Van- couver Whitecaps of the North American Soccer League, Preparing for the’ 1978 season, the team is on the threshold of greatness coming off its most suc- ceasful season ever in 1978. But the Whitecaps’ for- dunes were not always as rosey. When club president Herb Capozzi and a group of sports-minded businessmen formed the team in 1974 they were met with skepticism by people outside the hard-core soccer fraternity which hag. always existed in Van- eouyer, “Tell never work,” was the argument against the team. ."Only ethnic groups will attend and there are not enough of them to make it; The team’s first few years in the league nearly proved the skeptics right. So'so performances together with crowds of about 8,000 at Empire Stadium were all too common. . Then the Whitecaps made a very smart move. They convinced John Beat to give up his jo as General Manager of the successful © Seattle Sounders franchise and move to Vancouver. Since then the team’s fortunes have risen like a hot mining stock. One of Best's first moves was to hire Tony Waiters as head coach and together this shrewd pair has built and also ran into a legitimate contender. Last season thelr labora began to bear fruit. A 246 record gave the Whitecaps the best winning percentage of any pro team in B.C. in 20 years.

Best and Waiters know they can't sit still because ciher teams in the league will improve as well. But already before the New Year, they've signed two extremely outstanding players from the U.K. Beat, in fact, calls the signing of English In- ternational striker Trevor Whymark “the most significant in our history,” and he is equally delighted about newly-signed Everton usfender Roger Kenyon, A large part of the credit in signing pair, adds the Whitecaps’ General Manager, has to go to the team’s performance last Beason. Whymark and Kenyon wanted to play for the Whitecaps because of the 24- 6 record which created a lot of publicity in Britain this year, Backing this up, Best ‘gays that now U.K, teams are signing NASL players on . loan, wr apal began play, the o thee case where the team had to ‘beg’? British and European players to spend their off-season here in B.C. Times have certainly changed. As the Whitecaps ed their first season many said it couldn't be done. But now the Whitecaps are doing it and no doubt Percy Williams and Jimmy McLarnin, both original members of the British Columbia Sports Hall of Fame & Museum, would find a quiet chuckte in that. New guidelines OTTAWA - New guidelines covering the staging of major national and international amateur sport events in Canada, approved recently by the f I eabinet, call for: the organizing body requesting governmental assistance to give notice of ita intentions to the Fitness and Amateur Sport Branch of Health and Welfare Canada up to five years prior to the event, In the new ‘guldlines public, the Honourable Iona Cam- pagnolo, Minister of State, Fitness and Amateur Sport, pointed out the difficulties of the ad hoe nature of direct and indirect federal finan- cial involvement in past years, "It became increasingly clear through the years that an established procedure to obtain advance approval for federal assistance was needed,” Mrs, Campagnolo said. ‘The new set of guidelines will determine support for future major amateur sport events, consistent with the federal interest.”’ The Minister pointed out that major international and national sport events hosted in Canada would continue to become more and more a part of the Canadian mosaic and that there would be a continuing requirement for iri-level government in- volvement ‘in these ac- tivities, Advance planning, the Minister added, will provide an opportunity for thorough review, thus eliminating last minute requests and subsequent pressures. In future years, the degree at interest shown by each level of government will affect the amount of support provided by them, Under normal conditions, the federal government would strive to achieve, at the earliest possible date, a cost- sharing agreement with the provincial and municipal governments involved. Moreover, the benefits to accrue to Canada in hosting a major amateur sport event and the ability of the organizing authority to exercise proper control and accountability will be essential factors prior to a recommendation for financial support. The organizing authority will be requried to supply the federal government with data at the time nolification to substantiate these qualifications.
