LIONS FACE THE CHALLENGE

this team.-is invincible would resort to the old me-
dieval treatment called tearing out the tongue.

However, ‘all that being --

‘some 'prefty good football
team to keep B.C. Lions

Cup game this fall. And it's
jgoing to take some pretty
‘good team to knock off the
Lions in that game.

A quick look around the
league will show that while
virtually all teams have had
some kind of major, or at
the least, a series Of minor,

agility of Ned Armour to
start to mature this season.
The wide receiver from San
Diego State has been a spot
player to date, but appears

the pressure off the running
backs, as does Henry Vereen
who has been playing semi-
pro ball in Las Vegas for the
past two years after a strong
career at the University of
Nevada-Las Vegas.

Of course the old guard
are sull around and look for
more great catches from
Mervyn Fernandez. Mer-
vyn, now in his third season
with the Lions, continues to
improve each year, and is

now feared by defenders as
one of the best deep
receivers in the Canadian
Football League.

Add running back Ray
Strong, who seems to have
recovered from knee surgery
after the 1983 Grey Cup
game, and (Re solid and
dependable John Henry
