Spectator Sport
if there were any doubts about
basketball being America's No.
3 spectator sport, such doubts
were dispelled with the recent
appearance of the 36th edition
of the Converse Basketball Year-
book. As a result of One of the
most ambitious and exhaustive
attendance studies ever made
upon the game — following a
Fear -long research on a state-
wide basis—the results indicate
that at least 142,848,698 persons
attended basketball games in the
United States during . the 1956-
17 season.
Through reports from 26 other
stations, ' this staggering figure
was increased by 15,000,000. This
global figure might have been
twice as large were any estimate
received from Canada or South
American countries, especially
Argentina where Buenos Aires
has been known to have 35,000
at a single hoop affair.
As many have averred but
never could substantiate as con-
clusively as this Converse study,
two-thirds of the United States'
basketball fans are at the high
school level. These findings are
remarkable in that they were
garnered upon a statewide basis
and agreed generally with the
100,000,000 estimate of the Na-
tional Federation of. State High
!school Athletic Associations.
Where the State of New York,
with its ,58 colleges, leads the
college field with almost 1,000,-
000 spectators, ' Indiana, with
13,500,000 spectators, is far ahead
of all the other states in high
school ranks. It is noteworthy
to point out that, 1,535,256 paid
no less than $934,022 to attend all
the Indiana high school state
tournament contests from the
start of the 762 -team marathon
Bight up to that night when
(South Bend Central High an-
nexed the title in the Butler
University field house. The
finals had all the trimmings of
a World Series as two televi-
i6ion stations and 47 radio sta-
tions carried the proceedings!
Hoosier hoopla madness is
such that in many communities
one cannot procure a season
ticket until some resident moves
out of town or passes on. In
several towns, the capacity of
the high school .gym far exceeds
the total enrollment of the stu-
dent body. For instance. Switz
City High has only 328 pupils,
yet its gym seats 4,800; Zionville
has 1,536 students, but its gym
can accommodate 3,600.
However, the prize example
is Center Grove High School,
?located in the center of a 36 -
square mile township in which
there is no community large
enough to have a post office. It
b at the crossing of two rural
highways and surrounded by
corn fields. There isn't a store
or filling station within two
renes of the school, yet its gym
seat 4,000!
Indiana is not unique for such
basketball enthusiasm. ,Ken -
cocky provided 16 teams for the
final rounds at the new Louis-
ville Fair Grounds where the
three-day jamboree attracted
109,203 customers and a box of -
,eke take of $135,836.81—more
than most colleges can realize
at home over any 5- or 10 -year
period, writes Bill Mokray in
The Christian Science Monitor.
While the average. fan con-
fines his thinking of high school
basketball strictly to boys'
teams, most schools have their
irls play preliminary to the
boys. A somewhat unique situa-
tion exists in Iowa where the
lassies stage their own state
tournament independent of the
boys. In fact, their games are
so thrilling that the finals in the
Des Moines Veterans Auditori-
um draws a turnaway audience
of 15,000 every year and drew

Lots Of Sport In Mining Town'
By H. R. CALVERT
Ed. Note: In this article Mr.
Calvert continues the story of
his visit to Lynn Lake, the new
mining community in the far
north.
I had hoped to leave Lynn
Lake with a generous number
of photographs and had been
referred to Father Lapalme, who
is not only a camera enthusiast,
but was also instrumentalntthe
he
forming of the very
Thirty -Five Millimeter Club.
Unfortunately Father Lapalme
was on vacation, but Angus Mac-
Kenzie,. President of the Cana-
dian Legion and a camera "bug,"
offered to help me out. Angus
explained that the Canadian
Legion had a membership of
ninety but were presently with-
out a meeting hall. They are
erecting a $36,000.00 building,
upon completion of which a
drive will "undoubtedly increase
our membership to over one
hundred," Angus remarked. "We
are raising f u n ds through
dances, raffles and $1,500
de-
bentures carrying4%interest.
n ard-
Volunteer labour will reduce the
actual cost to about o $21,000.000.
0.
We are using
of
planking, 4 x 6 double tongue
and groove which we feel will
preclude the necessity for spec-
ial insulation."
I was tremendously impressed
with some of the lawns and gar-
dens I saw .at Lynn Lake. On
one stroll through the town I
went to the home of the Mine
Manager, "Doc" Gallie; unfor-
tunately "Doc" was not at home,
but I took the risk of trespass-
ing and was positiely amazed
to come across a gv. at the
back of the house. This garden
was filled with the cominon
everyday varieties of+ vegetables •
such as lettuce, radishes and car-
rots, recognizable even to a city
man such as myself, and num-
erous other: vegetables as 'well,
I examined with more than ore
Binary . interest his beautiful
lawn and rock garden, and made

