Exceeding all expectations the track and field meet held under the auspices of the Department of Physical Fitness proved an un- qualified sllccess Saturday after- noon and with the many fine per- formances staged by the athletes present this brand of athletics, after being in the d-oldrums ever slnce- the old Abegweit Grounds went into disuse, received an im- petus that will carry it back to its former popularity within a very few years.

There were hordes of past ath- letic greats present at the event Saturday afternoon all keenly in- terested in it and all passing a- long glowing praise for the ability of the boys taking part, boys who showed promise of future athletic greatness and boys whose interest is now whetted to a considerable extent by the success attending their efforts.

Around the jumping pits and field events were Premier J. Wal- ter Jones, Big Jim Pendergast, stars of ‘past years in events of this nature. Watching the sprint- ers and middle distance men were Lt. Col. D. A. MacKlnnon. Sammy Doyle_, and others whose names we cannot now recall but all giv- ing- out words of advice and en- couragement to the new crop of future track and field stars.

Then there was Billy I-Ialpenny. Canadian Olympic representative around I912 and at that time one of the worlds greatest jumpers. Naturally Bill, gradually recover- ing from a serious attack of ill- ness, was to be found mostly at the jumping pits. Bill was im- pressed by the performances of the athletes. participating with only a limited training swsion be- hind them but showing definite signs of developing into top notch performers.

In official capacities and all keenly interested were also T. W. L. Prowse, Dick Purcell. Art Camp- bell, Lou Campbell. former Abeg- weit. all-round track star, Art Gaudet. Byron Brown, and George Francis, bike riders of other days and many others all showing on- thusiasm for the preformances be- ing turned in.

It was a representative attend- ance of former greats and stars in the~ making. Any doubt as to the Island still being able to pro- duce athletic stars were laid to rest. Many perhaps were still in the awkward stage but that_ is understandable and all that is needed is experienced coaching and that is very plentiful Judging by some of the spectators/that were on parade Saturday.

And with additional work on the field being contemplated for this fall. come next spring the young- sters athletically inclined will have a field second to none to work out over. As we said before it has been a. long. difficult task to get it to its present fine condition and it is a tribute to Col. W. W. Reid together with the others re- sponsible for its construction.

"B18 Boy" Peterson puts his Island heavyweight title on the block at the Forum tonight when he meets Jinx Jenkins in a. 1o- round scrap that is creating a lot of interest among fight followers throughout the Province.

Reason for the intense interest is the fact that in a previous en- counter this same pair of willing leather pushers battled to a draw In 8- 1011311. mauiing encounter and both came out of the scrap with the feeling tha-t they had been more or less "robbed." Since that time the same feeling has persisted and tonight both young. stcrs will attempt to settle the matter once and for all.

It should be a whale of a scrap. Both willing mixers and able to hand it out and take it, there shouldn't be a dull moment from the opening bell on and the cash customers should witness a gruel- ling struggle all the way in the heavy going that is expected to develop.

1i- IS likely that Peterson will enter the ring a slight favorite over his opponent but the dope-

sters’ way of figuring will mean .

little to each other once they start tossing leather in each oth- er's direction and that should be somewhere around i0 p.m. tonight.

The popular Bud Lund, one of the most crowd pleasing fighters to appear on the fight horizon in some time. meets smooth boxing Tiger Steele in what should be a top-notch semi-final. Steele, just as clever a youngster as can bc found around here, is expected to give the fast. sharp hitting Lund quite an argument and if he should be able to come through with a victory over’ Hickey Nick- ersonls protege, will definitely have fought his way out of the preliminary class and should be witnessed in main events there- after.

However, he will have a job on his hands. Lund. despite a couple ‘of setbacks at the hands of top- ranking Maritime lightweights has shown steady improvement in ev- ery appearance and will go all out at the opening gong to chalk up a quick victory if that is pos- sible. Steele's followers, however, feel that their man's undoubted boxing skill will prove to be the deciding factor in the scrap.

Two Bennies. Matheson and McKinnon tangle in the main pre- llminary and this should be a terrific struggle. Matheson. a de- vastating puncher. has proven to be a popular performer in other bouts at the Forum; he loves to mix things and with McKinnon in the same frame of mind fans

should witness a realistic "pier six" brawl. Two other preliminaries round

out the promising looking all- loeal card. The first fighters will be called to the ring at 9 p.m. and fans are reminded that the ad- vance sale of tickets will get un- derway at the Forum oifice this morning at 10 o'clock sharp. '
