WHITBY FREE PRESS, THUR.-;AY MAY 10, 1973, PAGE il j B B I dj SPORTORIA L On Fni. May 4, 1 took rny family to the Brooklir Arena to watch the B & R Transporters take on the Oakviile Cornets in a Jun- ior "B" lacrosse exhibition game. It was a fast, exciting * game right from the open- mng face-off, with the B & R*s showing fantastic Sp. the Transporters are stoc- ked with a lot of fine yo 'ig (aient. Goaltenders Paul Bo- land and Tony Cannella made a number of real good save% on hard shots froni close in. Both goal- tenders picked up one as- sist each in the il-5 win. One thing that really botbered me duning this game wa sthe very incon. sistent officiating. The off iciais, both local fel- lows, seemed to forget what the rules were made for. One of the B & R players, during a stoppage in play, walked over to the Oakville bench where it iooked as though he was going to have a chat with the visiting club's tramner. instead, he have him a good bard push for no apparent reason. After domng tbis, he walked back across the floor and took a couple of real cheap shots at some of the Oak- ville piayers. After get- ting about two feet in in front ot one of the smaller Oakviile players, he wheeled around anc gave bum what is common- iy caiied the "sucker shot". A bard swat ir the nose wben you are not expecting it would floor the biggest of men, let alone a smail one. For ail this, he received a 5 minute major penalty for fighting, while others received game miscond- ucts. One of the B iýR players to receive a gaie misconduct was Russ Ar- buekie, who stepped <nil on the floor after everv- SOFI CLUB This year the Whitby Intenmediate Softbail Club wili be playing in the Osh- awa City and District Soft- bal League "A" Division.

He k did flot take part in this t battie in anyway whatso- ever How does a player who cornes off the bench 1 after order bas been res- tored rate such a severe penalty, wben the fellow * that went out of his way * to. get it started oniy re- k ceived a figbting major? * Did the referee overlook some of these dispiays of * poor sportsmanship be- cause he knows the player? Another cail that the officiais made that left a lot of doubt as to their abiiity was when a piayer froni Oakville reached out over the penalty box and interfered witb a Whitby player wbo was leading a rush on the Oakville net. This player was ai- ready serving a minor pen- alty when he decided to take part in the play froni the penalty box. For bis efforts, the officiais gave him il additional minor penalty for interference. Why dîd he flot receive a game misconduct? No sport deserves tbis kind of inconsistency in officiais.
