Prince Rupert Daily News
Monday, Febrvary 21, 1855. -

 

 

By GEOFF AYRES

We don't mind the odd organization in town acting stupid.
Sometimes it makes news, other times its so common its not
vorth bothering about. BUT when The Dally News }s made part
and parcel cf someone's stupidity that's when we burn to a crisp.

Witness Saturday's sport page. In two places it mentions that
the city’s old-time havkethall greats would play the Booth Memo-
rial Rainmakers .... once In a story and once in a pa‘d adver-
teement which the public is led to believe are generally truthful.

On the front page is a story handed In as late as Saturday
moming, detailing the doings of high school basketball teams.
ds neglects to mention the Rainmakers, who ft turns out, Instead
of being ready to take the floor against the oldtimers, were at
that moment miles away, playing at Port Simpson,

This ust have come as a great shock to Manson's Omegas ,

who had run thems*lves {nto the ground to defeat Gordon and
Anderson in a crucial Senior B game. It must have been quite
a surprise to a few fans who on the strength of the story and
ecvertigement turned out to see the high schooolers play the
cldsters. It was even more alarming to this reporter to know
that he’d been placed by either the basketball commission or
the high schoo! in the position of publishing false information.

Jack Evans, high school basetball coach, was In the «di-
torial office just before noon, and surely wouldn’t have men-
tianed all the minor cagers without discussing the Rainmazers,
if he'd have known that they were not going to be around Satur-
day. George Brawn, president of the basketball association, acting
in good falth placed an advertisement scheduling the Rainmak-
ers against the oldiimers. If later information somewhere
throughout the high school or commission was available, a phone
call could have remedied the mistake up to 2 p.m. Saturday, even
though it would heave been Inconvenient and would have meant
changing a tory and ‘ad' already in type. Obviously someone
}-led a “hoo-boo.” '

+ + +

Where the blame lies is of not too great contequence as its
usually eaty to pick a fall guy. However, the Incident points up
the necessity tur Guser liaison between groups organizing sports
cvente.

It points cut the need for a goed publicity man... one who
can devote himself, apart from his work, to the job of gathering
the late. information and forwarding It to the paper.

% + +

Curlers, too, should becorne more publicity conscious, part!-
cularly with regard to bonspiel's out of town, The entire sports
population of Prince Rupert cannot get away to attend out-of-
town ‘splels, and the situation does not always allow this paper
to staff out-of-town events. But both we, and the sports page
readers are interested in how our city's representatives muke
out.

It is not an uncommon occurrence to be asked, "How come
you didn't have anything In the paper about Scotty Rocktassic
cntering the Mapleswiteh Bonsptel?”

The main reason nothing was said ts because we didn't know
that Scotty war entering the Mapleawitch ‘spiel and when we
were talking to Jock McSweeper, who {s Scotty's second, the day
before the rink left he never mentionea it, _

However, when rink; do take off for outside ‘spiels a word
of how they make out would be appreciated. And that means
whether they win, joe or draw, There's usually @ telegraph
office in most places holding bonsplelg and to file a wire (press
