Sport Echoes from ' Prince County

Our little note regarding the dan- S" 01' young players misrepresent- ing their ages in order to play hoo- kry in a lower age division has had some repercussions. so we lhasten t0 Edd this postggrlpt; There are two angles to this busi- ness. First. there is the possibility of a team's harboring an over-ago player on its roster with the know- ledge and convenience of tho man- agemen‘ in orderto strengthen the team. In this case the over-age player would be a star performer We have heard of suoh illegal practice but never in any on the Kinsmen minor teams in Surnimer- Side. a/nd we are confident that lihe Kinsmen organization hero would not tolerate such tactics 1m- a mcment. Secondly. there is the possibility that scme of the kids themselves, desirous of playing in a younger division where they would 8e! s larger share of puck manipulating. would misrepresent their ages in order to gain this end. In (this case the over-age per- former is invariably a poor player, and not much of a help to either ass group. ‘Hie (management sire in this case not aware of this situat- ion and stand to gain nothing by it. We wrote our little note in the hope that a more careful chock might be made for the sake od the youngsters themselves. One or two cases of the latter situation did ex- ist in one of the divisions younger than the midgets which we believe will be cleared up. We tlhlnk the thing needed to be said, and like the hysterical foolirnen who had just killed the tsp-stairs maid, we did.it, and we're glad. We had no desire to cast anynss-persions on the Summerside Kinsmen organization. however. over whose good work we have waxed enthusiastic more than once or twice.
