            A SALUTE TO THE CFL CHAMPION BALTIMORE STALLIONS

                                 ______


                        HON. BENJAMIN L. CARDIN

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 20, 1995

  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the accomplishments of 
my hometown Baltimore Stallions, 1995's Grey Cup CFL Champions. This 
class organization, in just its second year of existence, has become 
the first American team to win the Grey Cup, Canadian football's 
version of the Super Bowl.
  Led by C.F.L. most valuable player Mike Pringle, along with the 
quarterback Tracy Ham and an excellent supporting cast, the Stallions 
victory in their second consecutive Grey Cup appearance is proof that 
football has, indeed, been alive and well in Baltimore for quite some 
time now. In winning the Grey Cup, the Stallions have capped off a 
remarkable season this year by finishing 18-3, a new C.F.L. record.
  This victory also completes a football trifecta for Baltimore as we 
become the first city to have won an N.F.L. title, a U.S.F.L. title, 
and now our latest, a C.F.L. crown for our Stallions. I am proud to be 
a Baltimorean today Mr. Speaker, as I congratulate the 1995 C.F.L. 
Champion Baltimore Stallions.

                          ____________________
