Last Sonday evening I attended a meeting held to
enlighten the people of
Ross1and as to what they can
look for in this year's edition
of the Warriors.
CJairman for the meeting
was Jim Markle, who has been
the Warrior manager for some
time now. He was Oanked by
last year's coach Doug Buhr
and bis assistant, Tim Steinke,
also present was a third
member of last year's staff,
Doug Hinton.
Markle opened the meeting
by saying that the goal of this
year's executive ls to try to
put the team back on the road
up after last year's rather
disastrous campaign. He cited
figures comparing last year's
expenditures and a iroJected
wdget for the coming season,
and gave us an idea of special
projects in mind with which it
ls hoped t.o double the nonhockey revenue.
He told of putting ads in
papers in Eastern Canada and
the U.S. and bas already had
iromises frcm two boys in
Bay City, Mich. and one from
Rochester, N.Y. These boys
will not be able to work up
here because of the law, but
some thought bas been given
to the possibility of getting
them jobs in Northport. 'Ibis

that stage yet.
The second speaker was
Doug Buhr who said be felt
this season he was more
prepared to do the job of
coaching the Warriors than be

he is looking forward to the
challenge the job offers.
He stated that a form letter
will be sent to selected boys,
both team members from a

year ago and prospective
additions, inviting them to
attend a dry-land training
camp scheduled to start Sept.
8.

He stressed that the letter

will be an invitation only and
will in no way be a promise to

more interested people who
turned out, for their attendance.
Jim Markle gave an outline
of the projects be bas in mind
to raise non-hockey revenue.
There will be raffles of a
barbecue grill, conducted at
the Fall Fair, and possibly two
others during the season, the
kind to which Rossland fans
are accustomed. Tim Steinke
and John McMasters will be
looking after these and will
recruit more help as needed.
