“AS THE CFL season moves into its second half,

‘the league offices are going to: have to devote
considerably more time worrying:more about the
USFL and less about what’s going on down on the

field.

The new league is more
than just a flash in the pan as
commissioner Jack Gadaur
has intimated. Any league
which has signed a lucrative
television contract before
they even have players, and
which has set up a legalized
gambling operation will not
fail. There’s too much
money at stake.

Raiding and broken con-
tracts are just an indicator of
what's going to happen.
When the crunch comes
down, this new league could
care less about what the CFL
thinks.

But what is more da-
maging is what this could do
next year and the year after.
Recruiting for players is
going to become very ex-
pensive south of the border.
With a greater demand for
players, simple economics
indicates that the price of
such players will escalate.
And when that happens, the
same simple economics
indicate just who will be the
losers in the bidding war.

With raiding and big
dollars coming to the fore,
perhaps it’s time the CFL
started some long range

planning.
How about = spending
considerable money and

effort in Canada? How about
setting up an_ effective
development scheme north
of the 49th parallel? Does it
stil make sense for the
Canadian League to con-
tinue to send players south
right into the bidding
markets?

Now could be the time to
start turning the Canadian
Football League into a
Canadian League. Necessity
could be the mother of
invention. A _ stronger
development with the main
thrust in Canada, right down
to the local levels such as our
own G.S.L.

There's no need to
become a poor third rate
NFL which will be the
ultimate inevitability if
things don’t alter. Perhaps
the league offices could be
so radical as to investigate
the import rule in a couple of

progtam. underway, with a
view. as to putting more
Canadians on the field.

This is.not to take a rap at
the U.S. players.By and
large with few exceptions,
they have fitted in well, and
in fact, a great number of
them have stayed on to give
much needed expertise to
the league. But shouldn't
there come a time when
some thought is given to
making the league more
Canadian in its entirety?

If the move by Halifax to
join the league goes through,
couldn’t this be a trigger for
perhaps accepting more
Canadian cities?

It seems that properly
handled, the fans would
accept a more Canadian
league without too much
struggle. Once upon a time it
was, and perhaps now’s the
time to consider returning in
some form to those days.

And if it did, then all the
football teams in B.C. could
start playing on Canadian
fields with Canadian rules.
