ALLAN McEACHERN...' By AL EATON VANCOUVER (CP) If there was a Canadian award for the top sports executive of the year, Allan McEachern of Vancouver would be a leading candidate. He's the triple threat of Ca- nadian football in his capaci- ties as president of British Co- lumbia Lions, president of the Canadian Footbal] League and acting commissioner of the CFL. All of which keeps him run- ning around so much that he has lost about 20 pounds from his stocky frame. When Senator Keith Davey was fired from the $25,000-a- year job as CFL commission- er last February, McEachern, having just assumed the posi- tion of league president, was also named interim commis- sioner. It was to have been a tem- porary arrangement. Things ran smoothly under the. effi- cient gavel of the 39-year-old lawyer and when the semi-an- nual meeting was held in Re- gina in June the nine CFL teams told McEachern he could keep the job as long as he wanted. desire to be the full-time com- missioner but agreed to stay on until a suitable successor was found. It has since been decided a new commissioner won't be named until after the Grey Cup. GETS NO PAY That means McEachern will complete a full season as commissioner without pay but with plenty of work. He has answered "hundreds and hun- dreds" of letters and phone calls dealing with league busi- ness.

He has worked on the sea- son schedule--"one of the toughest. problems"--and dealt with player disputes and Grey Cup preparations. What's more, far removed from the league headquarters in Toronto, he was without a Staff of assistants and had to recruit the girls in his law of- fice. McEachern is in daily con- tact with Toronto but his job was made even tougher when the CFL's publicity director there, Fred Sgambati, quit early in the season. As Lions president, Mc- Eachern had problems on an- other front.

Then there was the firing of coach Dave Skrien and the hiring of Jim Cham- pion. And the Lions' inability to win games has made life more difficult. P There is also cause for satis- jfaction. McEachern has been leredited with improving CFL relations with the NFL and American Football League. And he obviously has the confidence of other CFL executives. DEFENDED PLAYERS McEachern, who played football at the University of British Columbia, has been associated with the Lions since the club was founded in 1954.

From its headquarters in Paris, the Federation Interna- tionale de 1|'Automobile--the ruling body of international motor sport--has given Can- ada its own dates on the For- mula 1 calendar. It's unlikely you will ever run into a Formula 1 car on the highway; these are the machines built like single-seat rockets sunk low between un- fendered wheels and designed to average more than 100 miles an hour around the few twisting road courses which can handle them. Canada had never had For- mula 1 racing until 1967 when the Canadian Automobile Sports Clubs, with the bless- ing of the FIA, borrowed a date from England's Royal Automobile Club and staged a centennial race. The FIA approved of the way things were handled and took Canada out from under the RAC's wing, giving her a separate set of racing dates and a voice in the conduct of world racing. "Now we will have the right to stage a Formula 1 Grand Prix each year," says Don Stewart, president of the CASC, "We haven't settled on a lo- cation yet, but there are only two tracks in the country which can handle such an event--Mosport outside Toron- to and le Circuit at St. Jovite, Que." CALLS FOR HELP Apart from a_ secretary, Stewart is the only full-time paid employee of CASC and now he's looking for a compe- tition manager.

The brief, drafted by Denny Veitch, president and general manager of the club, and minor football officials in B.C. argued in favor of keeping control of the Lions within the | community rather than selling it to private interests. It was | a key factor in persuading of- | ficials to keep the team publice ly_ owned. " When McEachern isn't con- | vening one of the 25 Lions ex- | ecutive meetings held each | year, he can occasionally be found in court defending one | of the team's players among his clients. That has its mo- ments, too. Such as the day he walked into a Lions press conference, looked at his head coach and said: 'I bring bad news. One of your players I was defend- ing was just sentenced to 30 budgets up to a quarter of a million dollars. You can't do that in your spare time. "Somebody will have to take charge of negotiations on interhational events, talk to the grand prix drivers' asso- ciations and manufacturers' association, get the cars back and forth--in some ways it's much like union negotia- tions." The date for the 1968 race is Sept. 22 and "'it will be about the same time each year," Stewart says. "The cars and drivers will compete in the Grand Prix of Italy, then come to Canada before going to Watkins Glen, | N.Y., and Mexico. | "This gives North America | three consecutive Grand Prix | dates." | Stewart hopes the three- | race situation will result in an | equitable division of costs. | "It cost us $60,000 just to fly | in the cars this year; we be- lieve the U.S. and Mexico will | split this with us in future." | Seen any black and white ghosts lately >?
