assessed for nine.

a,5-1 record.

A recent dispatch from the

somehow found its way to this

It also revealed thai the
CFL final statistic -Will be
released after the Grey Cup
contest. w ,
Reaching for a ninth cup of
coffee (after all, it was only
11.30 a,m ) something almost
sprang out of the green CFL
Football Facts sheet! A chart
was enclosed which compared
the aggregate performance. of
both teams in the "average"
1969 CFL' games with the av-
erage 1967 and 1968 game,
and the National Football Lea-
gue and American Football
League games in 1968.
Now, this was woeth reading.
And, _After reading it, these
facts had to be chronicled in
this space.
• However, -we will only deal
with the 1969 season in the
CFL and the 1968 season in
the American leagues as their

In total first downs the CFL
was, 'ahead with a figure . of
35.7. The AFL had 321 and
the NFL 317.
New in rushing plays the
AFL had 33.4 and the NFL
63.0 with the CFI., trailing at
56.2. But in rushing yardage
the CFL, strange as it may
seem, came' out on top with a
2,849 'total. The NFL had
253.5 and the AFL 251.2.
Taking it on a step further,a
5.1 figure was the length of
the average rush In the CFL.
In the American lea.gees it was
an even four yards per rush.
Going to the air, the AFL
figures proved highest. AFL
quarterbacks averaged 57,7
passes thrown per game while
the NFL had 53e 5 and the Cul

other surprise. The CFL, was

the NFL 337.2. In percentage
of passes completed, again it
was the CFL showing the way

- was 7.9 yards in the CFL,6.3

AFL. Interceptions; CFL 3,8,
AFL 3.2 and NFL• 2.9.
In punting you must remem-
ter the our downs in the
American leagues.
In the CFL there were 18,8
punts a game. In the AFL
there 'were 11.1 and the NFL
recorded 9,4 punts per game.
The average '.punting yardage
per game was, naturally, 'in
the CFL's faVor, 756.4 to the
AFL's 435.6 and the NFL's

The average punt was 41.9

punt 'return average was wc:,
by the AFL with a mark of
8.6 -followed by the NFL with

NFL at 3.2.. -
