'Tiny' Hermann Finally Quits Football Scene OTTAWA (CP)--Tiny Her- mann is without a football job this fall for the first time in half a century. The place-kicker and convert specialist from Halifax, a for- mer RCMP fingerprint expert who displayed the most highly touted toe in Canadian football history, has laid aside his cleats for the last time. His was the foot that so often in the 1930s salvaged victory from looming defeat for Ottawa Rough Rid- ers. Now 57, Charles Bismarck Hermann is a successful insu- fance agent here. He relinquished his final foot- ball post, as coach of Ashbury College in suburban Rockcliffe Park Village, at the end of last seas: on. "He is a figure that will be remembered," the students wrote in tribute in their school Magazine on his retirement. "He could, and often did, work miracles with weak or in- different material. .. .

"A successful sports personal- ity has a responsibility, an obli- gation, to pass on the knowl- edge accumulated over the years," he said while relaxing beside a newly-installed swim- ming pool in the back garden of his West End home. "That's why records are al- ways being broken. Someone has learned from another what he had found out by hard ex- perience. "Tf I had the physical capac- ity today that I had at 18 plus what I now know at 57, no doubt my own achievements would have been more notable."

Powerful Tiny Her- mann toe, ; A mighty digit thou' To thee, our grateful thanks we owe." Even the game officials sang his praises. Said Hec Crichton: "Hermann, with all his size, is one of the cleanest players in the game." COSTLY MISCUR Not all Tiny's kicks found their mark, of course. One that missed was a much-publicized boot that might have sent Win- nipeg Blue Bombers down to defeat in the 1939 Grey Cup fi- nal, in which Winnipeg defeated Ottawa 8-7. With Ottawa, he was in three Grey Cup classics, in 1936, 1939 'and 1940. In 1963 they lost to Sarnia, when there was no east-west final. They beat Toronto Balmy Beach in another all-eastern Grey Cup in 1940, . After the war, Tiny took up coaching here, at Carleton Col- lege, St. Patrick's College, Ne- last 10 years at Ashbury Col- lege. From this standpoint, he makes this appraisal of modern football: "It's better played and better coached, and the athletes are much better trained than we ever were." He now runs his own insu- rance business with the base- ment of his home serving as an office, Also in the Hermann household are his wife, Loretta, daughters Carolanne, 19, and|1 Phyllis, 17, and dog Skippy. An early riser, he eats two soft-boiled eggs and coffee for breakfast as part of a rigorous diet; does not drink or smoke. For exercise, he takes dips fn his pool, gets out regularly on the golf course and in winter Sweeps up district titles on the curling rink. Top curler in the City of Ottawa Bonspiel this year, one of his pet projects now is to make the capital the scene of the Canadian curling championships in 1967. WEMFEMBER WHEN . . .? By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dr. J. Lee Richmond, who pitched the first perfect ma- jor league baseball game on record, died 34 years ago to- day at Providence, R.I. On June 12, 1880, Richniond, TORONTO (CP) -- Bass and r-uskie fishing, usually closed after Oct. 15, will continue to the end of November in many parts of Ontario this year but the experts don't think anglers will get much benefit from the extension. The 1963 fishery regulations extended the reason to Nov. 30 in all parts of the province where the previous October ¢.ose applied except the muskie- rich Kawartha area in eastern Ontario and Algonquin Park, good bass country, in the North. Angling for. any type of fish is illegal in the Kawarthas and Algonquin Park between Oct. 16 land April 30 inclusive because the areas are fished so intensely during the summer, Government biologists don't see any great danger to the bass and muskie population resulting from the extension. The fish usually become sluggish in late fall because of cold water and are tough to catch. Some areas already have a bass and muskellunge season closing later than Nov. 30. The bass season closes in the St. Clair river region Dec. 31 and Thunder Bay, Kenora - Rainy River boundary waters Dec. 15. The muskie season wins up in the St. Clair River, Lake Erie and Niagara River regions Dec. 5. The bass season opened in most Ontario waters June 29. Opening of the muskle season varied, but generally it was June 29. REASONS FOR CHANGE The Ontario department of lands and forests said there were several reasons behind the change,. including: An abun- dance of bass and muskies in the areas affected by the exten- sion, a desire by the department to give anglers a chance to com- bine hunting and fishing trips and the likelihood that not many bass and muskies will be taken ir. the late fall. J, Charles Weir, warm water fish biologist with the lands and forests department, said in an interview Friday: "Our duty is to provide more fishing, where possible, for the hurling for Worcester, then holding a National League franchise, set Cleveland down with no runs, no hits and not a man reaching first base.

This is one way of doing it without the danger of seriously depleting the bass and muskie population.

PERSONAL PROWESS Tiny's personal introduction to Canadian football was at the age of 27 in 1933 after being transferred to the RCMP's fin- gerprint laboratories in Ottawa. It, took two or three years to master what amounted to a brand new game for him but by 1936 he was an all-Canadian inside wing with Ottawa Rough Riders of the Big Four.
