The tiny youngster, with her amazing muscular control and sense of balance. last July cap- tured the Canadian women's cham- pionship iii 5 meet at Vancouvcr. just prior to the British Empire Games. She won firsts in all but two of seven events. There were no gymnastic events for women at the games.

Ernie's coach, physical instructor Bernie Newman, started her on a gymnastic czircer more than two years ago. Her first instrution was in a corner lot which he equips cztch summer with apparatus for '.:c by neighborhood children.

some of her talent comes from her parents, both members or the Canadian Dance Teachcrs' Assoc- iation. Her father teaches acro- batic dancing hero. and her mother is a tap and ballet instrutor.

and has performed at several sum- mer concerts here. "TAKES LOT OF TIME" Ernestine says she doesn't know why she became interested In gym- nastics, a little-known and exact- ing sport. ”lt takes la lot of time practis- ing, and there aren't many people .who follow it very closely. but I

think it's worth the time and ef- fort," she said. "I enjoy every min- ute I put into it."

She said her biggest thrill was the time she was introduced to figure-skating champion Barbara Ann Scott. who won the top Cana- dian woman athlete title three times.

”I'd like a chance to win the title once more myself.” she said. ”And I'd also like to perform on a Canadian team in the Olympics some time."

When the Atlantic Coast Senior 1-Ioclcey League was formed early last. fall, one of the conditions on which the Amherst entry was made was that each team in the league participate in this 10 cents 11. head deal. It was agreed by all teams, however. that the Hawks under the financial strength of Mike Baig, be exempt from-this arrangement, The reason for the Amherst cliib desiring such 3. thing at that. time was because they ex- pectcd to have their usual small crowds in attendance at home galhes. So, it would be of great benefit for them to collect on the road trips to help in the financial burden of the team because they realized that the crowds in Char- lottetown and Fredericton would likely be much larger than their own.

I O I so. the Caps and Islanders agreed to this deal in which they. for the most part. had very little interest. At the first or the season. the ar- rangement worked to the advent- age of the Ramblers. They played sensational hockey at home and their crowds rose In number. but when they came to the Island. ltliey played extremely poor and the crowds in Charlottetown and Fredericton fell by the hundreds each time the Rmblcra came. Thus the Amherst club collected very little money in either center. But when the Islanders and Capitals ivisitcd the Bailey Arena. the place iwiis packed and the visitors re- .('ElVEd enough compensation b, pthls pre-season deal to cover the expense of their road trips. . . .

SYDNEY. Australia (AP) - Tho Davis Cup challenge round here Dec. 27-29 will gross 5332,- 000. the largest gate in the ten- nis event's history. '

deal was not dropped as of then. the league could consider the Ramblers an out. They--said that L! they had to support the Caps and the Islanders along with their own entry that it would not be possible for them to operate. What a ridi- culous statement to make. With the crowds that the Ram-blers are getting they should be in I. better condition than they ever were, and no one need tell us that they aren't. The Islanders ,have been running successfully for the past month on between 600 and 1,000 fans a game. They are leading the league with a. roster of fourteen players and will have only 12 men dressed till after the holidays. The Islanders feel that if they had needed another rearguud. they couldn't have brourlght him in no matter how little he cost. The Ramblers on the other hand were able to fork out slzoo for one play- er alone and an unkown but as- sumed high price for a trio of men since then. They now have a I8-man team. including two goalies. It. would then seem that the Ramblers are trying to pull a fast one over on the other ACSHL en- tries. . . . As we said before, early in sun- day's meeting. the Ramblers stated that they, if the 10 cent deal were to continue. the Amherst club were through operating unless a new executive were to take over. A motion proposed by the Amherst club to drop the deal was thrown out when the league president out the deciding vote. and Capital representatives sug- gested that the Amherst club stay in existance till after the holiday and give the other clubs a chance to consider the move. The Ram- blers came right back and said that it they could hold out till after the holidays, that they would likely finish the regular schedule. At this stage of the session. at which time there was talk of a three-team circuit, the writer had to leave in order to get the boat back to the Island. However, when we reached the local caplm we learned by the CP report of the meeting that the Ramblers saw they-were fighting I lost cause and had conceded to continue op- eration till January 9 at least. So. after the holidays things will likely look much different and it is ollr guess that the Ramblers will be fn the league for the remainder of the season. and why shouldn't they be? They have it fast. rising. second place team with many highly-rated performers. O O I

The Islander.

The Chnrlotti-,tuivn Islander: in- creased their league lead to 9 points as they made it five games without a loss last. night by de- featlng the Eecond place Amherst Ramblers 4-2 in A fast. close game before, I smell crowd at the Forum. The Islanders dressed only twelve men for last night's game. having only two regular defcncemen in action. Coach Steve Brklaclch played all of the first and second periods and was given only partial -relief by Copper Leyte in the final.

The first period was very close with neither penalties or scoring entering the records. In the sec- ond period the team split a pair of goals while the Ramblers were collecting I trlor of penalties. Play loosened up in the final frame with the locals out-scoring

the. visitors 3-1 and with each team taking a like number of penalties.

Buck Whitlock led the winner: with a goal and an assist while Lorne Hennessey had I pair of helpers. Wimpy Jones and Cop- per Leytc were the other Islander marksmcn wlille Lou Kiley and Rollie Savard scored for the Ram- blers.

For the Islanders. the line of Hennessey. Whitlock and Gray was the most dangerous to the, Ramblers. The best of the Ram- blers were young Henri Therrien. Paul Saindon and Jackie Schmidt. In the defensive end. goalie Ca- mille Tremblay turned aside I to- tal of 35 shots while Islanders Jim Shirley, who win back after a short injury period. made 5 saves, many of them in sen- sational manner. Maurice Parr

Now can you Just. imagine that? Vip is lucky that he didn't: get taken to court for attempted murder. However. here is two sides to every sI.0l'y., but this one we find very hard to believe. 0 I 0

After MacDonald gave his re- port, he was sent from the meet- ing and the other referee at the game. Cliff Young was called in for his version. Young stated that in no way was MacDonald injur- ed physlcially. Then Mr, Parlee said that he based his judgment on the fact that no official in the league had been fniured in any way before. Now thosethree things do definitely not add up. However the sentence is pond and for the little attention the league executive paid to the versions of the inclde t giv- en by Palladino gnd Hlnchberger at the meeting. we don't see why they ever asked them to attend. It was just a lost week-end as far M the players were concerned. If the league just. called them in to make the thing look good. they failed by a long shot. Because with the at- titude that the league president took to the Island representative at the opening of the meeting, It was very only to see what the re- sult would be.

was the pick of the Ramblers renrgulrds. while Steve Brklaclch. Danny O'Connor and Copper Leyto were stand-outs for the Is- landera.

The opening frame was very evenly played with I lot of close- checking witnessed. The Islanders. however, had the better acorlns opportunities although they may have been fewer than those of the Kiley men. Buck Whitlock hit the goal-post lhortly after the game had started. on n. bud slap-shot which many people though went in the net.

From then on Ramblers had it slight edge in territorial play till the period ended with Jim Shirley also making some dazzling seven.

The line of Fern Bernaquez, Em- mett Kennedy and Paul Baindon sought hard to make the red light blink behind Shirley in the open- ing minute of the middle session with Salndon missing the open corner of the net by inches shortly before Larry Blackburn received the first penalty of the game. He had just returned to the Ice when Moe Parr was sent to the cooler
