunging backs in Eastern Canada. Bunny Wads worth quit the workout early, complaining of a sore kg.

23. CP) Harbor-front officials said today that "certain elements" appear to be at work among foreign seamen in Montreal, attempting to "persuade them to to work their ships out of the port unless higher wages are granted. There are reasons to believe that certain elements are at work In the local Greek cafes; aggravating the said Cmdr. C. J.

Stuart, naval officer in charge of the Port of Montreal. More than SO Greek seamen were taken into custody last weekend for refusing to work their ships. They had been held in the Dominion Immigration Service building but this week most ef them were removed to Bordeaux jail. "Some Greek ships have had to take on substitute crews before Cmdr. Stuart said.

"The situation with regard to the Greek ships in this port, however, bad. many boats being held up on account of the seamen who are offered good wages and war bonuses by the owners, but who still refuse to go to.sea until higher wages are paid. iv-f Altogether, we still have about so seamen in custody, some being here, some st Bordeaux, and there others ranging around the town, annoying the ship agents, and refusing to go on One instance of a more serious type of activity was said to have occurred just recently.

Trimble at first thought of having the team divided into two squads for a practice gam tomorrow afternoon, between the "Reds and the but changed bis mind. There are still several minor injuries on the squad and Trimble decided against taking a chance on them. Instead, a tack' ling drill and scrimmage will be held.

Leo Seguin, with his left hand still wrapped in a cast, took his turn at middle wing. Trimble is counting on the former St. Pat's athlete being a big help to the club this year. George Sprague, who is now located in Toronto with the R.C. A may have trouble cutting down on his weight Argos, who have Sprague under their wing for a middle wing post, have lound that the Ottawa lineman is away over his weight.

But Sprague is still a handy guy to have around. The teams lined up last night as follows: Taylor, snap; Syms and Pilon, insldes; Burke, quarter; Seguin and Hyslop, middles; Leech and O'Connor, outsides; Hazel, flying wing; Edwards.

Trimble may cut down the squad again before the end of the week by lopping off the names of two of the younger players. in his ship, with the result that the vessel was unable to keep up with a convoy and became more vulnerable to attack.

Patrick's College To Have Illuminated Roll of Honor As a large clock in an adjacent niche slowly ticks out the seconds and minutes and hours, a perpetual light will illuminate a roll of honor to be erected In the entrance hall of St Patrick's College. "This roll will contain the names of all young men from the college now serving with the navy, army and air force stated Rev. Gerald E. Cousineau, Wednesday afternoon when he showed a Journal reporter the still empty niche. "We plan to harmonize the border and design of the roll of honor as much as possible with the adjacent, niche containing the clock.

Stained wood of a cimilar type will bt used for the frame. The roll oi honor will be surmounted by the college crest and the Union Jack and the Canadian flag. The name will be typed. Incidentally, Rev, L. P.

M. Devine will paint the crest after it is done in fretwork." Father Cousineau said the perpetual light would be hidden behind the crest, but would play on the names day and night Most of the work was being done in the college workshops by pupils, while the Fathers' Club was whole heartedly behind the scheme. Father Cousineau estimates that approximately 3,000 young men have gone through the college in its decade of history. It believed that a goodly percentage of these were with the armed forces. He personally knew of 70 who had enlisted.

Eventually the list now being prepared would run into hundreds. "We have them in all arms of the service. Peter Lochnan and John Mulvlhill are officers in the Royal Canadian Air Force; Edward Newman is with the Royal Canadian Navy and Lawrence Sullivan one of the many with the Canadian Active Service Force.

Heywood Hale Broun, son of the late columnist, Oi NOT Culbertson DETERMINING the merit of a final contract is a difficult matter because many factors have to be taken into consideration. Naturally, the cards are of greatest importance, but the skill of the declarer and of the defenders must also be weighed.

An expert bids a grand slam whenever he thinks the odds favor success by about three to one. Against bad players he shades that to about two to one, but an expert finds three-to-one chances where the average player sees only an even chance. So, what would be a good contract for an expert may be a risky one for an average player. Take as an example today's hand. South, dealer.

Neither side vulnerable.

South should have contented himself with bidding a small slam to allow for an error. West opened the queen of clubs and South thought things over.

He decided to discard his low club on dummy's queen of diamonds and then bank everything on the spade finesse. When that failed, he said philosophically: has joined the sports staff of "P.M." One of the Cleveland insurrectionists is reported to have told Al Simmons: "I don't know whatever got me to go up to the front Helps Yankees Remain In Flag Race it mm i -By Ripley 1 Ovlndbv If I on Bridge "Serve me right for bidding a grand slam on a finesse." Much as declarer was to be commended for his stoicism, he did not show up very well as sn analyst. The spade finesse had nothing to do with his grand slam! Here is how an expert would play the hand. After winning the ace of clubs, the king and queen of hearts would be laid down, followed by the high diamonds. Then the top spades would be cashed and declarer's last spade discarded pn the diamond queen.

A spade ruff would establish the suit with the ace of hearts as entry. Only then would the losing club be discarded. By that line of play declarer would make the slam if the spade queen dropped singleton or doubleton, if the suit broke 3-2, or if East had four or five spades headed by the queen. And if East failed to follow on the first round. South could still discard a club on the diamond queen and return to his hand for the spade finesse.

Once trumps broke 2-2, declarer had a five to one chance. Quite a lot better than a finesse. TODAY'S HAND. North, dealer. North-South, vulnerable.

Open New Road To Rich Mineral Fields VAL OR, Sept. 28 (CP) The economic development of northwestern Quebec's rich mineral fields took a loijg forward stride today jivith the official opening of a new road piercing 159 miles of virgin bush and lake country to form the first direct highway connection with Montreal.

Premier Adelard Godbout and Hon. T. D. Bouchard, Quebec minister of roads, presided at ribbon-cutting ceremonies at either end of the new graded gravel stretch, which links Mont Laurier with Senneterre In the heart of the mining area developed during the last decade. No speeches were delivered at the brief ceremonies held in Grand Remous, 20 miles north of Msniwaki, and Louvicourt, 18 miles from Val d'Or.

The highway was opened for traffic July 24 and an average of 200 cars and trucks have rolled over it each day since then.
