Consider S'Side For Race Meet

The Victoria Driving Olub is considering an invitation to hold the inter-provincial ice r801"! meet there, it was learned last night. Summerside is reported anxious for the event, and has offered to glen: s, track on harbor ice and to put on the banquet. Two snow plow; are reported available at the Western Capital for track clear- ing.

Both Dartmouth and Halifax are anxious that the event be held, Victoria Cluib offldals said last night, and had been in com- munication with the local club by telephone recently.

Ontario, skipped by the oldest competitor of the tournament, 68- year-old Pete Gilbert of Chatham, followed up an 11-9 first-round vic- tory over Nova Scotia with a 12-9 decision over the Alberta foursome in the second draw tonight.
