' ELEVISION HAS A LARGE influence <>n our lives. Did you vet try to get a football fan to go visiting on Sunday afternoon wh<n th> pros are tearing .1 each other on the tube'.’ This mu t Ie- a fi u-t ratine task for a wist or mother. Pro football ti i - been hat< hed by the "boob'ub ’ This was just another ‘hing almost until the heavy infiu< nee <»f TV came along and ma it the number one attraction in teb vised sports. NOW SOMETHING ELSE IS going t. prosper by the home ■cii n if oui guess is right. Thi' is the spat of hockey. SEVERAL YEARS AGO THE 'g i wts int odui 'lt t h vision bx ( RS on Sa’ii’biv :ft 'in ion-. l>espite th. thrill t< the strong hoi ■ fan it didn't s< er. t catch m with tl ■ TV audience. The

all-important ratings disclosed a very small following and that, of course, was the end of that. HOWEVER. LAST YEAR. A several week series again tried the hockey bit with th«- conchi ling games of the regular season and then the Stanley (’up Playoffs. By this time hockey had grown enough in the minds of many that it was accepted. It was either this or just the fact that pro football had put such habits in the lives of sports fans that they continued their Sunday afternoon viewing out of habit alone. THERE IS QI’ITE A PARA--1« 11 in these two sp rts. First of all somewhere along the line, Ameia in sports fan- g t bloodthirsty. Pro football is the initial step. This game has grown t ■ the jbo that violence i the

most common adjective that is used to explain the game. Then, next in line comes the thrill of a wide open game. Passing is the name of the game. Running plays simply ar. used to make the passing attack that much more sui ct ssful. NOW TAKE HOCKEY. IF a< tn n is anx faster an 1 more consistent anywhere, it must be at a bowling banquet when someone yells free b. <i. And for rcughn ’nuff sai .

HOCKEY IS GROWING SO an expansion program was needed in this sport. Many thought the league was crazy when they chose to rouble their current size all at once. Whoever heard of such a thing! People marvel at the fact that the Mets and Houston both escaped the cellar In the same year, this being six years after expansion and then this year, there they are again, one two, reading from the bottom. Atlanta last year in the NFL. finished above the New York Giants and this was one of the greater accomplishments in sports since George Washington won the broad jump in the Colony track meet in the 1760‘5. THE NATIONAL HOCKEY League has < nr thing going foi them, that being Clarence Campbell, their president.

Add to this, a country full of mi-placed Frenchmen an native Canadians that "wanC t participate in sp irts and you are blessi*d with brains (Campbells) and talent (Canada’s) to make a winning combination for the good old country of Arm rica.
