4Z THEOSHAWA TIMES, Friday, November 27, 1964 SEASONAL TOPIC 'Talking About Coaches, Les Lear! Dont Forget Canadian Press. Sports Es Press Sports Editor Every year, gossip gets around about certain personnel changes in the coaching ranks of Canadian. Football League teams. And each time the same names crop.up as would-he. suc- cessors. : Frank (Pop) Ivy, who gained some fame as coach of Edmon- ton Eskimos when they «beat Montreal Alouettes three straight years in the Grey Cup final starting in 1954, is usually the No. 1 nominee. He left Eski- mos in 1957, coached St. Louis Cardinals in the National Foot- ball League and now is a scout for New York Giants of the NFL Another is Frank Clair, head coach of Ottawa Rough Riders who. piloted Toronto Argonauts to Grey Cup titles in 1950 and 1952 and the Riders in 1961. Other names have cropped up but no one has ever mentioned one of the toughest, roughest guys in the business--Les Lear. He coached and played for Cal- ary Stampeders in 1948 when 'itd upset the highly favored Ottawa Rough Riders 12-7 and opened the gates for the cup ex- travaganza as we know it to- day. ' HANDY WITH FISTS He was the type of coach who got 110 per cent from every player. His 1948 club, for in- stance, was made up of a few old pros and a bunch of kids. The experts said Stamps didn't belong on the same field with the Eastern champions, -- but they didn't figure on the per- suasive powers of big Les who was willing and able to accom- modate any player at any time in an old-fashioned battle of fists. He was the supreme power in that Stampeder club in the dressing-room 'and on the field and every player knew it. Lear stuck around with Cal- gary in 1952 and then became a horse owner and trainer and has been eminently successful at the track He wouldn't even consider getting back into foot- CANADA OUTDOORS Expert Hunter Believes Most Stalker VANCOUVER .(CP) -- The average North American stalker of big game is an un- skilled beginner and almost be- reft of the finer ideals of hunt- ing. ' Who says s0? ... Albert Messany of Vienna, quiet, mannerly man, 'says it reluctantly. He has made 14 trips to Canada to line his sights across our hills and mea- dows. * Messany is 73, a former con- cert baritone who first visited British Columbia in 1927. Be- tween then and 1938 he stalked through Alberta and Eastern Canada before war cut short his trips. Lee Straight, outdoors writer for the Vancouver Sun, says Messany and his fellow purists are "so far advanced in their rifle hunting as to make us seem crude indeed when we venture afield with our .30-06s and our super buzz-bomb mag- nums." Hunters of his calibre "avoid outright reference to such crass things as quantity and size and frequency of their exploits." "These European gentlemen hunters leak out such informa- tion subtly and modestly but. all sportsmen are proud of their exploits or they wouldn't hunt at all." Messany, who passed through on a hunting expedition, is grand master of the Interna- tional Order of St. Hubert, a s Unskilled It was terminated by Hermann Goering during the Second World War and Messany has spent the last 14 years building it back up. FIRST SHOT MUST KILL He has written three books on Canadian big-game hunting and has one soon to be published. In the philosophy of his fa- mous club: "Tt isn't the large antlers that count so much as the rugged and sometimes smaller racks off the oldest heads. "We try to stalk so close that our quarry {s dead before it can hear the explosion of the cartridge. "Ah, the black cock and the even larger capercaillie (two large types of grouse) are the greatest of adversaries -- shot only with the rifle, of course, not the shotgun. So wary are they that we have a saying-- the capercaillie has an eye in each feather. "One-shot kills are manda- tory (he uses nothing but a 6.5- millimetre) and sorry is the hunter who wounds and must pursue his quarry." He believes Canadian hunting incentives are misplaced. Gov- ernment trophy fees for non- resident hunters, he feels, should go to the big - game guide, not to the tax collector, "as an incentive to that guide to please more free-spending non - resident hunters and thereby increase the province's stalking society founded in 1695. revenue."

