When Ross Trimble's Rough Riders swept into their dressing room late Saturday afternoon, they were wearing the Canadian senior football championship mantle. The Crimson Tide had Just brought the Grey Cup to the Capital for the eleventh time in the 48-year history of the competition by defeating Balmy Beach on the snow-covered gridiron at Lansdowne Park in their second playoff meeting.

Cold and snow throughout the week, and damp, raw weather the day of the game cut the attendance to one-quarter of what it misht have been. As a result, somewhere In the neighborhood of 2.000 dyed-in-the-wool football enthusiasts were on hand when the RLder handed Beaches a 12-5 setback to take the two-game, total-points series by a 20-7 count on the round and end a fourteen-year championship famine for Ottawa's senior football club. The Trimblemen had carried a six-point margin into the contest. They saw all but one of those half-dozen points wiped out in the first five minutes of play. But they swept the Ontario Rugby Football Union monarch off their feet during the second half of the struggle.

They took advantage of a Beach fumble to send Tommy Daley around the left end fbr a touchdown, and they hammered away with single points on the strength of some remarkable kicking by Sammy Sward to capture the game and the series in convincing fashion. A riiamnlnnshln rrralrirnt. ft 4 1 ivrjs Did Him Share Ross Trimble flashes that winning smile and the reason is obvious. His Rough Riders are monarchs of Canadian senior gridirons this year and it is letting you in on no secret to tell you that the coach is a happy person these days. Trimble's record with Ottawa's senior football teams is a grand one and it is only fitting that The Citizen should: add "Congratulations, Ross!" Ross Trimble Escapes Shower The Rough Riders, back la their dressing room after winning the Canadian senior football title, gave three cheers for Coach Ross Trimble.

Someone yelled: "Speech, Ross," and some other person shouted: "Let's duck Knute In the showers." Trimble, grinning and happy about It all, drawled: "Why spoil a perfectly good day." So the players promptly forgot about tossing the coach In the showers and Ross escaped with nothing worse than a sore right hand. He got this, of course, shaking, with so many people who were anxious to congratulate him. tion from all sides of the room. But Dr. Sims was not the only man connected with Ottawa's last winning team who was present after the game.

Charlie Lynch, a quarterback on that occasion and a great pivot man, made a great sacrifice to see the game. Long Trip. He is Sgt. Major Charlie Lynch, 3rd Div. Supply, and he came all the way from Debert, N.S., to see Ottawa make another bid for a Canadian crown.

He made the trip here with Sgt. George Dudley and they arrived llttla more than an hour before the game started. They were in the dressing room after the game, with Lynch telling every player who would listen that this was a better team than the 1926 squad. Dave Sprague, among others, however, told Charlie he was merely being modest. Harold Starr, the deadly tackier of that previous championship squad, and Charlie Connell, flying wing on the same team and one of Ottawa's all-time gridiron greats, were also around, shaking hands with the boys and telling them how glad they were to see the team win another championship.

Brief Resume. The game itself, fully described in a story on the next was a dandy one for the spectators. Sward's fumble of a punt by Bobby Porter gave Beaches possession on the Ottawa 27 during the fifth minute of play. Don Crowe then took Porter's pass for twelve yards, the Riders were penalized seven yards to the seven-yard stripe for rough play and, on. the second down, Porter went over for a touch.

Crowe's placement-convert was blocked, leaving Beaches ahead on the game, 5-0, and Ottawa leading on the round, 8-7. Sward got one of those five points back with a boot to the deadline before the period ended and the teams played through the second quarter without further score. Ottawa was in command from the start of the second half. Sward kicked a rouge to Porter in the third minute and, a few minutes later, the Riders got a touch when Rick Perley recovered a fumble after Bunny Wadsworth hit Porter two yards out and Daley went over on a left extension. "Tiny" Her man converted to make it 8-5 on the game, Sward booted three last-period singles and Herman got a single on a low placement that rolled to the deadline to make the game and round-margin more impressive.

Dave Sprague Is Veteran Of Rider Gridiron Greats In football there is a certain stretch of the gridiron known as the "zone of intensive resistance." It ls that distance from the 25-yard line home. Where a team can make all kinds of headway In center fleld. that 7.one of Intensive resistance ls the toughest territory of all. It ls inside its own 25-yard zone that a team, forced on the defensive, rises to great heights. The Rough Riders have been almost invincible Inside their last 25 yard; this season.

