Tom Scott caught a pair of touchdown passes in the final Quarter when the game already was decided and was breaking down rapidly as tempers flared. The Eskimos lost wide receiver John Konihowski with a separated shoulder midway through the final quarter on a play that saw Harry Walters intercept a Bruce Lemmerman pass.

The next play ended on the sidelines near the Winnipeg bench and it was there the teams got into a brief fight. It ended with Holliman and Pete Lavorato of the Eskimos evicted and Winnipeg getting 25 yards through penalties. That put the Bombers on the Edmonton eight-yard line and finally allowed them to score a touchdown. Stats in Scoreboard WINNIPEG (CP) The highflying Winnipeg Blue Bombers were brought down to earth with a resounding thud Wednesday night as they were humiliated 43-13. by Edmonton Eskimos in the only game played in the Western Football Conference.

It was Winnipeg's first loss after four straight pre-season wins and two regular-season victories. The Bombers were badly beaten in practically every facet of the game by the Eskimos who started strong and simply kept getting better until the outcome of the game was no longer in doubt. And when the whipping was finished and the 25,210 fans had left Winnipeg Stadium, the Blue Bomber coaches had no excuses. "It was disappointing," said head coach Bud Riley. "They beat us on both sides of the ball.

They just whipped us." yards in losses and one fumble Edmon- ton's defensive backs were getting the best of Winnipeg's receivers. Joe Holliman personally picked off three passes and knocked down numerous others. His first two interceptions he returned 82 and 27 yards and they led directly to Edmonton's first-quarter touchdown and a second-quarter field goal that produced a 10-0 lead. Wilkinson hit Howard Strickland with a 12-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and Dave Cutler's first of five field goals in the second quarter, put the Eskimos on the scoreboard. Cutler also kicked four converts.

Edmonton's three other touchdowns were scored by rookie Jim Germany on runs of two, 96 and two yards. Winnipeg's only scoring until late in the 29-26 loss the Bombers handed them in Edmonton last week. The Bombers went ahead early in that one and had to hang on for the win. Wednesday there was no hanging on for the Eskimos. They scored 19 points in the second quarter to take a 26-0 lead at halftime, scored the first time they got the ball in the third quarter and then refused to let up their defensive play until late in the fourth quarter.

The Eskimos' defensive line of Bill Stevenson, Ron Estay, Dave Fennel! and David Boone, was outstanding. The four put tremendous pressure on quarterbacks Ralph Brock and Harry Knight, almost totally shut off the Winnipeg running game and contributed greatly to the break down of the Bombers' passing attack.

Pagan is a native of Nipawin, Sask. "I enjoyed giving out the punishment instead of receiving it." Argo injuries were not restricted to the defence. Wide receiver Kelvin Kirk suffered a concussion in the first half and couldn't remember any of the team's plays. Reserve defensive back Wayne Allison, a quarterback in college, was pressed into action in the spot.

The Argos were assessed a record 176 yards in penalties on 19 infractions, while Ottawa was called 18 times for 157 yards. Toronto's scoring came on a 15-yard field goal by Zenon Andrusyshyn and a one-yard touchdown dive by running back Richard Holmes in the first quarter. Gord Knowlton rambled 31 yards after recovering a Larry Cates fumble for another touchdown in the fourth quarter. Andrusyshyn converted both TDs. The lone Ottawa point came on Gerry Organ's 53-yard single off a wide field goal in the third quarter.

"This is the worst I've seen this team play since 1970," said Rider general manager Frank Clair. It was the second loss in as many games for the defending Grey Cup champions who are the only EFC club without a victory. Neither starting quarterback Tom Clements nor his replacement, Con dredge Hollciway, could put together a sustained Ottawa drive. Clements completed four of seven passes for 43 yards and Holloway 13 of 18 for 180. However, the Riders failed to convert several key third-down situations.

Stats in Scoreboard TORONTO (CP) Toronto Argonauts motto of "Pull Together" was never more appropriate than on Wednesday night. The Eastern Football Conference club overcame several key injuries and a record penalty total to down Ottawa Rough Riders 17-1 and register its first victory of the season. Injuries decimated the Toronto defensive line early in the game and by the end of the first half, three-quarters of the starting front four was sitting on the bench with ice packs. Defensive tackle Bruce Smith suffered torn ligaments in his left knee and was scheduled for an operation later Wednesday night. He is expected to be out for the season.

Defensive end Wayne Smith was next to go with a charley horse in his left thigh. He watched the second half on crutches from the sidelines. The other end, Jim Corrigail, re-injured the left ankle which kept him out of the first game of the season, but he was able to return in the second half before he was later injured again. Argo head coach Leo Cahill then started his juggling act, going with a three-man line and four linebackers. Offensive tackle Wally Highsmith moved to defensive tackle for the first time in his career, alongside Canadian sophmorc Doug Maclver and Ecomet Burley.

"I haven't played defence since 1970 when I was on the Montreal Alouettes Grey Cup team," Highsmith said after the game. "I have never played defensive tackle before, but it felt real good.
