Judging from the two gal-hes played to date and knowing Sum- mcrsidc teams of old. it appears as if this year's City Hockey Lea- gue encounters are going to be rugged. fast-skating aflalrs all the way through. Certainly the four City teams haven't pulled any punches in rhe two exhibition games and as a result, although tile hockey has been a bit ragged it has more than made up for the lack of polish by the hard- tlitting action that has been quite evident not only to the fans but also to the referees. j O O O O ‘ Tuesday night the league has its oflicial opening and from there on fans should be in for some very interesting hockey nights. The brand of hockey is bound to improve as the players hit their real strides; the rugged- ness won't decrease a bit and by the way the teams are shaping up st present it should be a bat- tle right down to the wire.

O O O O Legionaircs received a bodyblow when it was made known yester- day that Art. Perry is to lineup with a Cape Breton club in the near future. A scout from the Cape Breton Hockey League was in attendance at Thursday's game and immediately set the seal oi approval on Perry. who has ac- cepted the terms laid down.

O O O O It is not surprising that Art received the offer. Since his rs- turn from overseas the big for- ward has been conspicuous in ev- ery game he has played. Big. fast. and possessing a terrific shot he was one of the main cogs in the Legion machine last year and there seems no reason to doubt but that he will make good in the Cape Breton League. O O O O Although the opening date ia still two months away Prince Edward Island Curling Associat- ion officials have already recedved eight official entries and 30 or i0 enquiries for proper entry iorms for the Confederation Bon- spiel to be staged here in Feb- ruary. with prmrtise of 40 other entries. ranging from Maritime entries to entrants from Ontario and Quebec. O O O O

Most outstanding entry to be received to date is that oi the Thistle Curling Club from Hem- ilton, Ont. comprising the fam- ous Canrpbeil rink of Duncan 8.. Colin A.. A.. and Gordon M. Campbell, a quartetto of curlers who are known all over tlhe Do- minion. O O O O Entry of this well known rink is just a sample of the interest that is being shown by curlers in the curling extravagunaa that the Island Association is going to stage. and it‘ is very likely that before the entry deadline has ar- rived. Charlotetown will be play- ing hosts to a record nunter of bosom and stane artists. O O O O

Meanwhile the various commit- tees are‘ busily engaged In getting i their tasks in complete working order. Not d stone is being left unturned in an edort to make the coming bonapiel one to be ro- Inembered jmong curlers for a long time. and Judging by the progress that is being made and the interest that is being drown the efforts being put forth are going to bear fruit.

‘he Amateur Athletic Associa- tlon has screed in principle to appointment oi a elional mach. but with a stipulation. He would not be attached to a par- ticular "star". but would teach other~ coaches who would impart their knowledge widely.
