Welcome mat out for Wilkinson

EDMONTON (CP) — The only two people who have had cause to resent the second coming of Tom Wil- kinson to the Edmonton Es- kimos have put out the wel- come mat instead.

They are quarterback Warren Moon, who fought for years to escape the shad- ow of his predecessor, and offensive backfield coach Ken Bowman, who now must share duties as offensive spotter in the press box.

But Wilkinson's addition to the club on a part-time basis — part of the shakeup that saw former Eskimo great Jackie Parker replace head coach Pete Kettela early last week — was fine with both men as they prepared for today’s Canadian Football League game against Hamil- ton Tiger-Cats.

“I kind of proved what I wanted to prove last year,” Moon said Friday after his first meeting with his old mentor.

“The only reason I was ever under Wilk's shadow was that a lot of people thought I couldn't do it with- out him.”

That theory went down the drain when Moon went the distance alone last year, passing for a record 56,000

yards as he led Edmonton to its fifth straight Grey Cup.

As for Bowman, the impli- cation in putting Wilkinson into the spotter’s booth with him is that the right in-

Bowman, without saying it in so many words, hints the problem may not have been at his end.

“Hopfully we'll be:a little quicker in response now,” said the former offensive co- ordinator for Princeton Uni- versity. 4

“Let's just leave it at that. The number of times we've been down to the 20-yard line and not been able to push it into the end zone, well, we could be 7-1 instead of 4-4.

“Tom will be an extra pair of eyes to help diagnose the defence a little bit.”

The old quarterback has made some suggestions al- ready.

The Eskimos go into the game fourth in the West

Division while the Ticats, also 4-4, are second in the East, two points ahead of Ot- tawa.

Lake swim recalled —

: TORONTO (CP) — Marilyn Bell DiLascio says she can now look out over Lake Ontario and honestly admit she's impressed.

It a 29 years ago — Sept. 9, 1954 — that Marilyn Bell, then a 16-year-old Toronto schoolgirl, became the first person to. swim across the often-treacherous, bone-chilling stretch of water.

Marilyn Belljbecame an instant part of Canadian folklore when she struggled from the darkened waters ‘onto. a cement breakwater as an estimated 800,000 screamed and wept along the jammed Sunnyside water- front.

/“T have many, feelings about that swim,” DiLascio said recently ‘while visiting the Canadian National Exhibition for’ the firat time since that eventual swim. “For a long time, it seemed to me like it happened to some other person. io “Lately 1 must admit I'm impressed. I wasn't then.”

She was 21 hours in the water, and the winds and waves can lier off course and made the 50-kilometre ‘swim yen longer. |. ‘The swimmer was trundied into a blanket and whisked off to a stiite at the Royal York Hotel to recover.

STAGES PARADE The city embraced her with a ticker-tape' parade. The CNE, at first a bit testy about her swim since they were spotlighting the great California swimmer, Flo jobads, Eeveeneedl her with the $10,000 earmarked for

Both teams show promise they can deliver more but have been inconsistent.

Parker said the Tiger-Cats have premium offensive play- ers and a sound defence, and he is preparing for a tough game.

‘Hamilton coach Bud Riley was not sure what impact Ed- monten’s coaching change would have.

A total of $2 participants enjoyed a sunny day of ori- enteering at Fort Shepherd last weekend, using the new color map of the area.
