10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, July 20, 1967 By JAMES CONWAY LONDON (CP)--The future of Aintree racetrack, home of the Grand National, is bogged down in a political quagmire. A plan for saving the Lan- cashire track has been re- jected by the Conservatives, | who recently captured Lan- cashire county council from Labor in local government | elections. Before it was toppled, the Labor administration ap- | proved a scheme for purchas- | ing the 270-acre site from the | 75 - year - old owner, Mirabel | Topham, who intended selling | the money-losing track for housing development. Having saved the land from becoming just another district | of nearby, overcrowded Liv- | erpool, the Labor council en- | visaged a $13,500,000 sports | centre for various indoor and | outdoor sports al ide the almost certain, but @ further staging, at Aintree at least, cannot be guaranteed. This annual uncertainty about the race is compared by racing writer W. D. Tadd of The Sunday Telegraph to a prima donna who "'totters back on stage each year for yet another farewell perform- ance." Aintree's main problem nas been simply that it does not make money. Apart from the National, the track might as well not exist for the rest of the year as far as the aver- age racegoer is cancerned. The few other meets held are often poorly attended. Experts have said one un- attractive site could be im- proved by adding new stands and amenities and even closed-circuit television. Several other tracks in the racetrack. The election gave the Con- servatives the chance to veto what they called a '"'grandi- ose" plan.

Leslie Petch, manager of three tracks at York, Redcar and Catterick, thinks this ap- proach would solve Aintree's problems, providing the back- ers could be found. He suggests that part of the land be sold for housing and the resulting profit used as starting capital by a non- profit company for improv- ing the track and putting it permanently on safe ground.

But head coach Eagle Keys is keeping a cautious eye cn possible trouble spots. "It's still early in the sea- son and we don't know ail of our problems yet," says Keys, but he adds the club could have some trouble. "We haven't any glaring faults but if "there is any weakness it might be lack of height and size on our defen- sive secondary." Another trouble spot might Je the lack of "over-all depth in some positions' although this is a problem facing most Canadian football clubs, Keys Says. "If we get two or three players hurt we could be in trouble." Despite a temporary hold- out, Ron Lancaster, the 27- year-old quarterback, will be back this season. Lancaster completed 182 of 303 pass at- tempts last season..for a league record of 2,976 yards. Also returning is Hugh Campbell, offensive split end and flanker and top scorer last year with 17 touchdowns for 102 points, another league record, OFFENCE LOOKS GOOD Other outstanding offensive veterans playing again in- clude George Reed, a full- back who won the Schenley Award in 1965 for the out- Standing CFL player, and blocking is'a key component in the club's running attack.
