Taken from the Peterborough Examinor from Wed., July 30, 1958

The Ontario Lacrosse Association has suspended Benny Floyd indefinitely for
punching referee Scoop Hayes during the Petes' last home game. Floyd, it will
be remembered, had been tossed out of the game after putting the clutch on the
referee during the first period. At the end of the period, by then dressed in
street clothes and just a spector he became embroiled with the official for the
second time. The upshot of it was that Floyd leaned over the boards and closed
Hayes' right eye. Hayes retired to the dressing room, his eye dripping blood.
Later that night police reported Hayes was seeking to lay an assault charge but
could not do so because a justice of the peace was not available; it would have
to wait his return to Peterborough. Maybe he's cooled out by now on that ocunt..
Floyd, if he wishes may appeal his indefinete suspension at the next OLA committee
meeting on Aug. 7. He might do better to save the fare and invest it in a pocket
edition of "How To Win Friends and Influence People".
