Schmidt In — Watson Out
MILT Schmidt is back again as pilot of the Boston Bruins. It was Milt who was removed from the post at the end of 1 use the Bruins were going now previously employed as manager of New Y s and consequently fired by the same organization, was given the job and the Bruins responded by going exactlv nowhere.
After Bruins lost to Detroit Red Wings Sunday night at home. Watson came tumbling down and in came quiet-spoken Schmidt. Boston fans were hollering for Phil's scalp and the (Strange should satisfy the cash customers for a spell.
BOSTON‘S failure to do anything wortliuhile at the draft was a strang thing: Dollard St. Laurent. 3 most capable rear- guard, was up for grabs but Boston, in ' uch a
ormeu‘. passed him up. The Bruins’ youth movement was surely overdone and as a result things went from bad to worse
This present season the Bostonians commenced things with a 5.0 blanking of Montreal Canadiens and folks wondered if a change was about to take place. However, since that opener, the Bruins have failed to register a triumph and the loyal
went up to get rid of Watson and some fans took dum

Nowhere But Up
WATSON was certainly never one to endear himself to the paying public. He popped off at a great rate and Without much
Prince County Combines in- vaded the Charlottetown Sports Arena last night and although they sufftred a 5-8 setback to
count of themselves, especially in the second and third periods when they outplayed their pow- erful opponents.
In the first period it appeared as if the Royals would roll to a lopsided score, firing three un- answer goals in the first twenty minutes of play but the visitors made a great comeback
mg two unanswered tallies to come within one of the Royals with the score reading 3-2.

ents outscore them 3-1. The los- ers fired 16 shots at goalie Lyman Maclnnis in this final frame compared to the 9 shots the Royals had on Thane ‘Whit- ey' Mann at the opposite end of the freeze.
The first period was less than five minutes old when Kip Ready took a Gunner McCor- mack pass and drifted the puck behind Mann to give the Royals a 1-0 lead.
Vince Mulligan made it 2-0 at the 17.20 when he let a shot go from just inside the blue line

Schmidt has no place to go but up. Anything will be an improvement and the ardent backers of teh Bruins are surely deserving of such improvement. Milt may be able to get the Bruins moving better and just about everybody hopes he can. It would be a much better National Hockey League if Boston started moving upward. .
We hope Schmidt makes a comeback with the Beantowners.

The defending champion Blue Bombers need tWo straight wins over the Stamps in order to emerge victorious and that should take a lot of hardwork.
