FOOTBALL FEVER!THAT'S PVTTING IT MILDLY
Gals, how would you like to be the wife of a
popular grid, star? You wouldn't have much time for
curling, golf or rafter sports because practically your
entire 12 months of the year would be tied up in
the game of football. Whether you like it or not,
football is a game that gets intoyour blood and
that's just what has taken place with the Brown family
of Calgary.
Mrs. Gordon Brown, nee Miss Joyce Simmons
of Exeter, is vacationing in town until the end of
October and the .great Canadian game of football is
one of the family's top conversations. The reason is
self explanatory, Mrs. Brown has a husband playing
for the Calgary Stampeders of the Western Inter -
Provincial Football League.
Gordon Brown, who is better known to the
western fans as "Porky", has been with the Calgary
club for eight seasons. He started Nvith the team in
1950 and was chosen as "Rookie of the Year" in his
first crack at the professional game. "Porky" tips
the scales at the 255 -pound mark and eats steaks
like kids take candy. He usually plays middle guard
on the Stampeders but this year he has moved to
tackle. He is respected by all players. sports writers,
commentators and fans as one of the better athletes
in the loop.
Gord is 31 years of age and has his life tied
up in Calgary where he wouldn't leave. for the world.
His family enjoys the same feeling—his wife and
three children, Sandra, Robb and Valerie are Calgary
fans right from the football stadium to their own
back yard.
The life of a western football player isn't a
cinch, particularly if you want to give that needed
extra that makes -you a star. Gord starts his training
for the fall classic early in the spring on his own.
From there he moves into what iN known as the
Canadian camp in June. With conditioning stressed
more decisively there, he is more than ready for
the "open house" training camp in July which sees
American imports by the carload arriving to seek
playing berths on the squad. 'Where does this extra
practise get you? Well, it's certainly paid off for
Brown. His first real accomplishment was being
named "Rookie of the Year" in 1950. Secondly, he
made the Western Inter -Provincial all-star team in
1953. All this means more greenbacks in his pocket
and makes life more pleasant. Sports announcers out
West, are lauding the 31 -year-old veteran as' he's
enjoying another fine season with the Stampeders
although they currently hold down fourth place in
• the loop standings.
Gord has only one real ambition left and that's
to get into a Grey Cup game. For eight seasons now
the Calgary club keeps knocking on the door of the
western league only to bow out in the group play-
off. 'It looks as though' they won't do it this year.
but we'll pass on the best of luck for the coming '59
season.
Besides his football career, Gord is the chief
Emit for Gulf States of Canada and works at his
job all year round.
Robb, his three-year-old son, tells us he wants
to play football too. It seems it must be for Gal-
gary! He'd prefer to star as a quarterback though.
There's more money in it!

LEAFS GOING NO WHERE FAST?
We took in the opening game of the '58-'59
NHL hockey season in Toronto a week ago when the
Chicago 'Black Hawks dumped the Mapleos 3-1 be-
fore a starry-eyed crowd.
From Leafs' opening performance, particularly
in the third period, it looks as though the Toronto
fans are going to be tortured with the same kind
of shinny they witnessed last season. Maybe this isn't
a' fair statement to make after seeing the Leafs in
only one game, but the hockey did look like scram-
bled eggs in a frying pan at times. It's hard to under-
stand how a club can look so good at times and then
all of a sudden run stale, For the first two periods,
we thought the Hawks were lucky to be only trailing
by one goal, The splendid netminding of Glen Hall
held the Toronto shooters at bay but the score could
just as easily have been 4-0 entering the final stanza.
The root caved in on Coach Bill Reay and his
youngsters when 'rod Sloan, recently traded by the
Leafs, slammed his first of two goals past Johnny.
Bower. His second was the clincher but hustling
Bobby Hull powered home a blueline scorcher for
good Measure.
Despite the loss, we feel the Toronto club has
taken steps in the right direction to strengthen the
team. Acquiring players like Kraftcheek, Stanley,
Creighton and Olmstead should bolster the rookie
squad considerably and balance out the club to cope
with all but one in the league. Les Canadiens!
Frank Mahovlich, Olmstead, Brewer and Wil-
lie, Marshall, when he got on the ice, were about as
effective as any the Leafs had to offer. On the
Chicago aide of the fence, Coach Rudy Pilous should
be happy. If they don't make the playoffs this ,year
they never will. St. Laurent has bolstered the club
tremendously. Hull, Litzenburger, Sloan, Lewicki and
"Nester" haven't slowed up a bit. Look for them in
the playoffs this year unless several unforseen in-
juries take place.
CUFF CLEANERS — We hear that the Butchers are
looking for a new manager in the Men's Bowling,
League , What's the trouble Glen, old boy! ,
"Hank" Green keeps 'getting his share of dueks.
Picked two more out of the air this week . Curl-
ing starts on November 4 with two nights open for
spiels this year. Many enthusiasts around town are
raring to go . Ice please! . . The Exeter Golf

Different Story In Stratford
The shoe was on the other foot
in a hard fought tussle in Strat-
ford.

big and rugged football squad
and it seemed that every time
Ravelle and Co. tried one of
their running or passing plays,
it. was stopped cold, particularly
when the South Huron club
moved inta the Stratford end of
the field. On four separate oc-
casions, the locals were unable
to untrack themselves with first
downs around Stratford's 25 -
yard line, The winners, Who- are
leading the league with three
wins in as many starts, rose to
the occasion defensively and
looked weptionally sharp with
their defensive patterns.
Strata Lead All The Way
Pete Hillier, with a strong west
wind behind him, toed a beauti-
ful 60 -yard punt into the South
Huron end zone for the first
point of the game. From there
on, the Stratford club never
looked back pointwise:'
It was a Hillier -Steve Scott -
combo 'that set up the first
major of the game for the win-
ners. Scott fired a long down -
field pass to the swift -moving
Hillier to move thekball down
to the locals' 10 -yard line. From
there, Jim Edmonds took a hand-
off through the right side of the
red and black line for the TD.
Although the locals had the
wind with them in the second
quarter, Stratford's defensive
setup seemed to keep them off
stride. A perfect example of this
