J4 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thurdey, Amgust 24, 1961 = SPORT OUTDOORS -- By Jack Sords This Is News! Lands Big Fish And Says Luck' ST. JOHN'S, Nfid. (CP) -- Mrs. John Nolan, a pretty 22- year-old bride of a few weeks who boated a tuna nearly four times her size on her first try says she's lucky--not an excep- tional angler. Mrs. Nolan, who weighs 120 pounds, Saturday boated a fight- ing 500-pound bluefin on Con- ception Bay in 90 minutes. She likes to boast that the big fish was one pound heavier than the one caught recently by her| husband, a St. John's radio and television broadcaster.

"I was afraid all through it that I would lose him," she said in an interview Monday. Her previous fishing experience had been limited to casting for lake trout. It was the first time she at- tempted deep sea fishing and she was successful on her first strike. Her husband and the boat guide instructed her throughout the battle.

Man, they love it. There's nothing more electri- fying, they keep telling Joe Fan, than a back running for his life in the end zone while the horde closes in on him. And if the fig-for-danger ball carrier manages to get out, the spec- tators, and the coaches, get a great thrill out of it. But why have they--with the notable exception of Bud Grant of Winnipeg Blue Bombers-- ignored it all these years? They've lobbied for playing rules changes to bring the Cana- dian game closer to the Ameri- can brand, and at the same {time have solemnly advised to catch a bluefin on Conception Bay and the bay's first success: ful female angler of the season. An American woman landed a lu's first attempt at staging pro- fessional football exhibitions proved a flop and cost the pro-| moter around $50,000.

Any Canadian fan who watches American games on television could tell them that. Yet, with all this talk they passed up the punting, except on third - down situations, and spectators long ago figured the foot had gone out of style. Grant made it the payoff play in the 1958 Grey Cup final against Hamilton Tiger-Cats and in this young season there's just a whiff of a hint that the other coaches are learning something from the 34-year-old Bomber coach, Theyre Starting To Put Foot Back In Football Fans recall that 1959 Cup final in Toronto when fullback Char- lie Shepard kicked four singles two of them on quick kicks-- as Bombers won 21-7 on a fourth - quarter 18-point surge. All four singles were booted in that period and the sight of confused and bewildered Tiger- Cat players dashing madly to- wards their goal-line after the watch for Winnipeg supporters. This year, Bombers beat Tor- onto Argonauts 14-13 as the in- terlocking schedule was intro- duced to Toronto fans. The quick kick did it--a second- down 5-yarder by Shepard that caught Argonauts completely by surprise. Argonauts weren't at all prepared for it and Grant may have been thinking of that 1959 Grey Cup final when he called the play. Argonauts must have learned something from this. They pulled the quick-kick manoeuvre last Sunday against Hamilton Tiger-Cats and, although they didn't gain a point on it, they had Tiger-Cats reeling. To make the day complete for fans who aren't accustomed Cam Fraser engaged in a re turned-kick duel. This ome re- sulted in a Toronto touchdown. Then, on Monday night at Vancouver, a crowd of 26,863 bounced up and down in excite- ment during a fourth-quarter battle between punters and ceivers. Four times in 10 minutes halves ran of the end zones, the on a returned kick. The game ended in a 7-7 between British Columbia to cut short a Lions league game, The pass-happy coaches must have discovered that their ath- to such manoeuvres, Toronto's bouncing ball was a delight to Dave Mann and Hamilton's letes have feet.
