to the ice in pain and it was necessary f he plaers to half lift and half drag the injured player to the dressing room no stretcher was available the agony endured by korfar was almost unbearable but could have been greatly relieved by the use of a stretcher every arena should have this piece of first aid equipment the stouffville arena purchased one a couple of years ago and although it has been seldom used it is considered to be a very necessary piece of equipment kuom stouffville to swkdkn lyndhurst motors will make their final appearance on stouffville ice saturday night before they pack up and lake off for the olympic games in stockholm sweden gregg curries powerpacked lineup has faced the clippers on four previous occasions and has taken three of those contests stouffville is expected to be back at full strength for the encounter two of the clipper spark pings nick bangay and ronnie hell are expected to see action it is rumored that the east yorkers may be wearing their new canadian olympic uniforms which they recently acquired the line of moe galand earl clements and xormie gray will be gregg curries chief weapon against stouffville this threesome has been literally setting the league on fire in the goal scoring department but will probably be closely watched by bob bangays boys one thing ok another is it any wonder that there is a shortage of good referees over the weekend in the nhl three vicious attacks were made on two olllcials in toronto on saturday night connie smythe of the leafs and frank boucher of new york rapped referee frank udvari for killing the game by handing out too many penalties for minor infractions of the rules on sunday night bernie geoffrion of montreal and ron murphy of the rangers became embroiled in a wild stick swinging battle with the latter winding up in hospital with a fractured left cheek bone and a broken upper jaw president klrkpatrick of madison square gardens charged referee red storey with incompetent officiating here we have two separate charges against two separate officials on two successive nights for two opposite reasons smythe and boucher charge referee udvari for being too strict while kirkpatrick attacks referee storey for being too lenient an official has a written set of rules and he should not be pulled over the coals by the coaches or managers for putting these rules into force if the trend toward these rough- house tactics continue it may result in a fatality which would place a black mark both on the team involved and the league players who drop their sticks and gloves and fight it out man for man will never receive anything more than a black eye but the practice of using a stick in an axelike manner could easily have serious results this thing is not confined only to the national hockey league but is very apparent in every or ganized hockey group we had a similar exhibition in our own metro sr b group a few weeks ago every week whether in jr sr or nhl som player loses his head and another player is hospitalized the officials will have to clamp down on all rough tactics but they cant do it alone they must have the cooperation of the managers and coaches
