Sfeeves, Bobcats are ready to go by BRUCE PENTON Sun "1 think we're ready," said Brandon University football coach Doug Sleeves Friday night. After postponing the Bobcats' first two exhibition games of the season, the 'Cats swing into actiorj Monday night at Kinsman Stadium, with Minol State Junior Varsity Beavers providing the opposition. Game time is 7 p.m. "We're getting in pretty good shape," said the head coach, "but you never know what's going 'to happen to the boys until you're under game conditions. And, so far, we've had team.

scrimmages, but that's the closest we've come lo a game of. any sort." Tile Beavers are undefeated so far this year, with two wins j-- under their belt. 1 But, Sleeves is optimistic of a victory. "We're going to have a pretty good offence," said Steeves. "Andy Murray will start at quarterback, but 1.

think Bender (Rick) will spell i him off throughout the game i The one good thing about I those two (Murray and Ben der) is that they can catch the ball, too. So, one! can play quarterback and the other at split end. However, without George. i George is George who graduated last spring and who stood, Both 1971 quarterbacks are under six foot and Steeves wishes the QBs had that extra height. One of the most spectacular DENNIS SHINDLE LARRY RODENBUSH of the new Bobcats is Joe.

Parks, a West Virginian who had a tryout with Miami Dolphins of the National Football League earlier this year. Parks is big, quick (does the 100 in 9.6 seconds) and strong. "Joe is starting to learn the plays," said Steeves. "He's got the potential to break away for a couple of long ones." Steeves also mentioned that because of Parks' ability, he may be called upon often to carry the ball. "If he's nol too tired, he may carry the.

ball 17-20 times," said Steeves. This year's co-captains are Dennis Shindle, a native of Yorkton, and local Larry Rodenbush. Both are linemen, and Shindle will be calling the defensive signals. Going back to the opposition, Steeves said that the Bobcats lost 14-8 to the same team last year, "bul we led 8-0 at half-time." "The key to Monday's game," said Steeves, "will 'be the veterans. Guys like Dobbyn (Guy) and Rodenbush if they can play good, two-way ball, we should be okay.

I'm also expecting Parks to ways." Parks wouldn't have it any other way, according to Bobcat director of public relations, Norm Joss. "He said he wouldn't play unless he could go both ways," said Joss at a learn practice last week. After Monday night, the Bobcats have four days to prepare for their next game, Oct. 2, in Bismarck, N.D. tt, 1971, THE SRAMDOH SUM, Rams, '49ers will be out to patch up injured pride by BRUCE LOWITT Associated Speri Writer National Football League came through its first relatively scathed--except for a lot of injured pride--and a number of (earns, particularly San Francisco and Los Angeles, will be out lo salve their wounds with big victories.

Lindsey lo take many chances. "Really, though, there isn'l loo much difference in style between the two." Should disaster befall Lindsey, Calgary would go with Bill Van But'kleo, defensive backfielder and punter who his head after the release of linebacker Cliff Powell. Powell, in the estimation of the. Winnipeg coaching staff, was one of the best B.C. de- fence players last weekend when the clubs battled to a 31-31 lie in Winnipeg.

The result left Winnipeg with a two-point edge over B.C., nine to seven, but the Lions have played two fewer games.

In Winnipeg, Spavital was worried not only about winning, but tlie point spread.

Although several Bombers were unable to work out due to injuries, all but lineman Chuck Liebrock made the trip to Vancouver. Liebrock a badly bruised leg.

Winnipeg released wide receiver Rick Shaw Friday ifter he came off the injury "list. Spavital was concerned about the Bombers' regular offence saying the surprise plays and long bombs that have worked for (lie club thus far. won't always be so successful. "We have lo think more about firs! and ins, bail control." The Bomber coach said he expects to see Wilson at Lions' right corner tonight replacing Wayne Holm, a player that quarterback Dun Jonas exploited-in Winnipeg. Eskimos' main problem continues to be a quarterback.

Saskatchewan is looking for its fifth consecutive win despite an injury to Silas McKinnie. The speedy halfback is an uncertain starter after hurting his knee last Saturday and coach Dave Skrien says if he does play he will get little work.
