There won't be too
many familiar faces for
the soccer fans who go
to the indoor game with
the Whitecaps and the
Calgary Boomers on
Thursday evening at
the Coliseum, but
followers of North
Shore youth soccer will
recognize the curly
haired blond 19 year
old running from the
forward position.

Hans Granander is one of
the newcomers to. the
Whitecap ranks, and unlike

have a long term investment
in the young goal scorer.

Granander, in spite of the
fact that the 19 year old was
never . selected to any
provincial teams.

Wilson feels that his all-
round play makes the striker
“one of the best off the ball
players in Canada” and he
fully expects that after a
couple of years seasoning,
the teenager will be taking
his place with the best in the
league.

Playing in his first indoor

FORMING A TOTEM was not the object of the exercise for United States goalie Arnie Mauser on Saturday when

he tried to use Bobby Lenarduzzi tor a launching pad. Mauser and bis teammates went down to a 2-1 defeat at the
hands of Canada in the World Cup preliminary match in Vancouver. The win puts Canada in a commanding position
with only one game left against Mexico while both the US and Mexico have to play cach other twice. Two of the
three teams advance to the second round of action to be played next year. Many officials indicated the win was the

most important for any Canadian World Cup team to date. The other Canadian player in the photo ts Mike