There are still only five or six basic plays in a coach's play book and, of course, various offshoots from these, although some coaches would have people believe they have scores of plays. Lear's name came to mind the other day when Argonauts shed. head coach Nobby Wir- kowski. Competent football men said that Argos had player po- tential but that Nobby was too lenient, that he was a "nice guy" \and the players took ad- vantage of him. They wouldn't get away with anything with Leslie (Butch) Lear, a squat five-11, 228-pound lineman who at one time played with Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Western Conference and in 1945 was with the old Cleveland Rams when they won the U.S. pro title, Terrible-tempered Les was a fierce man on the line and he had to be a winner.

Dobbs Quit On Impulse CALGARY (CP) -- Bobby Dobbs, who resigned Monday night as head coach of Calgary Stampeders of the Western Football Conference, said Wed- nesday he was not informed un- til 20 minutes before a team party that club directors had de- cided to install his former as- sistant, Rogers Lehew as Stam- peders' general manager. Dobbs, who led the Stamped- ers to three WFC finals after taking over in 1961, told a press conference at his McMahon Stadium office that his surprise announcement at the team year-end party was "definitely an impulse."" . "T had not talked to any mem- ber of the executive until 20 minutes before it happened and I had no intention of leaving the club," Dobbs said. Earlier reports on the resig- nation of the Tulsa University grad were that the club's board of directors had appointed Le- hew Monday afternoon and in- formed Dobbs of their decision then.

He listened to Calgarians by the hundreds whooping it up on the street below and made this observation: : "Listen to them. I'm a great guy now but I wonder if they'll love me when we !ase a few games next year." He made iit to the cup final in 1949,. the Stamps lost 28-15 to Montreal Alouettes and he was no longer the hero. He left the sport in 1952 and turned all of his attention to thoroughbreds. He campaigns on the Ontario tracks in the spring, summer and fall, hops .in his Cadillac and races his horses in Florida. He could readjust to football quite easily and shake things up around the CFL. But, as he says: of HORNETS GET HELP PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pitts- burgh Hornets of the American Hockey League recalled de- fenceman Adam Keller Monday from their Memphis. farm club in the Central Professional Hockey League.

But he denied reports that he had received a dual offer to attend Montreal's McGill University and play for Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. Roberts is a medical student.

(AP)-- Johnny Longden rode three straight winners at Bay Mead- ows Wednesday as the 57-year- old jockey boosted his record winning total to 5,914. Longden won the second race with Next Sumnier at $8.80, the third with Pocketful of Rye at $9.60 and the fourth with Under the Sun at $6.80. Pocketful of Rye was bred by Johnny and is owned and trained by his 20-year-old son Eric. Remember When?... « Steve Donoghue rode the last race of his great career 27 years ago today--in 1937 --as the curtain fell on the English flat-racing season. He finished third with Lord Derby's Highlander in a lesser race on a card fea- tured by the Manchester November Handicap, which was won by Solitaire. Don- oghue, 52, had ridden al- most. 2,000 winners 'in. his racing career, including six in the English Derby.

Mahovlich Needed Bed TORONTO (CP) -- Frank Ma- hovlich, left-winger for Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League, was an emer- gency case when he entered hospital two weeks ago, his doc- 'RE-ELECT JOHN G. BRADY ALDERMAN ° He Will Give You SINCERE tor said Thursday night. Dr. Hugh Smythe, brother of Leafs' director Stafford Smythe, | refused to divulge the diagno- | Sis of Mahovlich's iiiness. Dr. Smythe, commenting on how the athlete got a hospital bed when so many others in the Toronto area have te wait for them, said: "He was definitely an emer- gency case when he was ad- mitted. Without discussing the diagnosis, I can say that there will be no embarrassment to Mr. Mahovlich or myself when the nature of it is- known." Mahovlich has been in Tor- onto General Hospital for two weeks. He is allowed no visit- ors and both Dr. Smythe and the hospital have refused to make a public statement on his condition. Last week, Dr. Smythe said he "might be out in a couple of -weeks" and added that he had made a diagnosis. Dr. J. E. Sharpe, executive director of the hospital, said Thursday the fact Mahovlich is a sports celebrity had nothing to do with his getting a bed. "We admit our patients ac- cording to how their doctor classifies them emergency, urgent or elective. Mr. Mahov- lich was admitted in accordance with this procedute," Dr. Sharpe said.
