The victory moved Calgary scored a touchdown for Calgary and Larry Robinson kicked two field goals and a convert. Jim Furlong booted a single in the dying seconds, lifting the ball out of the park from the Edmonton 14-yard-line, and the Stampeders got a fourth-quarter safety touch. ayers WOES IN ROWS LOOK OUT GANG, it appears it's going to be that kind of season.

Staggered by several earlier losses, the Roughriders are relatively reeling now thev've lost defensive captain Bob Ptacek. The all-star corner linebacker became the sixth player to join the 30-day injured list since the season started just 18 days ago. The only difference is the veteran will stay on the inactive list for the remainder of the year. "There is no doubt Bob is finished for the year," said coach Eagle Keys Wednesday. Eagle didn't say it.

but when an athlete snaps the Achille's tendon, there is doubt he will ever play again. When the Achilles, the large tendon or cord at the back of the ankle, is completely severed, it can cause irreparable damage for an athlete. It can be far worse than any other leg injury as the tendon is almost like stretched elastic. Broken, it can snap up the leg and often needs a delicate and exploratory operation to pull back down the leg and rejoin. Mack Burton, the B.C.

Lion end, suffered a similar injury. He is back playing but his speed and effectiveness, they say, has been drastically reduced. "We'll miss Bob a lot," said Keys in an obvious understatement. "You don't replace his tackling, pass coverage and defensive leadership easily." It was in his role as defensive captain that Keys dwelled on in length. "Bob had been given the duty of calling defensive signals this season and was doing an outstanding job.

He had sperrt many hours studying opposition films, what plays they were running, what formations they were using. It was seldom we sent defensive alignments in from the bench, he was doing such a fine job." The injury to Ptacek had been so sudden and freakish, that Keys had little time to think who would replace him calling the defensive plays. Ron Atchison, the veteran middle guard, has shared captain's duties with Ptacek and may assume the additional role. RIDER RECRUITS PTACEK JOINS the growing limp list. Bob Good and Jim Copeland could return at the end of the month after three more games while Ed Buchanan, Nat Dye and Alan Ford will all be lost until late in the schedule.

Ford and Ptacek will both undergo operations today. Ford tore ligaments in his knee in Edmonton after injuring the knee in training camp. Rocky Cameron could have been ticketed in Ford's spot but has not recovered from a pinched nerve in his shoulder. Cameron will miss Friday's game and It Is questionable how long he will be out. The pinched nerve has left him without feeling in the arm and it's uncertain how long the condition will continue.

Henry Dorsch, who was used mainly on offence last season, receives a major opportunity tomorrow night. He will replace Ptacek at defensive corner. Keys could also shuffle his front wall and linebackers, if he chose. Sherman Lewis, who Keys said has adapted himself quickly, will start at offensive half. Jim Paglio from Baltimore Colts will be at defensive tackle which means Roy Peck will sit out as the extra import The latest Canadian additions, Ian Hagemoen and Hal Ledyard, will both be dressed.

The only question now is: When will the string of injuries cease? Or are we heading for a season to Winnipeg of 1964 and could it bring the same disastrous results? The Riders, however, have a habit of coming through when things look: the bleakest. And they'll need the supreme effort with B.C. Lions here tomorrow, not only big, but ugly after Monday's loss. Facing adversity, the fans also have a habit of rallying around the flag. They wish to play their part and help, too.

As one asked at Wednesday's quarterback luncheon: Would it help if we jam the park and yell like hell? "Fine idea," said Keys. onto Argonauts 20-0 before close to 20,000 shirtsleeved fans ARDSTIl KS Montreal 20 Pit st downs 167 Yards rushing 12?

Within hours, the Saskatchewan Roughrider coach had help on its way from the National Football League, Bill Butler, a veteran of seven years In the NFL, will arrive in Regina tonight or Friday morning. Butler has played both offensive and defensive halfback since coming from Wisconsin in the Big Ten.

Riders obtained Butler from Minnesota Vikings and their general manager, Jim Finks, former Calgary Stampeder CM. Butler played the past three seasons with the Vikings after four years with Pittsburgh Steelers. He has played mainly defence in his pro career but obviously his versatility attracted the Riders. While Butler will not play Friday, he would become the 15th active import if added to the roster. STOCK CAR RACING at Sherwood Raceway 4 miles north on Albert 1 mile west Thursday Time Trials 6 p.m.

The Manitoba Saskatchewan Junior Football League opener will start at 7.30 in Taylor Field. Radcliffe is a stocky-but-fast, well-muscled halfback who played with Riverview Royals when they won the Moose Jaw High School Football League title in 1963 and finished runner-up last season.

After a one-year layoff, Andrews has again drawn gear and methodically gone about drawing the rave notices he seems to attract at whatever he endeavours to do. "The biggest find in camp so far," was the tribute paid Andrews by backfield coach Alf, Relkey, who first saw him during a baseball game with Moose Jaw Regals this season. "He's got size, lots of energy and hits the line real hard. His football legs are starting to come around again you can tell it. 'Our timing is almost there by Saturday, our back-fielders should be hitting the line like shots." BECKER IN SLOT The other members of the Rams' starting backfield will be quarterback Grant Becker and fullback Ken Walters.

Becker, a Balfour graduate, has had experience working under Currie and his assistants, and also boasts some experience with the Rams. Walters sat out last year after enjoying possibly the most highly publicized high school career of any athlete in Regina. "He's one of the best high school fullbacks of his era," said Currie, while meeting the press. It was a glistening acco lade from the normally conser- vative Currie. EXPERIENCE MISSED Commenting on a i 1 ng camp, the new head coach seemed pleased to report that there were only five self-cuts in a camp of 58 players.

The Rams will dress 30 on Saturday. "If we lacked anything it was experience; but certainly not desire," said Currie, summarizing the progress in training camp. "We encountered no apathy on the part of the players while making cuts. "Even we (the coaching staff) have quite a bit to learn. I'm quite optimistic though and the players are very positive in their thinking." An executive member summed up his feelings of Currie as he prepares to embark in junior football wars.

"He's a myth to the young man who ha never played under him." champion flight; Hugh Pearson of Brom head, second flight; Eugene Irwin of Goodwater, third flight; E.
