The first came at 2:42 ivhen Szivoie opened the scoring when he banged onc tiast Weeks on a passing play with Soucie inside the blueline, while Landry scored the second at 3:543 un a nice passing play with I.

Despite their five-goal deficit, the Charlottetown Abbies made a remarkably good showing against the smooth skating band of saint John Beavers at the Forum on Wednesday night. with Dowling. Carver and LeClair in particular looking very impressive at times in smart passing attacks. which kept the Mainland goalie ever on . the alert.

O O O Although the Mainlanders dis- played a superior quality in indivi- dual ability and well-organized team play particularily on their inside-the-blucline system of at- tack, the local boys nevertheless did some nice back-skating as a whole, and were the means of breaking many of the Beavers forward attacks that might have paid off with additional scoring. u o -

Abbie Weeks also turned in a good performance in the nets for the local squad, and in his cool, unhurried manner, outmanoeuver- ed a number of solo rushes and close-in Beaver attacks that had all the earmarks of goal getting efforts.

The Charlottetown Reece hoop- stcrs are certainly proving them- selves a tower of strength in Isl- and Physical Fitness Basketball League competition this year. Taking the S. D. U. quint-ette in- to camp for the second time in a row in a league fixture at the P. W. C. Auditorium Wednesday. the Reccc squad ran up their sixth straight victory to go undefeated so far this season.

O O

The win by no means discredits the ability of the Varsity hoopsters however, who have been playing smart ball this season. They T9311)’ made the going tough for the Reece iii the second half but. although slightly outpointing t-licm. were unable tocvcrcome the scvcn- point majority Reeve had built up in the first frame. O O O

On the same night two other League encounters were 11in off at. the Summerside airport, which saw the Summerside Schurmairs come through with their first wvin of the season at the expense of the P. W. C. hootpsters and lift themselves out of the cellar posit- .loii 1n the League standing, by downing the Coliegians on a 41- 36 count. The R.C.A.F. squad, the other Western Capital league entry. also improved their standing in the league race by handing out a 49-31 defeat to Ray's Millionaires to move into a third place lie with S.D.U.

Rccce, leading the league race by :1 full six points over their near- csl; competitors, Ray's Millionaires. are scttliig a terrific pace for the rest of the League. and it the other entries are planning on con- testing them for that position they will ccrtainly have to turn on the pressure soon. ‘The next games in the series will be played on thr- . P. W. C. floor on Saturday night . when S. D, U. meets P. W. C. and Reccc plays Ray's.

The following is some recent comments made by Jim (Globe and Mail) Coleman, which should he of interest to Island hockey fans, consenting Ray Getliffe. who was a member of the famous Stratford Linc vvitiuDcsilcts and Brenneman which starred for the Charlottetown Abegwcits in the days of Big Four competition here: Ray Cletlitfc, n neophyte National Hockey League referee has all but been hanged in effigy by indignant Torontonians since Saturday night's hockey game he- tween the Maple Leafs and the Detxoit Red Wings. The disgruntled Torontonlans have charged Get- ilffe with judicial inconsistency, mopery, gawk and a score of lesser crimes. One frothlng citizen has been unkind enough to recall that, Getllffe's active playing-career with Montreal Cariadiens was termin- ated because he was alleged to be afflicted with falling eyesight. _

O O

"Whatever else may be said of Getllffeb officiating on Saturday night, he is an honest referee who suffers only from the fact that he isn't equipped with eyes in the back of his head. A referee has two choices in modern. halter- skclter hockey: (a) He can follow the puck-carrier. (b) He can supervise the frequent’ brawls which are taking place at the other end of the‘ rink.

O

"1n other wordl, this goofy hoc- key hll ruched the stage where it la necessary to have two referees tn handle all the elbowing, slush- lng, boarding and holding that o'c- curs during the 60 minutes of play. Binco no one has asked thl bureau for advice, we will m" that the game can be improved by: (1) Illlmlnnting the Md Line at centre ice. (2) Going buck to the old lyltem of Two Ileflrlll. (3) Removing the llnclmen horn the ice and piecing them in rot! mil at the two Blue 14ml.

Rain Threatens Snowshoe Meet At Montreal

MONTREAL. Jan. 2'! —- (CP) — Just when everybody was catching the spirit of a monster internat- ional snowshoe convention colorfully - garbed early arrivals were pouring into the city, the weather man turned a baleful eye on it all tonight and predicted rain.

He got; in his scorching "much milder“ lick about the very hour three hardy snowshoe veterans were trekking into the city after days of travel.

The welcoming delegations gath- ered in their brightly - colored blanket garb, with matching tuque. a throw-back to Quebec's old days of the gallant Voyageurs.

Rain or snow, upward of 50,000.

clubs and competitors are expect- ed in Montreal for the gala event.

