38 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, October 13, 1965 Lions Coach Turns Author 'Countdown To Grey Cup VANCOUVER (CP) -- It isn't Dave Skrien who describes Em- pire Stadium as 'dark and de- serted in its hollow." Skrien wouldn't say Willie Fleming's talent is like "Jimmy; Brown and the young Jackie) Parker and Hemingway." | He wouldn't describe the 'sound of a tackle as "zack." But barring a few such lit- erary intrusions by co-author Dick Beddoes, who is otherwise lucid and direct, Skrien's just- published Countdown to Grey Cup (McClelland and Stewart) makes a 8 Oe reading for a Canadian football an. Thick with quotes, it is a re- vealing record of a coach tak-| ing British Columbia Lions to the top prize in the Canadian Football League. Here is the trumpted fight with general manager Herb Ca pozzi; the notorious Bill Frank controversy;. the short salary negotiation with Mel Renfro and what went on at. the side lines while Lions were whipping Hamilton Tiger-Cats 34-24 to win the Grey Cup last Nov. 28 Beddoes, sports columnist who went to the Toronto Globe and Mail from the Vancouver Sun in 1962, puts Skrien's ma terial into Gronological form starting with the eve of the 1963 Grey Cup game, which Lions lost, and concluding with the celebration of the 1964 game which they won. FOUGHT WITH CAPOZZI Writers and broadcaster here, who unanimously praised the book, turned first to the ac- count of Skrien's well-publicized scrap with. Capozzi over. the seating of players' wives at home. games When Skrien discovered - the wives had been dealt seats. for 1964 inferior to those they held in 1963, he.phoned the Van couver Sun, threatening to quit the club and saying Capozzi had/ing made a "deliberate attempt to undermine me." Club. president Clayton Del bridge smoothed the matter SPORT FROM BRITAIN over, but upbraided Skrien for choosing newspaper headlines instead of "normal. club channels to get results. In reply, Skrien gave a para- ble about the man who coun- selled "'affection and kindness" toward his stubborn mule, But before he got around to being kind to it, he always beat the animal with a club "to get his attention." "Tt know I'm the villain in this," Skrien says he told Del- bridge. 'But all I wanted to do was to get Herb's attention." Discipline was a big problem in what Skrien calls "the year of the skylark."
