Red Storey hos lusdoyinsun By El HARPER thay The Montreal Alouettes and the Edmonton Eskimos will be niwting each other once again in the Grey Cup game which will be played in Montreal on Sunday As always it will be big day in Canadian sport tine cant help but wonder as the time approaches who the hero of thc game will be for it seems that the Grey Cup game always produces hero Going back in the history of the inj Tup games the name of Roy Alvin Storey tbetter known to Barrie fans as Rtd stands out as one of the tircy iips fincst heroes ltwt or Buster as some people called him was pro duct of the Barrie schools where he lived and was raised He lctt school at 17 and went to Leaside suburb of Toronto where he worked in railway yard The next year he met led Morris who was then halfback for the Toronto Argonauts Ill was later coach and he brought Storey out toan Argo practice That was in the summerol 1936 ST YEI WIIII ARIIHS The first year was an inauspicious one for the big man from Barrie In if he stayed with the Argos and they went on to become tirey tup champions but Red being halfback substitute had very little to do with the victory But he had his day on December 12 1938 trey Cup Satur day For thru qiiartcrs of the game Storey sat in the ac customed obscurity of the bench with blanket wrapped around him while the bettcrknown Argo players such as Bill Stukas and Art West fought close contest with the Win nipeg Blue Bombers Finally in the opening moments of the fourth quarter big lied Storey got his chance Winnipeg was ahead by score of 74 But Storey literally tore the game apart He played as he had never played before and was great inspiration to his team who seemed to be lifted to the heights of greatness and played one of the finest quarters of football ever played in Yanada Led by the brilliant playing of Storey Toronto gained more yards In the final quarter than Winnipeg had managed during the whole game tounting an intercepted pass that he ran back Storey himself gained 1th yards He scored three of the Argonauts loiir touchdowns and he set up the other with fine run back The game that had been so close when Storey came iii was won by the Argos 207 DEVELUIES IIEItttES What makes an athlete like Storey have great day No one really knows what brings all the factors together at once An athlete may go through his whole career without ever being the great hero that Storey was that day for the Argos But for some unknown reason the Grey up seems to develop heroes Each year some player even though he may already be star comes up ith greater effort than he has ever show it licloic lied Storey great day had little extra dimension He was member of an allrtanadian team one of the last of such teams in game that is becoming more and more American and he was playing against Winnipeg Blue Bomber team that was stacked with imports The athletic prowess that Red showed that Saturday in limit was skill that had made Canadian football more distinctively exciting than the American version of todays game And even though the trey up has gone on in the years since to become one of the most publicized and hallyhmed shows in aiiadian sport the chapter that Storey put into the anadian history of football when he won the irey ttip practically by himself has to be one of the most dramatic of all And he was from otir fair city of
