Organize In A Financing Ama
B! JIM PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer .l-EDMONTON tCPl-One of the blunt hurdles facing amateur athletes for years has been the task of obtaining money to defray etpenses. A group of sportsmen here have done something to
lower the hurdle.
They established the sports-
men's Fund Incorporated. a body with these objectives. y "To raise maintain and admin- ister funds for the benefit of ath- letes. athletic organizations and teams in Northern Alberta who have. by their own initiative. proven themselves worthy of fi- nancial assistance in order to pro- ceed farther In their chosen field of athletic endeavor."
The idea arose from conversa- tions concerning ways and means of raising funds for athletes from the area going to Olympic trials in various parts of Canada. and par- ticularly on means of getting 83- 500 earmarked as the districts quota to the Canadian Olympic fund.
ARDENT SUPPORTERS
A suggestion to establish a spe- cial fund resulted in formation last fall of the Sportsmenis Fund Inc. R. A. tBobi Bradburn was named president. Dr. Rupert Clare was chosen vlce-president, with Joseph H. Shoctor secretary. and R. H. LeMasurler treasurer. All are ardent sports followers and successful businessmen. who have been tapped often by indi- vidual athletes for financial sup-
port.
To get a bank account. the fund sponsored a car bingo that raised 815.000. it immediately put up the 83.500 for the Edmonton district contribution to the Olympic fund.
Since then. eight other awards nearly 35.000 have been made to bringing the total output so far to deserving individual athletes from Northern Alberta.
The fund Intended to maintain its bank balance through sale of

Bradburn says the idea in work- ing out well except that it has had a number of bumps in forming terms of reference under which to operate.

OTTAWA ICPI-eThe Russians. who expect Cuchoslovakia to be their main competition in the world ice hockey championships now under way in Moscow. have a tailored version for Canada's non-panici ion in the series.
Canada last year lost the cham- pionship to the Russians at Cor- tina d'Ampezw. ltaly. site of the winer Olympic games. The Cana- dian Amateur Hockey Association last November cancelled arrange- ments to challenge the Russians at Moscow.
