spons TYPE By Steve JONESCU Sports Editor WA Nc YEAR surprised me to lzrn that so many people were AGAIN surprised yesterday when Toronto Argonauts gave the axe to head coach Lou Agase Maybe the move by theCanadian Football League club came too late in making the not so outstand ing announcement manager Lew Hayman said some thing like this know the coach cant run and tackle but itshis job to see that the players do Lew didnt say it but its also the coachs job to keep the players happy on and off the field Its his chore to try and convince them enough fun can be had with the football club on the field company time and during We got sneaking suspicion that Agase was part way out when the Sculiers got rid of Cookie Gil christ belieletoo that he was art way out even lustyear when the hardrock bac ielderwas used more as lineman thana fullback So unless you were surprised at the dismissal of liamp Pool three years ago and Bill Swiaki before him have no sleeplessnlghts Firingcoaches is Argo trademark as synonymous as the Argo Bounce Dont bet that the Scullers picture is rosy with Agase out of the way Dont forget that quarterback Tobin Rate is back in the picture with an historic sore finger That was supposed to be the clubs trou ble last year This year with sore finger Tobin is merely second goat to Agase In closing watch for the seasons end announce ment Knobby erkowski who will probably fillin as head man for the rest of the season may get the axe Its in the cards if the Argus could ever hold reunion of all their fired coaches and player flunkies such as Ronnie lttnsox
