in at every turn, and in addition a heavy downpour continued throughout the game. What would have been a good game turned into a pitiful display. I am fully aware that postponement of the game is at the discretion of the referee, but he is receiving financial consideration and is not concerned about the club‘s coffers or the health of the players, This should, however, be the concern of the Association, and if the secretary is appointed to decide whether or not a game should be playâ€" ed he would not be influenced by any financial loss to the referee and I know his decision would be for the good of the gamse. ‘This was one of his duties in previous years. Some will refer to Cld Country games being played in similar weather, but we are in Canada, where climatic conâ€" ditions are entirely different. Here we are playing in a league operating withâ€" I was personally satisfied that the game could not be played, but on passâ€" ing the MciIntyre park noticed it was in progress, and of course, I joined the corporal‘s guard who were there. These were the conditions under which the game was being played: Around the vicinity of the lower goal and in many spots out to thirty yards, there was at least four inches of water, the goal and penalty lines were not visible and the touch line was the same in several spots, playvers were soaked and slipping Playing on Rain â€" Soaked Field Unfair to Game and Players Soccer Fan Asâ€" serts. Protests Playing Of Game Saturday The following letter has been reâ€" ceived by The Advance in protest against the playing of soccer games under such conditions as those last Satâ€" urday afternoon when the Dome and the McIntyre met in the first league game of the season: To the Sporting Editor, Porcupine Advance, Timmins. Dear Sir: Being a strong soccer supâ€" porter, and one who had been connected with the sport for several years in this camp, I am making an appeal to the Northern Ontario Football Association, to prevent a repition of playing a game under such conditions as the one played on Saturday between Dome and Mcâ€" Intyvre. Naturally the game was not a good one. Facing such handicaps the playâ€" ers could not put forward their best efforts even if they had felt inclined to do so. It dragged and both players and spectators waited impatiently for the final whistle, Outstanding men on both teams were the goalâ€"keepers. Baxter, in the Dome goal, played an extremely good game. It was largely due to his efforts that the game ended in a scoreless tie. Brockbank, in the McIntyre goal, had only one shot to stop in the first half but in the second he managed to stave off several shots which locked as though they had "goal" tagged on them. Dick Mitcheli refer hands full. He top I mud to contend with The field was in terrible condition. The west end especially was coverea with a sheet of water and players litâ€" erally dove into it when they fell. Their uniforms were drenched and mudâ€" stained and the players of one squad could hardly be distinguished from those of the other. Penalty lines were blotted out by the water and the ball was greasy and heavy. The Dome squad fielded several new men but their performances could not be judged because of the handicap unâ€" der which they and the other team members were laboring. Kicks were short and passinzg was inaccurate due to the condition of the ball which rollâ€" ed soddenly along the ground under the impetus of a kick frocm a player. The McIntyre backs, led by Phillips. did yeoman work in staving off Dome sallies in the final half of the match. Only a corporal‘s guard of spectators braved the"Uriving rain to watch the first game of the season. By the end of the sixty minutes they, along with the players, were drenched to the skin, cold and shivering. Splashing and siiding around th> rainâ€"drenched MceIntyre field on Satâ€" urday afterntean, the Dome and the McIntyre football teams played a scoreâ€" less leagur matth to open the football season. West End Field Sheeted With Coating of Water. Baxter and Brockbank in Goals Play Outstanding Games. Mcâ€" Intyre Holds Edge on Play. Field Wet, Ball Heavy, Game Slow.

Yours for good clean sport under goo«i conditions. the players who are there quite volunâ€" tarily to give a display to the public. If I had been manager of the cluos concerned I wouki have refused to place my team on the field under such cirâ€" cumstances and I know they would have the support of those who appoint them. rooms are far removed from the field of play, where players being changed during the game are subject to the eleâ€" ments with no protection, and in this regard I noticed one of the players after a few seconds being off the field suffering severely from a chill which to any player might have fatal conseâ€" quences under such circumstances. Many repetitions of Saturday‘s game will even lessen my enthusiasm for the game and increase my syqmpathy for North Bay Nugget: Every person in the British Isles, adult and school child, should have a thorough knowâ€" ledge of Canada, its wealth, its indusâ€" try and its people.
