How- ever, a letter of import dealing with basketball has arrived in town and deserves mention. It also calls for a little speedy action, It’s from owner-coach Abe Saperstein of the Harlem Globetrotiers, The letter was scent to Booth Memorial High School and handed over to Fred Jones, general-secretary of the Civie Centre, _ Sum and substance of Abe's missive is (hat the Globetrotters, current holders of the Seventh Annual World Series of basket- ball championship trophy, plan a repeat trip to Japan, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand and Hawall. “Hn zoure to Alaska and Japan,” says Abe, “we have drawn up a rough schedule of selected stopovers, Recalling our visit to your immediate sector about five years ago, it is our hope that we could show our group to your sports public along about Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 1, 2 and 3, 1956 With the Globetrotters will be travelling what Mr. Saper- stein calls “ene of the finest programs of variety oyerainment ever “offered your section... six to seven topflight acts. . ‘two-in-one’ sports spectacle.” For thls Abe mentions.a nominal guarantee with a percentage arrangement. ‘To us this is strictly a Civic Centre deal, After last winter's ghastly basketball season, immedliate plans should be made to ensure that the Globetrotters re-visit here and also that it will be a successful venture. We can think of several steps to be taken at the earliest possible moment. Firstly: ’ The present luckless and bankrupt Prince Rupert Basketball -association should immediately place it dealings and its $200 worth of deb!s in the hands of the Civic Centre. Then it should quietly. fold its tents, and join the Arabs. The absorbtlon of a $200 deficit by the Civie Centre should not hurt operations one wit since the Civic Centre executive was quite willing to drop $1,000 for the sake of culture in the form of The Alaska Music Trail this winter, This was done, we are told, so that a minority wasn't overlooked. Well, if ever there was a minority, It was the. paying. customers at the league basketball games ‘this past season. Secondly; ‘ ‘ It was strongly recommended in the Civie Centre Com. “mission report. that the Centre have a strong basketball pro- gram, Therefore the Civic Centre association should call a meeting with the managers and ‘coarhs of existing or prospective basketball teams to decide what ts going to be done about ' basketball next year. Particular emphasis should be & placed on ine future of senior basketball, _ Thirdly: . “The Prince Rupert system whereby a little clique of players get together and pick a coach should be reversed, The coaches should. sit down, with the Civic Centre sports committee, and for the‘ benefit of basketball in this city, choose players from a pool, Yes, just like Little League, They should try to line up as yenly a balanced league as possible with the hope that some good, wide-onen cage games will result. This tight, defensive ‘basketball with a minimum of shooting, that has: featured the past two seasons has been enough to put the average fan to sleep. What, few fans there were, that is. ~ Oh, you-say — that won’t work! Grown men won't be chosen and assigned. to teams and still play their best. Knowing the senior basketball fraternity here, we are inclined to agrce, but did it work the dther way? Did it work when the pick of Manson’s joined with the best of Gordon: Anish; ferson to form the Challengers and only played a “abe games all winter? “Nobody wants to play us,” they whined half-way through the feason. Why snoula anyone want to knowing they were going to be shellacked? Who's kidding who? However, these are just thoughts for the hign and the mighty to kick around. The main thing is that the Civic Centre assoc- jation should make sure that a good senior basketball team is ready for the Globetrotters in November. Besides the best in . basketball, Abe promises {hat we'll get a “topflight” variety show thrown in ag well folks, Maybe even Trades and Laber _ Council members will attend. * + tp -POST SCRIPTS: what with the sudden change in the weather and the poles-apart competition provided in the Senior Men's.
