CFL WEST Proudfoot said he thinks perhaps experience has something to do with it. The Alouettes have six players on: defence who have been with the team at least eight years.

FOR ALLSTARS | The Herald, Friday, November 16, 1979 Paga 7 Banquet end of road? TORONTO (CP) — There isn't anywhere ta go but To- ronto for this year's Canadian college footbail all- stars, The 1979 Canadian Inter- university Athletic Union football team is being honored today, although the players were officially an- nounced Wednesday night at- a fund-raising dinner at- tended by Princess Anne. The trouble is, it's end of the road for most of the players with no more op- portunities ta impress the pro scouts. “And.it’s a damn shame, too,” Frank Morris, director of "player personnel for Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League, said Thursday night at the Schenley Awards presen- tation. “There should have been some effort to continue the CanAm Bowl games either in Tampa or somewhere else,” ‘Tt not only gaveus a good chance to get another lock at the Canadian | kids, we got a chance to see some U.S. college players we hadn't even heard of." Morris and represen- _-tatives of almost every CFL team are here this week for the Cotlege Bow] showdown at Varsity Stadium where the University of Western Ontaria Mustangs meet Acadia Axemen for the third time in four years. The Can-Am Bowl, in- augurated two years ago, be- came a showpiece for the elite of Canadian college football to show their talents against U.S. collegians using Canadian rules. ‘The first two Can-Am Bowls proved financial flops and sponsors held little hope after the 1879 game at Tampa, Fla., that the series would continue. After talks to move the game to Lubbock, Tex,, -foundered, the CIAU an- nounced that the game had been cancelled temporarily, Morris wasn’t the only one disappointed in the can- cellation of the Can-Am Bowl. “] would have loved to have played,"’ — Scott Mallender of Windsor Lancers said Thursday night after learning he had won the Hee Crighton Trophy as.the... ‘ outstanding. college football .- player in the country. The honor followed the an- nouncement Wednesday night that he had been named quarterback to the all-Canadian squad — which will, be formally acknowledged aL today’s luncheon. He would have’ been a sure-fire starter for the Canadian college all- stars had the Can-Am Bowl continued. Reglonai District Kitimat Stikine Area C Knows your concerns? - YES “We were going to win sometime,'' Mallender observed, “It might have taken us a couple of more years, but we'd have been there soon. “Now I suppose that’s it. They'll just drop it," said the 23-year-old senior at Windsor who never did gel an op- portunity to play in either of the CanAm Bowl contests which were staged early in January, Other Schenley winners named Thursday night were defensive end Jim Muller of Queen’s Golden Gaels, who won the J.P.
