-- 10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, November 23, 1965 Wide Speculation Clair Is Through OTTAWA (CP) -- Speculation that Frank Clair is throug: as E of Ottawa Rough Riders riot Monday. e faction (at least two of the seven directors) wants the club to buy up his contract," a front-page story by aged editor Jack Koffman of Citizen A similar story on the front page of The Journal by Eddie be says "'there is, wide- s conjecture whether Clair will be paid off and turned out." Although Clair has never missed the playoffs in his 10 years with the Eastern Football Conference club, he has reached the Grey Cup only once--win- ning it in 1960. The Riders have finished sec- ond and reached the eastern fi- nal for the last three years, but lost out to Hamilton Tiger-Cats each time. His three-year contract, worth about $25,000 a year' including bonuses, still has two years to go. But speculation about his possible dismissal started late in the season when the Riders went into a slump, losing six of their last eight games and finishing the season with a 7-7 won-lost record. i The nosedive, says MacCabe, ""ndicates there is decay in the organization somewhere." "The dry rot, we believe, team discipline, on and off the field, There was no punishment for individual mistakes and the Riders had a torrent of them. Inexcusable blunders were ex- cused. Players were protected. There were no fines, no penal- ties, no iron fist to keep order." Koffman says the fans are complaining about playing bridesmaid to Hamilton year after year, "and if Clair re- mains, the season ticket sale is bound to be affected." Koffman says Jim Trimble, fired as coach of Montreal Al- stems from a breakdown in =e FRANK CLAIR ouettes last week, would be wel- come in Ottawa, 5 : "However it seems almost certain that Bill Smyth will be the next Rough Rider coach--if the Ottawa club cuts Clair loose." f Smyth, who came to Ottawa). with Clair in 1956, is the de- as Clair's logical successor last fall when Clair was considering an offer to return to Toronto as coach of the Argonauts. Clair started his Canadian coaching career in Toronto, winning two Grey Cups in: five years. Clair's future status' may be cleared up when the directors meet after next Saturday's Grey Cup game between Ham- ilton and Winnipeg Blue Bomb- ers. Oshawa Curling Club Has Season's First Bonspiel The Oshawa Curling Club's 1965-66 season, at the local bons- piel level, was launched on Saturday with a successful repe- tition of the annual Molson's Trophy Bonspiel. A total of 16 club membership rinks compete for the day's top honors and array of prizes, in a two, 10-end games vent, which was climaxed by a buffet supper and the presentation of prizes, at which bonspiel chairman Ray Webster and his assistant Roly Kinton officiated, together with Gord Rae, local Molson's repre- sentative. Scoring system used for Satur- day's event included a 10-point bonus for a win, with one point added for winning each or any of the 10 ends, with aggregate score deciding factor, in case 0! a tie.

Pitcher Joe Zuger and catcher Hal Patterson, two top members of the cast that has brought the Ticats to their eighth Grey Cup final in nine years, were on the sidelines limbering up gently Monday while their team-mates held their first preparatory workout for Saturday's meeting with Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Toronto. Both suffered injuries in Ham- ilton's 17-7. victory over Ottaway Rough Riders in. the second game of the Eastern Football Conference finals last Saturday. Patterson suffered a stretched ligament in his ankle and Zu- ger limped off with a charley- horse. Any impairment in the effec- tiveness of Hamilton's first- string quarterback and top of- fensive end would be a severe blow to the Ticats' chances but coach Ralph Sazio was unwor- ried. 'There's no question in my mind that they'll be all right Saturday," said Sazio, who has a win and a loss in two trips to the Grey Cup final but has never grappled with the Tiger-Cats' Winnipeg jinx as a head coach.

Coach Bud Grant and assist- ants Joe Zaleski and John Mi- chels recruited deftly and pol- ished the newcomers capably to irepair weaknesses that plunged |the Bombers' to 13 consecutive |defeats and last place in 1964. Halfback Dave Raimey dropped in from Cleveland Browns of the National Football League to provide running bal- ance fer an unspectacular but efficient offence. Raimey galloped to third place in WFC rushing with 1,052 yards, most on deadly sweeps to either side. The 24+ year-old rookie took up the slack when 10-year veteran Leo g in mid-season. Ken Nielsen, Hamilton Tiger-Cats after duty with University of Alberta Golden Bears, slipped into an end slot to create extra strength for the pass, already well jlooked after by veteran Farrell |Funston and sophomore flanker Billy Cooper.

The Hamilton of- fence stuttered while he alter- nated with Cosentino, with nei- ther able to move the club con- sistently. When Patterson returned, it soon became clear that the two problems were related. Opposing defences, which had previously keyed on flanker Tommy Grant as Hamilton's only long - pass threat, were forced to divide their attentions as the long - striding Kansan streaked downfield. As the .de- fenders spread; Zuger's short passes began to click and the ground game picked up. Hamilton's 364-yard total of- fence, almost evenly divided be- tween ground and air, in last Saturday's EFC final was the most impressive evidence of the Ticats' improvement. If Zuger and Pattersen are healthy, the Bombers can throw away the book that says they're up against a team that lives by de- fence alone.

When the unexpected happens, as it sometimes does, it's important to know what steps to take. That's . why the competent advice of your Manufacturers Life representative is so valuable. Here are some of the practical points he'll cover. 1. Unless you originall y named an alternative or contingent beneficiary, the money from your policy would be payable to your estate. This may tie up the money and subject it to creditors claims and unnecessary estate costs. In the end, it might not even go to the person you would have chosen unless your will is up to date. 2. If young children were also originally named as beneficiaries, and they are still under age, another problem arises. Unless you make special provision, the policy proceeds at your death would have to be paid into court and held until they reach their majority. P.
