Mr, Editor,
Dear Sdr:—
I would like to know wlhy Clifford
are Wroxeter are playing off for tate
Bruce League finals.. When the
Brussels team defeated them Id
every game but one, and that game
didnit matter as Brussels was al-
ready in the play-offs with Ford -
with. Or was Brussels dropped out
of •the league for using players who
were not signed tip, as my son tole
me that Brussels was using players
that were not signed up, the
other teams were also doing the
sante thing.
If things are going to be allowed
to run in this manner I think the
sports pants had better stay home
and save their money.
Maybe the hockey executive can
explain it?
