Tuesday there were over 50 reâ€" forees in attendance at the second anâ€" nual â€"conference of O.H.A. officials held at the Prince George Hotel, Toâ€" ronto. President Geo. B. McKay, of Kitchener, oecupied the chair and Secretary W. A. Hewitt elucidated the various points that came up for discussion. These points were sumâ€" marized by Secretary Hewitt as folâ€" lows :â€" It was emphasized that the referee is the representative of the O.H.A. and completely in charge of the game which he is sent to handle. O.H.A. referees have full control of players on and off the ice, goal umpires, timeâ€" keepers and the officials connected with the competing clubs, and the O. H.A. will back him to the limit in all lecitimate cirecumstances. The referees were requested to adâ€" here closely to the O.H.A. rule which allows a player to skate a teamâ€"mate onside, and not to call back the play when a player is a few feet in front of the man making the pass, but does not touch the puck before he is skated onside. It was also pointed out that a player ahead of the play when a teamâ€"mate shoots is not offside if he takes the puck after it rebounds from the goalkeeper. Players and club officials who abuse the referee vocally or personally must be reported to the association. The O.H.A. does not propose to stand for rowdyism, either from the players, those who are connected with the clubs or spectators. _ Offenders will be severely punished. Defense Area Defined Each clause of the rules was gone over carefully by Secretary Hewitt, and the referees were requested to ask questions. They were shown when a goal is a goal and when it is not. The puck must be wholly over the goal line before it can be counted as a score. There is no offside for the defendâ€" ing team inside the defense area, but on the faceâ€"offs the players must be on their own side of the puck. _ Al offside plays must be started and finished by the defending team inside the defense area, and also when the puck is kicked by a player on the deâ€" fending team it must be recovered by the same player before it has erossed the blue line. Faceâ€"offs from all offâ€" sides starting in the defense area and going outside are to take place at the blue line. t AA C “5'\ FAKRAAXLNLNZ p7 NJ * But loafing offside is not to be tolâ€" erated, and a referee is to use his own judgment as to when a man is deliberately making offside plays. IJf Defense Area Defined. Skating a Man Onsids. Loafing Not to be Tolerated. Explanation of 0. H. A. Rules Which Govern Hockey in This District. It was pointed out that the defense area had been increased from 40 feet to 60 feet in all rinks of 200 feet in length, or oneâ€"third the distance beâ€" tween the two goals when the rink is under 200 feet in length. a player persists in making offside plays he must be penalized. A point raised was whether it is offside when the player carrying the puck is blocked by the defense, but passes the rubber ahead of him and one of his teamâ€"mates who is behind him when he is blocked skates ahead and takes the puck. This was clearâ€" ly shown to be an onside, although many clubs have disputed this ruling when referees have called it such. If the player recovering the puck is aâ€" head of the player blocked, then it is an obvious offside, but not otherâ€" wise. New Hockey Rules Outlined At Meeting of O.H.A. Referees Referees were instructed to see that only those who have a right in the penalty box are allowed there. Each and every player must sign his name upon the referee‘s report. Penalty timekeepers must also keep a list O% the goals scored and ‘by whom, and these facts must be reported to the O. H.A. by the referees. Referees will be expected to penâ€" alize any player who hooks an opâ€" ponent across the body or under the arms. A player who is checking a player from behind will be permitted to hook the puckâ€"earrier‘s stick or to bear down on it with his own, but he does so at his own peril. If the stick slips up under the man‘s arms or slides up into his face he is to be sent to the penalty box. The ‘*no bodyâ€"checking on the forâ€" ward Ijne‘‘ rule was definitely defined There must be no bodyâ€"checking by the forwards at all out in the midâ€"ice section. The player must always play for the puck and not for the player. Bodyâ€"checking is permitted by all the defense players while they are within their own defense area. Dr. L. T. Brill, D.D.S.

Lose If They Refuse To Play Among the points that came up was the question of what happens if, in the case of a tie game, both teams agree not to play the full overtime period as laid down in the rules. The rules state that if one team refuses to play the extra period necessary the game will be declared a loss for that team. It was pointed out that in the event of both teams refusing to play entire time, each team \\l” have a defeat seored against it. Where There Are No Stop Watches An understanding was also reached governing the time of periods at zgames where the timekeepers are not provided with stop watches. _ Some of the referees in the past have ruled to play 23 minutes‘ straight time, the only time off being for delays due to injuries or other unforeseen causes. It was decided that all rinks be notiâ€" fied to provide stop watches for the timekeepers, but in the event that this is not done, referees should arâ€" range with timekeepers to play a strmoht 25 or 27 minutes. Delay for a Goalkeeper Another point not exactly covered by the rules is in regard to the length of time a game can be played w hll" substitutine a goalkeeper. _ In the past games have been held up while the subâ€"goaler donmed ‘his skates and the ])ddh of the goalkeeper who startâ€" edâ€"the game. It was decided to perâ€" mit a delay of ten minutes only under such â€" conditions. The question _ of allowing a goalkeeper to come back on the ice again after retiring from inâ€" juries or any other cause was also disâ€" cussed. Some of the réferees have ruled in the «past that _ further change can bhe made until the expiraâ€" tion of the period, but the rules %tdtc that a goalkeeper be allowed back : gain any time play is stopped betor the expiration of the period in which he has been forced to retire.

In regard to ths latter ease The Sioux Lookout Miner says:â€"‘‘In the fire at the store of 8. Freedman, there was damage caused to the extent of $3,000. The cause of the fire is unexplainable, but it is surmised that a spark shot from the stove and set fire to the covers on a couch directly across the room from the store. Although the loss was heavy in money, it came within an ace of being beyond money, for had not the barking of dogs attracted the atâ€" tention of Mr. Freedman to the fire, the young baby, who was asleep in the room, would have undoubtedly burned to death.
