Faster Com - Faze Some

The 900 fans that sat in on the Montreal Canadiens Junior - P.E. I. All-Stan game Tuesday night were given a first hand glimpse of the team picked by a great number of sports viewers to walk

year. The Mnntrealers were not playing at their best. Possibly due to their well tilled Maritime play- ing schedule they were a little lethargic at times and as a result were not skating at top speed nor displaying their best form as they would in a more vital contest.

Nevertheless they were a szood bit better than the Island squad that plainly showed a lack of con- ditioning. No one expected the All- Stars to win even with the addition- Il help from the Canadiens and so few were -disappointed when they Canadians came out on top 11-1.

Despite their lack of condition- ing a few of the Island players showed up surprisingly well again- It the fast Montreal team. Don Simmons the All Star. goalie. fought off the Canadiens practically single-handed in the first period and his courageous "Horatin-At. The-Bridge” stand won a loud round of cheers from the fans. He held off the Canadiens for almost 25 minutes and when they finally scored the young Charlottetown net- minder couldn't in any conceivable way be blamed for it. He didn't stand a ghost of a chance on either of the two goals he allowed.

We thought Billy Hughes didn't look out of place in the fast com- pany either. Billy is a fast skater himself and he kept pace with the Canadiens for the best part of the game. If they were to play a re- turn game two months hence we think Billy could more than hold his own against them. George Moc- Donald on the All-Stars defence showed no fear of the hard hitting

the second period. Amherst took an early lead in the first session when Dave Kiley scored on a play with Bank Therrien.

Amherst came back in the third session with three goals but time ran out before they could fire the equalizer.

Bob Gray accounted for two of Amherrt's third period goals. Cop- per Leyte got the other. Gray's

of the game battered a few of them to the ice with solid body checks.

Paul Schurman's second-period goal was one of the weirdest we have ever seen. He shot was just a long. lazy looper from well out- side the hlueline but a defenceman reached up with his stick to knock it down and deflected it into the upper lefthand corner of the net behind Ed Johnson. He was a migh- ty surprised goalie. Johnson didnlt get much of an opportunity to dis- play his wares to the local fans. For the greater part of the game activity was in the P.E.I. zone and he didn't actually have a really tough drive to handle all night. His scariest moment, other than the goal scored against him. came when Real Trepanier drew him out and with an open corner to shoot at bounced the puck off the side of the net.

Getting back to Schurman's goal. we recall having seen a couple of others that were weird ones. About nine or ten years ago in a game between S.D.U. and the Charlotte- town L " 'cs Mousie Dowling. then playing for the Legion. shot a puck from about 60 feet out from the S.D.U. net. The puck missed the net but took ii crazy carom of the boards and shot straight up in the air to hit S.D.U. goaltender Shorty MacKinnon on the back and fall over the goal line. We recall on another ocaslon seeing Frank Maclntyre playing for S.D.U. a couple of years earlier. take a shot that was actually from over the centre ice red line. It was a high lob and the opposing goalie thinking it was going to bounce off the screen ducked. The puck went over his head and floated merrily into the net for a goal. We also remember a Canadian Press report a few years ago that told a story of a puck splitting in two when hitting the goalpost. Half of it went

Bowling still continues to dom- inate the s rting scene in Sum- merslde. bu this rather passive . to of affairs will not continue much longer. Layiih Schurmiin's Aces are looking forward to hock- ey practices to get into shape for the Island League which opens November N at the Sports Arena in Charlottetown. The November storm thwarted their plans for the first practice in Charlottetown. but they are hoping to get in a few practice sessions before they take on the Saint Dunstan's University team in the opening game of the schedule. The 1955-56 edition of the Saints is said to be reeking with the kind of talent it takes to make a bang-up hockey team. Neither team will be at its peak In this first game, but it should be none- lheless an interesting contest.

VICTORIA (CF)-Jackie Parker the man who broke last year's Grey Cup game wide open with a startling 85-yard touchdown run in the final minutes, thinks his Ed- monton Eskimos can do it again.

