SPORTLIGHT

By KEN WOODS

Why is it that soccer isn’t
as popular as other sports?
Football, a relatively new
sport sets Canadian attendance
records, baseball passes the
million mark, hockey also
plays to large gates. In terms
of attendance and publicity,
etc. soccer is not in the same
category as these others.

I consider the game of soec-
cer to be the most interesting
and the greatest team sport of
all. Soccer is also the most in-
ernational of all games,

The weakness of soccer loc-
ally is that there isn’t any
competition in league play
like other sports. For example
Vancouver, Victoria, and Se-
attle in hockey; Eskimos,
Rough Riders, and Lions in
football. Spectators come out
to support the home team and
see the visitors play. —

The way it is now it is im-
possible for people to rally
around any one team. They
are monopolized by the local
brewing industry, who spend
a few dollars for uniforms and
coaches and receive millions
of dollars through this cheap
form of advertising. The ex-
ample of this are the teams—
Labatts, Carlings, Pilsners.

I-can remémber when the
North Shore had a team and
they played against New
Westminster, Nanaimo or Se-
attle. When these games took
place there was keen interest
shown .by the public in the
competitions. This is further
borne out by fact that when
touring world teams, such as

the, Russian Lokomotives,
Glasgow Rangers, come here
they play to crowds of 18 to
20 thousand.

Throughout the Lower
Mainland there are about 700
juvenile and junior teams
which shows the enthusiasm
of young people for the game. |

the heights they can achieve
are limited to local Saturday’

afternoon efforts in Cailister’
park,

This year could and should.
be a big year for the expansion
of soccer. It should see the.
formation of a truly Pacific
Coast league embracing Van-
couver, Victoria, Seattle,
Portland, and San Francisco,
with a playoff against the
Eastern loop.

With the itinerary for the
touring teams, including such
great teams as Manchester Un-
ited, Hearts Juventus (Italy),
Russian teams, plus the return
trip of a Canadian team to
Britain and Russia, it should
enthuse B.C. soccer fans to the
point of at least attending the
Saturday games. The calibre
of soccer played at these gam-
es is first rate.

Overall, soccer like all other
sports, will only develop when
the government allocate funds
for coaching schools and ‘gen- .
eral assistance. In this way
young people will be encour-
aged to participate as players
and not only as spectators.

Given both personal and
financial support we could
very well develop soccer in
Canada to a contender for the
world cup in Chile this year.

Photo shows students in Peking enjoying a swim in one

of the many new pools in the city. Swimming is very
popular among students of middle and primary schools
who usually take four to five hours swimming a week.
Other athletic activities enjoyed on a mass scale are track
and field, gymnastics, diving, football, basketball and
volleyball. Like all socialist lands, participation in sports

is on a mass scale.