lawn at home in Toronto be-
cause his certainly put mine to

and beautiful.
last March 465,833-98,139 more
than took in the entire boys'.
state tourney.
There are any number of rea-
sons why basketball has grown
to such an eminent position
since the late Dr. James Nai-
smith devised the sport in 1891
to fill the void between the
football and baseball seasons.
For one thing, the sport is
very inexpensive to operate.
Uniforms—rubber-sole shoes a
pair of woolen socks, a jersey,
shirt, and shorts—for an entire
team cost just a wee bit more
than to properly outfit one
football player. In baseball a
team needs, in addition to uni-
forms, at least a half score bats,
gloves, and dozens of baseballs
to carry over an entire cam-
paign. A handful of basketballs
—especially of the new rubber
type—can last an entire season.
For another, spectators are
closer to the actual play than
they usually are in other sports,
and ' feel themselves part of the
game itself.
The policing at Lynn Lake is
by the R.C.M.P. under contract
with the local Government Dis-
trict. Corporal Nick Carter, a
firm believer in the adage "An
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure," polices with ,a
firm but fair hand. "Our citizens
are law-abiding and we have no
serious juvenile delinquency
problem. I am particularly in-
terested
nterested in our Sea Cadets. There
are thirty-two cadets at this
time between the ages of 'four-
teen and eighteen. I am proud
to have played a part in the
formation of the organization
and am Chairman of the Lynn
Lake Navy League. The officer
commanding is Mr. A. C. E.
Mitchell, the executive officer is
Mr. F. Gilbert and the gunnery
officer is Mr. B. Pearson. I feel
these men are to be commended.
for their untiring efforts on be-
half of the youth of our town."
This is, I thought, a far cry from
the very real and true problems
of juvenile delinquency in the
"civilized" towns such as .Toron-
to and Montreal.

THAT OLD PROFESSIONAL TRY—Who-Says professional athletes
ore blase individuals playing strictly for the dollar? Leon Clark
of the Los Angeles Rams would seem to refute this theory as
he gives it that old professional try In the gan'ie with the`
Detroit Lions at Los Angeles. Clark catapults through the air
in .an all.out effort to stymie Lions' quarterback Bobby Layne,
leftthey RaLms went o�n toadefeat the Des (arrow) troitclub t it eincomplete as

Ralph Mitchell, Sherritt Gor-
don's Chief Engineer, designed
the impressive Anglican Church.
Rev. Stephenson, a ,.ham radio
enthusiast, is making every x-
ef-
fort to have the church appoint-
ments
pp
meats a completely local en-
deavour. The church -itself, was
erected by the members and
Nick Repay, amateur sculptor,
has been commissioned to make
the church front from natural
rock.
Nick is one of the many Lynn
Lake hobbyists. Quite unknown
to himself, he had an inherent
ability for sculptoring. Having
some time on his hands,and
working underground, he start
ed to play around with cutting
figures in the sheer rock face,
of the drift wall near the .load-
ing pocket at .the mine. With.
encouragement from bis fellow -
workers, and using simply 'a
hammer and chisel, he now hews
from solid rock figures that
would do credit to a professional.
As a matter of fact, this . "do-it-
yourself" aptitude is most evi-
dent at Lynn Lake. Most home
owners do their own finishing
and painting, and, for that mat-
ter, many build their own homes.
The homes are attractive and
comfortable. It would be abso-
lutely impossible to duplicate
these dwellings dollarwise in
any city in Canada. I checked
the cost to the home owners in
several instances and invariably
fcund that Sherritt Gordon had
made it possible for them to se-
cure loans at an exceedingly low
interest rate. In fact, the com-
pany had done verything possi-
ble to assist the owners to whom
I talked.
Milton Koutecky has built his
own speed boat and affable Otto
Mutschel not only built his own
outboard power boat, with help
from his sons, but won first

Nearly everyone, largely, pre-
sumably, because there is no TV
and radio reception is at best
fair, has a modern Hi- + i set and
