So hU club will have to try especially "hard" as the postseason Ontario Rugby Football Union playoffs finally get started at 8 p.m. today at Memorial Stadium. THE RAIDERS, victims of football politics by their rivals, the London Lords, haven't played a game in 21 days. Cifelli senses that the long layoff could hurt his team's chances, so he'll have to pull all the psychological tricks. "I'm afraid it'll almost be practically 'almost' impossible to get the boys 'up' for the game." said Cifelli Friday.

"We've only had three good practices In two weeks. So you see that I'm alarmed and upset about the whole thing." Cifelli, who frowned on London's tactics which caused the postponement of Tuesday's opening game in London, predicted two things would possibly happen "The boys can all out and reallv plav themselves a game or 'flat." Cifelli announced his club should he in top physical condition. End Bill Johnson, who fractured his tne in the season's finale against Sarnia, should be ready tor duty. Quarterback Attention!
