lO-VICTORIA DAILY TIMES, DEC. 1, lDGt "1 mm Hal Malone LOOKS AT SPORTS Losers Claim dh Ali-Sftao-s WINNIPEG (CP) Hamilton Hiw Cup losers, are All-Star winners with nine spots on the 1964 Canadian Football League team announced Monday night. The Western Conference filled 14 positions on the 26-member team and the EFC 12. Ticats, ttc champions, out distanced British Columbia Lions for Individual club honors on the team, expanded by ties at two positions. The Lions made up for it by pummelling Hamilton 34-24 in the Grey Cup game Saturday, with a good share of the dam age done by their six All-Star selections.

ft fl Calgary Stamjieders, defeated by B.C. in the WFC final, had four players chosen in voting by the Football Reporters of Can ada, Saskatchewan Roughriders three, Toronto Argonauts two TONY PAJACZKOWSKI writers like him, LIONS TO GET LINKS, CLIP MEMENTOES and Ottawa Rough Riders and Edmonton Eskimos one each. Winnipeg Blue Bombers, last in the WFC with one win in 1964, and Montreal Alouettes failed to crack the All-Star lineup. VOTE WAS CLOSE Evidence of a close vote by 42 FRC members in the nine CFL cities were ties between Ron Brewer of Toronto and Bobby Kuntz of Hamilton at linebacker and Tony Pajacz-kowski of Calgary and Ticat Ellison Kelly at offensive guard. Ballots carried the names of 26 defensive halfbacks, 16 defensive tackles, 15 linebackers anf 13 offensive guards.

A 10-year veteran from Verdun, who was named outstanding Canadian player in 1961, Pajaczkowski was the only man to achieve All Canada ranking who did not earn a 1964 All-Star berth in his own conference. He also is one of seven native Canadians on the team. The others are Brewer, Kuntz, flanker Tommy Grant, centre Chet Miksza and defensive end Gold cuff links and tie clip in the provincial dogwood emblem will be sent by the provincial government to each member of the B.C. Lions football team as recognition of their Grey Cup victory, premier W. A.

C. Bennett said Monday. "Our support has-been unwavering for the Lions. We're not like the prime minister, trying to play both sides," he said laughing, in a reference to Prime Minister Pearson's admission he had bet on both the Lions and Hamilton ROSE BOWL! REACTION Members of Sigma Phi Delta fraternity at University of Southern California campus in Los Angeles display their disapproval of last Saturday's Rose Bowl selection. The Athletic Association of West-era Universities (AAWU) picked Oregon State for the annual football game, but most USC backers thought their team deserved the bowl berth after Southern Cal upset mighty Notre Dame 20-17 Saturday.

Surprise defeat cost Notre Dame national title. (AP Wirephoto.) NOTRE DAME THIRD AFTER UPSET LOSS After 400 years of searching for a formula to make enough money to pay off the butcher and sail to Haiti, one was finally found today. The recipe is so simple it's absurd. Find out who the bookmakers favor in anything football, fights or politics and then bet the bundle the other way. Remember 1919? (Of course, you do.

That was Ihe year the world decided to have no more wars.) Mnn-oMVar was running at Saratoga. They said the colt couldn't be beaten unless somebody slipped a mickey into his oat. The bookmakers quoted him as a 7-to-20 favorite. Horse players bet their shirts and caught it where Nellie wore the beads. Man-o'-War was left at the post.

Something named I'pset hung on long enough to paste Man-o'-War with the only defeat of his career. How nboi.it 1948? The Republicans nominated a mustache attached to Tom Dewey in the U.S. Presidential Stakes. The Democrats had a scrawny, bespectacled contender named Harry Truman. Match race? Giggle, giggle went the oddsmakers.

They called it the greatest mismatch since Goliath keeled fiver to David. Good-Natured Losers Were Audible When America awoke after election day, mustaches were no longer popular in the Truman was sitting in the White House, reading the pre-election polls and laughing until he fell out of bed. Turn now to Miami Reach. Sonny Listnn, billed as a throwback to the days when orangoutangs were in vogue, a great muscular meatball, was the 7-1 favorite to zip the lip of Casslus Clay. All over the globe piggy-banks were turned upside down and the contents emptied.

There never was a sure thing like this. When Sonny, took the' gas the ultimate screams from good-natured losers could be heard in Leopoldville where they still don't play according to Marquis of Queensbury rules. Off now to Hamilton, the city of steel and the "invincible" Hamilton Tiger-Cats. In pool halls, bars and other intellectual swamps, Eastern "books" pegged the Ticats by 7 Va points. The odds never dipped because westerners are liberally conservative (except when they are Social Credit).

