the league c-fficiuls may be forced to take action. Under the condit- ions it might not be improbable Ithat the league heads would de- lcide to (ommeiicc play-offs im- imcdiatcly with all six teams par- ticipatiiig.

I Coach lmiimirriiv and the mem- Ibcrs of the Islanders team were warm in their praise of Captain icharllc Trainor of Maritime Cent- ral Airwais yesterday. Charlie piloted the plane which took the Iboys home from Halifax Saturday night and landed them safely des- -pite the storm. The storm moved in more quickly and in greater force than had been anticipated with the result that it was snow- ing quite heavily when the plane arrived at Charlottetown. The pilot was forced to circle the air- :-port. for nearly I half-hour and made three attempts to land lie- fore he brought the plane in on the runway.

. . .

A number of residents heard the plane flying overhead and knew that it was the Islanders attempt- in: to land. The boys themselves felt some anxiety but knew they were in capable hands with CIp- tsin 11-ainor. a Second World War ace. at the controls. Tralnor. it will he remembered, played hockey and football with St. Dunstsnts ilnivcrslty in the late thirties and. in the opinion of veteran football .coach Father Walter MacGulaan, was one of the hardest tacklers ever to wear l.hOr garb 'of the red and white.

We wish to extend our congrat- ulations to the saint Dunstan's Un- lverslty basketball team. The Saint.-i came within two points of winning the N. B.-P. E. I. Intercollegiate crown and within one point. of earning I draw for top spot. In games won and last they stand on even footing with U.

As it turned out, the one point dlffcrsncc meant thc crown. .

The University of New Bruns. wick team won the title when they defested Mount A. It Bsckville on Saturday Iftemoon. A U. N.B. loss Saturday Ind the Saints would have won the crown. Friday night's game here between the Saints and U. N. B. has been termed by com- petent basketball observers as .ons of the best seen in recent years. At orfa time in the second half the Saints were trailing by 11 points but they came bsck to go ahead and win by eight. Before the game ended they had been ten points ahead but the U.N.'B. five whit- tled two point: of their lead.

It was it tough bresk for the

saints to lose by so close I rnnrxln but they know now that they Itsnd on a par with mainland universit- las. It was the local college's first year in senior intercollegiate play and they certainly made I showing which is I credit to themselves and I source of Idmlrstlon to their supporters.
