By Anne Narejko Clements came through They made it look so easy. All those hours of practice and all the regular season games came down to 60 minutes. With the excep- tion of the first quarter, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers used their time wisely, winning 47- 17. As a matter of fact, they used it so wisely that each member walked off the field $11,000 richer. The Tiger -Cat members left without the Grey Cup, but .had an extra $6,000 in their wallets. The 72nd Grey Cup game put an end to a 22 year drought for the Blue Bombers. The game was won on strategy and outstanding defensive play. It didn't take quarterback Tom Clements long to forget about his in- jury and concentrate on the offence. As for the defence, Tyrone Jones, who was named the outstanding defensive player of the game, sacked Ti -Cat quarterback. Dieter Brock four times. On one sack, teammate Stan Mikawos picked up the loose ball and ran it 22 yards for a Bomber touchdown. Clements was named the top offensive player and fullback Sean Kehoe was named the best Canadian player. Kehoe, was traded to Winnipeg in 1983, along with this year's Schenley Award win- ner Willard Reaves, from the Edmonton Eskimos. Although Kehoe was with the Eskimos when they won a Grey Cup, he never got to play. This year he made the most of the opportunity andwill most likely never have to sit out another Grey Cup game. Since 1909, the Blue Bombers have made the trip to the Grey Cup 19 times and came away victorious eight times. Their last .vic- tory was in 1962 against the Ti -Cats in Toronto. That game was much more com- petitive as the Bombers took it by one point, 28-27.

The team put forth a good effort, but two goals by Curds McCone were all they could get. The Pee Wees will be on the road until December 22, when they hostWinghanl. ( Anne Narejko photo) this time Hamilton won 22-16. From 1935-'47, the Bombers were tough competitors, making it to the Grey Cup 10 times. They came up second best seven times. - The Ti -Cats' last trip to the Grey Cup was in 1980 when they were defeated by the then powerful Edmonton Eskimos, 48-10. In 1972 they took the Cup by defeating Saskat- chewan, 13-10, a repeat performance from their 1967, 24-1 victory. This year's trip to the Grey Cup was the Ti -Cats' 24th. They left as winners 13 times. The record 60,081 crowd sat through the bitter cold, and like all Grey Cup games, some came dressed for the weather while others must have thought the game was be- ing played in Florida. I find the crowd shots very interesting. When the Bombers pulled away and there was no chance for the Ti -Cats to catch up, I was hoping that they'd show more of the crowd. The things people do never cease to amaze me. Painting your face the color of your team is all right, but wearing nothing but shorts and boots during November, in Ed- monton, is something else. If these guys were sitting at home in front of the televi- sion they'd probably have a shirt and long pants on! Oh well, I guess it's all in the spirit of the big game. The potential television audience was estimated at 50 -million; 17 -million in Canada and 33 -million in the United States. • No wonder • Tom Cleinrents was ' nervous before the game. I must say that I enjoyed the game. I would have liked to see the score a little closer, but I won my bet. Naturally Speaking By Steve Cooke Outdoor equipment for gift s Christmas isn't all that far away, and now is a good time to start thinking about gifts for that favorite person. Another good reason to get in gear now is that outdoor equipment often has to be ordered in specially, so if you want it in time, order it noW. Some very good ideas come out of catalogues.

Mitchell pulled out to a 4-0 lead in the first. period, and then increased it by one in the second. McCone then combined with Chris Hoggarth at the 8:17 mark to put Clinton on the scoreboard. In the third period McCone scored unassisted, narrowing Mitchell's lead to 5-2. However, Mitchell managed to get another goal while holding off their opposition, returning home with a 6-2 victory.

In commenting on the change, Steve Hor- nady,' Company President, said, "All of our current literature and packaging is now us- ing the Hornady brand name to identify our `family' of bullets, reloading equipment, cartridges and shot. We will continue using Pacific and Frontier as descriptive terms in identifying these lines but will eventually phase them out also. We feel that Pacific, Frontier and West Coast have a favorable image but that the Hornady name best represents the overall advantages of quali- ty,'dependability, and accuracy which are important in the mind of the shooting public." Hornady has been manufacturing Pacific Reloading Equipment and Frontier Car- tridges since the 1960's. West Coast Shot, a quality grad shot manufacturer, was ac- quired in 1980. for a copy of Hornady's latest Shooter's Guide, write Hornady Manufac- turing Company, P.O.
