The time has come to quit watching
hockey games on television.
And it is not because the game has
become a fall -winter -spring sport: not
because the season seems to go on
forever and ever amen.
It is because I hate watching high -
paid clutch -and -grabbers spend most
of the time expectorating.
As a youngster, t was chastized
severely for spitting. 1 learned that
gentlemen, big or small. young or old.
do not spit, even in private. My grand-
mother, bless her big Irish heart. was
as earthy as any lady of the time but
she would not allow anyone to spit in
her presence and. I'm going back to
the days when big, brass spitoons
were in every barber shop in my
home town. per opinion was that, if
men had to spit, they should get out
of sight.
In those days. tobacco was sold by
the plug in every cigar store and
smoke shop in town. Some grecerY
stores carried chomping tobacco, too,
in big cans under the counter.
Was there an award this year for
the hockey player who generates the
most spit between the blueline and the
penalty box'. The National Hockey
League has done stupider things. Cer-
tainly. the amount of saliva generated

has increased in recent years.
Mark Messier is, unquestionably.
one of the best hockey playersin the
world but why is he trying to become
the spittingest hockey player in• the
world? Ile is first in line for sending
saliva farther through is front teeth
than any other player in the league.
Years ago, 1 quit watching baseball,
on the boob tube because fat pitchers
and even fatter managers held great
cuds in cheek and made it a point of
sending their spit, on camera, as far
as the eye could see.
Bulging cheeks and a drible of
tobacco juice does not a pretty sight
make. It is gross and unhealthy. It is
a filthy, disgusting habit and should
be banned. Can you imagine what the
floor of a major league dugout must
look like after a long ball game? 11
mustappear as though brown paint
was spilled.
Statistics in the Excited States say
that more than 10 million Americans
chomp tobacco or chew snuff. In fact.
this sick method of ingesting car-
cinogens is gaining in popularity in
America.
If the statistics don't lie. I suggest
it is the influence of these overpaid.
overgrown juveniles in baseball who
have influenced young people to use
smokeless tobacco
And now, we have it in our national
game of hockey.
Oh, yes. 1 know. Right now, it is
only saliva. Hockey players are not,
as yet, chewing tobacco. Well, give
them time. They will run out of saliva
and some superstar or. worse still,
some stick -swinging goon who thinks
he is a superstar, will begin chewing
tobacco and then every kid in Canada
will be trying to buy Navy Plug.
• Now is the time to puha stop to this
nonsense, this silly spitting habit.
• If John Ziegler and Bryan O'Neill
and the head honchos of the NIIL
want to do something good --
something great --,for hockey, they
should make it illegal for hockey
players to spit in hockey arenas ex-
cept in.dressing rooms. If they want
to mess up the locker rooms, fine, but

confine the dirty habit to where it can-
not be seen on camera in front of
millions of hockey fans.
Remember: you read it here first.
If this dirty habit is allowed to con-
tinue, it will only be a few years until
it won't .just be saliva. It will be
streams of ugly brown tobacco juice.
We will have brownlines instead of
bluelines.
Why should players' benches and
penalty boxes become huge
cuspidors, 1 ask you: why?
To allow a few pampered, high -paid
brutes to display bad manners and in-
dulge in a gross habit?
Enough. Fine them $50 and assess
the team a five-minute penalty for
spitting. That will soon put a stop to
such disgusting antics.
