REGINA -- Edmontons Tyler Thomas and John White, and Saskatchewans Keith Toston will do their best to find holes while plugging them at the same time. Thomas and White ignited a punchless Eskimos offence Friday night by combining for 153 yards rushing in Edmontons 19-14 victory over the host Saskatchewan Roughriders in CFL exhibition action at Mosaic Stadium. Thomas carried the bulk of the load for Edmonton and registered 96 yards on 12 carries. White added 57 yards along the ground, including a 41-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that gave the visitors a 16-14 advantage. Hugh Charles, in his seventh season in the CFL, is the lone veteran on the Eskimos depth chart in the backfield. Charles had two catches on Friday for 13 yards. "It has been a crazy ride for us during training camp," said White, who added one catch for 22 yards. "Its a friendly competition with all of us. I want Tyler to do well, I want Hugh to do well and I want to do well. "Ball out -- thats all we have to do." It was the Eskimos backups that spurred Fridays second-half comeback. Second-string quarterback Matt Nichols threw for 155 yards, most of which came in Edmontons 14-point third quarter. Nichols, the backup to starter Mike Reilly, found Adarius Bowman for a 20-yard touchdown strike and later handed off to White for his long touchdown burst. Thomas showed his versatility the previous week when he led the Eskimos in rushing with 24 yards and tacked on 38 yards on three receptions. Eskimos head coach Chris Jones wouldnt tip his cap to which running back has the inside edge for the starting job. "(Thomas) was hanging on to the football," Jones deadpanned. "Well find out in a few days (who our starter will be)." CFL teams have to make final cuts before 10 p.m. Eastern time Saturday. Toston finds himself in a similar position as his Eskimos counterparts. Hes battling Anthony Allen and Jermaine Thomas for the Riders No. 1 running back spot. With the departure of Kory Sheets to the NFLs Oakland Raiders, the defending Grey Cup champions have a big hole to fill in the backfield this season. Tostons 67 yards rushing on seven carries Friday night helped his cause in that tight race. Allen had 39 yards along the ground on 10 carries and Thomas was held to eight yards. "At this point, we have all battled as brothers for this job," Toston said. "Whoever is blessed with the opportunity to be that number one guy is going to ride with it and Im sure the next man will cheer him on." Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin hinted the job might be one accomplished by committee. "I think theres still something that needs to be proven at that spot," he said. Darian Durant looked sharp for the Riders. He was 7-for-11 passing for 113 yards and two touchdowns, both to Taj Smith. Reilly completed nine of 15 pass attempts for 60 yards.

Bob Cousy Jersey . – Team Canadas Brooke Henderson carded a 4-under 67 at Craigowan Golf and Country Club to jump into the lead at the Canadian Womens Amateur Championship on Wednesday.MANCHESTER, England - Manchester United relied on a fortunate winning goal from Juan Mata and a breathtaking double save from David de Gea in injury time to beat Stoke 2-1 and secure a fourth straight Premier League victory on Tuesday.Comfortable but never convincing at Old Trafford, United ended up scrambling to the three points that kept the team in the top four and maintained its revival under new manager Louis van Gaal.Matas winner in the 59th minute had a slice of fortune about it, with the Spain playmakers inswinging free kick from the right curling over the heads of a number of players in the box and bouncing into the far corner.However, it needed two superb saves from De Gea and a goal-line clearance from Ashley Young — all in the final two minutes of injury time — to prevent Stoke from checking Uniteds momentum.I am not happy with the performance, Van Gaal said. Maybe we forced the luck and that is also because of the fighting spirit.Without the injured pair of Wayne Rooney and Angel Di Maria, United lacked creativity and took a 21st-minute lead through a direct route when Marouane Fellaini scored a towering, far-post header.Steven Nzonzi equalized in the 39th for Stoke with a powerful shot from the edge of the area and failed to genuinely test United until a frantic, final few minutes.The episodes at the end were unbelievable, said Stoke manager Mark Hughes, who spent 13 years at United as a player across two spells.United has beeen looking to restore the fear factor at Old Trafford — but its makeshift team was far from intimidating without Rooney and Di Maria, and a defence containing wingers Young and Antonio Valencia as full backs.ddddddddddddIn the end, two high balls into the box — crosses that Stokes physically imposing teams down the years were masters at dealing with — were the downfall of the hard-working but limited visitors.Fellaini nipped in front of left back Erik Pieters to meet a hanging cross to the far post by Ander Herrera with a downward header into the centre of the goal. Stoke should have been behind by then, with Herrera blasting a shot over the bar after Robin van Persie had intercepted a weak clearance by goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.Nzonzi scored with Stokes only shot on goal in the first half but United restored its lead just before the hour mark when Mata swung in a cross that narrowly eluded leaping United defender Marcos Rojo, who initially claimed the goal, and dropped into the far corner.Fit-again Colombia striker Radamel Falcao came on for the final 12 minutes for United to replace 19-year-old James Wilson, who came in for Rooney.But it was Stoke which finished the stronger, with Mame Biram Diouf seeing a header brilliantly parried out by De Gea and then having his goalbound shot cleared off the line by Young.Im happy with the result, Van Gaal said, tomorrow we have a Christmas party and its important we can enjoy that.
