Those two clubs, as any foot- ball fan knows, can find more ways to lose a game than any in the country. They fumble, miss assignments, have passes inter- cepted and show little sustained offensive power, bring in rein- forcements in wholesale lots, and send their fans home game after game mumbling to themselves. FAITHFUL FANS But these last-place clubs—-Ar- gonauts in the Big Four with one victory in seven outings and Lions in the Western Conference with a big zero in the win column in 10 starts—draw the fans as if they were Grey Cup contenders. The cash rolls in, enough to bring chuckles to Managing Di- rector Lew Hayman of Argo- nauts and General Manager Herb Capozzi of the Lions, but they're i n couple of sad sacks when they look at the standings.

Now the Lions. . Their coaches and manage- ment have, at times, taken a fearful beating from the football writers but that doesn't stop crowds from beating their way to Empire Stadium, the largest park in the country and scene of this year’s Grey Cup final. The Lions have played five home games so far this year be- fore a total of 124,158 persons. That averages out at 24,832 a game, the best in the country, and a figure that makes other club officlals drool.
