And if the former Notre Dame star takes over the controls, there will be many shouts of Joy among the fans. Hank Johnson, the football expert of the Regina Leader-Post, dug into the records of the first five games and pointed out the crying need for Tripucka's return. In two games, Tripucka threw 42 passes, completed 21 for 427 yards and three touchdowns. His percentaga of completions was 50 and his average gain per pass was 10.1 yards.

Luzzi has the best pursuit of any tackle in the league, and surely the best of any tackle up here before or since Dale Mein- ert in Edmonton." Luzzi will be out of action for two weeks. Normie Kwong, the Edmonton fullback, isn't under estimating the Stampeders and thinks they are better than Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

"Linebackers, that's the difference. You just can't run over that Calgary bunch, they're mean and tough. Bombers cant stop our running like Calgary. But then offensively, I'd have to say Winnipeg Is tops." During the week, several of the western scribes have reported dis sension in the British Columbia Lions' camp. Line coach Vic Llnd-skog and tackle Chuck Quilter are alleged to have traded punches in the lobby of a Regina hotel.

Tackle Urban Henry and end Jerry Janes had a skirmish elsewhere in the hotel. In Vancouver, Lindskog dismissed the reported skirmishes as a big farce." He said there were no blows involved in the argument between himself and Quilter, which he termed a verbal exchange In the heat of the moment after a hard' fought game "which we should have won." He said Quilter later apologized to him "and we are the best of friends." Lindskog said the second inci dent, involving Henry and Janes, had nothing to do with playing abilities. It resulted from some horseplay during which a firecracker was exploded while one of the players was trying to sleep, he said. old home town. In part, here is what he wrote: "Some folks lifted the odd eyebrow when Saskatoon decided to give it another go in the Western Hockey League this year.

"The odd eyebrow may be lifted again before the winter is worn, not in sympathy but in admiration of a Job well done by the ambitious Individuals who have refused to admit that hockey has run the gamut after so many glorious years in the Saskatchewan Hub City. "Take it from a recent vacationer to Saskatoon, which happens to be myself, it looks as if pro hockey will make a comeback in the town that sent the best of them up the pike back in the good old days of crop failures and hockey players. "The revival all started when the Saskatoon Board of Trade surveyed the situation and decided that an entry in the Western League was as good a piece, of publicity that any city could get. A board of trade can be an influential lot and the Saskatoon representatives didn't miss a bet. "The Saskatoon hockey committee didn't stop at the season ticket campaign.

In fact before they even thought of tickets they made certain the name of the team was changed to the Quakers and that the old familiar red and white home sweaters were resurrected from moth balls. "They also (and in this case the city now controls the rink) advised manager Norman Couch to renovate the Arena. It was a good one back in the dust and grime of the 30's when everyone chipped In a buck and built it, but in this age of wide screens and Wyatt Earp the people have to be lured out of doors. "So if leather-upholstered seats and extra heat and improved lighting will do it, the Saskatoon Arena has done it." RILEY MULLEN, Alex Kaleta, Ray Hannigan, Pat Young and a few others were said to be in the running for the coaching job with the Junior hockey Edmonton Oil Kings this year But they were all sidelined when Ken McAuley was reappointed Tony Leswick, playing coach for Edmonton's professional Flyers, will become a hotelman in New Westminseter, B.C. during the times he Isn't playing hockey He has sold his fruit and vegetable business In New Westminster and started construction of the new hotel.

Colin Kilburn, not expected to report to Eddie Shore at Springfield, apparently has had a change of heart and is on his1 way Colin told Don Fleming of the Edmonton Journal, "I really think I'll, like it at 'Uncle Eddie' has found me a place to live and my wife and family will be joining me about the end of the month." Fleming feels the move might be a good one for Kilburn because Shore is looking for someone to take over the heavy burden and with the experience he gained both in the front office and managing the team on the ice at Victoria, Colin may fit into the Shore plans nicely.

Following a meeting of the ticket committee Thursday after it was announced that 855 ducats had been definitely sold after hearing reports from ap proximately 25 per cent of the total canvassers. If the present ratio can be main tained throuRh the remaining per centage of canvassers, then the season ticket goal of 2,000 should be easily surpassed. The current ratio would place the number of season tickets at more than 3,000.

The total of 855 is twice the number sold for last yean 17 game schedule. The committee urges other can vassers to report to their captains as soon as possible so that plans can set under way for the ex change of purchasers cards lor seats at the Arena. The ex changing is to begin on Sept. 19 Bill Brown, chairman of the publicity section of the Board of Trade ticket selling campaign, was enthused following the Thurs day meeting and said, "I only hope the remaining 75 polls will match the first 25, or come even close." Brown added. "We must reach our goal of 2,000 tickets and it looks as though we are well on the way.

However, there is still a lot of work to be done and I'm sure the canvassers will accomplish success because they have planned well."

One of his ardent admirers is Wings' general manager Jack Adams, who says if he "plays to his potential, he could be the NHL rookie of the year." The six-foot-one Lunde was no slouch with the Edmonton Western Hockey League entry last year. He was the team's top scorer with 39 goals ana assists.

The year before he was the team's second highest scorer with 20 goals and 42 assists. The season prior to that he posted 38 goals and 39 assists with the junior Edmonton Oil Kings.

Adam, the former Saskatoon Hilltop star, owns a mark of seven for 20 and 154 yards; an average of 7.7 yards; three touchdowns and one interception. Dorow, who came from Phila delphia Eagles of the National Football League, has completed seven out of 23 for 58 yards; an average of 2.5 yards; no touchdowns and four interceptions. Tripucka has played with the Roughriders since 1953 but, de spite his strong ability as a passer, Frank has often been criticized by the fans, mainly be cause he can run. If Tripucka can rebound bril liantly from the shoulder injury and. steer the Roughriders into tne playoffs, he may finally receive the public attention which has long avoided him.

The only bright spot for Saskatchewan in their 27-6 trouncing at Winnipeg appeared to be fullback Cookie Gilchrist. Jack Matheson of the Winni peg Tribune wrote: "Gilchrist blew up a whale of a storm for the Riders and was well worth the price of admission. A vie ious, punishing runner, Cookie smashed a pretty formidable vm nipeg defence for 111 yards and was Terlep's most dangerous weapon. "The Riders made little use of the air arm that was to be their stock in trade. It was obvious that Dorow is no Tripucka and it was also obvious that Terlep wasn't completely sold on Ronnie Adam's showing against Blue Bombers last time out.

Ron played about a quarter of the game and then wasn't left in long enough to warm up to the job, After dishing out the first loss of the season to Calgary stam peders, there are strong hopes around cumonton tnat tne tski mos are back in contending form, When the Esks rallied for a 32 28 victory, coach Sam Lyle ob served: "This is the greatest, most gratifying, most thrilling football victory I've ever been connected with. These Eskimos gave out with more than I've seen a team muster when all odds said it was beaten. This is a brave club. Parker made it a personal thing and they rallied behind him." He later added: "I was always hopeful that they would shake! their slump like this and now that they have, there could be no stopping them." Otis Douglas thought his Stampeders were a little over-confident, admitting: "We couldn't get them up for it."

The two NHL clubs each made counter-claims for $25,000 against the Warriors but these claims were dropped Wednesday.
