SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1960 ONTARIO TODAY Big leaguers setting a poor example, If they don't, St. Mike's doesn't want them, Once last season, Dave Keon, a star player and potential Maple Leaf performer, received a misconduct penalty for swearing at a referee, even though the cuss word he chose wasn't in the same league as some of those selected by the rival Toronto Marlboro juniors and heard all over a four-fifths empty rink, Anyway, Keon was called to a meeting with the school's principal to discuss the matter, He was informed that nothing of the kind must happen again and was instructed to apogolize to the referee concerned, If hockey is a key force in the Canadian 'way of life and if, through its influence on youngsters, it can improve that way of life, it's our notion that the executive and the coaches of every junior club could well adopt the St. Mike's attitude, This is not to suggest that a bunch of Little Lord Fauntleroys ought to represent Guelph and Cornwall and Timmins and all of the other cities and towns in On- tario where youngsters are playing hockey.

He threw aside his stick and gloves, turned on Hollettjand gave him a lacing, After that, the assassins left Apps alone, He'd made. his point -- the hard way. If he wr: ever again in a brawl, no one remembers it. And, by hum, we wish this country's kids would follow his example. Apps dind't need cuss-words, ADAMS DOS AGAIN!
