Probably the two most diseussed or 'cussed' men after Saturday night's game with Kincardine were the two referees from Owen Sound, {'; Coming on the heels of the Clinton RCAF 'hockey team's withdrawal frpm further competition following a game which was handled by these sance,Te- forces, it seems that there is a need for some changes in the WOAA refeeee- lag set-up. We all realize that it is not the easiest job in the world; to referee a play-off game, but on the other hand, that is what the, hdYs in the white sweaters are paid for, The two play-off games that we have seen here with Kincardine were hampered by the same thing - too many cheap penalties. It is no doubt a great temptatioin for a referee to start throwinig the book for any minor infraction but it doesn't make for good hockey. Last Saturday night 19 pen- alties were handed out and the referee still didn't have things under con- trol. Three ten-minute misconduct penalties were called, two on the same Kincardine player, Zold, Furthermore, these two officials refused to listen to the captains of the teams on several occasions. At 18.52 of the last period with the score at 6-5 for Kincardine and the puck around the Kincardine net, Roy Wilson was given a two-minute pen- alty for slashing and any chance of a Mohawk tie went out the window. It Was a questionable decision in the first place and at that time hardly a wise one. CLINTON WITHDRAWAL- The following information with regard to Clinton RCAF withdrawal from the WOAA was gleaned from the pages of the Clinton News-Record: "Clinton RCAF hockey team has been withdrawn from further compe- tition in the Western Ontario Athletic Association Intermediate A series. "The team was engaged in a hest two-in-three group semi-final series with Kincardine, The first game ended in an 8-8 tie. But it was in the sec- ond game at Kincardine Thursday evening last that the real fireworks took place. "On that occasion the management of the RCAF team became so in- censed with the conduct of the two referees, both hailing from Owen Sound, who, the RCAF said, called a long string of penalties without providing any explanation-that the team was taken from the ice shortly after the com- mencement of the second period. Although the team returned to the ice later, the referees already had forfeited the match to Kincardine. The score stood at $-3 at the time. WOAA DECISION- "The 1,V.O.A.A. executive met in Wingham Sunday afternoon to try to iron out the matter, and after hearing the evidence, the decision was to have the Thursday game at Kincardine counted a win for Kincardine and order the RCAF team to play hack in Kincardine on Monday evening, the "gate" to be split. If Kincardine won this game, the series would have bean over, but if the RCAF won, it would have been tied. "Rather than accept the decision of the executive at the Sunday meeting, the RCAF management advised Hugh R. Havel:ins, Clinton, president of the WOAA, by telephone Monday morning of the withdrawal of the team. This later was confirmed by letter dated February 13, addressed to the president and signed by T.R.N. Duff, for Commanding Officer, RCAF Station Clinton," This letter is printed elsewhere in our columns. The.

The largest crowd of the season, estimated at 1200 filled the arena to near capacity. The Wingham team looked like shades of their former selves and were outclassed by Kincardine all the way. Roy Wilson and Johnny Crew- son, who was playing with a broken nose, were obviously having an Off- night, Feelings ran high all through the game and at least three miscon- ducts were handed' out. The referee- ing brought complaints from both sides. Ted English and Jack Pym sparked the Mohawks. Pym scored two goals and along with George Westlake broke up a great many Kincardine attacks. Roy Wilson scored twice and Ted English once, to complete the Wingbam counters. With the score at 6-5 for the oppos- ition a penalty to Wilson at 18.52 for slashing probably cost Winghanr the chance to tie it up. Coach Roy Bon- ner pulled Sangster out of goal for the last minute of play and C. Wilson gained possession of the puck in Mo- hawk territory to bang a tally into the empty net. The win give the Lakesiders, a two- to-one lead in the series. First Period Wingham, Wilson, (Hilbert) 16,05; Wingham, English (Westlake) 17.23; Kincardine, J. McDonald (C.

REPORTS INCREASE IN PHONES While total revenues of The. Bell Telephone Company of Canada were substantially higher during 1951, so were taxes, wages and other expens- es, according to the company's 72nd. annual report issued Feb. 14th. Revenues totalled $160,781,058, of, which nearly half-$78,066,254-was paid out in wages. The total taxes levied on the company amounted to $22,693,000, equivalent to $2.91 per share of stock or $12.69 per telephone. The company expended $72,600,000 in 1951 for new construction to im- prove and extend its facilities throuhgout Ontario and Quebec, which increased its total investment in plant to $582,048,747. In all, 113,424 telephones were added during the year, bringing the total number in service to 1,839,750 but leaving 76,000 unfilled orders at the year-end due to lack of facilities. Commenting on this aspect of the report D. A. MacArthur, Bell man- ager for this region, said that 22 tele- phones were added in Wingham dur- ing 1951, bringing the total to 1331. Other highlights of the report: net income for the year amounted to $2.08 per share, compared with $1.53 in 1950; earnings were sufficient to pay the usual $2 dividend, but failed by a wide margin to provide an ap- propriate addition to surplus; the daily average of local calls increased by 5.8 per cent; the volume of long distance calls was up 8 per cent; the number of employees at the year-end number of employees at the year-end was 30,292, of whom 19,368 were wo- men; shareholders increased to a re- record total of 83,551, of whom 97.8 per cent holding 87.3 per cent of the stock reside in Canada.

