Joe Ryan, general manager at Edmonton, started it all in an Eskimo bulletin when he told F |the Canadian Football League. it is all wet to limit to 15 the num- ber of U.S. players on each team. Veteran Vancouver sports- writer Jim Kearney took it up Friday, writing that he agreed, even though Ryan might be sus- pet in his motives. Friday night, two more gen- eral managers entered the fray. They like the rule. Ryan wrote in the. bulletin that "some clubs haven't come up with a good Canadian in five years. Winnipeg is one and we are fast approaching it." By tossing out the limit on imports, clubs would have the vast recruiting territory south of the border to pick all their play- ers.

Even if there were, pes- simists said, people wouldn't pay $3, $2.50 and $2 for seats. They were wrong. One attraction is that Victoria, like Vancouver, is blacked out for B.C. Lions home games. An- other is that, with a Swiss in- vention, the big-screen picture is much sharper and clearer than home TV. Spectators say they get 'a bet- ter view of the games than they would in Empire Stadium seats and they don't need to worry about the weather. } Jim Kearney, sports column- \ist for The Vancouver Sun, says: "I'd rather be there than at the game. . . .

He became the first rider in Ontario this year to score that many wins in an afternoon, al- though Ron Turcotte matched the feat at Fort Erie earlier this combined. We feel we can modestly claim we are not one of those "meat hunters'? -- although like every good deer hunter, we hope to claim our own "kill". In the territory we hunt (Quebec) since no dogs are allowed -- one of those foul claims by the side-benchers is automatically eliminated. When you get your deer by "'still hunting" -- you have to either be very fortunate or fairly skilfull, and at that 50-50 rating, we'll "never argue -- except with somebody who has been deer hunting before -- or who never has been yet. Deer hunters, just like fishermen, are prone to brag a little, stretch the distance, size and difficulties, but the members belong to a lodge all of their own and unless you've ever been a member you may have the privilege -- but certainly not the right, to dispute any story one of the members may tell. tee Seats THE HUNTING SEASON, not just deer and moose, but ducks, partridge, pheasants, etc., always brings forth a re- gretable combination of wierd tales and tragedies. Such things as a hunter mistaking another hunter for a partridge, with fatal results, is pure criminal. Nobody, but nobody, who pulls a trigger before he is positive of his target, should ever go "into the fields or into the bush. Last year, some "nut" mis- took three men in a canoe, for a moose, and killed one of the three men. Another shot a man out of a tree -- thought he was a deer (king-sized squirrel, no doubt) and still another, shot a hunting partner because he mistook him for a partridge. Such incidents are so fantastic that they are almost unbeliev- able -- but they actually happened, Soldiers, in the army, on march, over rugged terrian and in strange territory, never "shot and killed each other nearly as often in a four or five- year war, as so-called "hunters" do every-season. The reason is obvious -- a lot of so-called hunters don't even know what the "safety. catch" on their gun is for -- let alone, know which way to point the weapon, when or how. Accidents occur -- precords show that many hunters have fatal accidents due to their own tripping or stumbling over rough ground, rocks, stumps, etc. Other fatalities occur because of breaking the BERRA IE FON EA O16 24 9 2S 24S ei BE Re oe BE | | | | Geoffrion's 30 goals as a rookie|Johnny Colan intervened. in 1951-52 get similar treatment.| The referee gave Fernandez In both cases oldtimers had bet-|the mandatory eightdcount as ter marks, Malone counted|the Cuban shook his head in pro- seven goals in one game in 1920|test. and Nels Stewart broke in with) 34 [nly Mag Montreal Maroons « in tan =" Marlies Blank It would be difficult to make! ar 1€8 an the -- application in the Ri- it chard-Howe case.
