The clock was ticking away, and E!- der took a big chance. Instead of going around an obstacle in the middle of the course to get a good runup for the last fence, he cut in front of it, just as Stein- kraus had done earlier. This gave him a runup of only two yards, but over Isgilde went without touching the barrier. His final time was 50.2 seconds and "I knew I had to gamble if we|after we cleared the ninth fence were going to win," said the 25-/that even if I had a knockdown, year-old Elder. my time probably would "The horse did ev: Ilenough to take second, so I asked and luckily not went nothing to lose and a lot to wrong.

They now mzet Winnipeg Blue Bomb- ers in a best-of-three Western In- terprovincial Football Union final starting here next Wednesday.
