The latUr hae turned in aome highly effective blocking in the neta, and while he'll be having hla nlghta of trouble the aama a any other ciutodlan, hla three shutouts' in fire starts look very good.

At the tame time, it It nice to report the progreaa of youthful Geoff Craln, last Turk" Broda aa coach in hla tint year In aenlor company. When "Turk first was named to take the Ottawa poet there were probably aome who wondered If It wat Just a case of a big name athlete moving In. As popular at Broda Is with the sports crowd, particularly around Toronto, not a few sug-gested he might Itaie to change his attitude. Popular people dont always make the best coaches, and there's tome thought "Turk" might be just too good an all-round guy to handle the task. However, Broda has made a -great Impression here from the time he took over.

He'd made It plain he meant business from the start. He's as demanding as any good, coach should be, and there is nobody working harder at his Job than former Lest goalie. He's set an. excellent example from the standpoint pf devotion to duty. He's around the rink constantly, working with his players.

The Job with "Turk" hun by any means been confined to practices or games. Broda Is going to run Into the rough spots In similar fashion to any other team leaders, but at the rate he's attending to his duties, nobody can accuse him of 'not working at hit job. And his methods have been showing good results so far; promise better for the future. HAS HIS TEAM IN SHAPE. Injuries are perhaps a coach's greatest worry, can prove both- vexing and discouraging.

Senators have had more than a few of them and still are anything but free of them, but the "Turk" hat been getting excellent mileage eutof hit charges. The Senator leader obviously hat been, concentrating on whipping hit charges Into the best possible physical condition. He hat a few 'of these Ottawa players In better shape at this stage of the season than hat been noted la other year! The results in Improved play of some of them are quite easily spotted." He's proved quite strict about this angle, has turned on the pressure both in the way of workouts at well as a system of fines if co-operation' lent forthcoming. It's a long hockey season, but Broda's work has been noted with considerable satisfaction to far by close hockey observer. I 1 1 year with Media University.

Craln won plaudits from Winnipeg fans for tha lively running game he produced la his brief appearances this year.

Trafton worked his club mainly from tha flknker formation this season but switched with telling effect. in the second game ot the WTO finals against. Edmonton, a quick twitch to the single wing and a direct anap to halfback Tom Casey set up a touchdown pass.

HAMILTON, Nov. 25.t-P Hamilton Tlger-Cata held a 90-mtnute workout last night in preparation for Saturday's Grey Cup final with Winnipeg Blue Bombers and immediately damped a "no-entry" aign on their training grounds. From herein, they'll practice behind locked gates.

Tha team, stilt bruised from their gruelling two-game Big Four final against Montreal Alouettea, will concentrate mainly on pass defence and offensive manoeuvrea with no scrimmages scheduled. Players will not wear pads, only sweatsuits. 1 i Ed Songln, last of five quar terbacks used this season by Coach Carl Voylea in an effort to- build a cup contending team, warned team-mates that the Bomber tackle team of Bud Ttnsley and Dick Huffman are still rated with the best tackles anywhere."

HAMILTON HOPES RIDE ON HIS PITCHING ARM Former Boston College quarterback Ed Songln la the man Hamilton fans will be pinning their hopes on Saturday when the Tlger-Cata make their first appearance In the Winnipeg to Almost on thepltlf ul side are aome of the stories going the rounds on Ottawa quarterback Tommy O'Malley. When the Hamilton game waa finished, the only thing, O'Malley seemed to be worried about waa whether he'd be asked back to play again lnpttawa. Then came a report he, had asked for hit release.

He dldnt ask Jimmy McCaffrey, the Ottawa club president, nor apparently Clem Crowe. And tha eurioua part of it all is that unless anybody cite on the Rough Rider executive It going to make the selections, Crowe will be the man who decides on the marvto play quarterback. At a matter of club policy at well as reports of CMalley'a-. attitude, some of these stories are hardly encouraging. Here we have the picture of quarterback charged withthe direction of a team on the field described for the tans' benefit as having asked whether the club or the executive still has confidence la him.

If O'Malley himself hasn't enough confidence his own ability, one can hardly expect football follower! to feeKhe to la the right frame ot mind WINNIPEG. Nov. 25. CP The Winnipeg Rugby Football Club ran out of Orey cup tickets last night as one of the biggest Western Invasions In Canadian football history be gan mustering to move East for the Saturday final in Toronto. Winnipeg Blue Bombers flew East yesterday to complete training tor tha clash with the Hamilton Tlger-Cata, and Karl Slocomb, club president, estimated that at least 2,500 fans would follow them.

The football club hung up the Vsold right out" sign as fans jammed wickets In search of the tickets and air and rail transportation. 'Shot Off Prematurely.

Even managing director of tha' Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, said Winnipeg's plans still are de veloping. requires more than a little confidence.

If it waa a personal request for some information by the Ottawa quarterback. It would teem that he lint being put in a very good light right now by having it aired publicly. Under any circumstances he would appear to be placed very much In the middle. IN THIS BOOSTING MORALE? Ia the. end it will be Crowe to decide who handles the position, and anybody knowing Crowe wlU find it difficult to tea him being enthused over a quarterback's attitude being given this going-over.

Easier to understand would be his wonderment over any executive members being quisled on a want-ot-eonfldence note. Tha most curious part of it all It that a certain taction of the executive Insists one day that Crowe should do something about boosting club morale by Indulging in more back-slapping during tha course of a game. And then one ot the key figures oa tha team la publicly revealed as worrying whether the club, or fane, or the water boy hat any confidence la him. Just how that la Intended to make O'Malley appear the reso-. lute, confident type required to handle a position of such Importance la puzzling quite a tew ot the club followers.
