Honey on an assist from D. Ho-itv scored for Dartford. Some excellent goal tending by G. Summers for Colbright and; W Yarrow for Dartford made it an exciting game. Sat. Dec. 20, Warkworth is scheduled to be the opposition. Soccer in December Here it is the middle of December and they're playing soccer in Toronto. (No, mother, I haven't been working ton haidJ Before we go too far, th i first sentence should be explained ... in detail. The year 1969 is almost' at an end. The last month of the year is known as December, and this is the middle of that month. Actually, it is in the second half of the month as December has 31 days. Okay, that covers that part. "They're" is what might throw you. They is an indefinite pronoun, but not generally used in writing. Putting an apostrophe and adding the letters "re" makes it short for "they are." Clever, eh what? Now, down to the copra of the coconut, as they say in Mexico. They're, as mentioned in the first sentence, refers to ;< group of Canadians of Euro-j jan extraction. In Europe the i tost popular sport is a game called soccer. This is a sport where two teams play against each other with the main object being to knock a round ball into a large net. You loops, there go those indefinite pronouns again) can knock the ball into the net with feet, head, or any other - irt of the anatomy, excluding the hands. Soccer is often referred to as the most universally popular .sport in the world. However, it is a sport which is played out-of-doors, and the middle of December weather is not condu-sive to the sport being played with any degree of ability. $ As you are probably aware it is most difficult to even walk on ice. never mind trying to kick a round ball. Also, soccer players wear short pants, long socks and loose jerseys when they play their game. Now that we (oh, no not again) have taken five para-graphs to explain the iirst sentence, it is about time to explain how soccer is being played in Toronto. Canada, in the middle of December. Read-' ? It is' being t-d incwois. That's right, indoors. I'll bet you would never have guessed. The field is 66 yards in length and 32 yards in width. This means, mathematically, that is more than twice as lung as it is wide. Take my word for that and put your slide rules away. The goals (nets) are 18 feet wide and eight feet in height. This also means that they are more than twice as wide as they are high. It is most interesting when the referee is mentioned in the indoor rules. May I quote? Thank you. "One referee with complete authority whilst game in progress. The referee has the authority to punish any player or team, for violent or rough behavior or using abusive language, or arguing with the referee, the punishment being a free kick, penalty kick or the sending off of a player for a period of five minutes, or the duration of the game. In the event of a game misconduct the team will play without substitute for a period of five minutes after which they may replace the penalized player, the referee's judgment is final in any case on tho ('loor." To that, all ' < ,n say is: WOW! • Each team will be allowed six players per side; a goalie, two defensemen and three for-fards. Also, a change of players will be allowed. An interesting section is on fouls. There are six ways you can foul an opponent. They are: Charging dangerously, pushing dangerously, tripping, kicking (immediate five minute penalty or game misconduct), holding (this includes holding the baU against the rebound wall), handling of the ball. Nothing in the fcul rulps about punching an oppouont in the nose. Nothing about kneeing. Oh well, certain latitudes must be given, I suppose.
