...equal to that of the Middle Eastern nations but contained in sands deep beneath the Alberta soil and thus far too expensive to tap. Canada cannot even take full advantage of all the oil that it is now pumping; a cross-country pipeline goes eastward from Alberta and Saskatchewan only to Toronto. Thus, while Canada exports some of its western production to the U.S., it is forced to rely on imports to supply its eastern provinces...

Cleveland gave the Twins nine singles in the first five innings, but Minnesota stranded eight of those runners. The Twins got a run in the first on Bobby Darwin's base-hit, scoring Steve Braun...

For the East it will be the veteran Ottawa Rough Riders banking on a terrorizing defensive front four, or the Montreal Alouettes, led by N.F.L. Dropout George Mira. Whichever two survive the divisional finals, the style of play promises to be untamed...