Parker will be calling signals for the Eskimos Saturday when they meet Montreal Alouettes at Van- couver's Empire Stadium. Esks won 26-25 last year in the final. played in Toronto.

"It's going to be another high- scoring game, I think." he said Wednesday.

"Maybe not as high as last year's but I think if we can get four touchdowns we can win it. Montreal's got (Sam) Etcheverry and we'll have to stop him. POSSESSION IMPORTANT "We'll move well along the ground but we have to keep that

throw the long pass against them because they've got that Hal Pat- ferson and if you put the ball up in the air near him. he'll go after it and take it away from you.

"They'll probably make us un- derdogs again but, in one game like our, anything can happen.”

Parker, a spindly-legged speed- ster who has to wear special boots because of a childhood injury that damaged the bones of his feet. took over the quarterback position from Bernie Faloney. who left the team at the end of last season-

He was a halfback last year when he scooped up a fumble by Montreal's Chuck Hunslnger on his own 25-yard line and went all the way for the winning touchdown.

This week coach Frank (Pop)

Ivy has had him practicing field- lgoal kicking and Parker has-shown -talent. l lvy so far has given no indica- ltion whether Parker's placement kicking has anything to-do with the fact that the Eskimos must cut two American imports for the big game.

VANCOUVER (CPl Acrey Cup fever. is malady usually confined east of the Rockies. is beginning to foam up on the west coast with all the color and confusions of a circus midway.

While it has been known since last spring that the Canadian foot ball spectacle would be played here Nov. 26. west coast fans are only now being swept up in a wave of enthusiasm unparalleled for any Canadian sports event. For instance:

TEA FOR THE ESKS

Dowagcrs in the lobby of the staid, ivy-clad Empress hotel in Victoria -where a loud hiccup was once grounds for ejection -- are officiating at the tea urn for muscular members of the Ed- monton Eskimos, who will defend their championship against Mont- real Alouettes.

People who hadnil seen a Cana- dian foolball game before two years ago are loud in their pro- tests over how the tickets are be- ing allocaled. ' Mayor Fred Hume, lung associ- ated with hockey and lacrqsse. ls- sued an appeal to all downtown Vancouver merchants to keep all the lights possible burning in their stores Thursday. Friday and Sat- urday nights. to add additional lustre to Canada's brighest lighted city.

Everyone from Montreal west is having a crack at forecasting the weather for "G-day."

Taking Mr. Donald Maclnnla. --if-appointed custodian of the cup - at his word Nomad man- ager George Scantlehury wired Mr. Maclnnls earlier in the week asking if he were ready to play

Saturday.

Mr. Maclnnls has stated time and again that the club that wants the cup will have to play Caledonias to get it. So the No- mads wired him thualy: "Are you prepared to play the Nomad football club next Saturday." As yet no answer has been re- ceived by club officials. but one is expected momentarily, either negative or affirmative.

In making the challenge the Nomads have set down four pro- visions that they want Mr. Mac-

Don Maclnnls, Caledonia man- ager termed conditions put forth in a Charlottetown challenge "rid- iculous" but added the Glace Bay club would be glad to meet No- mads "say next May 24."

"Everybody knows we have little or no grass here. Our field is and has always been a skin field. But maybe we could spread a few car- pets," he said in a telephone inter- view with The Canadian Press. Charlottetown asked for a grass- covered field. .

"As for conditions. well. they will have to play the 15-man game. Mccurdy Cup rules call for union 01' 15-ma. not Rugby League ruliejs, which allow 18 players." he an .

The Caledonia manager said the Mccurdy cup was not a challenge

P Y-

"We are willing to play them for the cup here next year. on May 34. But we are keeping the cup because we were the last team in win it under rugby union rules.

"Also I think Saint John Marin- ers were unfairly deait with a couple of weeks ago when they lost a Maritime playoff to Acadia University at Wolfville when the referee lost control of the game. Usually when an official loses con- trol because of action of the teams or fans it is the home team that suffers. not the visitors."

”We'll even give Saint .l!lllli fl crack at the cup if they want one" he said.
