City Hockey League competition will get underway here on Tues- day night. for their first game of the week when the Charlottetown Navy squad tangle with the Prince of Wales College Welshmen at the Forum ln a game which will either

see the Navy break their first place deadlock with S. D. U. to move into sole possession of the league leadership or be the means of P. W. C . moving ahead oi the present league leaders to take lop spot honors by a one-point margin. . . - As far as can be learned at present, this \\ill he the only City League encounter which will be played in Charlottetown this week. although the Navy are expected to play their league encounter with tlle All Stars on Summerside ice on either Thursday or Saturday night, although the exact date has not yet been decided upon by lea- gue officials. The game will con- clude the league encounters on Western Capital ice, as all play- offs are scheduled for the Forum. - - e

All City League encounters for the remainder 0i’ the regular schedule should produce really closely contested affairs with the league standing as it is to date With Navy and S.D.U. tied for first place with 10 points each and P.W.C. and Summerslde dead- locked in second place with nine points apiece, anything is liable to happen before the league winds up. although the Navy and S. D. U. squads are in the most favourable positions for two reasons. The first reason of course is the fact that they are sharing the top position, while the second one is the fact that both Navy and Saints ilave still three games to play as compared to two each for P.W.C. and All Stars. O O O The Saint Dunstalrs University pucksfers are also scheduled to get underway in their N. B.-P. E. I. intercollegiate Series with Saint Thomas University on Tuesday flight when they meet. the N. B. varsity squad at Chatham In their first nf a home and home series. with the second game taking place at the Forum on Thursday night. The series will decide the winner to meet the finalists of a home and home series between Mount Allison University and University of New Brunswick for the N. B.- P. E. I. title. ' . o e

The other two big features slated for the Forum this week will be the Queen Square School annual Ice Sports which will be present- ing u big program of top-notch speed skating competitions as well as an exhibition hoc- key encounter between the Q. S. S. pucksters and the Prince of Wales College juveniles. follow- ed by an hour of skating.

Jackie Kane's Abegwelt hockey squad Saturday night ran rough- shod over Bpringhill Miners in the last scheduled game for the local squad of tlhe Central Sec- tion, senior B League when they whipped the visitors 18 to 4 in an encounter that was just. as one-sided as the score indicates. The victory expected in all quart- ers plummetted the locals into a first place tie with the Amherst Ramblers.

Scoring within the first minute of play the Abbies ran up a 0-0 lead before the first twenty min- utes had expired; the handwrit- ing had been on the wall long before that. however. They shot. four more without a return in the middle canto to make It 13-0 and then Just coasted in the final frame as they outscored the visi- tors 5-4. a session that. saw the Miners make their best showing of the game as they finally beat the stout defence thrown up by Weeks between the Abbies’ pipes Leading the goal getting par- nde were Strain and Dowllng with four counters apiece; Downe. Sheppard. Carver and LeClalr had a brace each with Hlgson and Perry getting singletons.

Mitchell. White, Chell and Mc- Kav were the goal getters for the visitors.

In less titan ten minutes of play Abbies had a five goal lead on efforts bv Strain. Dowllne. Downe. Sheppard and lllgson while in the last: half of the session ‘Cowling and Strain came through with two apiece to boost their margin to nine.

Making a more determined bid Sprlnghill held the locals to four in the middle canto. Sheppard and Strain scoring ln the first l1a'f of the session and Carver adding a brace of tallies in the, las‘ fen minutes.

Five minutes after the start of the final period Abbies made It 75-0 an goals hv Dmvne and Perry but the tide suddenly changed in the next six as Sprinchill shot three counters Mifr-ht-‘l, White and Chell being the mrlrksmen. Bu’ the Abbies again cabled control with LeClalr sandwichinlz two
