that's that much better. These are two of the finest teams in cesta

directed the Bombers to a 49-22 victory over Edmonton
Eskimos in the western semifinal.

Bonk, a western all-star and finalist in the Schenley
Award balloting for top offensive lineman in the CFL, said
Clements’ vast experience has been a bonus for the
Bombers. .

By GRANT KERR
VANCOUVER (CP) — Head coach Cal Murphy brought
stability to Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a season of
revolving-door quarterbacks by having faith in his Canadian
Football League players.
The Bombers went through six starting quarterbacks in

Kennedy

Murphy's first season with Winnipeg and maintained a high
level of play with a 9-7 record despite several serious
injuries to key players.

“The important thing he's done is never lost faith in
players to step into key positions,” veteran centre John
Bonk said Friday night. “He helped build character in times
of adversity.

“He told us to never let down, no matter what the
situation, because something’s always going to come out that
will be good for us. Basically that’s the kind of philosophy
we've followed all year.”

Tom Clements will be a quarterback Sunday when the
Bombers meet British Columbia Lions for the Western
Division it B.C. Place Stad! The game will
be televised at 2 p.m. PST on the CBC national network.

TRADED PIVOTS

“He's an intelligent individual and a leader out there,”
said Bonk. “I have a lot of confidence in Clements behind me
because of his great experience in the league.”

The Bombers started the season with Mark Jackson at
quarterback while Brock was a holdout, then went to rookie
Nickie Hall, Brock, rookie Norman Gibbs, Clements and
John Hufnagel. 3

Winnipeg also lost such key performers as defensive
end Pete Caton, guard Nick Bastaja and running back
Willard Reaves to injuries.

EMOTIONS HIGH

The Bombers were at an emotional high against
Edmonton in the semifinal and Bonk believes Winnipeg .can
maintain its intensity against the Lions, who finished first in
the West with an 11-6 record, including 44-6 and 80-18 wins
over the Bombers.

“Ina season when there are so many games, it’s hard to

k-t k with the same kind of emotion,” Bonk said.

Clements was at from
Tiger-Cats for disgruntled pivot Dieter Brock. After
suffering a shoulder injury, Clements returned to the
Winnipeg lineup late in the season and last weekend

“But when it comes down to a playoff game like this, you
can't help but get emotionally high, especially against teams
like Edmonton and B.C.

Kicking key in Eastern final

By IAN
TORONTO (CP) — If the weather is to be a

veteran with five Grey Cup championships — all as a punter
with Eski:

factor in the Eastern Division final today, the whole
structure of the game could depend on the kicking specialty
teams.

In that event, Bernie Ruoff of Hamilton can be expected
to have an edge in experience since the 82-year-old
Kitchener, Ont., native is touted by many as the league's
best all-round kicker.

Not that he had that much chance to show his full value
this year as the Tiger-Cats tripped and crawled into the
Canadian Football League playoffs before shocking Ottawa
Rough Riders in the semifinal to earn a title shot at the
defend: Toronto A

Ruoff got to a tremendous start with 100 points in the
first half of the season, but was held to 49 points over the
last eight games to barely win the Eastern scoring title.

“When we were struggling for so long at the end of the
season, the offence wasn't moving the ball,” Ruoff said as the
Ticats worked out Saturday at Exhibition Stadium. “If the
offence isn’t moving, then you're not going to get an
opportunity to go for field goals.”

His Toronto counterpart, Hank Ilesic, is a 28-year-old

Tu-Dor

In his first year with the Argonauts, the man they call
Thunderfoot is a relative neophyte on field goals and his
inexperience in this area was apparent at critical stages in
several Toronto games. :

There's no questioning his tremendous leg strength.
Nine of his kickoffs this year went for singles — a club career
record. Former Toronto kicker Zenon Andrusyshyn, now
with Tampa Ray Bandits of the United States Foortball
League, held the previous mark — six — compiled over a
period from 1971 to 1982.

Ruoff believes successful kickers are those who have a
special holder.

“It's an art,” said Ruoff. “It just doesn’t work with
anybody holding.

“There's a special quality person involved, from the man

rh tres the ball (in B 's case rookie Pat Brady) to
the holder (backup quarterback Jeff Tedford) to the kicker,”
he added. “I’ve got to nave confidence that once I take those
three steps into the ball that it's going to be down and
ready.” ‘

Tedford is the latest of at least three players who have
held the ball for Ruoff this season. He started with Tom
Clements, the quarterback Hamilton traded to Winnipeg
Blue Bombers to acquire.Dieter Brock. Then there was

preparation is concerned.”

y\ said the

Bombers have become accustomed to the domed stadium by
practising here since Thursday.
BOMBERS CONFIDENT
“We have the confidence now that we can go in there
and not be intimidated,” Bennett said. “We're confident we
can come out on top, without a doubt.

“We were at an

peak against EF: and

this game should push us that much farther, to an even
higher level. With all the adversity we've overcome this
year, it should be no problem getting ready to play the

Lions.”

Brock threw five interceptions when the Lions won 44-6
here Aug. 20 and Winnipeg fumbled the opening kickoff
away to the Lions at the Bomber three. yard line.

“We were a little closer last time with Hufnagel at
quarterback and now we've got Clements, too,” added
Bennett. “Revenge isn’t on our minds; we're here to win the
game and get into the Grey Cup.”

“Look what happened to (Edmonton's) Dave Cutler
when (quarterback) Tom Wilkinson and (centre) Bob Howes
retired,” Ruoff noted. “It took a while for Cutler to settle on
a new kicking group.”

While Ruoff's holders this year have been quarterbacks,
it doesn’t necessarily make them better suited for the job.

“I had my best year with Leif Pettersen (retired
Hamilton receiver) holding for me and look at (Trevor)
Kennerd in Winnipeg where he's got the punter (Bob
Cameron) holding.

“It just should be somebody who handles the ball all the
time.”

Ilesic can appreciate the need to have a cohesiveness on
the field goal teams. He was teamed with centre Mike
Hameluck and slotback Jan Carinci most of the year. :

“We kicked 14 consecutive field goals after the halfway
mark in the season, until Jan was hurt,” Iesic said. “I sure
missed Jan when he wasn’t in there.”

Carinci is back in the lineup, however, and some of those
misplaced kicks could be headed toward the uprights with a
little more consistency.

Toronto head coach Bob O'Billovich continued .to keep
the fans — and media — guessing Saturday as to who he'll
start at quarterback against the Ticats.
