Tells 0f Fine Traek, Field Showing

‘Ilhe rapid strides which track end field has made in the Province since the revival of the Abegweit Amateur Athletic Association last

ear was borne out by Mr. George

alters, chairman of the ‘Track ind Field committee in his report It. last night's annual meeting:

Scme of the accomplishments of Island athletes and teams is recall- ed in Mr. Walters‘ report as fol- lows:

On behalf of. the “Track and Field Committee." I wish to present the annual report of our activities for the past year. The "Abhies" were well represented in the four major “track and field meets" held In the Maritimes during the pastl surr-ner. Our club won two of these meets on total points and were close runners-up to the winners in the other two. In the four meets the seniors captured a total of Zlifirsts. 14 seconds and ll third places. while our Juniors won 3 firsts. 7 seconds and 6 thirds. In addition members of the team set one nezv Maritime record and four senior and three junior resords at Mem- orial Field. I believe that this rec- ord of achievement. in our first year of activity after the Club's re-organlzation should encourage the continued interest by our members and citizens in general.

Before continuing with a detail- ed sumitnary of the various coni- petitions, I. should here like to ex- press our appreciation to Brig. Bill Reid and his Department of Phy- sical Fitness, for their generous cit-operation during the year. Briz. Reid has done s. tremendous job fii providing that excellent sports center, Memorial Field, which has become the mecca of sport en- thusiasts during the summer months. end has in many ways ss- sisbed our teams.

Early in the year we received notification of the annual Mari- time Interscholastic Track and field meet to be held at Acadia University. Wolfvllle on May 24th. Although the early season and poor “other did not provide for proper hoisting schedule, the Club in co- operation with the Department of Ihyslosi Fitness, sent eight boys from our City schools to this meat. This was the first time sn Island school team had competed in an Gui-side Maritime meet and they made s. very (rreditable showing winning one event and placing well h oiihers.

On the some day a group of five flltmoe runners took the Abbie eolors to the New Glasgow 10 mile seed race. From s. strong field the helm placed second in points, while hdivldual members took fourth. seventh, elgihth, twelvth and four. Ientlt positions.

On. June 11th, a team of five Qzlors snd one junior competed for the "Abbles" in the Maritime Olympic Trials at Halifax. While mm of our athletes were selected

S [IMMIAR Y First Period.

In Tuesday night's City League hockey mate-h in which the S.D.U. squad won out by the sl’i."n margin of one goal over the Prince of Wales pucksters, many of the new faces on the lineups were showing plenty of promise for future com- petition and despite the fact that it was the first game in actual compeiition for either team this year. the boys were doing some fast skating and good puck carry- liig.

e e e e

Among the new additions to thc Squarebriggs-coachcd P.W.C. squad who stood out in ‘Tuesday night's performance were George Andrew. Philip Jai-dlne and Red liowatt who all worked very effectively‘ up on the forward line with both l-lowatt and Jardinc figuring in on the team's scoring while Andrew at centre exhibited good play- mskliig ability and teamwork as well as doing some very effective back-checking. In the rearguaid section young David Jardine did s. good job back on the defence, con- sidering it is his first. year in sen- ior competition. while their new net custodian Hennessey turned in a stellar performance.

s e e e Jackie Kane's new additions to the red and white lineup also came through with some smart perform- ing, with young Delghen up on the forward line accounting for one of the Saints‘ goals while E. Francis back on the defence and L. Crete, who shared the net minding honours. all turned in out- standing performances.

I O e O

Although the above comment would infer that the new lads ivere doing all the work, it was far from that. The always aggressive line of Joe Mahar, Reg Rodgers and Houde, who have been giving top perform- ance for tihe Saints in past years, were right on the job again this year with Houde accounting for two of his team-mates goals with Mahar assisting on one. Mike Hen- nessey, back in his regular ile- fensive position. turned in a good game too, and was on hand at the right time to assist on twoofhls team's goals.

