SATURDAY APRIL 7 193 -EDMONTON BULLETIN PAGE 17 Welcome Home EAC- Edmonton Is Proud of You EDMONTON AC RISING RAPIDLY TO FOREFRONT GALA PARADE FOR EA SIX ON SATURDAY DYfiAMITB STARRY BROADCAST OF HOCKEY GAMES MAKES BIG HU Now Play Increasingly Important Rola in Sponsoring Numerous Teams Here The Edmonton Athletic Club which sponsored the team which Won the Edmonton Alberta British Columbia Sarkalchewan and -entire Western Canada hockey titles and which team residents will welcome home tonight as holders of the Abbott cup and runners-up to St Michael's College Toronto for the Dominion title is a comparatively new organisation and as such has not yet become generally known to the public: As a result of the hockey adivities this winter it is almost a household word throughout the country by now However since its organization In 1932 it has taken an increasingly important role in the sports life of this dty Organized In the spring of 1932 by a small group of the younger business and professional men of the dty the KAO has Very definite objectives in the sphere of athletics: Practically every one of its members are athletes themselves or closely assodated with the various branches of sport played in this counter The idea far a club of this character in Edmonton came out of a gathering of these young men who realised the city's backward state as far as athletic clubs of a sound nature were concerned Flans were laid for a comparatively small organization at first in order to ensure its stability at a time when this wu most the beginning Eric Duggan quarterback of the Eskimo senior Canadian football team became lta first president and guided its destinies through the first year of operation He was succeeded to that office by Stanley Moher amateur baseball and hockey star who recently turned professional with the Eskimos The latter is president of the dub at this time There were 35 charter members in the KAC and since the inception the membership has increased to the neighborhood of 55 Its aims are not only to provide athletes and competitions among its own members but to sponsor teams in different lines of sport in the city To date: these representatives have been confined -to- minor leagues For instance last winter the KAC started with a midget and a juvenile hockey team In the summer of 1933 a junior baseball team was sponsored followed by a junior gridiron squad in the fall With the coming of winter they rent a midget juvenile and junior team in the three leagues All of these tesms hsve been sponsored directly by subscription among elub members only No outside azslstsnce is ever soiidted or desired Whenever funds are required for equipment or other expenses of the different squads moneys are forthcoming from members who care to contribute Thus little financial responsibility is carried by the Edmonton AC itself which assists greatly in keeping it always on a sound basis: Nor do members thus contributing funds profit thereby Such moneys as they advance for this purpose are returned but any surpluses achieved are turned over to the club proper for the specified use of promoting and sponsoring teams The whole organization has been patterned along the lines of Montreal Amateur Athletic Association Toronto Granite Club Washington Athletic Club and the like With its membership covering a wide field of athletic endeavor the KAC is fortunately situated in Edmonton Athletic Club Arrives 8:40 and Will Be Received With Hearty Welcome Wlial is confidently expected to It one of largest most spontaneous
