The Acton Print Wednesday October and QmteA from the world of sport by DnJs Gibbons The Acton Minor Hockey will probably suggest that the executive may be jumping the gun a little by elevating Acton teams from the B population category to the A 500010000 classification as has been rumored At 5084 Acton is barely over the A series minimum and the OMHA executive uses the figures as rule of thumb only anyway Its no secret that a sign at the entrance to Fergus reported a population of 5000 for two years before the OMHA decided to raise Fergus teams a category Another example of getting around the population figures rule was reported to me by TriCounty officer Erwin Nelson of whose midget team squared off against Essex In the OMHA midget A semi finals last season According to Erwin Essex officials openly admitted they were drawing players from a regional area with an approximate population of close to even though the town of Essex Itself claims a population of only between 3 and the admission quickly revealed one good reason why Essex sent three of its four teams at least as far as the provincial semi finals In a field of over 30 teams in and produced two Ontario champions and one finalist from a similar field of teams In On the positive side a classification jump could work to Acton s advantage as far as the WaterlooWellington league Is concerned With a few exceptions teams in Fergus Orangeville and Elmira the A centres were generally not as strong as those of New Hamburg whose B clubs swept four out of five playoff series against Acton suffering their only loss in

at Maybe we should get to check the regional population of New Hamburg Its hardly fair that Legion Minor Hockey executive members should be criticized by some parents who neglected to see that their boys registered on either of the two days already passed Both registrations were well advertised in this paper and it was made dear the expected increase in players would make it necessary for the line to be drawn on registrations somewhere While many of us were comfortably watching the World color at Branch 197 last week Kerwin McPhail John and Irwin Legion minor hockey executive members were busy in another room drawing up teams work which will now undoubtedly have to be altered because the been generous enough to allow boys who missed the proudly Dennis a member of the Moffat 12 two
