-ilimes Have Changed For Once Top Notch Winnipeg

Bv .1." CK SULLIVAN Ctur:"an Press Staff Writer it wasn't too long ago that Win-

nipeg could boast and did--that it was one of tho best sports cities In the country. It was " up there in national LIIBYIIDLDDSIIIDI and it was a spawning ground for big-league stars.

Names of its native sons liter- glly sprinkled National Hockey League rosters. it produced the finest home-bred talent in the Wes ern interprovinciai Football Union and. for that matter. in the country.

Remembe when Winnipeg rac- ing fans coull so to Polo Park?

Times have changed. its junior hockey team last made the mem- orial cup final in 1951 and took a beating in four straight games mm Barrie Flyers. its Blue Bombers last challenged for the Grey Cup in 1952. Racing went out in 1956. its fine new arena is a lasing proposition.

SCHOOL FOOTBALL FOLDS

The latest blow to the city's sports prestige came this month. The seven-team high school foot- ball league, an institution since 1931 and breeding ground for IIIEIILV WIFU players, won't oper- ate this fall.

Why? Lack of funds brought on by a decline in attendance. Just eight years ago the league's 13- game schedule drew 65.000 per-

sona for an average of 5.000 a game.

News of the league foidup ans. pmod many sports officials. "i don't understand it,"

Maurice (Winnipeg ru. 12",.) Smith said that "while we know high school football has caused considerable controversy over the years and has not met with sp- proval in some quarters. one can deny that the league was one 9f the finest of its kind in Canada, in its existence there was never an injury so serious that the in- jured player did not fuuy recovu from it . . .

"it may be considered inciden- tal. but it was because of the high school league that Winnipeg pro- duced so many fine native-bred players in the past quarter of a century. Nearly every Canadian star with the Blue Bombers got

To name a few there were Bill Boivln, now Blue Bomb mana- ger. Andy Beiber. Harry Badger. Bud Irving and Kaa Vidruh. all former Bombers. Eleven players on the present Bomber team learned the game at high school.

Canada's National Winter Sport Is Booming In Europe

I By KEN METHERAL

Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON (CF)-Canada's na- fional winter sport is booming in Europe.

New artificial ice rinks are springing up on both sides of the iron curtain. as sports fans in Sweden, Finland. Germany, Swit- serland, Czechoslovakia and Rus- sia turn to hockey in Increasing numbers. -

But. ironically. the new surge of hockey interest has failed to arouse Britain, which was largely instrumental in introducing the Canadian game to Europe more than 20 years ago.

"The game is growing like wild- fire on the continent." says J. A. (Bunny) Ahearne. lite 10050! travel agent who heads the Inter- national ice Hockey Federation. ”l only wish I could say the same about my own country."

Would Widen Teachers' Course

MONCTON (CP) - A proposal that teachers be given a wider scope of training to match their more complex duties was made here Thursday by E. H. Brewer in his presential address to the New Brunswick Teacherr Assoc- iation convention.

Mr. Brewer said: "it is no long- er sufficient merely to certify the minimum standards of scholar- ships or to record the exposure of each candidate to the elemen-

tsctlca of class manage- ment." Teachers thua far have been denied the opportunity to de- velop a truly professional service.

the recent government action in abolishing entertainment tax may lead to a revival of the winter sport. A number of small clubs like Streathani and Ayr. which folded up about three years ago. are considering recntering the league.

Ahearne says that no official approach has been made to the British League by Streatham or other former members.

"But there are lots of rumors going around . Personally I wouldn't be surprised it we have six or seven teams next year."

The number of players regis- tered with the federation's various European branches is approach- ing the 500.000 mark with Czechs and Russians making up half the total. Sweden has about 50.000 re- gistered players. but the number of British rn registered players is only i. .

Growth of the sport on the con- tinent is causing problems for Britain's National Hockey Leagite. whose five teams are largely made up of Canadian players. A number of Canadians are reported to be considering switching to the continent. where aelnriea range from 85 to 40. almost double the British figure. Continental teams offer a number of addi- tlonal inducements. including tax- froe salaries and free accommoda- lion-
