Wildcats last try, face hot HubbleThe only people who feel it is not impossible are the Weston Wildcats.The ’Cats must defeat St. James Hods in Sunday’s Mani-toba-Saskatchewan Junior Football League encounter at Winnipeg Stadium to gain a playoff spot. The defending league champion Rods are unbeaten this campaign and all but one of their victories have been of the easy variety.Wildcats have the added burden of also needing a Regina Rams’ victory over Saskatoon Hilltops before even a win over Rods will clinch the berth. If Rams co-operate Weston must still win by a very one-sided score as they are well down in the points for and against columns.The Rodneys have no intention of losing. They have never had an unblemished league record and are set on making it all the way to the Dominion finals without a setback.

The newcomers will get in a few plays to attain their eligibility but the Rods will likely shoot the works with their big guns. They will do a little experimenting but with Hubble blasting up the middle new plays will be an added luxury.Game time 2:30 p.m.Portland blanks Olympics, 4-0VICTORIA (CP) - Portland Buckaroos of the Western Hockey League showed power in all departments Friday night as they beat a hard-skating Canadian Olympic team 4-0 before 2.600 fans in Memorial Arena.Ken Lauffman scored once in each of the first two periods and Art Jones and Tom McVie scored in the third.The Canadian team, in the middle of a tough exhibition tour in preoaration for the Olympic Games, looked tired after Thursday’s 3-1 victory over Seattle Totems of the WHL, but skated with Portland throughout.Main difference in the clubs was in shooting and finish around the nets.Ken Broderick made 32 saves for the Canadians, while Don Head blocked 10 shots for Portland in the first period and Rick
