B3-Sunday News, November 23, 1980 No matter how you look at it, it’s just too ex- pensive. The indoor soccer idea is good. It’s fun to watch, and yes, there certainly is considerable skill involved. But it just won't sell. Not at this time, in this place. A shocking nine dollars for a seat in the reds is just too pricey these days for a sport which is designed as pure and simple en- tertainment. Regardless of the skil) involved, there is no way people equate it to the A new look NorWes Caps will take to the ice tonight at the North Van Rec Centre ready to prove that they aren't as bad as the early part of their season might in- dicate. Team officials are stressing the fact that coach Jim Hall, who came in after the season began has put RARER EROLERELAG Ni outdoor game or in the same league as the NHL. And there is ng way __ in these inflationary days that a family can afford to be putting out that kind of money on too many ac- tivities.

There is also the unique situation regarding the status of the league and whether, in fact, there will be a full season. Put them all together and you come up with a tacky - situation that seems to call for a huddle of the board of directors to announce a rescheduling of prices. After all, they've already bumped up the outdoor prices, they could do themselves a good turn by together a group of young players, including heip from the New Westminster Bruins, who are ready to turn their season around. Even with the = dismal beginnings to their year, the team has stayed away from the all too prevalent ‘goon’ hockey and has_ con- centrated on developing Lea Ses some generosity at the in- door level. AND AT THE OUT. DOOR national soccer level, Canada is through to the next round, but if they continue to be told to play such* dull, defensive style, then the fans won't have to worry about booking passage to Spain in ‘82. The Canadians’ were extremely fortunate to come away with a draw in Mexico last weekend. Their style of play was absolutely dull, and dangerous. To defend in masses on the edge of the 18 yard box is tantamount to disaster. This team has the ability to go to Spain. The players, including the younger members, have the drive and aggressiveness to put on a much more entertaining and skillful a match than what we watched during many of the opening round games. There is also the foolish problems regarding players such as Bruce Wilson and Branko Segota. After such a New look NorWes Caps hang tough speed and skill. According to organizers, they are now prepared to show their stuff to the fans and the Chilliwack Colts Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. trail of words and con- fusions, one must wonder if these guys really wanted to play for Canada. Segota was late in coming and early in leaving. In fact he was playing indoor soccer at the time of last Sunday's game. And Wilson was with Cosmos all through their tour. While the administration of the national team says how they are unable to gain co-operation from the NASL or MISL, we hear nothing from the players in question. How come? While Canada does go on to the next round, their problems are far from over. And we do not mean the troubles on the field. GREY CUP OR grey cup? Sorry, but there is just no way that I can work up any enthusiasm for the exhibition taking place today in Toronto. I wish it wasn't so. For many years, my family was involved in virtually every. REAL OR UNREAL Believe or not, these are Cubic Zirconias They look and aspect. of professional football, including the Grey Cup. . But because of the total dilution of this once fine game over the years, I find no excitement, no thrill, no feelings of guilt that I am not being loyal to the cause. There is no resemblance to what we watched this year, or last year, or the year before that... and what many of us grew up with. And what is sad is that we can't be sure whether the Eskimos are a good team. The comparatives just aren't there.