. . .

The steady, hard working line of Pud Beer. Elmer Blanchard and Gus Downe also turned in a good performance for P.W.C., with Blanchard and Downe combining on one of the Wclshmerfs goals while George McRae and. Spy Ready were making it tougil for incoming Saints forwards back on

With hockey in full swing here now. a big crowd ls expected to be turning out tonight to see the Sucti- merside All-Stars come to grips with the Prince of Wales Welshman in the third game of the City Hoc- key League which gets underway at. B115 at the Forum.

The game should be a. fast and furious one ail the way as both have suffered defeat once already this season in their initial starts. and will be striving hard for s win along the comeback trail to put tihem baclnon a more even footing In the league.

The Steele-coached Western squad went don-n to defeat by a score of 7-1 before the strong local Navy team a week ago Wednesday in the City League opener. while the Squarebriggs-coached Welsh- men lost out on a 3-2 decision against Saint. Dunstans University on Tuesday night.

However, previous defeats mean little in hockey and anything might happen before tonight's tussle is over and fans can depend that there will be plenty of action before the final whistle blows.

MAIDSTONE. Sask, Nov. l7 - (OP) — There are fewer than 500 persons in this northwestern Saskatchewan villlw. bu‘ I-lwy“ built themselves s. rink for curl- ing. hockey and skating Wm“) cost. $12,000 and has an estimated value. of $24,000.

It all started when the villllle board of trade dwlded in 1943 w keep the proceeds of a 5P0!" d“ it staged every Dominion D8)’ l“ a community fund for reoreatlohll purposes, and to add to the fund in any way possible.

By i944, popular opinion was that the best way to spend NW fund would be to build a rink- The objective was setLLt 529909- A fraternal organization turned over $1,300, proceeds of a carnival. From, then on. the proceeds of almost everything from sales o! lemonade to fowl suppers were earmarked for "the rink."

By the spring of this year. U10 fund held cash and pledged dons.- tions amounting to $11000. The board of trade decided to tear down the old rink, long obsolete, and begin building the new one on the same site.

The entire village turned out to wreck the old rink. Some of the better material was salvaged for use in the new building. The rest was auctioned for $400.

The board of trade hired only a foreman. It told tihe people of Maidstone. “if you want o. rink. come on over. bring your hammer and we'll all build it."

Dhtcrills Al. Cost

Most materials were obtained at cost. The site belongs to the vil- lage. Eldon municipality excavat- ed and levelled 1.000 yards of earth free. contributed gravel from the municipal pit. A construction company working nearby dug holes for cement footings.

Maidstone has no convenient water supply. So the resourceful villagers built cement cisterns to hold 30,000 gallons under the rink. Rain water drained off the roof is expected in supply all the water needed for flooding.

The volunteer fire brigade is in- stalling pumps for flooding as well as fire protection. If expert tradesmen were not available for ii technical job, someone around Maldstone always was willing to take t1 crack at it.

No one knew much about dyna- miting. necessary in excavating for the cisterns. The earth was frozen from 3 1-2 feet down. So the hardy men who took over the job set a good hefty charge and let her go. Frozen chunks of earth fell over all the town for a few seconds.

Bo- side winning the featured relay event. our Juniors took two firsts, two seconds and three third places. In most meets the relays count double points, but our club being hosts did not consider it sports- manlike to adopt this procedure. A-lad the usual point system been used our club would have won both sections of the i-neet due to the ad- dltional points.

The club co-operated with the Department of Physical Fitness in sponsoring an outstanding Pro- vincial Track and Field meet for schools on saturdimSepLflth. The keeness of these Juvenile competit- ors sniggests a wealth of material for future Abbie teams.

It is hoped that the development of our junior and senior athletes may be scoelieraied, by the inclus- ion ln our sports program for the coming year, of several twilight Track meets during the lilnmer months. By these we can enema-gs
