When the ISHL bowed out ot Civic Stadium early in February, we thought hoe- key had sung its swan song, and we deplored the demise of Senior per 7. Prince County at early date, But Civie Stadium was far from through, Inter-scho- lastic and minor hockey mov- ed in, and although the crowds were usually smaller than in the days of the ISHL some of the hockey tussles

Striking Out

1. The writer wants to know why the matter has been so hush fush, and makes the following queries: 1. Do the referees have to make a report to the execu- tive after imposing a match pen- alty? Answer — Yes, it is our impression the referee have to make a report under such circumstances.

2. who is the report made (0? — The president of the ISHL. we believe.

Are the public notified through the press of such a re- port? Answer — Well, per- haps not the report itself, but at least the executive decision resulting from the report is usually reported in the news- papers, though this is probably not part of the regulations,

What Is Expected Of Prexy

4. If the president of the MAHA was present game at which such a hi pening occurred, what would he be expected to do? An- swer — we're not absolutely sure of this, but it is our im- pression that the MAHA president, attending a game, is merely a spectator like the rest of the fans, and has no responsibility unless and until

report of the affair reach- es him through official chan- nels,

We heard of a league pre- sident who was watching a game when a dispute arose, He decid- ed to get into it, and he was ordered from one of the team’s dressing rooms on the that he was merely a spectator and could take no action until he received a report. ‘There, maybe we didn’t hit any home runs, but at least we were lunging after the old apple and doing the best we could.
