Era Knkk Wed May Don Bernard Era Sports writer Soccer gets underway Soccer Club has Eves Real Estate wins There is a lacrosse revival of sorts taking place in this area this year A Senior A team in Aurora plus the possible beginnings of minor lacrosse in Newmarket are a testament to this Bat what is the reality of such a revival Will the interest develop in the game Nobody can answer that for sure hut there are some indications that the revival may not be sue- There was a time when this area was a hothead of lacrosse But according to people I have talked to it died a natural death a few years ago In the past few years there has virtually been no lacrosse activity here Now here are some reasons why a revival at this line might work Lacrosse itself is a fast exciting game with hard checking and fast end to end action It is much like hockey without the offside rules that hockey has There are places where lacrosse is a very big game such as in Northwest Toronto where it has grown in only a few year to be very popular And there are similar areas where it is very strong But there are some very definite indica tions that the revival in this area could be abortive In the first place there has not been here in a number of years I have talked to people involved in organizing it in the past and they feel that it will not flourish and there are some good reasons why not Firstly there is too much competition for players from other sports Soccer and base- are very popular in Newmarket with Aurora having a strong soccer league and a large soft ball program There is very little room for lacrosse in the setup where many boys are away on holidays at least part of the summer The survival of the Aurora Astros Senior A team is another question They moved into Aurora for one main reason the facilities there which are the best outside of the city The Aurora Community Centre has a seat ing capacity of people and is a very good place for a lacrosse team to play It cculd tap the whole north part of York Region as well But good facilities does not ensure good crowds at the games I have heard various figures as to what average attendance the team must have to break even It varies from to per game The Aurora did not average 1000 attendance in their past season and it is hard for me to believe that the Astros will be able to come anywhere near it The figure may be easier to average am not holding funeral services for the is yet Lacrosse itself is a fast exciting game and I personally hope that it catches in the area The Newmarket recreation department is planning a lacrosse clinic in the town in the future for boys and men who wish to learn the game The success of the clinic Kill indicate the extent of the interest in the in Newmarket Plans are being made or a mens lacrosse league which is made possible this year with concrete floor in the arena Perhaps lew facilities will help a revival take in the town Tuesday Night Ladies Harrys Honeys Ida Clark Pauline
