Don't look now but
the B.C. Lions are tied
for first place in the
CFL west.

After a secmingly-easy
26-6 victory over the
Winnipeg Blue Bombers at
Empire Stadium last
Tuesday the B.C. Lions
appear to be well in control
of their game this season.

Joe Paopao passed well;
the defence, led by former
Offensive star Leon Bright,
was abie to stop the Bombers
when necessary; and the
specialty teams were superb.
The Lions would seem to be
fully deserving of their 2-0
record.

One doesn’t want to sound
like a pessimist but don't
forget what happened last
year. B.C. won thei first
four games, tied the next,
against Edmonton and then
continued their winning
ways for.a few more weeks.
Halfway ..throngh .the season
they Jled the. western: con-
ference. —_—-

They finished third and
lost to Calgary in the semi-
final, —~

There were some signs
Tuesday. that this. year's
version of the Lions might
fade in the stretch, much
like last year’s model.

SELF-INFLICTED

Most of Winnipeg's
troubles this scason(three
straight defeats) have becn
self-inflicted.

In all their games so far
the Bombers have been able
to penetrate deep into
opposition territory only to
come up empty, or with only
a field goal.

Soccer team

needs players

The North Shore Attalos,
a team in the 3rd division of
the Vancouver and District
socecr league, are in the
process of rebuilding for the
next scason.

The team will be holding
practises at Klahanic Park
every Thursday night, and
welcomes nacw players.
Anybody intcrested in trying
out for the Attafos should
contact Alan Hird at 980-
5284.

exception. -.

Time after time the
visitors crossed B.C.’s 30
yard line only to be foiled by
dropped or misthrown
passes. At least three
Winnipeg touchdowns were
prevented this way-not
B.C.'s pass defence so much
as Winnipeg's own mistakes.

That the Bombers were
able to get so close to the
goal line should be cause for
some wo!ry.

At the same time, B.C.’s
offensive threat was not all it
could have been. Over half
of B.C.’s points came from
Lui Passaglia-four field goals
and two converts. The of-
fense only scored one
touchdown-the Lions’ other
major came on an beautiful
65 yard punt return by Harry
Holt.

At one time Paopao
brought his team to within
three yards of the Blue
Bomber goal ine. On three
tries he wasn't able to get the
ball in for the touchdown.

But these are things to
worry about in the future,
namely B.C.’s next game-
against the defending Grey
Cup champion Edmonton
Eskimos. ~

For now the Lions ‘are
undefeated and tied for first.

And they did play an
exciting game last Tuesday.

Club teaches
how to row

The Vancouver Rowing
Club is offering introductory
rowing courses for the
second year in a row.

SO successful were last
year's courses that a number
of the 84 praduates won
medals in the B.C. summer

peting in local and
provincial regattas and many
more are still rowing for
recreation and to keep fit.

The course, for adult men
and women, costs $60 and
starts Monday, August 18. It
lasts for five weeks, two
evenings a week. The course
will be held at the Van-
couver Rowing Club in Coal
Harbour, Stanicy Park.

For registration or = in-
formation call Alec Whit-
tam, athictic dircctor, at
