who coached the team for Iwo and half years before Gerry lnghsiook over this year said lhat Boyce was without doubt the inspirational loader of the team of the only who i game In mid gamo out this would beat the game nuke thai claim Is litis been or coach could count year Come hell or high who joined the Tn a i Hinder win in suffered bruised ligaments m his knee and lo leave the game j had gone into tin game with a badly sprained ankle that suffered in the in said i If wo had had more defense I men 1 would net have dressed for the game The Haiders went the game and Bovco suffered he did leave game John JtJOVCe I tried for a couple of shifts afier but then I realized it would not hold up the said is seeing a chiropractor and he said Tuesday that the leg per cent belter than it did on the weekend is hoping thai he will lie in the lineup this Fridaj when Fort Eric Mavericks come to town hoping that I can play against Mavericks I don I know the veteran said will definitely be hack in action for the game the next week is the second Haider veteran has gone down in the couple of weeks Forward Sieve suffered a ruplurcd spleen in a game in inn be the last of a dying breed amongst the Haiders Most of Ihe players on the present roster were well I Haider executive before being signed Boyce the loam several years hack when he walked into the arena and asked for a He has been with the club ever since Last was learn s captain boon after Boyce went out in there was talk that he would not be hack in Ihe lineup for quite awhile John is not an man keep down He try agunsi iheMivernksantl will have lo be in bad shape if he not dressed when the game begins Gem fan leaves Back on page four a letter to the Editor appears authored by Bill Innes In he letter Mr says that he look Ken advice and last Saturday ventured to Arena to support his Junior hockey team the Georgetown At the end of the first period of that hockey game a brow I took place on the lie and all there were few fists thrown in the stands Mr who was there with his young son said he left the game at that point as a result of the unnecessary rough play No doubt Mr Innes had good reason to leave Ihe latest rough during my weekend off so did personally witness it However after sitting through a season of Gemini hockey seen my share of at Arena It Is no means fun or entertaining to watch a bunch of teenagers trying to hurt one another The lhat took place on Saturday sound worse than mast if not that have in the recent past However it is not uncommon to see fights in Junior This year teems to be much rougher than last year with the Gems handing out and receiving many more ip shots than they did last year Perhaps it is just my imagination The Junior league hands out stiff suspensions for needless fighting but they have not seemed lo have deterred players They re still swinging slicks dropping gloves There is no one who detests that rough style of hockey more than Gem general manager Bob Tost tor one thing he thai that type of ploy needlessly prolongs games Who wants lo spend ihrec and a half hours of a night to through a filled junior hockey game lost also certainty docs not want see las best players sitting on the sidelines because they have been suspended for fighting Several Gems will miss the next couple of games as a result of what took place Saturday There is no doubt that all the people involved want to put an end to the endless fighting In Junior and have the young men play good lough hockey I would suggest to Mr Innes that he not give up on Junior hockey without Riving il another At its best it can be a very brand of lie Gems have played some Rood tough but clean hockey tins year played that way in separate contests against the and Burlington Cougars the two strongest teams in the league In both games although losing they held their own I agree wllh Ken when he says thai players look up to the standi and they become They must wonder more people are not in them More pi are not in those stands for the same Simple reason Bill Inni left them on night No one or hardly anyone is interested In seeing a couple of teenagers paste one And after another two go at it If the Gems played the style hockey hey against Hie or the Cougars every lime out I would bet my bottom dollar that there would be more people in the stands A name should not last more two and half hours hours and two hours and fifteen minutes would be Ideal The two games mentioned lasted for much longer period of lime The junior season Is not yet half over The Gems still have a chance of making I lie My advice the Gems is to pretend Hint they arc playing the ry time out They would come up with share of certainly play more liable hockey My to Ihe fans Is to give the youngsters a chance They can piny good solid hockey If they put their Ian Clark is Canadas top junior runner towns Tan Clark is best junior crosscountry runner in all of Canada Clark a grade student Georgetown district high

Indoors during the winter Jon Lancaster who had the misfortune of suffering leg cramps during the meet also had a very strong race at the Canadians coming a very respectable seven teenth Last week It

There were ap proximately runners peling and they were all lop The other two Georgetown runners competed In the juven ile class and again both fared well Fergus Barnes finished fif teenth and John
