(see Page 12) PLARAWwke Ure Nhe FT wt THE SPORTS BEAT CTU AC) Sent my faithful beagles in all directions yesterday, hop- ing they would uncover some column material. They failed. Undaunted, I proceeded to place 19 phone'calls to various contacts around the country. The end result of the four hours of conversation provided very little except for a tele- phone Dill of approximately $104. However, the boss, being what we call a poor sport, bab- bled: "If you're going to spend that much money, then you'd better write something." I at- tempted to explain there was this problem about lack of in- formation, but he rebuffed the excuse with: "Don't; tell me you have a problem. If you don't write a column you'll have a real problem --. no job." After glancing at my bank -- balance, I decided to follow his hint. Somehow I just can't stand the prospect of watching ' 16 hungry beagles drool every 'time there is a Gravy Train commercial on television. Six more phone calls (local), same result. A last resort would be to phone the Canadian Football League office. However, I thought to myself, this is ridic- ulous. That is about the last place where anyone can pro- cure information, especially if they are attempting to garner data regarding football in gen- eral and the CFL in particular. Introducing myself over the phone as Jim Trimble, I asked the soft voice at the other end of the line if the commission- er's post had been filled? For the next 47 seconds there were no recognizable sounds outside of gasping, choking and gurgling. Finally, an answer. "No sir, the vacancy has not been filled as yet." Another sudden out- break of gurgling. Then we played 20 ques- tions for three minutes. Here is what was learned. The new commissioner is animal, al- Vote for O'Quinn though there is a rumor being circulated that various CFL general managers would prefer him to be vegetable. The selec- tion committee has narrowed the aspirants down to two names, although they are only known as X and Y. The new commissioner will not. be named during Grey Cup Week. Most observers feel this is the logical time.for such an announcement, but remember, we're dealing with the CFL. My informant said the release would likely be made the week after the Cup game. The, new CFL boss. will .offi- cially begin his duties at the "first of the year. Oh yes, the reason given why there is little chance. of an announcement during Grey Cup Week is that there isn't- any room left on the Grey Cup program for such a revelation. And an- nouncing it after the game would "keep the CFL in the papers." Although the two candidates were referred to as Mr. X and Y, a bona fide name was men- tioned in passing. And what better name to be mentioned in passing than Red O'Quinn, general manager of the Ottawa Rough Riders and one of Can- ada's premier pass receivers during his playing days with Montreal Alouettes. The Sports Beat, alias Jim Trimble, strongly recommends Red O'Quinn for the position. He is familiar with Canadian football, respected by both management and players, and most important, he has a progressive outlook. The latter may be his greatest drawback in. the jaundiced eyes of the 'other GM's, but he most cer- tainly will be able to air his case, something which Senator Keith Davey was not allowed. Davey's dismissal, perhaps, did more to prove to the CFL it needs leadership in many areas, and Red O'Quinn is the most likely to succeed as com- missioner by trying. ee nen monn It is much safer to limit your speed, than to speed your limit.
