\ 'y <¢ THURSDAY, NOVEMEER 8, 1951 THE DAItY TIMES-GAZETTE FAGE ELEVEN BRILLIANT NEW STAR... T-C"s Bash Argos By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto (CP) -- Hamilton Tiger- Cats are probably counting u.cr blessings today. Out of the bleak mud and slush, ice undercoating and water puddies of Varsity sta- dium, they have "discovered" star who should help them mater- ially along the glory road to the Grey Cup. i The name: Cam Fraser, 21-year- old fuzzy - chinned freshman who "made his big - league debut in yesterday's frolic and fired his team - mates to a 24 - 7"walloping over Toronto Argonauts in the first Big Four football union semi-final, The 17 - point cushion should be enough to sent the Cats against Ottawa in the finals next week. Ironically enough, the well - beat- en Argonauts can claim some share in the find. If they had heeded Hamilton's pleas to use the Cana- dian Rugby Union's new $12,000 tarpaulin in an effort to make Var- sity a reasonable facsimile of a football field, Fraser might still be waiting around for his chance. The youngster, out of Hamilton's junior ranks, was sent in by Coach Carl Voyles in the second half after Tom Worthington finished a poor second in the first - half kicking duel with Argonauts' cool Joe (King) Krol. Worthington couldn't make the soggy ball behave on his punts and Voyles, who "didn't have the nerve' to dress Fraser in league games, gave him the go- ahead. GREAT KICKING The lean, long - legged kid in his bright new uniform stunned the 12,000 brave customers in the stands with as brilliant a perfor- mance as they've seen all season. He out - kicked the great Krol, sent the Argo backs scurrying for his towering 45 - and 55 - yard spirals and the Cats took over from there. Behind 7-6 going into the last two quarters, the big Bengals who spent most of the first half trying to get out of their own zone due to Wor- thington's ineffective Kickigg, found themselves roaming in Argo terri- tory. And they made it pay off. The line tightened against the | desperate Argonauts, proven mud- | ders as demonstrated by their 13-0 Grey Cup victory over Winnipeg Junior Ti-Cats Seeking Fourth. Football Title Hamilton (CP) -- Just like their senior brothers, Hamilton's junior Tiger - Cats are. gunning for a Canadian football title. They're out after their fourth consecutive Canadian junior championship. The smooth - functioning Ticats rolled through an unbeaten, untied, eight - game schedule to take the junior Big Four title and then whipped Windsor 18-5 for Ontario honors in a sudden - death final. They meet Montreal Notre Dame de Grace here Friday night in a sudden - death 'Eastern Canada championship game and the right to travel west for the Canadian final. Edmonton Maple Leafs and Saskatoon Hilltops clash in the sudden - death western final in Ed- monton Saturday night. Under Coach Fred Veale, the Hamilton squad has rolled up one of the most amazing records 4 Canadian football. As the Wild- cats ip, 1948 and 1949 and as the | date. | Yet, despite their record this season, the Cats are not rated as highly as the teams of the last two seasons. The backfield appears stronger and faster, but the line is considerably weaker. As in previous seasons, Veale uses. a two - platoon system. He sends out a complete team, which plays both offensive and defen- sive, every 7% minutes. The two squads are picked at the start of the season and, with few excep- tions, operate as.a unit all year. By time the playoffs roll around, Veale has two smooth - working machines.

