fare anced Navy outfit from Nova Sco- tis wrinkled as their lineup is with former stan of the National Hockey Man's. .

It b quite probable that Oom- wslllls will enter the game as strong favorites to come t h with s victory but the strength nevertheless of the team that will be sent against them cannot be un- derrated too much for local hoe- koyists against New Bomberson edlnosday ved that the brand of hockey that was played here all winter was far better than a good many of the fans thought. _ . _

But irrespective of who is re- turned the winner the biggest crowd of the season and that will mean an overflow crowd should be on hand for the encounter. For the benefit of the Red Cross those attending will be “ liping out a very cause and in addition will be privileged of witnessing the moat talked of team in the Maritimes in action.

News of the death of Jack Croc- kett of the R.C.N. comes as a great shock to the boy's many friends here in Charlottetown where he was known for his keen following of sport and where al- so he gave signs of developing in- to a smart hockey player in appear- amas he made here.

a a o Jack developing into a big boy since his entrance into the Navy was one of the most likable young- sters that thls writer had the pri- vllege of knowing. There always was a smile no matte,- how tough the going was and it was Just this year that we had the privilege of watching him perform with the Navy team of the City Hockey League while home on leave.

a e a

Little did we dream then that Jack was making his final hockey appearance but that is the way that things turned out for him and to his sol-rowing relatives we oi- fer ollr sincere sympathy in the great loss they sustained in Jack's early summons.

o a e Suinmerside Fiyers hit-ting on all cylinders once they had overcome the early two goal deficit they faced proved too much for the young Collegians in Thursday night's City Hockey league final and to Flying Officer Cotie's squad congratulations are in order for their well-deserved march to the e.

Although hardly one of the big crowd of fans that were in at- tendance dreamt that they would put on such a convincing show of power to take the play away from Johnny squarebriggk team never- theleu it is a fact that the young- sters were soundly beaten by what proved to be a better team.

a . 0 But while COIICQlBMS are now out of the picture fans who saw them perform all season long can do nothing else but extol the team for the fighting spirit and good hockey also that they displayed on every appearance. . . a

Seldom if ever have we watched a team with so mluch fight and spi- rit as the Squsrebrigga-ocached crew offered ‘to their supporters. Pitted against bigger, more exper- ienced cpoprlents they never knew when they were licked and they kept this up right to their final fadeout Thursday night.
