Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - February 21, 1967, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press tuesday. February 21. 1967 develop advises soccer Ireat. Mie Stion meantime Matthews is by Carl Mollins London Stanley Matthews soccer Maestro with transatlantic experience says the big time game is As far away from North America As the youngster booting a Ball around the Corner Sand lot is from world class soccer stardom. In other words promoters trying to transplant top soc cer Competition full blown from Europe should prepare instead for Long haul promo Tion based on developing local Talent from boyhood up. The first thing they be got to do is get first class Matthews said in a Telephone interview from Stoke on Trent where he manages port Vale of the English league s fourth Divi Sion. That is the most important thing. Then they need to develop players to stimulate interest among Young people. In can Ada i saw some signs that the game is becoming More popular in the schools. In the United states i Don t Matthews 52, was emphatic on one won t get first class players from Here on a permanent basis with or without the Sanction of fifa soccer s International govern ing body. The National professional soccer league opening this Spring in nine . Cities and Toronto without fifa sanctions is counting mainly on spite a fifa warning of life suspension from the rest of the soccer playing world. The rival North american soccer league fifa approved is starting up with a summer schedule featuring borrowed overseas teams. Matthews the former Blackpool wizard who has played Many times in North America including two sum Mer seasons in 1961 and 1962 for Toronto City of the Eastern Canadian professional soccer league said the Promise of Swanky conditions and sound salaries will not lure top players to North America. That s a mat thews said. A Good player Here gets 100 quid a week plus big sighing on fees and foreign players recruited de my by Alex Weir bonuses if he s with a Good team he can make More Bonus Money playing in the european cup and those other Matthews might have added that top players who Are at least Hometown heroes if not National or International celebrities would become Vir Tual entities beside base Ball hockey or North Ameri can football stars on the other Side of the Atlantic. A salary of a week is Worth considerably More Here especially in centres outside Lon Don than the equivalent in Canadian funds in Vancou ver or Toronto. As for joining the outlawed Why would a first class player Trade that for a Good life Here and face sus pension for life especially when he is taking a Gamble that the league is going to last Over Matthews said about 30 players who have signed on with the Nusl were having holding their jobs Here the new league might get men from the third or fourth division of the eng Lish league but probably few promising Young players even there. Asked How he would advise a promising Young English player with a Chance to play in North America Matthews replied if the offer was under fifa rules and it was a Good contract i suppose it might be Worth a Young Chap taking a Chance. But the question probably would t arise be cause if he was really promis ing he d be making Good Money Here and would t he tempted to Matthews who quit full time playing two years ago but still plays exhibitions said he had to turn Down an offer to play in Winnipeg next summer because of commit ments in Zambia and Kenya. He said he has received coaching or management of fers connected with either of the two new North american leagues. What would he do if he did receive an offer i Don t know whether i d go or not. It would depend for a Start on whether the Price was meantime Matthews is concentrating on a youth develop ment program at port Vale a club Halfway up the 24-team fourth division table a Region where other clubs Are involved in a struggle for Finan Cial survival. We can mat thews said. I be been Here 18 months. They asked me 18 months ago would i help. I said but we be got to Start with Young boys. We must have a foundation. It will take time but the pro Gram is in the Matthews View. It is the kind of plied that North America must adopt if that continent Ever wants More than third or fourth rate imported soccer on a permanent basis. Two weeks ago we mentioned Bill Krinick Sinamea and offered the opinion that Bill was Over 50, and might be As old As Stan Leonard of Vancouver who is closer to 55 than 50. Max a letter that he played Junior hockey with Bill for five years and that he could not be Over 43 As Max misfit Bill hit the longest Ball Ever witnessed in the old Alphonsus grounds in East Kildonan clean Over the Church in Centre Field Over 400 feet and he was Only 15 at the might get a kick out of this. It seems Long years ago since he was known As the wild Man of the National hockey league so there might he an excuse for making such anyway Bis Golf game is improving each year and he is still Colt Ettac m the toughest Way to make living in the whole Bill however Sticks pretty close to Home in the summer time in the Tate of Massachusetts where he has a first class professional record extending Over the last decade. Thanks for your letter Maxy Ken Venturi had a funny game in the Shell wonderful world of Golf recently. He could not get going and his putts simply would not drop. We thought he was on the Point of blowing up when he found himself four strokes Down with four holes to play. When he holed a Long putt for an Eagle three at the 15th, the complexion of the match dramatically changed. And at the 18th his opponent found himself faced with a five foot putt to Calgary Montreal in Trade win or to miss and receive Only the putt dropped and he was relieved but it does show that in the medal game things can change quickly. You must never give up. In a Friendly game i am sure Venturi would have thrown up his hands at the 14th Hole or he May have played the remaining holes double or there is a lot of genuine Golf lessons to learn from the television series that Are shown during the weekends. Many Young dedicated golfers can pick up a lot of tips that they can try during the season. It should be really Worth while for those who Are watching to to improve their and eager games.

Now again allowing for a sympathetic one Day Layover we resume elimination on a Best of seven basis March 26 because saturday night is nil night on if All games were played at one Centre the final round could possibly be Over april 2, a sunday. Finally if any of the players Are still standing after their three week ordeal they May take a two Day rest and head for course set Over perfect conditions such As several teams not asking for Home games injuries most series ending in minimum games and boys being allowed away from school. One solution would be to Cut the league schedule off at the end of february. The Western Canada senior Loop did so Over the weekend to accommodate Caha playoff dates. This would also ruin races for coring Hon ors and the goal ending Crown even though runaways now. But More important the cancellation of games would Hurt the present Battle Between warriors and Selkirk who Are tied for the final playoff berth.
