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 a .xtt.. >.id.. ..�...,.�.q..�..,,.,,.Yti_, •..'1:"" rti':»t;r•:'1+.'.IrrnariiT fTM eN;l w i tlllwr 4,<k .SS athletes to place 111 ttl4t d London meet were Mark Nicholson, third in. j.uniorkuys"javelin with 9.O5m (160'11") Joan. �..ttn in in ....junior.. girls and n H g, third g.tr#s .disv'us.

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. 1,000 attend motocross races The second event of the 1)i- Jer International Motocross Series was held Sunday at Hully Gully near Varna.

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. • Gordon James Lavis, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lavis of Clinton, graduated on May 25 from Wilfrid Laurier University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and a• diploma in Business Administration.
