In fact we're disgusted. We're not mad because we got shifted out of the corner to the left. We're not peeved because our round-robin predictions were 100 per cent correct, nor because it seems that Henry McLemore in the Vancouver Province and yours truly seem to have the same column titles. We're mad because two incidents that took place In the Civic Centre last night during and after the final game of the night, between Bo-Me-Ili Rainmakers and Gordon and Andersons. First somebody showed ignorance and bad manners on spitting on the Civic Centre floor. Secondly because a basketball commissioner forgot himself and allowed his emotions to sway him to the point that he betrayed his trust as a member of a high school with 8 und Kupe Holkestad scored 8 points to lead G & A.

M.T" 1 I M For this spitting incident there is no excuse. Whether committed by a youngster or a high school student, as was alleged by the referees, paying for one's ticket doesn't entitle a spectator to direct dirty habits at an official in charge of a game. Boos, jeers and cutting remarks, the referees tolerate but spitting, thrown bottles, profanity directed directly at them they do not have to take in any sport. Last night, with a predominantly high school crowd booing decisions against the high school and cheering those against Gordon and Anderson, and with players' tempers short, referees Fred Calderone and Ole Slatta had their hands full. Both teams were deathly determined to win and did all they legally could to accomplish just that. They also did as much illegally as they could without being caught. If they did get caught, well that was that We saw plenty of fouls that weren't caught and possibly there were some that weren't justified. Okay, referees can't see them all. Sometimes they see a foul start and never completed. Other times they see only the tag end of a foul. They can only call on what they see actually happen, not what they think happened, just what they see. And that's what they do, what they're paid for and what they take abuse for. No wonder, they ponder if it's worth it. Turning to basketball Commissioner "Slim" Davidson, we'll make no reference to the fact that he's a teacher, a coach of basketball teams expected to instill good sportsmanship in his teams. He was In attendance last night as a spectator and as a member of the Prince Rupert basketball commission. On the commission he is the high school's representative, appointed to see that high school players and teams in the city's leagues get a fair deal. In other words he's a part of an august body that Is above petty beefs, favoritism or personal feelings towards any team in the league. Very well. So he sees the high school team being "done wrong." So he believes that a referee is favoring another team and over-penalizing the high school. The place to take his protests is to his own commission, the group of judges or officials ' elected to rule on such matters. What he is not expected to do i? to button-hoie referees in public or vent his rage on them in the lobby of the Civic Centre in front of the departing crowd. It urged members not to overexert themselves and suggested the "second-si ringers' take the ice as the club didn't need to send In top players againpt Gyros . . . The fact that there were several new players (new to the enmei is being used now as an excuse by the Rotarians for their double loss. On one team skinped by 'hard luck loser' Peter Bird, were Jack Mussallem, Bert Field and newcomer Charlie Roberts . . . Rumor says Charlie was wearing new shoes and couldn't bend enough . . . the fact that the Gvro quartet under skip Al Miller scored a six and a five-entlcr didn't enter into the discussion. With Al were Dom Dominate, Alf Rivett and F.mil Blain, the bowler turned curler. Ken Robertson, the former Winnipeg hotshot, led his Gvrn team to a 10-7 victory over Bill McAra's Rotarians . . . but in this game also the official final score is something of a question mark . . some of the Rotary crew believe the score was 9 to 4 and another said it was 11 to S. It was just superior play as far as the Robertson crew were concerned and jeweller George Cook, who'd never curled before, was one of the members of the winning squad. Also helninp' out were Hec McDonald and Cliff Ham . . . The hardy Rotarians who lost with skin Bill McAara were Johnny McLcod, Art Nickerson and Art Osilvie ... it is report '' h in, .-m. JlSW' .....

Let's get the tournament finished anyway before such incidents completely wreck basketball in Prince Rupert . . . Question of the week: Where di'd Bill Sunbcr? suddenly pick up those wonderful hook shots? . . . Denny Scherk, nursing a badly broken nose says he's lucky he didn't lose an eye at Metlakatla. He was banged against a bolt in the stage at the end of the Metlakatla gym.
