SPORTSMANSHIP? There were several disappointed policemen in town OD Wednesday night when the Grey -Bruce Police. Association's annual Bantam Hock- ey tournament fizzled out like a wet firecracker, • • • Play went on all the previous Saturday and OD Wednesday even- ing the teams which had emerged at the top f.the heap gathered at•the Wingham arena for the plaY-downs ani • the final game .for the trdpify.. In this important encounter .the teams from Shallow Lake and 'Mild- may squared off and actually played one period which left the Mildmay. boys ahead on a 1-.0 score, At that point a protest was lodged because Shallow Lake was believed to 10,:ve players 011 the ice who were nOt sign- ed up with their own team. for this season. After an unrestrained argu- ment the game was called off and. the whole tournament flopped' flat on its face. We don't intend toga into all the details about who was right and Who was wrong. 'The one glaring factor was that it was a rotten dermin- stration .of the thing that minor hockey is suppoSed to teach --,== good . sport sm a n ip. The members of the police, associ- ation had spent weeks preparing -the tournament and the managementof the teams certainly didn't show any gratitude by permitting • such.- a graceless finale.
