penalties including six fighting majors and a misconduct Hornets had a lead with and Quote from the world of sport By Denis Gibbons Acton Sabres 7 I win over Shelburne Sunday came as no surprise to who been following the South Central O A Junior Hockey League Alter all Shelburne won a league game going Into Sunday s contest and they previously been trounced by the Sabres Most surprising thing about Sunday game was thot most of the fans were still around to watch the third period They have been there to watch a hockey game because there any hockey being ployed For all Intents and purposes the game ended at the mark of the first period That a when Gary scored to give Acton lead By that time It was obvious the visiting Bluebirds were on their way to another humiliating defeat Both teams realized it and both unfortunately decided to spend the rest of the afternoon trying to prove which had the best fighters It had been proven which had the best team although first period play could best be described as mill pond shinny I irst tile charging crosschecking and high sticking started and when referee Charlie Lennox turned his back on some obvious offences three separate fights broke out in the period The combatants had no sooner been whisked off to the sin bin three also went to their dressing rooms with game misconducts A fifth battle was halted In the early stages by alert linesmen who by that time hod plenty of practice breaking up fights What followed was a dull uninteresting period in which three players on each side tried very hard to keep the puck away from the other side and not very hard to score Meanwhile the officials and fans scratched their heads trying to figure out which one two or three of the seven eight or was it nine players in the penalty box would return to the ice next Sunday exhibition of roughhousc tactics was the latest In a that has been occurring all too frequently in the new league Sabres previqus two games with had their share of fights unnecessary roughness temper tantrums and door slamming Sabres certainly haven been the only team guilty of over zealous play All six teams have contributed to tile undesirable situation at one time or another But because the other guy doing It is never a valid reison to continue anything as nonsensical as fist fights in a hockey game Professional hockey absolute refusal to have officials clamp down on fighting his had a pretty obvious effect on players who think its the fashionable thing to get involved a scrap or two every game As recently as last week The Hockey News carried a story in which it was reported Cincinnati Swords of the American Hockey League have hired a former S Olympic boxing conch to brush up some of their players on the basics of fisticuffs Coach Joe Crozier complained that some of his larger opponents were advantage of the smaller Cincinnati players A check of the Sword roster would tell any fiveyearold the Cincinnati management would be spending their mo ey much more wisely If they purchased some hockey players And so it goes right on down the line The juniors see the pros doing it the midgets see the Juniors doing it and the bantams see the midgets doing it Saturday bantam game ended with three fights and six game suspensions The O A playoff discard list is always filled with teams who head hunted their way to group championships but were soundly trounced when they got into the provincial playoffs where the hockey was being played This year will be no exception With four games coming up against the teams that are eiht minutes to go but almost ahead of them in the standings Sabres could be looking at the part of the schedule that will make or break them Two three or four wins would likely allow them to vacate fifth place for
