Referee helps United
in London and District
Second Division soccer action
at the weekend, Clinton
travelled to London White
Eagles and were defeated by a
5-1 score.
The above score might
suggest that the Clinton team
was overrun by a far superior
team, but this was not the case.
The Clinton boys were the
victims of the most
disgracefully biased and un-
warranted display of officiating
that this writer has ever had
the misfortune to witness.
For reasons known only to
himself, the referee penalized
Clinton at every turn, com-
pletely shackling the players
and destroying what ever self-
confidence they had acquired.
This unjustified action also
ruined what would have been a
really good game between two
evenly matched teams.
As it was, the five White
Eagles goals were "gifts" -
three coming from free kicks
inside the 18 yard line when no
apparent fouls had been
committed - the fourth goal was
scored with two White Eagle
'players obviously (to everyone
except the referee) offside and
the fifth from a penalty shot.
White Eagles were also
awarded another penalty shot
which John Mummersteeg
saved.
This report does not intend to
detract from the ability of the
White Eagles team. On the
day's showing by the Clinton
team White Eagles deserved to
win, but given a more com-
petent referee, Clinton would
most definitely have given a
better account of themselves.
The lone Clinton goal was
scored by newcomer Steve
Adair who played well despite

win over- Clinton
being constantly whistled
down.
With five minutes'•left in the
game, the "fiasco" reached a
climax when Randy Millar and
Ray Kennedy were thrown out
for "ungentlemanly conduct."
This would appear to have
been the final straw in a
completely frustrating and
disappointing game, but
Clinton did not .give up. They
struggled valiantly to the final
whistle with only nine men.
It was somewhat en-
couraging at the end of the
game, to have several players
and officials of the White
Eagles Club come over to
apologize for the referee's
conduct.
The teams however, have no
choice of referees, having to
take whom ever the league
appoints.

with excitement.
The finals in the Di-Jer Series
will be June 8th. The Western
Ontario Motocross School is
scheduled for this Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, May 30 -
June 1.
It is rather disconcerting to
pay large entry fees into a
leage only to find incompetence
such as this in officiating.
It is hoped something can be
done about it promptly to
correct the situation so that it
does not happen again.
Clinton play again this
Saturday at the arena with
game time at 5 p.m. against
London Hungarians.
Let's see some support for
your local soccer team at this
game.

another eco-
' nomic shock? Total

can grow your own fruits an.d
vegetables! Fresh -from -the -gar-
den goodness no store can match.
Hundreds of dollars worth, even
on "room -size'. garden plots!
And here's the payoff: What you
save over a year in store-bought
p.roduce tan pay for the tiller. So
you're actually money ahead after
the first growing season And. of
course, that same Gilson tiller- will
serve you a lifetime oL growing

and built to last Nobody builds
tillers exactly like Gilson Theirs