Their restraint was puzzling since The Times Casual Choices, which had not been wrong since Armageddon, olfered the Lions by three points. For a while Saturday, Armageddon appeared to be reborn. Rushed on the B.C. Lions' second offensive sequence, Joe Kapp threw hurriedly to Garney Henley. Great play except Henley wears Hamilton underwear.

Ticats Should Have Pulled Stumps On the next Hamilton play, halfback Willie Bcthea found a freeway where the Lions usually station their line. Bethea went for 13 yards. Western hearts palpitated accordingly. Hamilton has been accused of many things, including ungentlemanly conduct, but Ticat backs have won few convictions for offensive loitering. History has recorded that the Lions thereafter closed all the cordons to their goal line, forcing Hamilton to kick.

Artistically, as it turned out, Hamiltcn's best play in the first half was to give Joe Zuger the ball and let him belt the blubber out of it. Hamilton could have pulled stumps and declared when the score was 20-1. Instead they came out for the second half to see-If Lions could make it Something went wrong with the Hamilton strategy. The Ticats scored 16 points in the final quarter when the horse was out of the barn and long down the road. There were some questions Monday for David Skrlen, commander of the best football team in Canada.

Question: How badly was Bob Swift hurt? Answer: "Badly enough that we never considered putting him back in, although he wanted to play. We'll know this week whether he tore or stretched ligaments in his knee. If they are torn it. will mean surgery." Henley on Fleming? No Contest Was there a mixup in Hamilton's secondary when Willie Fleming broke through for the second B.C. touchdown? "No, not unless it was caused by the terrific blocking our line gave Willie.

Even downfield, Willie got two excellent blocks one from Sonny Homer and one from somebody else. He still had Henley to beat but when Fleming is in a one-on-one situation it usually is no contest." Did you have any particular concern after Johnny Counts pumped life into the Hamilton cause with that quick touchdown in the third quarter? "My main concern was right in the opening minutes of the game. Henley's interception gave them the ball, Bethea ripped through us and I was worried that we would see Hamilton control the play. That was the pattern they used in the. past on us.

The Counts' touchdown was purely a brilliant offensive play not a mistake by our defence. Kaloney made the pitchout how he got the ball away I'll never know as he was tackled. "Our backs had been forced to commit themselves and Counts was left with the sideline alley." Snow? No, But Lots of Rain Here How were you put on the trail of Bill Mtinsey? "Well, I went to Minnesota and he went to Minnesota. We took him and his parents to the Rose Rcwl game and brought him up to Vancouver for a look. Of all the players we recruited that year (1903) he was the one I wanted most.

We gave him a good deal (throe-year contract) and now, you could say, he has given us a good deal." With the American and National Football Leagues spending money as if it was going out of style, do you expect to have much success recruiting? A "We're not hungry-or crazy. We would like to find a tight end. If we can't we may put Paul Seule there and recruit to fill his spot. By Bailey will probably pack it up." Looking for a light end, you say. How about Notre Dame's Jack Snow? Pro scouts think he's another Ray (Baltimore Colts) Berry.

Pause. "Snow? No, we hnven't had any in Vancouver. How's the weather in Victoria?" Not exactly avoiding the question, you understand.

Nine of last year's players had retired and land. It is 1,200 miles even to Australia and thousands of miles more to other major competition centres.

Although standards are high in New Zealand, few athletes can afford to gain experience abroad and the flavor of big-time track and field meets.

"Because of family calls on his time, Kummer works on the farm from 5 a.m. until dark daily. The only opportunity he gets to train is for about 30 minutes during his lunch break. And on that scant training he finished only six seconds behind Snell in a national final. "He's a natural, like a lot of other budding champions around the country'whose best is never seen." Lydiard's point about lack of comietition is emphasized by the isolation of New Zea- southern part of the North Island.

He says this young runner, Paul Kummer, is every ounce as good as Peter Snell. who won gold medals for 8C0 and 1,500 metres at Tokyo and recently ran the fastest mile ever a tremendous 3:51.1 effort. But he may never get the chance to show his real brilliance. Kummer came third behind Snell in the last New Zealand 880-yard championship. But, says Lydiard.

this is only a hint of his capabilities. for his Olympic preparation during the New Zealand winter, Snell was obliged to use a track also used by horses training for harness On his return from Tokyo in preparation for world record attempts, he complained that there was still not a grass track anywhere in Auckland in running crder. He was obliged to use roads for much of his training. The lack should be remedied within the next year when a cinder track is laid for a new stadium being developed as a track and field centre. AUCKLAND (CP) There are plenty more Peter Snells in New Zealand, says Arthur Lydiard, famous Auckland track coach who has trained a string of gold medal winners and world record breakers.

Lydiard insists that New Zealand has the best middle and lonc-distnnce runners in the world. All they need are facilities and competition the opportunity to realize their potential.
