Believe it or not, sportswri- ters do become bored writing their own viewpoints week af- ter week, tossing about an or- chid here and an onion there. Undoubtedly, readers of sports columns also must become somewhat tired of reading one man's opinion,meek after week. A recent dispatch from the Canadian Football League somehow found its way to this department. Indeed, there must have been an ill wind swirling somewhere clos:: by. , Tie aforementioned release contained the usual mundane items such as who did what in the opening playoff games in the • Eastern and Western Conferences.

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.

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 53.2 aerials. me completion prize was woti 'by the NFL with' a 21,6 mark, but the CFL ,was at 27,5' and the An at 27.4.

In percentage of passes completed, again it was the CFL showing the way with a mark of 517 -,,to be followed by the NFL with .516 and the AFL with .a surpris- ingly low .474.
