Ciair's Koughies a ae ee eL 7 Sights On Top Spot By THE CANADIA NPRESS The stage is set for Frank Clair t. perform another mir- acle, For the man many believe to be the outstanding football coach in Canada, the drive be- gins this weekend to lift his Ot- tawa Rough Riders to a first- place finish in the Eastern Foot- ball Conference. Clair has led the Riders since 1956 and has mever missed the playoffs. But they have never finished first, and this could be the year. Many pre-season predictions had Ottawa mopping up the cel- lar of the four-team league. But Clair assembled the flot- sam and jetsam he discovered when the team began training and molded it into a football team which now is tied for first place with Hamilton Tiger-Cats, last year's Grey Cup finalists. Each team has four games left, beginning this weekend when they both play host to Ed- monton Eskimos in Canadian Football League interlocking contests. The Esks play in Ot- tawa Saturday and in Hamilton Monday. Edmonton has no prospect but jabout finishing first. Western Conference, with just two victories in 11 games. In the only other eastern ac- tion this weekend, Toronto Ar- gonauts visit Montreal Sunday for a game with the Alouettes which could mathematically eliminate the Argos from play- off contention. Clair isn't overly optimistic "I'd really like'to finish on top this year," he admits. "But to do it, we'd have to win the next four games," The Rough Riders will play two of their final three games at home, against Montreal and Toronto, but the big contest may be in Hamilton Oct. 26. The Ticats won 24-20 when the two teams met there Aug. 24. The Tiger-Cats will play Ed- monton Monday with one new Canadian in their lineup. He's all-Canadian lineman John Bar- row, who will become a Cana- dian citizen Saturday. "It's something I've been thinking about for a couple of years," said Barrow, who be- "It involves my future and the future of my family." The Argonauts may try yet to act as spoilers.

Fullback Jon Rechner, re- cently removed from the Argo disabled list, may finally have en opportunity, although prob- lably not at fullback, Toronto al- ready has Larry Hickman and Ron Hatcher at that position. Rechner was one of five play- ers dealt to Edmonton during the winter for Jackie Parker. The Argos regained him when they later sent Bruce Claridge to the Eskimos. The main interest of Montreal fans seems to be im who will play quarterback for the two teams in Sunday's game.

He may not dress AL Defende Lot Tougher BUFFALO (AP) -- Cookie Gilchrist is sure of one thing: defences in the American Foot- ball League are a lot tougher than a year ago. The Buffalo Bills' massive fullback, voted the AFL's most valuable player in 1962 after he ripped apart enemy lines {cr 1,096 yards, doesn't think 1963's rushing champion will have to go that far.

Gilchrist, 28 and weighing 251 pounds, has been bothered by a variety of ankle and rib injur- ies this season.

Both O'Quinn and Ottawa coach Frank Clair have been re- ported as unhappy with the ref- ereeing in Regina last weekend when Ottawa played Saskatche- wan Roughriders. Ottawa beat Saskatchewan 28-13 and drew 10 penalties for a total of 90 yards, Saskatche- wan drew two five-yard penal- ties. O'Quinn said eastern referees should handle interlocking Ca- nadian Football League games in the West. Western referees should accompany western clubs in their eastern swings. "It would cost some extra money but we're out of the bush league now," said O'Quinn. Referees did work partial in- terlocking- schedule earlier in the season. Paul Dojack handled two interlocking games in the East while eastern referees Ray Boucher and Seymour Wilson handled one game each in the West.

He seems optimistic that he might retain the league rusaing title. "We've still got nine games to play, so I think I've got a good chance if I get the ball enough." Gilchrist carried the ball 214 times in rushing for his 'eague record 1,096 yards last year.

Although each of the eight other teams in the league had submitted lists of four '"'bar- gains", the lowly Mets and Colts obviously did not find much comfort in the list of 33.

