It also boomed out Win- mpeg's second straight cup tri- umph over the Bengals and the fifth for the West the last six years.

JZ The Bombers had been throt- tied in their own end of the soggy field for nearly 50 min utes by Ticats whose unimagina- five offence sputtered and died -when they were within striking range of the Bomber goal line. In that period it was an uoin- spiring game for the record Buddy Tinsley veteran played tremendous game tor Winnipeg in Grey Cup final. Winnipeg cats behind only 3-1. But the big play, and the one that will be talked about, was the fumble bv fullback Gerry McDou gall early in the final session that Bombers turned into their winning touchdown and an 11-7 lead. The 23-year-old Shepard, formerly with North Texas State and Pittsburgh Steelers, scored from three yards out after the fumble.

He booted four singles two of them on quick kicks was top ground gainer for the Bombers wnth 54 yards on 16 c. ries others jumping up and down and hollering, as he entered the arena tarrying the Grey Cup. Grant, speaking briefly after he and every memDer ot tne team were introduced the cheering crowd, said the Bombers' knowledge that the reception was planned played a significant part in Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Canadian football final Saturday at Toronto. We didnt want to come home losers to this welcome, he said. "The fact that this reception was planned was one of the biggest stimulants for the players to go out there and win the Grey Cup.

Grant called the Bombers the greatest football team that ever played in Canada. He paid tribute to the whole team organization, from the players and executive down to the clubs ball boy and equipment men, who got a lot of blisters on their hands from changing thousands of cleats this year. "And we have the best fans in Canada, he said. Believe me when I say that you are just as much a part of our team as any of the players you see here. Thanks a million and well try to do the same thing next year.

Most of the crowd came early to watch a Manitoba Junior Hockey a ue doubleheader which preceded the welcome.

The introduct'ont started with 18-vear-old Henry Janzen. a Win-ntpeg-boy who won the Western Interprovincial Football Unions rookie of the year award this season. The happy fans cheered for about a minute after quarterback Kenny Ploen was introduced.

They drowned out MacPhersons voice as he tried to tell them that Ploen wished to say a few words. When a hush finally came, Ploen said he was speaking for the American imports on the club and all of us certainly feel proud to be members of the 1959 Grey Cup champions. We will feel real proud when we return to our homes in the United States and tell our friends that we played in the friendliest, warmest, nicest town Winnipeg, Manitoba. A similar welcome was given to Bud Tinsley, the 10-year veteran tackle whose key recovery of a Hamilton fumble Saturday was a turning point in the Bom- bers come-back victory. W.ctever happens to me in the rest of my life, Tinsley said, It will seem anti-climax after this.

Really it was about a normal game to handle, said Dojack, He was asked about the big pileup behind the Winnipeg goal line in the second quarter when the Cats Vince Scott broke through and blocked Charlie Shepards kick. Jack Delveaux of the Bombers was seen to dive for the ball in the scramble. For a few seconds the big crowd wondered whether the Ticats had counted a touchdown or a single. It was a single.

Scott didn't have the ball at all, said Dojack. It went right past him. TORONTO (CP) Paui Do-jack of Regina, who refereed the Grey Cup game thoi went to Winnipeg Blue Bombers 21-7 over Hamilton Tiger-Cats, said it was a cleanly played, hard fought game. Both teams are to be commended, said Dojack in the officials room immediately after the game, wiping his face and looking at the splotches of mud on his uniform.

The Bombers started to after Steve Oneschuk had kuted his second field goal at 14:46 of the third quarter, a' 27 yarder that put Tiger-Cats in front 7-3. That, as it turned out, was the dying gasp of the Tiger-Cats, the team that steam rollered over Big Four opposition during the season and that had whipped an rv 4nn 1 in the 1937 Cup final. The big crowd sensed that a break was necessary to blow the game wide open and it wasnt long coming. Shepard kicked his first single, a 36-yarder. at 2:48 of the final quarter and just more than two minutes later Bombers got their first touchdown.

McDougalls fumble was picl.ed up on the Hamilton 43 by tackle Buddy Tinsley, at 35 the old man" of the Winnipeg club and a tremendous performer, throughout the afternoon. The dispirited Tigr-Cats didn't know what hit them. While bombers lined up and McDougall was being verbally soanked by coach Jim Trimble in front of the Tiger-Cat bench, quarterback Kenny Ploen whipped a perfect strike to end Farrell Funston at the five and he was downed on the three. Shepard smacked over from there on the play that broke up the tight-fitting game. There was an ironic twist to the touchdown.

Ralph Goldston, the best deep pass defender in Eastern Canada pro football, had just returned to the Hamilton bench from the dressing room where he had an injured ankle frozen and Trimble had inserted sophomore Len Chandler in his spot. The 23-year-old Canadian, who had been used mainly on kick-off runbacks during the season, was practically deked out of his uniform by Funston, a late cut this season by Cleveland Browns of the National Football League. Funston had been touted as the man to watch in pre-game gossip and his catch justified his press clippings. Nothing could stop the inspired Bombers. In the final seconds they took over on the Hamilton 33-yard line when a third down pass from punter Cam Fraser to Chandler failed to gain the necessary yardage and Ploen passed to end Ernie Pitts in the Tiger-Cat end zone for the final iuui.ii down.

