Frank CLAIR,
Football
Coach: 1917-2005
Ottawa Rough Riders' coach and general manager did not always
remember his players' names but he knew what it took to win the
Grey Cup
By Danny GALLAGHER,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Tuesday, April
12, 2005, Page S7
Toronto -- He was known as the absent-minded professor whose
players' names sometimes beat him but Frank
CLAIR was an innovative
Canadian Football League institution. Once, when injury forced
a halfback out of an Ottawa Rough Riders' game, coach
CLAIR shouted
frantically for backup Billy Kline to replace him. It was too
late -- he had been traded two years before.
While general manager with the Riders, Mr.
CLAIR signed a player
by the name of Paul Moses and was telexing the move to the Canadian
Football
League's
Toronto offices. Mr.
CLAIR started typing Paul
Abraham and coach George
BRANCATO, who was beside him, noticed
the error and told his boss: "No, it's Paul Moses."
"Oh," Mr. CLAIR answered, "I knew it was some guy from the Bible."
Whenever Montreal Alouettes' star running back George Dixon came
to Ottawa, Mr.
CLAIR referred to him not by name, but by number.
"Gotta watch that No. 28," Mr.
CLAIR would say. If the player
was Calgary Stampeders' linebacker Wayne Harris, it was, "Have
to watch that No. 55." Even after star Ottawa quarterback Russ
JACKSON had won a host of awards, he was still "No. 12" to Mr.
CLAIR.
"On occasion, he would call me Russ but usually he called me
by my number. That was one of his idiosyncrasies. He didn't remember
names," Mr.
JACKSON recalled.
"Frank was so excited he didn't know what was going on in a game,"
said Dave THELEN, a former Rider and Toronto Argonaut fullback.
Mr. CLAIR was a pioneer in the Canadian Football League, introducing
the short-trap play in 1950 and in the same year introducing
films as a key method of assessing plays and personnel. He also
had a habit of turning around moribund teams and winning a host
of Grey Cup titles.
Wouldn't you know it -- in 1950, with the help of that short-trap
play and his game movies, Mr.
CLAIR's
Argos won the Grey Cup.
Two years later, they did it again. Mr.
CLAIR also coached the
Riders to three Grey Cups -- in 1960, 1968 and 1969, and was
general manager when they won again in 1973 and 1976. He was
Canadian Football League coach of the year in 1966 and 1969.
All told, he compiled a won-lost-tied record of 174-125-7 and
his teams finished out of the playoffs only twice in 19 seasons.
Mr. CLAIR was born in small-town Ohio, graduated from Ohio State
University and gained some playing time with the National Football
League's Washington Redskins. Along the way, in the field house
connecting the football and basketball fields at Purdue University,
Mr. CLAIR met his wife
Pat and they married in December of 1948.
Mr. CLAIR was the head coach at the University of Buffalo in
1949 when he was persuaded to go to Toronto and coach the Argonauts.
"Al Dekdebrun, who was a Toronto quarterback and
an All-American
at Cornell, dropped by our training camp in Buffalo and said
I should come to Toronto and coach," Mr.
CLAIR recalled in 1980.
"I had never seen an Argos' game but I was enthused about the
spirit of the football people in Toronto."
Yet, when he looked at film Clips of the Argo games in 1949,
he was appalled. "They had a terrible team, a bad program and
the physical conditioning was bad," Mr.
CLAIR said. "Recruiting
was virtually non-existent. I put more emphasis on films and
got the owners to do films of every game."
The result was the short-trap play. "I think that's what won
the Grey Cup for us in 1950," he once said. "Billy Bass was the
fullback and time and time again, the holes would open. It was
something the other teams hadn't seen."
It was a simple play and one he always enjoyed describing. "It
looked like a sweep, with both guards pulling. There was a lot
of quick hitting. One guard would pull to trap the tackle and
our tackle would block their linebacker, clearing a hole in the
line."
Mr. CLAIR left Toronto after the 1954 season and worked for a
spell at the University of Cincinnati only to be lured back to
the Canadian Football League to take over the head-coaching duties
in Ottawa in 1956. "Ottawa had a terrible team in 1955 -- terribly
disorganized," he once said. "I told the Ottawa directors that
it would take five years to build a championship team. And it
was five years, right on the nose, in 1960 when we won the Grey
Cup."
Over the years, Mr.
CLAIR witnessed scores of talented Canadian
Football League players such as Dave
THELEN, Ron
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART, Vic
WASHINGTON, Bo
SCOTT, Margene
ADKINS, Whit
TUCKER, Moe
RACINE,
Mike NELMS and Tony
GABRIEL, but Russ
JACKSON stood out as the
"best ever."
"When he [
JACKSON] moved up behind the centre, he took command,"
Mr. CLAIR said. "He had a good voice... he made you think he
was an army sergeant. We felt like we were going somewhere with
him."
Mr. JACKSON and many others contend that one of the best offences
ever assembled in Canadian Football League history was the late-1960s
combo in Ottawa consisting of himself, Whit
TUCKER,
Mr.
ADKINS,
Mr. WASHINGTON and Mr.
