President, of the Women's TERRACE BAY NEWS ts | Page 13 SPORTS BEAT AC Maat hy Bravo Mr. Brody! A recent heading in the July 3 issue of Sports Illustrated reads: An Expo of a different kind. In bold type under the heading is the following sen- tence: U.S. coaches flock to the novel show-off camps devel- oped by Canadian pros, who believe that what goes south will surely someday return. This article, under the by- line of Tom C. Brody, is a searing indictment against the system used by Canadian high schools. in developing football- ers. It is beautiful. Furthermore, the rest of this column will be devoted entire- ly to Mr. Brody and his acid typewriter. "Until very recently the voice north of the border was still and small. It is not yet a full gale shout but the word is out, and coaches (U.S.), air- travel cards at the ready, have begun to swoop down on such places as Calgary, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Toronto and Ottawa to mingle with tough young Canadians who want nothing more than to attend classes and play football for American universities. By _ unofficial count, there were 150 Canadi- ans playing football in the U.S. last season, and there could conceivably be 100 more each year who would look good in anybody's jersey. "It is no coincidence that the locations mentioned are the home towns of Canadian professional football teams. "The great migration south, in fact, stems from rules that stipulate that Canadian foot- ball should be a game for Ca- nadians by Canadians -- most- ly -- and thus the rule: of the 32 players on each CFL team, no more than 14 may be for- eigners. The rest must be Ca- nadian born and bred. "The rule is great for nation- al pride but rotten for good professional football. Players freshly graduated from Cana- dian high schools are obviously not ready for the rigors of the professional game, and since Canadian colleges would as soon import a crate full of scorpions as given an athletic scholarship, CFL teams are in constant danger of being manned by players who will look as out of place as mini- skirts at a coronation. "The solution was so obvious it was overlooked for decades: send the best prospects south for four years, then bring them back to Canada bigger, better, and wiser. The problem was convincing American _ recrui- ters that there were any Cana- dians_ worth giving scholar- ships to. There was also the risk that should a boy turn into a rip-roaring stud capable of demolishing entire back- fields in a single pass.rush, the American pros might snap him up. Or perhaps he would de- cide that four years of football was great fun and then, armed with a degree, say thank you very much and go into busi- ness on his own. "It took approximately three minutes of the opening day workout (in Toronto) for the American coaches to see what was what. "The big linemen's version of the three-point stance bore a striking resemblance te a bull elephant teetering on the edge of a precipice. And when the ball was snapped, there was an agonizing moment of stark inactivity by both line- men and backs. The explana- tion is simple. Canada's season starts late and ends early -- before the autumnal blizzards make anything caught off snowshoes absolutely station- ary for the season. And even during that short time any practice lasting over an hour, three days a week, is approach- ing overemphasis. As for a coaching staff, usually it con- sists of a phys. ed. teacher who has read a book on football."