The front wall also bored holes in the Argo line for fast - charging back, and that was the ball game. . The Tigers powered for three touchdowns -- two of them convert- ed -- and a single, and at the final whistle the 1950 champions were still grouping around deep in their own area. Hal Waggoner carried the explo- sive, point - scoring power in his 170 - pound frame with two spec- tacular touchdowns. Early in the first quarter he burst through the middle in the clear and out - raced fleet Argo backs for a 72 - yard major. In the third he snaked around a flock of would-be Argo tacklers on a 22 - yard gallop around the left end for his other touchdown, Tiger - Cats, on the prowl and ever alter, converted Argo mis- takes and a freak play, a direct result of the field conditions, to their advantage. POUNCED ON FUMBLE Eddie Bevan pounced on & Doug Smylie fumble behind the Toronto line for a fourth - quarter touch- down and minutes later an Argo third - down snapback from a'pud- dle of water floated in the small- sized river before reaching Krbl, giving Hamilton possession on the Toronto 12. From there quarter Bernie Custis ghosted around the end for the fourth and fipal touch- down, = Toronto's lone touch in the second quarter probably hurried Fraser on the scene to handle the kicking. chore. Worthington fumbled a first - down snap behind the Ham- ilton line and Art Scullion picked it up about five yards out and walked across. Krol accounted for two Argo sin- gles and Tip Logan, classy con- vert and placement kicker, contri- buted three converts and a single to the Hamilton cause. Argonauts will be sadly weaken- ed for the final Saturday. Back Ted Toogood is out with a shoulder separation and lineman. Lorne Par- kin and Fred Blgek suffered leg in- juries. Bruce Cummings Cops Jeff Russel Memorial Trophy Ottawa (CP) -- Ottawa Rough Riders, awaiting a shot at either Hamilton Tiger - Cats or Toronto Argonauts in the Big Four foot- ball final, have carried off the year's eastern individual gridiron honors. Handsome Bruce Commings, 25- year - old kicker playing his second year with the riders, has been awarded the Jeff Russel Memorial Trophy and Bruno Bitkowski, for- mer Windsor high school player, has been named the league's out- standing rookie. - Thie selection -- from the votes of 11 Big Four referees and five league governdrs -- was announced last night by Wes Brown, Big Four secretary-treasurer.

JOHN SACHY TAILOR Dial 5-5277 Yogi Berra Earns American League M-V-P New York (AP) -- Yogl Berra, squat New York Yankee catcher, today was voted most valuable player in the American League for 1951 in an astonishing finish to a wide - open race. Tabulation of votes from the 24- man committee of the Baseball Writers' Associatioon of America showed Berra, Ned Garver of St. Louis and Allie Reynolds of the Yanks each with six first - place ballots. The result was sure to start tongues wagging around the cir- cuit, for Berra slumped badly in September and finished with a .294 average. The 26 - year - old Berra led the Yanks in runs batted in with 88 and hit 27 home runs. Berra won on points with a total of 184 on the basis of 14 for a first- place vote, nine for second and so on down to one for 10th. Garver, baby - faced 20 - game winner for Attendance Dips In Major Loops New York (AP) -- Major lea- gue baseball attendance dipped about seven per cent to 16,213,626 in unofficial figures for the 1951 season, e Ten of the 16 clubs showed a decline, the most startling being Boston Braves' 48-per-cent drop to 487,481 and Detroit Tigers' 42-per- cent decrease to 1,132,647. Reflecting the improvement un- der Manager Paul Richards, Chi- cagé White Sox improved their 1950 attendance by a dazzling 70 per cent with a draw of 1,328,000. The Philadelphia A's also showed a marked gain on their sorry '50 figures, moving up 51 per cent with a paid total of 465,469. Both the disappointing Philadel- phia Phillies and Chicago Cubs dropped off 23 per cent to fall be- low the one million mark. The world champion New York Yankees led both leagues with 1,- 951,464, about six per cent below their 1950 attendance. Cleveland was next with 1,704,984. Brooklyn topped the National with 1,329,431, followed by New York Giants with 1,133,867. Each indicates a 12-per-cent increase. Attendance at the three - game tie playoff is included in the Dodg- er and Giant total. Whether it was Bill Veeck, free orchids or grandstand managing, St. Louis Browns picked up & few customers, moving from 247,131 to 293,770, low for the majors.

He calls it a "subsidy" to the minors. The Phillies' Bob Carpen- ter, putting the annual cost of run- ning a chain at $500,000, estimates that it costs $347,000 to develop one major league player. . .Both figures add up to one thing: Too much , . . obviously a city like Sana Brbara, Calif. (pop. 44,764) can't afford the school, either ,, . The same goes for $23,000 at Val- dosta, Ga.... So while they're "sub- sidizing the minors" the Dodgers seeem to be subsidizing indepen- dent opposition right out of busi- ness in those leagues...A minor leaguer, kicking the subject around recently suggested: "Why not make it a real subsidy for the Class C and D leagues? Have the major leagues establish a fund to cover losses but lef the independ- ent owners operate the clubs on a reasonable financial scale...in the same way, let the clubs use local talent as far as possible, but have the majors set up a pool of young players on which they could draw A out their squads."

Reynolds' second no hitter clinch- ed at least a tie for the Yankees in the last week of the season. Teammates Ed Lopat and Vic Raschi topped him in wins but his = 8 record included seven shut- outs, Orestes (Minnie) Minoso, Chica- go White Sox rookie, was fourth in the voting with 120 points.
