game as It really hurts when your next game is against a tougher team How ever he was pleased with the way the boys performed Town Gents whom the Tigers defeated 124 in an earlier game this season was work ing the timer and he was tel ling the referees what penal ties to coll against us To president The matter is being brought to the league president and It is not until reports are all filed and examined that the Tigers will know whether they will have a goalie for the next three gomes Bailey Is suspended for three games as far as we know said Lalande The rules of the league clearly stale that no body contact Is allowed no slap- shots nothing that could hurt an opponent The purpose of the league is exercise fun light competition and sports manship The high sticking rules ore so stringently enforced that if a player raises his stick to celebrate a goal he will be called for a two minute minor If he does it near another player he will be called for five minutes The team drew blood from both Bailey and captain Wayne Munro and no penal ties were called No bad calls Up until this game the Tigers feel they have not had any bad calls against them Their home games are by the Acton Referees Association and The Acton rets are doing six teams and doing a good Job They started with Just two of us and the other teams wanted them doesnt want them because they call by the rules said Lalande claimed he had been talking with other teams and this team had been involved with other bad games Tie for first The Tigers going into the game had a 31 record good for a first place tic Not until the final decision about this game is reached will they know where they stand now The game might be left as is stands giving the forfeit win the decision might be reversed or the game might be replayed The Tigers three wins came at the expense of the Town Gents beaten 124 the Orongevllle doubled at and the Orangeville Chambers tripled Captain Munro has been burning up the league with his scoring having gathered points in four games to place him In with the league leaders Newcomer to the team Randy Coulson has also proved valuable notching up five goals and five assists In two games
