Plenty of Problems in West Coast Junior Hockey Circles Due Chiefly Poor Crowds But They Carry On By JIM McOURDY Canadian Press Staff Writer Vancouver, Nov, 7 (OP)---Promo- ters of Junior hockey on Canada's West. Coast are wearing long faces these days--and wit! apparent good reason, For the last three years enthusi- astic sportsmen here have dug deep to get the kids started but obstacles kept cropping up and more so this year than before, Now it's reached the point where doubts are being expressed if the coast's five.team junior set-up may survive the sea- son, Crowds, or rather, the lack of them, is the big headache, The first game in usually sports-minded Vancouver produced a meagre 300 fans, In New Westminster, they play collection-on-Sunday affairs but the amount is far from suf- ficient to meet expenses, Only in Nanaimo does the game pay, prob- ably because there is no senior hockey played. Two thousand fans turned out there last time. Two teams in the loop are home. twice | less. The University of British Col~ umbia splits its home games be- tween Vancouver and New West- minster for lack of a rink of its own, while the Victoria Club only plays on the road. The Victoria rink burned down in 1043, Johnny Olark, one time goal tender for the Vancouver Lions and Detroit Red Wings, has given freely of his time to Vancouver Juniors tary of the League, has been untiring in efforts to get the youngsters going here. In Nanaimo, Arena-Manager Nat Bevis and Dr. Larry Glovando, prominent in Western Canadian Horse Racing circles, have done a lot to help make the juniors, In New Westminster, it is such Fred toria Club is still an unknown quantity. When the question of putting forth a representative in the Me- morial Cup chase comes up, the League officials feel that they will have a club to give the Eastern teams a battle next spring.
