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.

Bill Ellenng- ton was practically everywhere defensively as he broke up a number of dangerous ,..istowel plays deep in the South Huron end of the field, Different Story In Stratford The shoe was on the other foot in a hard fought tussle in Strat- ford. Stratford Collegiate. 'provided an exceptionally well balanced, 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.
