We've seen a lot of years with less color, less drama, down a long trail that leads back a half century or so. We doubt, for instance, that 1954 will produce the 1 53 Grenother y Cup final i} inn tdrama he last few minutes, when Indian Jack Jacobs of Winnipeg Bombers threw pass after pass through the crisp, sunny November air. On the strength of his strong right arrrched btthe nlge of the ffoing HamiltoBombers nT ca s back to the very their own Iine, in defence of a 12-6 lead, Four yards out, the hands of the big clock spinning in the last few seconds, four yards to go, another Jacobs pass, Tom Casey going high in the air to catch it, Casey bowled over, the ball spinning wildly away . . . a gallant effort suddenly finished, But Jacobs, the goat of 'Bombers' 1950 defeat, redeemed himself by one of the greatest passing displays In Grey Cup history. And the finish of another great Canadian sports classic, the Stanley Cup . . . Canadicns of Montreal and Boston Bruins battling for a full 60 minutes without a score in what proved to be the final game. Battle -scarred Elmer Lash ivheeling from a face-off to whip a strealsing cross-fire that ,sagged the far side of 'Sugar Jim Henry's net, and. the crippled Henry, after a- brilliant ' display, standing' there for second, his face a study in stunned disbelief, as the wild roar of the crowd sounded its requiem to Boston's hopes for hockey, triumph.. And Canadian college 'football may never produce a greater, More dramatic thrill, than in the last 40 seconds of the final play-off for the inter -collegiate title, when Varsity leading 8-7, Western quarter -back- Don Getty, 18 year old college junior, sent a perfect pass hurtling through the air to Murray Henderson, who went racing over the Varsity line, literally snatching victory out of defeat. Yes, 1953 was a year of color and drama on many sports fronts, and we shall do as admonished by Archilochus, the Talmud, Diogenes Laertius, and the .law of Solon: De mortuis nil nisi bonUm—"Of the dead nothing but good," 1953 was a good year in sport. 1954 will do well to equal it.