Born in Wingham, Jack has been playing hockey locally from the time he first joined the bantam ranks. s, While attending Pickering College, he played hockey as well as football and basketball. Jack also played hockey for Beal Tech in London. About four years ago he started play- ing Intermediate and this year join- ed the Mohawk club. One of the top scorers on the town basketball team, Jack helped that team win their group championship. Single, he is a foreman at C. Lloyd and Son Ltd., here. juveniles Take First Playoff Game 9=6 Stainton Spitfires looked like a dif- ferent team last Wednesday night when they skated circles around an off-balance, Arthur team and tallied nine goals to Arthur's six. The improvement in all depart- ments of the Spitfire's game was really noticeable. Skating faster and checking closer than their opponents, the Wingham Juveniles were a sharp looking team on the ice. The line of Lott, Thompson and Anderson accounted for five of the tallies. It was a toss-up whether Thompson or Lott was the most out- standing player on the ice. Thompson scored four goals and for a little guy he was a hustler. Bud Lott consist- ently outskated the Arthur forwards and carried the puck in on goal. He earned three assists and was the sparkplug for the team. Ron Murray in goal played his usual cool game and had things well in hand except for a three in a row rally by Arthur in the third period. Stewart Nimmo on defence showed a great improvement and was in- strumental in breaking up many Ar- thur rushes. Chittick was either the hard luck boy or the bad boy of the drama, drawing four penalties, while protesting his innocence. Right be- hind him was Murray Gerrie with three trips to the lock-up. Wingham drew nine penalties to Arthur's three. Despite the penalties, Murray 'Gerrie played a driving game as did Neil Stain ton who was the main penalty killer for the Spitfires. On the critical side, the many pen- alties which the Juveniles draw could cost them the series. They are lucky to have players like Neil Stainton, Bud Lott and Doug Hutton who can kill off a penalty by ragging the puck or taking it down to the opposition territory, Several times, the Spits were playing three men against five and only the drive and hard work of the men on the ice prevented tallies.

Mohawks Take First Play=off Game 7=5 Over 800 Wingham and Kincardine fans were treated to the best exhibi- tion of hockey in town this season, when • the Mohawks won their first playoff game. against Kincardine Gaels 7-5, Tuesday night last week, It was good hockey all the way, in a fast, action-packed game which saw 18 penalties handed out. Wingham Mohawks looked like a champion- ship team with every player giving out with his best. It would be a hard job to pick out any one star player. The scoring was handled by three players, Wilson, Crewson and Eng- lish. Roy Wilson performed the hat trick with .three, Crewson and Eng- lish each getting two. Bob Sangster was terrific. The young net minder came out of his net time and again to stop what look- ed like sure fire goals. The Kincar- dine goalie, Piatowski also was hot, at one time stopping a barrage of seven shots, one after the other.. Penalties were the order of the game and practically everyone on both ends made the trip to the sin bin at least once. The referees had a tough time of it, with a very partisan crowd riding their every move and the fast pace keeping them on their toes every minute. Several brawls threatened to break out at different times hut the participants were promptly cooled off with trips to the penalty box. Both teams did a good job of kill- ing off penalties but tops in that department for the Mohawks were Wilson, Westlake, Pym and Lock- ridge. Defensively Pym and Westlake were hard to beat. Underwood and Hilbert also earned an E for special effort, Injuries were sustained by Johnny Brent who suffered a pain- fully bruised thumb and Johnny Crewson who was slashed across the nose. About the only place the locals need sharpening up is in the passing department. Kincardine promises to make this an action filled playoff series.

Basketball Team Meets RCAF Squad The town basketball team under Coach Bill Conran. came up against sharp shooting Clinton RCAF team at the air force station last Wednes- day night and ended up on the short end of a 41-32 score. Hampered by a lack of substitutes the Wingham squad was still leading by a 17-15 margin at half time, but couldn't maintain the pace., A large number of thb personnel on the stat- ion watched the game, which was a crowd pleaser all the way. As usual, 'veteran' Bob Ferguson paced the locals by racking up 14 points ,Jerry Higenell netted five foul shots in a row, which with two bas- kets gave, him a tally of nine points. Best for Clinton was Wiper with 10 points. CLINTON-Wiper 10, Cairns 7, Kinloek 4, Villanov, Loisis 6, McAn- drew 7, Woodriff 5, Senior, Chevis, McKenzie 2, Fagan, Humphreys.

Each team has won one game a piece and this should be an excit- ing basketball match, Mohawks Tie Series At Two Games Each Fourteen hundred and four fans jammed the Kincardine ice emporium to watch the Wingham Mohawks fight desparately back to down Kin- cardine 9-7 and tie the series two games each. Coach Roy Bonner predicted that his boys would go out and get an early lead, which they did, leading 5-1 at the end of the first period and at one time in the second frame, the locals had• a five goal lead. Jack Pym who has been going at a terrific clip since Saturday's game netted three tallies. Johnny Crewson playing with a busted nose and Geb- hart both scored twice. Roy Wilson netted the clincher at 16.15 of the 3rd when the Kincardiners were fighting back strongly and Wingham was trying to protect a one goal lead. A rabid crowd of Kincardine fans had little to cheer about as the Mo- hawks took command from the first and it wasn't until the last period that the issue was in doubt, The locals showed up well during the game with the exception of the last period when they tried to pro- tect their lead which didn't make for very good hockey. C. Wilson was top scorer for Kin-. , car with ree goals. u s an - ing for Wingham were Crewson, Pym, Westlake, and Gebhart.
