By JACK SULLIVAN No one doubts that the Cana- dian Football League is staffed with competent men. But you wonder how they could be so negligent about the league's public relations. Possivly these chaps still don't realize that they are in the en- tertainment business and, as such, consideration should be given to the guy who pays the shot--the fan. The CFL has been criticized ogver the years for its bush- league operation, but the critic- ism hasn't sunk in yet. A prime example was last Saturday's Winnipeg-Hamilton Grey Cup fi- nal at Toronto. Game officials conferred with the Tiger-Cat and Blue Bomber Goaches prior to the game and agreed, because of the high winds--30 to 40 miles an hour-- @ punt of about 14 to 20 yards, and beween the ends, would be whistled dead as soon as a re- Geiver touched it. Frank Clair Still Coach Rough Riders : OTTAWA (CP)--Directors of| Ottawa Rough Riders will con- sider the status of coach Frank Clair at a meeting next week, but vice-president Sam Berger 6ays he's sure the veterah coach will be back next year. "T don't think it's even a ques- tion of retaining him,"' Berger gaid in an interview Tuesday. . 'We'd. he making a» terrible Blunder if we took any action to dismiss him." Although he has never missed a playoff in 10 years as Rider head coach, Clair was the tar- get for criticism this year. when the club failed to live up to pre- season expectations. Clair himself spoke of a Grey Cup season after the. signing of fullbacks Jim Dillard and Bo Scott. While Dillard and Scott made the Eastern Football Con- ference All-Star team, the Riders finished second behind Hamilton Tiger-Cats for, the third consecutive year , And for the third straight year they were eliminated by the Ti- €ats, who went on to win the Grey Cup.

It certainly is the prerogative of officials to change the word} "may" to must in a game as| important as the Grey Cup--if'| only to remove any ambiguity from the rule--but, the question remains: Why didn't CFL officials let the fans know about this? There were two key plays in the game, which Tiger-Cats won 22-16, that left fans who paid up to $12 a seat wondering what in earth was going on out on the field. One was in the third quar- ter and the other in the fourth. The first occurred when Win- nipeg's Ed Ulmer punted into the wind and saw the ball float back toward him. He grabbed it but Ticats' John Barrow snatched it and ran toward the Bombers goal line. The touch- down was called back, however, because the play had been whis- tled dead when Ulmer touched the ball. Ticats were given pos-| session but promptly lost it on a fumble.
