In the June issue of the Hockey News, NHL referee-in-chief makes some statements about the of- ficiating and basically supports the referees and linesmen, Here are some of his comments: "There's a standard that we are expected to main- tain and I think the officials - both the referees and the linesmen - did an excellent job in the majority of games in maintaining that standard. In the last game there were two critical plays that have been the subject of much discussion. First, on the goal scored by Denis Potvin, I have gone over the tapes a number of times and there is no question that when the stick strikes the puck into the net, the stick is well below Potvin's shoulder, and that's the critical part of the rule. It's not where the stick starts from, it's where it makes contact with the puck. There's no question that it was below Potvin's shoulder and that was the basis on which referee Bob Myers allowed the goal to stand. Unfortunately, with respect to the off-side play, it was definitely offside. Leon Stickle has admitted that he feels extremely bad about it, it's a human error made by one of the league's top linesmen and it's just something we have to live with. The initial play with Clark Gillies going over the line was extremely close. There was another Islander player just straddling the blueline and the tapes clear- ly show Stickle following this play over the blueline and waving theplay as being o.k. I don't know what happened after that when the puck was dropped back quickly and Butch Goring brought it in. whether Leon just didn't react or see it properly, because he certainly was in the right position to see it - six to eight feet away from the play - and he said he had no excuse. He does not know why, after waving the initial play o,k., he didn't blow that one down. I thought that standard maintained throughout the finals by the three referees was good. There was a great deal of controversy with respect to the first game, the sudden-death overtime goal. There is no such thing as not calling any penalties in overtime. If that was the league policy the referee may as well stay in the dressing room and just send his linesmen out. There certainly have been penalties call- ed in overtime prior to this one, there's no question about it. I think the philosophy for third periods is the same as overtime in that the blatant foul, the obvious foul, must be called. As far as I was concerned in the playoff games that I saw, that was the situation. We had penalties occur late in the third period, obvious in- fractions that took place and were called. There's no question that we would hope that the teams will decide the outcome of the game themselves, but that certainly doesn't prevent the of- ficials from calling what is considered to be a "good penalty" or an obvious infraction. Unless it's a good penalty. the referee will not call it or will allow the flow of the play to continue. That's the main object of it, you let the flow of the play continue uninterrupted by very marginal or cheap penalties. For example, the series between Minnesota and Montreal. was supurb hockey with a minimum amount of penalties, and the flow of the game was con- tinuous. Students coming home By the way tickets have been selling for several events Saturday's Homecoming at South Huron District High School should be successful. The day starts with a pancake and sausage breakfast at the Exeter fire hall. A member of the fire department told us this week he expects his group would have five grills in action and will be ready to take care of about one thousand customers. Preparation for Homecoming started many months ago. Many hours of planning events, contac- ting former students and compiling history of the school were carried out by 25 separate committees for this special day. Many students, teachers and former students will be involved in the events. Registration and Open House starts at the school at 12 noon. Students from 1905 to 1959 will gather in the school cafeteria. 1960 to 1979 in the large gym and 1950 staff and graduates in the library. Two old-timer basketball games will be played in the afternoon with the girls going at 2:45 and the boys starting at 4 p.m. The old boys wrestling meet will be in front of the school at 3 p.m. and the old girls field hockey players will gather at the back of the school at the same time. An old timers soccer game gets underway at 4 p.m. and a football reunion will be held in the cafeteria at 4:30 p.m. Action swings to the South Huron Rec Centre in the late afternoon for a chicken barbecue from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and winds up with a dance commencing at 8:30 p.m. with "Masquerade" and "Spirit" supplying the music. Another big weekend During the same weekend the sixth annual Burgerfest Days will be held in Grand Bend sponsored by the summer resort's Chamber of Commerce. A feature of the Saturday morning activities will be bed races. One of the entries in the ladies division will be Mary Alderson's Bluewater Baby Dolls. The bed is taking shape in the back shop of the T-A this week under the direction of chief builder and mechanic Paul Leitch. Tom Creech will have the job of keeping the bed mobile during any pit stops at the Bend. The race route starts near the former Imperial Hotel and heads down Main Street around to the pier and back to the starting point, The real pressure in the race comes when the bed pushers start coming back up the hill. Good luck. girls. You will probably need it. The Dashwood Tigers gained an even split in two games this week in the Huron-Perth senior baseball league.

He gave up one run in .the sixth and two in the seventh before Bruijns came in to get the final out on a strikeout. The Tigers hit for five runs in the first inning on singles by Rob Dickey and Dave Robinson, a couple of walks and Jim Guenther's long home run.
