British Sceptre Meets Sleek Columbia Yacht Ramblin Johnny Bright Leads Rushing Derby iv 1 REGINA (CP) Power run ner Johnny Bright is threatening to break the rushing record he set in the Western Interprov- -fir- 1" Inctal Football Union last year. The big Edmonton fullback kowski has thrown five (ouch-down passes to lead in that department. Calgary's Chuck Holloway haa caught the most passes, 25, for the most yards, 418. Edmonton's Jo-Bob Smith follows with 309 yards on 23 passes while B.C.'t Paul Cameron has caught 21 for 341 yards.

Jack Hill of "Riders shows the vay in average complete passes ac 23.8 yards while teammate he -had rolled for 529 yards in 9 carries and ended with a 16-gome total yardage of 1,679, a record. Bright has a wide margin over Leo Lewis of Winnipeg Blue Bombers who in his six games has 495 yards in 71 times toting the ball. Third fullback Cookie Gilchrist who In Saskatchewan Roughriders' five games has 442 yards in 67 attempts. The statistics were released WMSI now is leading the Conference with a net gain of 670 yards In 98 carries after his first six games. At this stage last year, It Vim's crew took the news of Columbia's selection with a smile.

"Speaking for the crew and myself," said owner John N. Matthews of Oyster Bay, N.Y., "we fell It was a logical choice. We're very happy with it. We think Columbia will make the best possible defender." Matthews noted that Columbia had never really been badly beaten In a match race. Leo (Buddy) Bombard, a Vim crew member, summed up the Vim reaction thusly: "If -It's a question of design, which it apparently is, then It was all in the stars.

It was settled NEWPORT, K.I. (AP) Corny Sheilds apparently la on again as skipper ol Columbia, the U.S. yacht picked to defend the America's Cup against Britain's Bcaptre. Sheilds a 63-year-old cardiac ease, Is credited with pulling the Columbia crew together for Uie final trials. He was missing from the boat In the 12-second victory over Vim Thursday that convinced the selection committee It was time to name Columbia.

But today the head of the Columbia syndicate made It clear that Corny will sail the yacht In the cup defence. "I have not merely sounded out Corny," said Henry Sears, who is also navigator of Columbia. "I simply told him we couldn't do without him," Corny's absence Thursday is said to have followed medical advice not to continue racing. But It's going to be Corny at the wheel in the best-of-seven match opening Sept. 20, Scars insisted.

Furthermore, Sears said, "nobody will tell us whom to put on this boat." This was in reply to stories suggesting Vim's superb crew be allowed to sail Columbia In the 17th defence of the cup. ''There will be no outsiders," Sears said. "We have a lop crew, a wonderful crew. They will sail for the cup. They have given up practically every day to sailing since, I think, last May 4." Ken Carpenter is next at 20.3.

Chris Gendermann Banned For Life Normie Kwong, Bright's fullback mate, forged ahead to take oer fourth place in rushing after falling to make the top 10 a week ago.

Meyer and Tueber were also penalized for their parts in the altercation.

Technicians operating the special equipment can rerun the plays on two monitor screens In the Ram press box as often as the coaches wish, so they can tell Gillman how to set his defences. At halftime intermission, the first two quarters of play, automatically edited to eliminate kickoffs, punts and punt returns and field gcal and point after touchdown attempts, will be rerun for the resting Ram squad. This will be the first time ctased-oircuit tape scouting has been employed in football. It is a costly procedure; 22 technicians are needed to maintain the eraging 43.3 yards on 47 punts and Calgary's Ted Duncan 42.9 on 41.

The reason for Pasqua's suspension was not revealed. Revival Of College Loop Looking More Like Reality President Sam Donaghy presided over the meeting.

This Is beginning to look like a purge by the Bolsheviks. The Edmonton and District Soccer Football Association suspended a total of five players, one for life, at a general council meeting held in the Recreation Commission hall last night. Chris Gendermann of the First DFC club was suspended for life for kicking referee Paul Reich. Arnold Newmann was suspended until Jan. 1, 1960 while Fred Meyer, Robert Tueber and Fidenzio Pasqua were suspended until they appear In council to for their actions on the soccer pitch.
