The last Instance - of this phenomena occurred 49 years - ago 38 HOCKEY --The most mi,s-managed ;ams .of so-called hockey, that has. ever been witnessed in Exeter was the :game of Thur sday evening between :lits:. Craig and Exeter. We do not know his name and goodness knows we do not want to know it, as he will surely never attempt to referee en - other game—but he was the oiggest faro.: that ever handled a bell. There can be no. charge of unfairness against him, because he simply let both •ides do as they liked, and both sides did just that and then some. Slugging, trip- ping about four-fifths of the offsid- es and everything else event without a player being pat on the bench. Had the referee stepped the nonsense in the start a good game would have re- sulted. Punishment is the only thing to stop dirty hockey, but the referee lid not know the word. They say he :s a decent fellow off the ice, eco; it .so• that is where he should stay. However Ailsa. Craig iscn the game and deserved to, as they oa*-playad their opponents. The score was ,-2. The game was played in three parts aml a: the end of each 20 ni:nutes the score was 2-1; 4-1; 5-2. A gaol Crowe of fans was present, eat they d:, not like the uncontrolled game, and a hockey player is a fool ;0 play such a game. In disgust the :•ame stop:ned a few minutes before time was up Earl Southcott gat a cut cn the face with the puck which. needed a doctor's attention. Parkhill bays seam to have got pret ty sore because of their defeat here two, weeks ago. Their report to the Gazette, which appeared last week was pretty much of a lite. Their hot air about the fans is only rot. and there was nothing tough about the game because the referee, kept it well in hand all the way- through. But this is what the Parkhill Gazette says, judge. for yourselves.—Before the Parkhill team got on the ice, the Ex- eter crowd was hurling, abusive tang - uage at them and, begging the Exeter team to beat them up. The Parkhill team took no aoticet a` this at first, but when' Exeter boys starte 1 mixing it up, the boys saw that is was uta to them to take the Dirty- work and say, •nothing. The Exeter team put up just about th c dirtiest exhibition of hockey uos- sible Slashing, tripping, hammering in fact anything .short of murder was include( in their style of play. It was easily seen that they were bound to win • the game if they had. to ;ay •rut all the opposing team. Same of our boys tired sof .this anel bega i to do a little rough stuff there• selves, and you: should have heard the aloe t thirsty yell of the fans whet Pete Hawkey tripped an• Exeter mat Tho' game ended 5-3 in favor o' Exeter and the crowd went home sat• sate with their slugging pets.
