Pride Carried Price Tag THE GRAND SLAM Olympucks Paid Public's Bill Ii The Average Canadian (whoever he Is, with his 1.8 cars, .62 houses, 3.4 children, 1.6 wives, 1.3 languages and 1.9 heads) was as proud as punch with his Olympic hockey team last month. Don't trust those statistics, for I couldn't rouse a. soul at the Dominion Bureau of Statistics last night, so made 'em up. enough for university and talented enough to play Olympic hockey, won't suffer in such fashion. The answer, to me, seems simple.

If Canadians wish to be proud of future Olympic teams, which must at this point be amateur and able to take the oath, they should also be prepared to pay the price of that pride. Paying the price on an Individual basis is not feasible. That is what has been wrong with the financing of Canadian Olympic teams. The CAHA and assorted kind-hearted organizations and dividuals were left with too much of the burden. The sensible way for all Canadians to share in the price of proper representation Is for the federal government to finance the entire scheme.

This would make it possible to renew scholarships wrecked by worthy students eager to do their Olympic bit for the nation, renew them so tht students could catch up on their lost study time in the university year following the Olympics. It became obvious last night why the Eskimos didn't close the deal with Neill Armstrong, of Houston, or Rogers Lehew, of the Stampeders. The reason the football coaching derby is once again a real race is Joe Restic, a 37-year-old ex-NFL pro with Canadian coaching experience, who showed up in town yesterday at the urging of President Walter Sprague. They met in New York a week and a half back and Sprague, rightly, figured the" directors should take a look at Joe. Restic has and it shows all over the drive of a football fanatic, something neither Armstrong nor Lehew made plain in their every action and word.

Like Sonny Grandelius, who couldn't come to terms with the Esks, this man has the equipment to change the Eskimo "image" something most fans say they want done overnight. But do trust the sentiment, that the Average Canadian tired of being asked to be proud only of Canuck punching ability in World and Olympic hockey for a decade was suddenly and strangely proud to find that a hockey team could give him such gentlemanly representation in Europe. Father David Bauer's Olympics didn't win on the ice at Innsbruck, Austria they finished third and were placed fourth on a last-minute vote but they were winners in the deportment department. The team Father Bauer assembled at the University of British Columbia consisted not only of gentlemen and scholars, it turns out, but also martyrs. The details are on Page One.

Still, It is gratifying to hear men the stamp of Art Potter, Canadian Amateur Hockey Association president, and Father Bauer say they'll take steps to make certain future amateurs, who are smart Sports Editor He's a zealot and wants Western Curlers Beat Code Of Ethics Issue everyone within hearing to know. Ask him the weather and somehow he turns it into football talk, or ask how his wife is and almost immediately he's telling you about some player prospect the Esks should look into.

CHARLOTTETOWN (CP) An Eastern move to impose "professional" tag on premier Canadian curling talent failed before Western unity today. A snap vote of 24 to 19 with five abstentions tabled the Code of Ethics motion at the Dominion Curling Association's annual meeting today. Westerners were against the introduction of a professional curling category in Canada and against the proposed Code for two maior reasons: That it Who knows, he may be back shortly after he leaves for To Try TSeiv Role home tonight.
