Looking down the line

FROM PAGE 12

And, again according to Higgins, the bellweather city of the league, the Toronto Argonauts, are starting to show ‘gradual, but steady turnaround.’

Because of the size and geographical location of the Argonauts, they have

become the key city to the success of the league, and while they did not set the league on fire from the field last year, the acquisition of Ralph Sazio, the astute former general manager of Hamilton Tiger-cats, is expected to help the Argos regain some respect on the field, which in turn, can only help the league.

In the west, the stronger competition of the clubs last season is expected to

continue this year with Edmonton receiving a rougher ride than '81.

While big things are

expected from the Lions, all western clubs are expecting to be stronger, making each game between the western club ‘key’ contests.

Higgins is hopeful that the Eastern teams will also be able to come up stronger this year rather than the run away Hamilton had until the play-offs when the Ottawa Rough Riders came to life.

To counter the downturn in the economy, the Lions president claims that the fans ‘need the anticipation of big games’ week in and week

out. There is no room for ‘weak sisters.’

While the expectation of Halifax joining the league is ‘emotionally a hell of a great idea’ Higgins warns that the far eastern club has a number of ‘subject tos’ they have to fulfill before the club is a fact. As he says, ‘I’m in favor in principle, but we (the rest of the league) don’t want to subsidize them.’

The next six months will be the critical period for the Halifax group to come up with the black and white

figures to go along with their ideas and theories.

There's no doubt in Higgin’s mind that the ad- dition of the club would add excitement, even though it would certainly add to travel costs.

The league situation entering the 1982 season can be summed up by saying that it’s looking pretty good.

More stable management across the board, coupled with what appear to be more competitive teams should

make for a good year in the C.F.L.

MOVING INTO YEAR five with the Lions is Devon Ford, a defensive back who could be working from cornerback during the "82 campaign.
