Two CFL interception records are also in jeopardy John Wjdareny of Edmonton needs only one interception to By THE CANADIAN PRESS The Western Foothall Conference finishes regular season play Sunday with a game that determines whether Edmon'on Eskimos make the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. To finish third, where Edmonton has been for each of the last three years, they have to at least gain a tie against Saskatchewan Roughriders.

a club they have beaten only once in that period. If Edmonton fails, British Columbia Lions enter the plavoffs and tangle with the Stampeders in Calgary Nov. 8 in a sudden-death semi-final. The Lions and Eskimos are tied with 10 points each, but if Edmonton loses, British Columbia makes the playoffs by virtue of their two wins over Ednion- ton in three games. British wrapped up the playoff spot Thursday, but lost 18-7 to Saskatchewan.

Edmonton has the best defensive record in the league, allowing only 219 points in 14 games. The Roughrider defence is also tough, having allowed opposition teams only 236 points. But while Saskatchewan has piled up 365 points so far this season, Edmonton's offence is the league's weakest, scoring only 183 points. In two previous contests this year between the teams, Saskatchewan squeaked past 21-20 in the first game then reconfirmed the decision 11 days later with a 24-9 win.

He had been replaced bv Bill Redell who twisted his knee last week in a losing effort against Edmonton. Edmonton coach Neill Armstrong says Corey Colhour will be calling the signals with Charlie Fulton in reserve. The game Saturday may have an impact on the future of Winnipeg coach Joe Zaleski. The team has managed only three wins and a tie this year and is destined for the league r. At least two Winnipeg players, defensive end Bill Whisler and quarterback Wally Gabler, say the team's poor showing is not the fault of Zaleski.

Arthur S. Armstrong, executive vice-president, told a news conference Wednesday his company is making a year-long study of a site in Toronto at the request of the citys board of control. The announcement followed a statement Tuesday by Toronto Mayor William Dennison that Riverdale Park was being considered by the company.

The park is on the eastern fringe of downtown Toronto. Mr. Armstrong said no sites have been considered but that Riverdale Park would be perfect topographically. He would not estimate the cost but a geodesic-style cov Big Job Sunday final in Stettler. Luke, who is replacing the injured Bill Spiller, should get a great deal of help from fullback Tim Schofer (No.

Bill Luke (No. 8), second string quarterback for the Red Deer Raiders, will lead the Raiders against the Stettler Wildcats in the CWASAA 12-nian football 12-Man Final Sunday Raiders Missing No. 1 QB schedule are packed with sufficient individual dramas to keep fans in Hamilton and Toronto interested. Ottawa Rough Riders, first-place finishers for the second year in a row, meet the third-place Hamilton T'ger-Cats in Hamilton this afternoon and runner-up Toronto Argonauts tangle with last-place Montreal Alouettes in Toronto Sunday afternoon.

The prime attraction in Toronto Sunday is the battle for the EFC rushing title between Argos halfback Bill Symons and fullback Dennis Duncan of the Alouettes. Symons has 903 yards, 27 more than Duncan. But Argos head coach Leo Cahill may elect to rest Symons since his painful toe injury has resisted treatment. HAS FAMILY IN TOWN Symons, who last year became the first Argonaut player to pass 1.000 yards rushing in a single season and was subsequently selected Canada's out-landing player, has his father and younger brother from Nucla, in town to see him play professionally for the first time, Also flanker Bobby Taylor Is also chasing a personal record He has caught 54 passes this season for 1,050 yards and need seven more yards to exceed his best effort in the CFL. Taylor, when he was with Calgrry Stampeders in 1963, caught 74 passes for 1,057 yards.

An Argonaut win Sunday would raise their record to 10 wins and four losses, tying team record set in 1960. Cahill, who plans to run shuttle service with quarter- suffered a broken leg in training camp last August, has been restored to active duty and will work at offensive tackle behind regulars Mike Wadsworth and Walt Balasiuk. To make room for Knechtel, Ed Hulse was placed on waivers. SEEKS SCORING RECORD Tommy Joe Coffey, Hamiltons all-star place kicker and offensive end, will be the subject of close attention by Ottawa defenders this afternoon. Coffey leads the EFC scoring race with 135 points and is 11 points short of an all-Canadian single season points record.

The record of 145 points was set by Jack Hill of Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1958. Former Tiger-Cat Don Suthe-rin of Ottawa is 20 points back of Coffey. An outstanding defensive halfback, Sutherin has 10 pass interceptions this season and two more would shatter his own single season CFL record set in 1961 when he was with Hamilton. Ottawa head coach Frank Clair, this week named CFL Coach of the Year, is still concerned about his offensive fullback situation. A gaping hole in the' Rough Rider attack was made when Vic Washington, the speedy hero of Ottawa's 1968 Grey Cup triumph over Calgary, was finished for the season with torn knee ligaments, suffered against Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Andy Walton, who played eight games with Montreal in 1968, filled Washington's spot last week against Toronto. But Clair, looking for more speed, will start Bob Morgan at fullback this afternoon against the Tiger-Cals. finished the season with identical 7 and 1 won-locs records. Both squads dropped their season openers to Camrose Trojans, wdio W'ere playing an exhibition schedule with CWASAA teams. But Wildcats beat Trojans 37-0 in their second meeting of the season last Sunday.

Raiders played Trojans only once. Wilson said the Ploying field should be in good conlilion if the warm dry weather continues. Following the game against Innisfail Wednesday, the field was badly chewed up and slippery, but not frozen he said.

Albrecht said John Phelan, who has been strong on beth offence and defence this year, will see action at offensive erd as well as his usual defensive position. John Laskoski will agarn lead Raiders defence from his linebacker position.

Rookie Randy Forhan, Beamish and Phelan will add depth to th? defence and take up some of the slack created by an injury fo linebacker Bill Anderson. Albrecht said Anderson will dress, but it is unlikely he will play because of sprained ankles. Stettler coach Larry Wilson said Friday: I have no idea of how we are going to do, its the type of ball game where you never know. We expect Red Deer to be tough and all we want to do is give them a good game. Wilson said the Wildcats aren't suffering from injuries, but a few key players have teen laid up with the flu.

Middle linebacker Lyle Watts, defensive back Randy Schiffner and kicker George Elliot are all out. However, Wilson said Watts is the only doubtful starter for Sunday's game. Wildcats defence compares favorably to the Raiders, having picked up four shutouts in nine games and allowing the opposing offences only 4.44 points per game. The Wildcats offence, playing in the tougher northern division, scored an average of 25.22 points per game. Both Raiders ruid Wildcats Orillia Upset With Nats ORILLIA, Ont.

(CP) The general manager of Orillia Terriers of the Ontario Hockey Association Senior Series today charged Canadas national team with tampering and poor ethics. Bill McGill said he was upset at the manner in which Buck Houle, executive director of Hockey Canada, lured right winger Grant Moore away from the Orillia team. Moore, leading scorer in the series with four goals and 11 assists, is to join national team for two exhibition games next week against Montreal Voyageurs of the American Hockey League and is scheduled to go overseas with the Canadian squad. It's hal'd for me to understand why the Nationals, If they wanted to use Moore, didn't first contact this executive for permission to do so," said McGill. He said the Nationals also have approached forward Brian Conacher of Orillia.
