16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, November 30, 1967 Tiger Cats Football Secret: Never Underestimate A Team By STERLING TAYLOR HAMILTON (CP) -- Football is comparable to chess, bridge and billiards--every move is planned and the atmosphere is heavy with psychology. That's the reason it is difficult to determine when Hamilton Ti- ger-Cats are honestly analysing their chances against Saskat- chewan Roughriders or building a straw hut for their western ri- vals in the Grey Cup at Ottawa Saturday. Not one member of the Ti- cats, Eastern Football Confer- ence champions, will. say the Hamilton club is better than Saskatchewan. Only 60 minutes of play will provide the answer after the game gets under way at 1 p.m. EST. The contest will be tele- vised nationally by both the CTV and CBC networks. Every member of the Ticats, including coach Ralph Sazio, will point out where the Rough- riders' strength lies, but no one will outline their weaknesses. During the week before Satur- day's annual Canadian final be- tween the top clubs in the EFC and the Western Football Con- ference, only one Hamilton play- er has come close to revealing the secret behind the strategy. AN EVASIVE PROVERB "You just never underesti- mate the opposition in a football game," says Willie Bethea, a five-year veteran. 'You have to remember that every member of the other team is a profes- sional." The Ticats worked out for, more than two hours Wednes-| day night. Sazio worked on de-| left, split end with the Sas- katchewan Roughriders and voted outstanding Canadian player in the Canadian Foot- fensive and offensive drills on the frozen field of Hamilton's| Civic Stadium, with the temper-/ ature about 25 degrees. | Kohn of Montreal, president of Canadian Schenley Ltd., how it's done. They were attending a dinner at Ot- tawa last night to honor award nominators. bat It was the most extensive | workout the Ticats have! attempted since defeating Otta-| wa Rough Riders 26-0 last Sat- urday in the second game of the! two-game, total point EFC final.| Hamilton won the two-game, total point EFC final 37-30. Although the club acknowl-! edged earlier that it is not con-| cerned with spying, one un-} knowing viewer felt the brunt of Sazio's wrath when he wan-! dered on the practice field. | The unidentified man man- aged to talk his way past secu- | rity guards, walked unmolested | into the centre of the field and stood huddied and almost hid- den by a group of players. ELUSIVE ONE SHOOED It was almost a full minute before Sazio, wheeling to con- sult an assistant coach, spotted the intruder. "What are you doing here. Get off. Get him out of here. Do I walk into your office without asking?"' yelled Sazio. The man walked quickly off the field and disappeared| through the gates leading to the street. Newspaper men were allowed| to watch the practice from the! bleachers. Hamilton scheduled a practice for 10:30: a.m. today. A noon luncheon is planned before the team boards a bus for Toronto International Airport and chartered flight to Ottawa at 3 p.m The club will set up headquar- ters at the Skyline Hotel in Otta- wa, hold a press conference at 11:30 a.m. Friday and a brief |practice at 3 p.m. The Ticats plan to use run- ning shoes and football boots with corrugated rubber cleats | Saturday if the field is frozen. a i sociable ale.
