out in he stands behind the Dixie bench The referees ushered the learns to their dressing rooms and tack on balance of first period play 19 seconds onto the second period The police were tailed into quell the disturbincc that where matters stood leading up to last Wednesday night game This is where Hie afore mentioned combination of what could have been a tragic incid cnt to happen It was clear to number of people the least of whom wen arena personnel thai seven George owners were at the heart of the problem on Satur day night A Dixie fan he was involved In both incidents hat shoulder a share of the blame but for most part it was local individuals who were singled out as the Prior Salurdiy night game Memorial per informed the Junior club of this and requested these people nol lie allowed entry to the game The team rents town and arena personnel arc only on hand in a supervisory capacity It is therefore responsibility to allow or bar anyone from attending games The trouble makers from Saturday were allowed in and the First mis take was made Just into the opening frame itwasnoledthalagam trout was brewing behind the Dixie bench and subsequently a call was to the police questing assistance Ten mm with the situation obviously deteriorating still no police second ill wis Then a woman id been punched in the fact and young girl hit in Ihi he id with a hockey stick The police finally a full minutes after the first call had been placed In fact of the cars hit from the ment The trouble was Ively over by the time the police arrived constable no charges would be laid Luckily of the women was seriously injured that docsn change fact that Ihey were assaulted There are some questions that must be asked because of this ugly Incident and hope fully some will be forthcoming Why did the Jun lor Club allow the kers in including the gentle man from Dixie Why did it ike police minute travel three blocks The const who received ihe first call that he told which Iht trouble and silted that police checked out the arena and onion Arena before arriving at the Memorial The person who made the ill Insists that he informed the police the trouble w the Georgetown arena