First arrival of the three long- distance Lrekkers was Joe Michaud. rugged veteran in his 40s. who clattered into headquarters after snotvshoeiiig 183 miles from Quebec City.

A fctv hours later. in come a much younger pair from Lewistori. Mo, Arthur Llzotte and Gerard Isevesque. They had tough going for much of their trip of nearly 300 miles because of lack of snow. They stayed over a couple of days in Granby, 50 miles ffom Montreal. because of Lizottefls blisters-d feet.

Each club in both the Canadian and American Snowshoeing Unions had its own color combinations for their flaming dress. The Cana- dian Unloii has 50 clubs averaging 6t) members each. The American Union. with the most enthusiastic clubs centered in the northern New England slates, has 40 listed clubs and a total of about 2,500 mem- hers.

"Certainly. Getliffe had a bad night on Saturday! He'll have more of ‘em, too. King Clancy had bad nights. and the same can be laid of Bill Chadwick, Georges Gravel and any other man who is charged with the task'of offlciatin] tn I professional hockey game.

O O O

“In our book, Clancy bu fewer bad nights than any of ‘em. ‘Phat we suggest, is due to the fact that he is an old hockey player who knows the circumstances under which a perlptrlng athlete feels impelled to throw l punch. If Clancy turns in time to lee n leaf taking a. whack lt n Red Wing, he assumes that the Red Wing must luive done something. too -- he penalize: bpth men.

O

"That, of course, isn't officiat- ing strictly on the letter of the law. Nonetheless. it ll seldom that. either man argues with much eon- vlction when Clancy impolel those double penalties."

Sport Echoes From i

Prince Bounty

i

It was definitely "Summer-side Night" at the R.C.A.F'.. basketball court Wednesday night. For the first time this season, the two Summerside entries in the "Physi- cal Fitness" League swept the double bill, the RC.A.F.. qulntette ln-irirbllng Ray's Millionaires, to make it. a game apiece betzween these two clubs, and Schuirnarrs broke into the win column after four straight defeats, taking the measure of Prince of Wales Col- lege boys who still have to win their first game. With S/L Gilles- pie not available for the referee- lng job, the games were a bit rougher than who). he handles the whistle, but nobody was hurt, and we suspect the fans have no ser- ious objection to a little bodily contact once in a while.

I O O

Pete Mlckus had another of his good games. Mlckua never seems to get into the free-for-all scram- bles, bllt is Johnny on the spot when the ball is passed I70 him while in scoring position. He has one of the prettiest shots in the League. Carson, never far f“)!!! the top, tied Mickus for scoring honors. The big fellow does a lot of valuable blocking, besides be- ing high in the scoring summar- ics,

I O O O

Bob Bayne did not really get- s0- Ing until the second half, when he leg: the snipers on each side. Like arson, Bayne‘s value to a team is never fully recorded in the box score. He sets up a l0! 0f plays by (‘mely and accuratfi passing. Freddie Foy is showing s lot of improvement in the hoop game, Sure-fingered, Freddie picks up a lot of balls which are bounc- trig around loose in "No Man's Land." '

O o O Linklettcr ‘and Smith are 1m‘ the mainstays of the Schurman outfit. but. the reserves are com- ing along fast. Manager ESISY seemed to liaVc the ‘right. idea when lie decided to rive the "@- ond-strlng line a 1on3" Um)? P“ the floor. They took the first f.ve minutes of the game Wednesday night, against, the Welshman, and the score was only 1° 1° 3 "aim" them "when they were called out.

O O I

We were in‘ to see the new Sum- mrside curling rink for the first time Tuesday night. The curlers of East. Prince certainly have I fine plaice to play their games fr0m now on. The room that looks out on the curling ice lanes l: quite large, costly furnished and gen- erally attractive. Upstalrs there is another spacious room for holding banquets, etc. with kitchen ad- joining, and the large basement where the artificial ice plant 1s located leaves plenty of rc€m i0!‘ club activities.

The game 5f ‘cui-‘ling threatens t.» have a formidable rival in Summerside, however. Seems Mr. Bill Fridgen has introduced n new game to these parts which ls call- ed "broom ball". The name seems to be a fitting one because all W" need to play it ls a broom, a ball, and your equilibrium while you are socking the latter with the former. Bill persuaded some of his fellow Kinsmen to go down to the Kinuinen open-air rink and play lt with him, and in no tlmelat all the scene on the ice looked like a Janitors get-together, Some boys borrowed brooms, challenged the Kinsmen to n lflrlw. and. we are told made a clean IWBOp of all the honors. Right here and mow, we'd like to bet dollars to ddughnutl (which isn't giving such odds, eon- slderlng the high colt of Dlllrles these days), that the Klnettel will trim any nil-star team of Kins- men that; Bill like: to name. They've been using the weapons of propulsion much too long to let n bunch of iners men manipu- late them more lklllfully than they do.
