Pressed by enemy linemen, he will sometimes roll out of his protective pocket and throw on the dead run. But he usually gets all the time he needs to fade leisurely back and pick apart the defense.

His friends liked to say: "Weston can't go out in the afternoon without coming home with a couple of bakeries in his pocket." Weston never lost sight of his original goal-more outlets for Canadian wheat. Says he: "I'm not an intellectual, and my success has not been due to brilliance but to sticking to an idea like a dog to a bone...