SCOTT.
"I spent some 12 seasons in Ottawa, all with Frank," Mr.
JACKSON
said. "The biggest memory I have of my time there was that he
gave me a chance to play as a Canadian. He was very innovative
in his offensive preparation when we practised Monday through
Friday for a game on the weekend. We used the short-trap play
in games some, but we also had the option play... in those days,
I liked to run a lot."
Mr. CLAIR, a genius at snagging import talent, pulled off one
of the greatest coups in the Canadian game by persuading two
top-flight U.S. quarterbacks -- Condredge
HOLLOWAY and Tom
CLEMENTS
to sign with the Riders on April 23, 1975. It was coincidence
that they signed on the same day. Mr.
CLAIR signed Mr.
CLEMENTS
in Pittsburgh and Mr.
BRANCATO signed Mr.
HOLLOWAY in Knoxville,
Tennessee.
Frank CLAIR's run with the Riders lasted 25 years, a tenure that
had its tenuous moments of rough waters, especially in the last
two years when ownership wanted him out as general manager.
In 1978, in one of the stormiest controversies in Canadian Football
League history, Mr.
CLAIR was replaced as general manager by
Jake DUNLAP. To compensate, he was offered a job as vice-president
and director of player personnel with a $10,000 pay increase.
Even so, Mr.
CLAIR saw it as a demotion and quit. All he could
understand was that he was losing his general manager's job and
he wasn't being told why. Football fans were on Mr.
CLAIR's side
throughout the drama and club owner Alan
WATERS and executive
vice-president Terry
KIELTY were seen as villains. The Rough
Riders initiated new talks and Mr.
CLAIR wound up with about
$50,000 a season and the job the club had offered in the first
place.
However, it was not the end of the affair. Several weeks before
Christmas in 1980, the Riders said they wouldn't be renewing
his contract. "I was disappointed, but I signed," Mr.
CLAIR said
at the time. "All I wanted to do was help the club."
All the same, he did not rule out the possibility that he would
move to another Canadian Football League club. Indeed, he returned
to the Argos in 1981 as a scout, tapping Canadian and U.S. college
talent for seven years before heart surgery meant he finally
had to pack in his football career.
Ottawa remained dear to the
CLAIRs and for a time they kept their
home in the Billings Bridge area and spent winters in Florida.
In 1993, they moved permanently to Sarasota, Florida
That same year, Ottawa named the arena at Lansdowne Park arena
the Frank Clair Stadium. Sadly, it hasn't done a thing for the
city's football prospects. Ottawa hasn't come close to a Grey
Cup since 1976 when Mr.
CLAIR led his squad to a 23-20 victory
over Saskatchewan.
Frank CLAIR was born May 12, 1917 in Hamilton, Ohio. He died
March 27, 2005, in Sarasota, Florida, of congestive heart failure.
He is survived by his wife and by a daughter.

FRANKLIN,
Cecil
Hammond "
Cec"
Peacefully, at Central Park Lodge, Toronto, on Thursday, January
27, 2005, in his 90th year. Loving and cherished husband of Ingrid.
Predeceased by his wife Phyllis Lorraine (Peg), 1983, and daughter
Sandra, 1987. Dear father of Rob and his wife Pinky. Loving grandfather
of Signy, Ali and Tad. Sadly missed by cousin Jean
WATSON.
Fond
uncle of Richard and Carol
FRANKLIN,
Keith and Carole
McEWING,
the Culley Clan, and many grandnieces and grandnephews. Cec was
a treasured member of Ingrid's family, especially beloved by
Edith HANSEN, her son Jason, daughter Nicole and friend Scott.
Graduating from Northern Secondary School during the Depression,
Cec worked in Toronto before heading to Northern Quebec in pursuit
of a more rewarding life in the mining industry. He worked for
Prospectors Airway and Mining Corp. at various mines in the Abitibi
and Temiscaming regions, eventually residing in Noranda, where
he left employment to start his own entrepreneurial endeavours.
Cec started his first enterprise in 1951, selling new and used
mining equipment. With early success, he moved the family to
Toronto where he expanded his business to include a number of
small manufacturing companies. Always entrepreneurial, he acquired
an expanding number of interests in businesses and mines, both
public and private, from coast to coast. At 75, having achieved
success and satisfaction, he retired from active business life.
Throughout his life he was an active participant in community
life, and served in many capacities. He was Chairman of the University
of Guelph, a Governor of the Scarborough Grace Hospital, an active
member of the Prospectors and Developers Association, and the
Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Cec loved the outdoors,
and was a proud founding member of the Goodwood Hunting Club
and an active member of the Nicholson's Island Club. He was a
very generous host at the York, Granite and Rosedale Clubs. Always
a proud Canadian, he enjoyed fishing and hunting, his cottages
and farms. In pursuit of travelling the width and breadth of
the country, he became a pilot at the age of 44.
A heartfelt thank you to the management and staff of every department
of Thorncliffe Central Park Lodge, and especially to caregivers
Emy MacRANES, Helen
FRANCES, Josie
GABUTEN and Macrina
PONCE.
