Vol. 92, No. 12 Comments regarding the Flying Dutchmen have been making the air in the Kâ€"W district more than a little blue since the last playoff game, when they lost the series. There seems to be a great diverâ€" sity of opinions regard‘m%juust why and who lost the game, but all of the complainers leave no doubt that they ref\ard the game as something _ that . was poorly planned and poorly played. One lad{ pointed out that she and her husband had followed every game that the Dutchmen played in, but so far as they were concerned, they ‘had seen their last game. It was their feeling that the game the Dutchmen layed was a long way from their efforts. As a matter of fact some of the local residents who saw the game in Toronto, got so steemed up when they were deâ€" scribing it, we think they must have had some money on the Dutchmen. â€" Around W aterloo On the other hand, many of the Dutchmen‘s followers felt that the team gave all the had, but that wey just weren‘t good enough to overcome the opposition . Personally we haven‘t an opin ionâ€"we didn‘t even see the dog gone game. FREE ALR There is also a good deal o{ bad feelings as regards the way the tickets were handled for these games, with many claiming that the tickets were sold out half the time before the ordinary man on the street came to stand in line Some of those who attempted to buy tickets, point out that they were told that these tickets would not go on sale until a certain time, but that in the meantime all of the good seats were reserved over the telephone. They also claim that there was a great deal of "ticket hawking" going on during the entire season J.M.S. Well aware of what is going on the Waterloo Chamber of Com merce have sent out a circular let ter to all the merchants in Waterâ€" loo in an effort to find better ways and means of helping these merâ€" chants. In the letter they point out that more than two thirds of the moâ€" ney earned in Waterloo is being spent elsewhere, and whuile the Chamber of Commerce is willing to throw their support behind the local merchants, they feel that knowledge of the merchants attiâ€" tude and views is necessary.

They point out that the market building is the only place that they can hold a dance, but reâ€" gardless of what has been done to this building it is still a marâ€" ket building and not suitable for dancing. It is their belief that Waterloo would be much further ahead in the long run if no more money was spent on the present arena, and a suitable building was constructed for the recreation of the young people.

We think they have something. These boys, while they are young in years are looking into the fuâ€" ture. Almost any thinking citizen will realize that if ideal recreaâ€" tional facilities had existed in Toâ€" ronto, there would be no gangs of oung hoodlums running around {oose at the present time.
