Confirming the scoop story
carried by the New Canadian
some two months ago, Pete
Winckler, manager of the
Dominion Champions, the
Weserns Basketball Team has
just announced their plans to
visit Japan on a Barnstorming
tour.
They will leave June 21st on
the Hikawa Maru and will be
the guests or tne All-Japan
Basketball Association during
their two months stay there.
They are scheduled to play
against the more important Uni­
versities of Japan as well as ex­
hibition matches in the larger
cities of Tokio, Osaka and Kobe.
There is a possibility that they
might leave on May 30 on the
Hikawa Maru, if plans now
being arranged in Japan call for
a longer stay.
Below are two exclusive inter­
views given to the New Canadian
by Pete Winckler and Mr. Y. Oka,
of the Japanese Consolate who
was instrumental in bringing
about this tour.

The reorganization of the As­
sociation was the result of a
“Zadankai” held to discuss this
problem and to devise means to
establish greater unity within the
community.
A special .committee of six
undertook a membership drive.
The result was an unparalled
situation in the entire history
of the Japanese in Victoria.
Without exception every Issei