A'ter Quinn was taken to a hospital, he regained conscious- ness and sat up. Bob Carpenter, the club's owner, said Quinn felt better and wanted to leave the hospital. But he was detained overnight, Spokesmen at Jefferson Hos- pital said Quinn's ailment was not serious, but did not say what afflicted him. Quinn, who in the last five years rebuilt the Phillies from a cellar dweller to a first-divi- sion team, was at a luncheon announcing the appointment of a new farm director. In September, 1950 Quinn col- lapsed from what was later de- scribed as a gastro-intenstinal disturbance. He quickly recov- ered. At the luncheon Gene Martin announced he was retired as head of the Phillies' farm sys- tem and his assistant for the past two years, Clay Dennis. was named to the post. Martin said he will help the Phillies as a special scout, Henley, Faloney Ti-Cats Nominees HAMILTON (CP) -- Halfback Garney Henley and quarterback Bernie Faloney were named Thursday night as first and sec- ond choices of Hamilton Tiger- Cats for the Jeff Russel Memor- ial Trophy.

European Cup Play By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London, England Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- Borough United, non-league team from a small village in North Wales, whose gates seldom reach more than $100, has made soccer history by winning its way through to the European Cup Winners Cup second round, Having beaten League teams last season to win the Welsh Cup, Borough United qualified for the European Cup Winners competition. With a team made up of or- dinary working chaps of their village, however, they were not taken seriously in the competi- tion. In the first round they were drawn against the Malta Cup winners, Sliema. And foot- ball fans began, to sit up and take notice when, in the first leg of the draw, in Malta, they held Sliema to a 0-0 draw. In the second leg, which was played on the Wrexham ground because Borough United have no floodlights in their molest little ground, 18,000 cup-crazed Welsh fans turned up to cheer them on to a 2-0 victory which put them into the second round of the competition. They col- lected some $6000 from the gate at Wrexham, more money, their treasurer said, than they had ever seen in the club's history. There was no question of Bor- ough's supremacy once they had overcome early nerves in the game, and they were clear-cut winners. Now they go into the second round of the cup against such teams as Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Sporting Lisbon, Slo- van and Manchester United. Whether or not they go any further, it will be a great nigh: home game of the second round, against one of the giant Euro- pean clubs,-is played at Wrex- ham, where Borough have de- cided to play it. And it would be a fabulous thing for these Welsh part-timers if they were drawn. against Tottenham, and appeared at White Hart Lane in the second round, PLAN NEW SYSTEM The Football League has de- cided not to appeal against the High Court verdict in the George: Eastham case, in which the retain-and-transfer system was declared illegal because it was an "unjustifiable restraint of trade." Instead, a new type of contract, which the League's lawyers claim will be perfectly legal is being drawn up, and will be discussed with the play- ers and the club managers. But the new contract dos not provide freedom for the players. They will not be able to leave clubs at will a'ter their con- tracts have expired, Alan Hard- aker, League secretary, said this after a meeting of the man- agement committee of the League: "The retain and transfer sys- tem is fundamental to the League and must go on. What we have tried to do following the George Eastham High Court case is to evolve a scheme which is fair to club and play- er, which is not in res'raint of trade and which is legally valid. We think the new con- tract will be binding on both sides. The League cannot run the risk of a George Eastham popping up every few years." The proposed new form of contract will be discussed at a meeting of club chairmen on November 5. It is hoped to use it for the 1964-65 season. for Welsh soccer fans when the Danny Blanch"lower, who has played in 55 internationals for Ireland and was their last team captain, has been dro) from the Irish team to meef Scotlard in the first full international of the season. This is rather sur- prising, as Blanchflower has been playing superlative foot- ball in recent Tottenham games. Jimmy Mcllroy, scheming inside forward is also out of the team, for a differeat reason. His club, Stoke, refused to re- lease him unless their Irish goalkeeper, Irvine, was also chosen for the team, so that, with two players selected, Stoke could have their league match on that day postponed. But Harry Gregg of Manchester United was nevertheless chosen as goalkeeper. There are three Arsenal paly- ers in the side -- McGill at right back, McCullough at left half and Neill at centre half. Martin Harvey of Sunderland re- places Blanchflower at right half, Billy. Bingham, chosen at o- right, is the team cap- in. wy i SMART WOMEN ... have their carpets ond uphol- stery cleaned 'The Safe Way' by DURACLEAN 728-8518 Jim Bishop's Sporting Goods, ® Kin fet, Oshewe.
