STILL ONE GREY CUP GAME Canada's Major Football Clubs Decide It's Time To Cut Cloth By JACK SULLIVAN anadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP)--Canada's pro- fessional football teams, who have more than quadrupled their annual expenditures the last six years in a wild spending spree for imported talent, today embarked on a long- range program aimed at present- ing annual financial statements in aey Sn effects may be felt is y The cutback, adopted at the Canadian Rugby Union annual meeting here Saturday, was ef- fected by manoeuvring that al- lowed Big Four and Western Con- ference teams to increase their im- port list from eight to 10 this year but riders attached to the motion took away the benefits. They also made it possible for more Cana- dians to hit the big time. Only eight of the 10 imports permitted each team will dress for any one game and Americans pre- viously classed as non-imports af- laying four consecutive years in Canada will revert to their former status. Now, each team is allowed only three Canadian-Amer- icans regardless of their length of service and they must be regis- tered with the CRU before the third game of the league schedules with other imports. The previous deadline for declar- ing imports was Oct. 1 elegates said the moves were a step in the right direction and these sentiments were echoed by other football officials. Walter Sprague, past president of the WIFU, said at Edmonton Sunday night the new ruling would "put a premium on Canadian-American yers." ROUGHRIDERS HAPPY Dr. Beattie Martin, president of Saskatchewan Roughriders, said at Regina he was "pretty happy" about the moves. The changes were made when club executives in the east and west became increasingly aware that they were pricing themselves out of business. Since the free- spending era started after Cal- gary's Grey Cup victory in 1948, annual budgets have increased from less than $60,000 to more than $300,000. Ralph Misener of Winnipeg summed up delegates feelings when he told the meeting that "in a few years we would have 30 players considered Canadian- Americans on many teams and we would be able to field full teams of imports." Other officials said the early declaration date for Americans would mean a savin 20 per cent on budgets in Saving of salaries 'and other expenses. ast and west téams rang up Reavy expenditures by carrying up |. to 14 or 15 imports from the July 15 training start to the Oct. 1 deadline. Delegates were in accord on the new import rulings but trouble hrewed when another motion, finally adopted, said that players born in Canada, but resident or trained in the United States, are classified imports for 1954 unless they were registered with the CRU before Oct. 1, 1953. The fuss may blow up into a bitter battle he- tween British Columbia Lions and other WIFU teams. SAY DISCRIMINATION Coach Annis Stukus and presi- dent Don McKenzie of the Lions declared this was aimed directly at their club and Canadian-born Arnie Weinmeister, signed by the CRU would change the constitu. tion on us," they said. McKenzie asked the meeting to reconsider the motion and Stukus asked for "mercy" but his plea was ruled out of order when Ken Montgom- ery of Eskimes said Stukus was not entitled to speak because he was not an official WIFU delegate. Stukus said in an interview later that the CRU "ganged up' on the Lions. Weinmeister was born at Rhein, Sask., and left Canada when sly two years old. Stukus and enzie said they would prove the former New York Giants line- man is a "bona-fide Canadian citi- zen" and that they would ask for a special ruling on the case. In other business, the CRU ap- proved a pre-season charity game for 1955 with proceeds to go to the Crippled Children's Society and the Shriners. The participating clubs may be the 1954 Grey Cup finalists or the second-place "clubs in the Big Four and NO TWO-GAME FINAL The meeting turned down a pro- posal for a two-game Grey Cup final because it felt it would "kill" the spectacle. It established a maximum roster of 45 for all CRU affiliated teams and accepted an invitation from the WIFU to play the semi-final Nov. 20 between the Ontario Rugby Football Union and |WIFU champions on the home {grounds of the WIFU team. The meeting also decided to dress up the Nov. 27 cup final with half-time entertainment, set an ar- bitrary player-limit of 26 on CRU play-off jomes such 'as the cup semi-final and final and adopted rule changes, the major one deal- ing with the safety touch. A team now surrendering a safety, intentional or otherwise, must kick on first down from its 25-yard line if the safety is scored with less than five minutes re- maining in the second and fourth quarters.

(AP)--Phil Cav- arretta and Chicago Cubs have parted company after 20 years, and another former Chicago base- ball idol, Stan Hack, steps in as manager. Cavarretta, a star player for 17 years but unable to win as mana- er in two full seasons, was re- ieved of his post here Monday after the Cubs had dropped their 15th spring exhibition game in 20 starts. It was the first managerial change in the major leagues this year. Wid Matthews, director, of play- ing per of t go or- Eon told Le as he was to change places with Hack, who has been manager of the Los An- eles club in the Pacific Coast ague. Cavarretta balked and said he would seek a major- league connection elsewhere. Matthews in sisted that Phil wasn't fired, but Cavarretta had a different view. "I come home and get fired," he said sadly. Cavar- retta lives in Dallas and operates a children's amusement park here. DEFEATIST ATTITUDE Matthews gave no reason for the action other than that it was 'for the: good of all concerned." But at Phoenix, Ariz., Phil K. Wrigley, owner of the Cubs, said 'This year when he picked everyone but us to finish in the first division, he was licked before he started. He said he did not have the kind of ball players he wanted. He had sort of given up on the boys, so to speak, feeling that they were not pennant material. Well, maybe not, but they could be with the will to win." Hack, who is firing in to take over as manager Wednesday, said at Los Angeles that he was sur- prised. "All I can say is that I'm going to pick up where Phil left off. I will add this: It is wonder- ful to get back to Chicago where I spent my entire major-league career.' Matthews said Cavarretta was offered the same salary at Los Angeles that he was receiving from the Cubs, and that he will be pad his full 1954 salary although e refused to go to the coast. Cavarretta said he is in pretty good shape and that he wants to stay in baseball, figuring he ean play 50 or 75 games. "I'd like to make a connection as a player- coach," he added.
