TERRACE BAY NEWS THE Page 13 SPORTS BEAT By Glen May While Glen May is off on assignment we are reprinting some of his earlier columns through popular request. This one is on amateur football in this country. A glaring Amateur football across Can- ada has. been blocked at the line of scrimmage for years. But, knowledgeable voices in the wilderness are now crying out. Two ex-Hamilton Tiger-Cat football stars feel the Cana- dian Football League is hypo- critical in its approach to the. development of young Cana- dian talent for gridiron wars. Both have sound credentials - to back up their remarks. Bernie Custis was the first Negro quarterback to make the grade in Canada. He was named to the all-star team at that position and then Switched to halfback where he again received all-star plaudits. Dick Brown made the dream team as a defensive back. Brown was noted for his rock-ribbed tackles and tough punt returning. These two handled the coaching reins of the Oakville Black Knights for five years in the Senior Ontario Rugby Football Union. A league ruling stipulates a Senior ORFU club can only use 28 players in a game, al- though they can sign as many as they like until "a cutoff date" comes into effect 'near the end of the regular cam- paign. This~ is basically the same setup across Canada, in- cluding high school leagues. ,. Brown and Custis are posi- tive this arrangement is block; ing the development of young Canadian footballers. As Brown put it: "The pro teams are crying for Canadian talent, but they turn around and handcuff us by only allow- ing certain players to make the team." His solution would be to al- low any amateur team in Can- ada to dress as many players as it desired, enabling the coach- es to "assess various players under game conditions." In many instances certain players sparkle in practice but fizzle in weakness games, and vice versa. This makes it an almost impossible task for any coaching staff to correctly evaluate each player. Custis feels the CFL should "throw open the door and al- low amateur teams "to dress 100 players for games if the coach wanted to. In this way more 'youngsters would be giy- en the opportunity 6f proving themselves one way or the oth- er." : done on a professional level as the pro elub's bankroll would be quickly wiped out. ' Canada: has_ produced the finest hockey players in the world and the reason is simple -- Opportunity. Granted, hock- ey has hundreds of more or- ganized teams than football, but stop to consider why. Due. to the pepularity of the sport the many leagues expand set- ting up. a horde of classified groupings allowing, even the worst to play. Football almost discourages youngsters who aren't blessed with an abundance of natural ability which shows quickly. Often a boy turns out for a grid squad, and after two or three pYactices, is. released by the coach because he hasn't shown anything. How could he? Our professional clubs are attempting to skirt this obsta- cle by sending "rookies" to American colleges via the scholarship route. This is only helping a small minority of budding players. If the CFL is se:fous with its development scheme it will correct this glaring weakness. All that is needed is for the CFL to pass a ruling which would allow any amateur team to use as many players as pos- sible. Then, and only then, will amateur coaches be able to say, in the words of Winston Churchill, "Give us the tools and we will finish the job." Natusally _ this "eannot be.
