We concur with Bill and wonder at the lack of aggressive promotion.

It‘..is foolish to blame. the v local press for lack of cOverage on outside games; it shouldbe a league responsib- ility to get the information to the wire services. ‘7 We might add that the same fault might ,be‘fomd with the ' basketball coverage and those 'of us who follow inter- collegiate sports would ’ appreciate an jnprmrerrent in theSe fields. , We know, frat: experience, radio and television stations would be glad to announce Scores and we think' the news- - papers wOuld also cooperate if given‘information. but they should'not be, expected to get, out and dig for out—of— town scores.” “ r ' mama CORSAG‘ES AND FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS 10 A.M. - IO P.M. {MONDAY - SATURDAY .'- Charlottetown Mall 892-072'17‘. mil!