Gerry James, a left footed kicker, made good on the con verts. He also kickea a 21-yard field goal immediately after the games opening kickoff when Bombers moved downfield from their 28-yard line. Hamiltons near-touchdown occurred early in the second ses-sioi with the Bombers scrimmaging from their own 18 after Eddie Bevan, an old running mate of Scotts, gathered in a fumble by WinniDeg rcokie Henry Janzen after a Fraser punt. Scott charged in to block the kick with his chest, knocked the ball into the end. zone and collapsed after it with three Tiger-Cats on his heels.

He appeared to fall on the ball and it bounded away from him. Ticats had to settle for a single when Bomber Jack Delveaux roared in past Hamilton players to pounce on it. President Jake Gaudaur of Tiger-Cats disagreed with the official call. As long as you have momentary possession of the bail behind the goal line, it's a touchdown, he said. Scott did not have the ball, referee Paul Dojack of Regina said in a post game interview.

It went past him. Scott said only it got away from me.

The players hugged and kissed each other as they made their way to their lockers to doff wet and muddy uniforms. Some of the first-year men were wide-eyed, apparently finding it hard to believe they had won. Each was holding a bottle of champagne which manager Jim Aus ley had handed out as they came into the room.

Then a cheer went up as captain Buddy Tinsley appeared with the Grey Cup, which was presented to him by football commissioner G. Sydney Halter a ceremony on the field. By A I. VICKERY TORONTO (CP) You cant pull the reins on a team if they Want to go out and get it; and we did. Thats how coach Bud Grant summed up Winnipeg Blue Bombers 21-7 victory over Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Grey Cup game at the Canadian National Exhibition Stadium Saturday afternoon.

"There is too much pride on that team, he 'said, talking while he shoved out both hands to receive congratulations from well-wishers who crowded into the Bomber dressing room after the game. They knew they were the defending champions and they played like champions. Grant could hardly make himself heard as the players jammed into the dressing room followed a man knows what he wants By WILF GRUSON TORONTO (CP) Fullback Charlie Shepard of Winnipeg Blue Bombers, a 210-pound, six-foot-two-inch Texan, was voted the outstanding player in Saturdays Grey Cup game. He came up with one of the greatest kicking performances in the history of the East-West football final. The 26-year-old' import from North Texas State College and Pittsburgh Steelers scored 10 points.

He crashed over for the winning touchdown from three yards out and kicked four singles in the fourth quarter in Bombers 21-7 Victory over Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He did a tremendous punting job, with four quick-kicks particularly rocking the Ticats back on their heels. His booming spirals in all but the third quarter kept driving the Eastern champions back into their own end of the field and his quick kicks each time caught them by surprise. These sent Hamilton men racing back in desperation to try to retrieve the bouncing ball. Shepard, the key man in the Bombers block-busting backfield also was the leading Winnipeg ground-gainer, barrelling for 54 yards on 16 carries to round out a brilliant individual effort.

He was chosen top player by sports writers and broadcasters and beat out Winnipeg quarterback Kenny Ploen and veteran middle guard Vince Scott of the Tiger-Cats for the award on the 3-2-1 point voting basis. The Winnipeg backfielder will be presented with a sports car by a British automobile company here today. Shepard, in his third year in Canadian fo tb a 1 1, kicked 17 times for an average of 44 yards, four more than Cam Frasers average for Hamilton on 16 punts. The Winnipeg punter got off some short kicks when he was rushed, had bad snaps to contend with or punted against the wind. But he pulled his average up with the aid of the quick kicks and some soaring third down punts.

The first of his singles came on a 37-yard kick and cut Hamiltons lead to 7 4 early in the fourth quarter. He then scored his touchdown to put Winnipeg ahead 11-7 and three of his next four kicks counted for singles. The first was a quick kick that travelled 76 yards in the air and On the ground and went for a point. The second was another surprise punt for 58 yards and tne last two on third-down plays went 60 and 68 yards for two more points. He also boomed two quick kicks in the first quarter, one for 55 yards and the second for 68.

His first kick of the game was his worst, the ball only going 28 yards after it was nearly blocked. He was rushed on that kick and in the second quarter one of his punts was blocked by Vince Scott when the Hamilton team put another great rush on him. The ball bounded into the Winnipeg end zone and went for a Hamilton sipgle after it squirted loose from Scott and Bomber linebacker Jack Delveaux fell on it. Shepard, a housing contractor in the off season, joined the Bombers in mid-season in 1957 and Grant had a good word for quarterback Kenny Ploen, who set up the game-winning touchdown with a 40-yard heave to end Ferrell Funston. Kenny wanted to win badly against that Ha mi it on club, Grant said.

He has a lot of pride. He lost to the Tiger-Cats when he was quarterback in the 1957 cup final, and has since lost two exhibition games to them. It was a sweet victory for Kenny. Grant had special praise for 10-year-tackle Tinsley. Tinsley was the big man, Grant said.

He played the greatest game of his career. He was top man out there. But they were all great. Grant felt Tinsleys recovery of a fourth-quarter fumble by Hamilton fullback Gerry McDougall was the turning point of the game. Tinsley grabbed the loose ball after it was jarred from Mc-Dougalls hands on a solid tackle by defensive tackle Roger Savoie.

Bombers moved downfield for a touchdown which gave them a lead they never lost.

Coach Jim Trimble didnt say specifically, but he left the distinct impression Saturday he wasn't satisfied with his offence and made a point of stressing: Were an older club.