Throughout the and the playoffs not a single team could strike on aperies of power plays for a touchdown inside the Ottawa zone. That ls, no team until Beaches did the trick on Saturday. Alex Ponton's O.R.F.U. winners, denied in the bid for their first Canadian gridiron championship since 1930, accomplished the feat in the closing game of the cam paign. How They Did It Shortly after the start of play, an Ottawa fumble gave the Beaches possession on the Rough Rider 27.

A smash at the line, a forward pass and two cracks off center sent Bobby Porter over for a major score to give Balmy Beach a distinction no other team the Riders have faced during the season have been able to accomplish. During the regular schedule of six games, four touchdowns were posted against Ross Trimble's forces. Argos got one here the day they were heaten 41-6, but Elwyn Morris accomplished the feat, when tie picked tip a fumbla and aallopnd 80 yard. The next week Argos rime cloaer to accomplishing the feat than any other team until Beaches did It. In the game won by Argos, 11-9.

the only setoack suffered by Ottawas all season, a fumble left the Scullers on the 25 yard stripe. Morris faded back and threw a forward pass over the right end to Bobby Coulter for a major score. played with St. Mike's College and the Beach Juniors. Organized a Junior league in Toronto in 1935.

Also When it was all over, when a frcmblitnre of order could be re-atoircl in the hub-bub and excitement which prevailed in the dressing room, Dr.

H. L. Sims, the man who was president of the Ottawa Football Club when the Grey Cup last came here, was introduced to the Capital's latest championship array. It was fitting, too, because It has been a long and hard time between championships for the Ottawa Football Club. It was back In 1826 that the Rough Riders last scaled Canadian gridiron heights.

Dave McCann's warriors that year beat Balmy Beach tn a thrilling semi-final, 7-6. and nosed out the University of Toronto. 10-7, to retain the crown they had won the previous etr. But no one could foretell that Ottawa would not have another championship team until 1940. The football team ran Into difficult times.

The personnel of the team changed. Coaches were changed every year for a spell. The club presidency changed hands. Difficult Stretch. Yet the Rough Riders went for a stretch of years without winning a same.

They were the doormat of the lcacue and there was talk the club would be forced to Withdraw from the His Four. Other tfams did not relish pluying before the small crowds that Ottawa's wlnlesa football team was drawing both at home and on the road. But these things run in cycles. The club failed to win a championship but they enjoyed a measure cf success hile Wally Masters coached the club In 1933 and 1934. Then came Bill Hughes in 1935 and 1936.

with the Riders winning the Big Four In Hughes' second and last year as pilot of the club. The Riders lost the championship in a meeting with Sarnia Imperials that fall. It was a cold December day when the Ottawa team hooked up with the now-defunct Imperials and lost a heart-breaking decision. 26-20. There were more thrills that day in Varsity Stadium than most football fans generally enjoy in two or three games.

With that game went Dominion honors because the team from the Tunnel-Town was awarded the Grey Cup when Regina Roughriders, Western Canada winners that season, defaulted and did not come East. He Ilrought Success. At a banquet the following spring Hughes announced his retirement. So the football club brought in Ross Trimble as coach. Trimble had enjoyed success In leading Toronto Argonaut juniors to two successive Dominion titles.

The Riders have been on the upgrade since the quiet, conservative Toronto man made his appearance as head man of Ottawa's gridiron forces. The Riders have been In the playoffs the four years since Trim hie came here. In 1937 and 1938, Re' club lost out in the Big Four nals to Argonauts. Last year the Riders whipped the Scullers in the Ir.terprovincial Union finals, trimmed Sarnia Imperials in the Eastern final and loet an 8-7 decision to Winnipeg in the struggle for Dominion laurels. Today, the Riders are on top of the heap and it must be gratifying to all those people who toiled v.un the teams rang down the curtain on the 1940 season.

Scoring Record? The Riders have established aorr. sort of a scoring record during Ross Trimble's reign as coach of tha team. While the club scored only 52 point during 1937, Trimble's debut in Ottawa, it has gone over the century mark during the last three seasons and thia ts believed to be a record for Big Four football teams. Even while finishing second in the Riders collected 151 points, got 143 the next and 116 year. This ls all in league competition, not counting playoff games, and is a mark that w.n.
