VANCOUVER (CP) —
Jim Robson views his latest
recognition. — that of: the
third most popular sports
personality in Vancouver —
as a sad commentary of the
city’s sporting community.

“It's a reflection of the
state of sports in town when I
finish third," said Robson, a
skinny redhead and unlikely
sports hero who is in his 11th
season as the voice of the
National Hockey League
Canucks.

A recent sports person-,
ality survey’ by The Sua
showed that Robson's pop-
ularity followed only that of
Whitecaps soccer star Carl
Valentine and Stan Smyl of
the Canucks.

How did this boy scout of
a man, a chap who insists on
saying “a special hello to
shut-ins” become the city's
leading media ‘personality?
Naturally, his motto is: Be
Prepared.

“Occasionally, somebody
wanting to get into sports
broadcasting will send me a
tape and ask me for advice,”
said Rabson. ;

“I always tell them the
first thing is to be totally
prepared when you sit in the
booth, do all the homework
you can and be ready for the
unexpected.

“You won't believe it,
but even on national broad-
casts an announcer will say,
