A Canadian Press surhey a few days ago showed that 211 Amer- icans. give or take a couple. have already been signed to flex their muxcles in tryout camps for the nine head coaches of Canada's big league teams-four in the East and five in the West-this summer. That works out at about 23 VI Americans a club.

Then, let's be conservative and estimate the cost of importing one American for a loo-see is 01.- 000. It isn't hard to understand that the total cost of simply trans- porting import.s for tryouts could be 3250.000 or more.

That's a fancy price to pay to watch players get in condition by lugging. kicking and throwing footballs in the hope 'they'll be signed for the season. One-half of 'lhe quarter-million dollars can be counted as lost because more than 100 Americans are destined for shipment home before the season

There's no denying the Amer- icans have made the pro game business in Canada. They've added color to it. They've filled

diuma from Va is-c o u V er to Montreal and they've made the game spectacular in many ways

Additionally. they've made thd lot of Canadian players much better financially. With the high cost of imports, the Canadian no longer plays for chicken feed. sv PLUS CANDIDATES

But the fan who pays up to 33.50 a seat could be excused if he wondered why. for lnst.':nI- British Columbia Lions would need to import 31 Americans for their training camp. That's nearly three times the American quota allowed each team.

Maybe the Lions. undoubtedly the richest club in the country. shpuld learn from Edmonton Es- kimos. Coach Pop Ivy never has at training camp and his Eskimos have won the Grey Cup three years running.

This year Ivy has lined up only 2) Americans so far. Hamilton Tiger - Cats anll Winnipeg Blue Bombers also will have 3) while Saskatchewan lloughriders and Calgary Stampeders will have Ii imports in camp-
