...interesting to players and spectators alike. Minute off sides and insignificant kicks frequently halt play in a fashion not only boring to the spectators but to the players themselves, they say. There's also no clause in the amateur code to prevent packing the defense, a practice which produces dull hockey, witness the performance of Marquette not so long ago.
