left defensive end for Argos No offensive tackle in the NFL pushes the 225pounder hard rock out of the way Watch for N0 79 in blue when Ottawa has the ball Jim never even played organized football until age 16 It took hard work to get to his present stardom and wellpaid contract for native Canadian He is just as tough on the field as at bargaining table Started in North Bay as student at Scollard Hall where he played three years as fullback Coaches at Scollard Hall Fathers Dundari and Mackon directed Jim to Hamilton rookie camp since North Bay was TigerCat pigskin territory Coach Ralph Sazio suggested that he return to school in order to improve his grades and qualify for football scholarship at US college By this time his parents Mr and Mrs Patrick Corrigall had mov ed to Barrie and Jim enrolled at North Barrie is Argonaut territory so he took full athletic scholarship from Kent State University in Ohio During summers in Barrie he worked as bricklayers helper in order to supplement financing His term at North saw that senior team roll over all opposition to the Georgian Bay title And Jim was good enough to get the necessary grades for university and qualify for his present teaching position at Toronto school In the winter of 1970 Argo fans became aware that the scullers had CFL rights to Canadian inside linebacker who was No pick of the St Louis Cardinals in the National Football League draft Coach Leo Cahill yes he was coach back even in those prehistoric days wanted Corrigall as defensive tackle So Argo owner John Bassett went into the market for the big and fast Barrie North former fullback against bidding by St Louis Corrigall turned down five year contract with the Cardinals for twoyear deal with Bassett personally The Argo deal offered more security and considerations includingjob at CFTO In his first season at Toronto Jim was CFL East rookie of the year and in 1971 his second was allstar In June 1972 Corrigall conducted his negotiations with the club then represented by managing director John Barrow The split between Corrigall and Barrow became deep and personal Jims uncle the late Harry Savage Toronto advertising ex ecutive expressed his feelings about Argos new contract of fer Savage had encouraged his nephew to play in Toronto two years earlier Harry Savage stated have absolutely no financial in terest in this boys contract His record in the CFL shows that contract offer with decrease in salary is absurd dont intend to stand by and see him exploited Eventually Bassett and Barrow signed Corrigall to fiveyear contract which ended in 1976 and the Argos present manager Dick if Shatto got him signed up again until 1981 By which he may have played on at least one Grey Cup winner Why not this year During Norths title collegiate year 1964 the coach was Gordon Gow The previous North coach was Bill Lemmon who retired from that position to become league official Bill affirms that Jim Corrigall is and always was gentleman on and off the field never guilty of dirty play remember one playoff game when was the umpire Bill said call ed penalty against North pointing to Jim for interference then turned and walked away Heard heavy steps behind and thought now youre in for it No way Corrigall just ask ed what did do wrong Mr Lemmon told him and Jim just grinned and said thanks wont do it again Terry Martin of

Montreal Canadiens undefeated for their first eight National Hockey League games this season have fallen on what pass for hard times in this city that expects firstplace finishes and Stanley Cup championships as part of the Forum ticket price The Canadiens 53 losers to Minnesota North Stars here Mon day night now have won only one game in their last six and have lost three of their last five For the fans of team that lost recordlow eight games in 80 last season it is cause for grave concern Weve picked up 17 points in 13 games coach Scotty Bow man said Tuesday in defence of his club Thirteen games is almost onesixth of the season and if we played at this rate all year wed end up with 102 points Lookif was asked on projected base of eight home games and five away what would be the optimum number of points Id figure on would have said 20 So actually were only three points behind that Bowman said he considers the Canadiens lost those three points to Toronto Maple Leafs and Los Angeles Kings The Leafs tied us 22 with late goal after we were up and the Kings beat us in the Forum after we were up 31 We should never lose game after getting twogoal lead Although he cant be said to be reaching for the panic button Bowman said Ken Dryden will see more action in the Montreal goal meaning Michel Bunny Larocque will see less Kennys the type who likes workin fact needs work and welcomes challenge Bowman said He seems to thrive on backtoback games and we havent been using him that way Ive told Bunny and the team that from now on were going to be using Kenny lot more Dryden has given up 16 goals in seven games this year for 229 goalsagainst average while Larocque who played in the The Disposers fast attack built up an early lead with Orillia desperately trying to slow

four each Ken Burns scored on two foul shots Montreal Canadiens suffer from extended losing streak players Frank Taylor spots these things just like Joseph Simpson does Terry is from Minesing and played all his loss to Minntsota has surrendered 14 goals in six games for 233 average Bowman said he originally intended to give Larocque more duty than has been the case in past seasons after the goalie came to him during the offseason He came and asked me how much planned on using him and told him that it depended on how well he played Bow man said The thing is now it looks as if the twogoalie system doesnt work Some teams can get away with it but others cant Look at the Leafs and Buffalm Sabres Theyre going primarily with one goalie and theyve been pretty successful The Canadiens are averaging only 237 goals against per game but Bowman said five of the 31 goals scored against Mon treal could have been avoided Bo Ellis leads Nuggets to win By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Bo Ellis who
