CRAFTS TAKEN
SERIOUSLY

BARRIE, Ont, (CP) — After

years of obscurity, Canadian .

crafis now are considered
serious art, said potter Robin
Hopper, first recipient of the
$15,000 Saldye Bronfman
annual award for excellence
in crafts. “Craftsmen have
never re-ceived the
recognition and re-spect
they've deserved.”

Commonwealth games preview

Edmonton to be best games yet

by Michael Murphy
For 10 days next August,
the XI Commonwealth

Games will attain for Ed-.

monton a position that not
even the all-powerful oil is
capable of achieving — a
picae on the world map.

On the afternoon of August
3, close to 2,000 competitors,
managers and coaches
representing over 40 nations
will march into the new
$21,000,000 Commonwealth
Stadium to mark the opening
of the XI Commonwealth

Games. It is estimated that —

500 million people across
Canada and the globe will
watch the extensive live
coverage of this historic
occasion.

For Edmonton, the Games
mean more than the oap-
portunity to attract world
wide attention for a few

fleeting days,
In order to stage the
Games, the City was

Tequired to build five new
and badly needed facilities.
With a budget of $36,000,000
approved in September 1975,
the City proceeded to site,
design and build the Com-
monwealth Stadium
(athletics), the $8.7 m
Commonwealth Aquatic
Centre, the $680,000 Argyll
Velodrome, the’ $505,000
Coronation Greens, and the

so00 gosSiratheatl fag «between

The'remaining capital was
used to buy land, upgrada
existing facilities, instal’
scoreboards and timing
equipment, and purchase
sports equipment. -

With the exception of
Commonwealth Sta!ium, all
the new facililie- are
complete, The 43,400 ‘eat
stadium will be cun, ad
with the laying of the Pro-
Turf track in spring.

The five remaining sports
will be staged at existing
venus. The very popular
boxing will take place in the
Edmonton Gardens:
gymnastics (Coliseum);
badminton (Univsersity. of
Alberta’s Ice Arena);
weight lifting (Jubilee
Auditorium); wrestling. A
demonstration sport
lacrosse, will also be staged
in the Coliseum.

For Edmonton the building
of facilities, which will serve
the community for many
years, was a bargain. The
toal cost to the City was
$11,600,000, The remaining
funds were drawn from the
Federal Government, the
Government of Alberta, the

Kinsmen club of Edmonton .

‘and the Commonwealth
Games Foundation.
However, the building of
facilities is one thing. The
actual staging of the Games
is another. In January 1977,
the Commonwealth Games
Association of Canada in-
vited the 48 nations of the
Commonwealth to par:
ticipate at the Games.
Exactly one year later the

Association ahd received
confirmations from 35
countries, Including six from
the African bloc. This is only
seven short of the record
entry of 42 at the Edinburgh
Games in 1970. Under the
constitutlon, each country
has until three months prior
to the opening ceremonies to
accept.

Sports officials estimate
that close to 2,000 com-
petitors, managers and
coaches will attend the
Games. They will be housed
in Lister Hall, the University
of Alberta’s three-tower
students’ residence.

Competitors will sleep two
to a room and the cafeteria,
which seats 1,200 at one
sitting, will be open 24.
heuraa day.

It is estimated that 13 tons of
beef, 10,000 dozen eggs, 6,000
pounds of fish, 10,000 pounds
of fowl, 15,000 litres of milk,
5,000 gallons of juices, 8,000
eases of fruit will be con-
sumed in the period from
July 27 to August 15 when
the Organizing Committee is
obligated to foot the feed bill
of close to $1,000,000.

And eating and sleeping in
the Village will be some of
the world’s great athletes.

Games organizers are
hopeful that the much sought
after and long awaited clash

t

John “Walker,

Zealand, and Filbert Bayi “Ot
Tanzania, will become a
reality.

Bayi (1500 meter world
record holder) and Walker
(mile world record holder)
haven’t met since the
Christchurch Games in 1974,
where Bayi set the new
world mark for 1500 m.

If an upset is in store for
the two great runners it
could come in the shape of
Englishman Steve Ovett,
who won the 1300m in a
brilliant race at the World
Cup Champlonships in”
Dusseldorf, West Germany,
also in September.

Another prime clash would
be.a Hasely Crawford-Don
Quarrie meeting. Crawford
(Trinidad and Tobago) wan
the 100m in Montreal and
Quarrie (Jamaica) the 200m.
Both cotintries have ac-
cepted their Games in-
vitations.

Mike Boit, of Kenya, will
be competing in Edmonton.
The 800m runner is ranked
second to Cuba's Alberto
Juantorena on world charts,
He finlehed a close second to
Juantorena over 600m at the

World Cup in Dusseldorf.

New Zealand 's Dick
Zuax, the world 5000m
recored holder, Is also a
likely starter. Quax earned a
silver medal in finishing
second to Finland's Lasse
Viren in the 500¢m in Mon-
treal, He set the new world
record to 5000, at a track
meet in Stockholm, Sweden,
last summer.
