SACKVILLE HIGH SCHOOL team has ambitious hockey plans | for the coming season. .

Island folks will be interested in their performances because Marcellus MacGuigan of Charlottetown is coaching the squad. Marcellus is a member of the Saint Dunstan’s 1958 graduating tlass and played hockey with the Varsity team. He is now a member of the Sackville High School teaching staff. j i

Reports out of Sackville indicates that the standard of hockey has improved to such an extent that two members of last year’s , senior team failed to make the team this season.

Coach-MacGuigan is working hard with his squad and hopes te get in several games with school teams from neighboring owns.

Islanders will be watching how these lads fare out under heir Island pilot. i

Says Stengel. ‘Getting O’Dell from Baltimore could mean the pennant for the San Francisco Giants. Billy is’ a helluva

. He’s a lefty with excellent control and for a power hitting

ub like the Giants could very easily win 20 games. And the

rumor that he has arm trouble is a lot of apple strudle. He shut out my Yankees the final week of the season.”

And Mr. Stengel is a shrewd gentleman.
