Eagles Throw Big Surprise

The RCAF Eagles didn't win the ball game on Friday evening. but they threw a big surprise into just about every~ one including their own sup- porters. A few we talked to were making a feeble attempt at whistling in the dark. Be- cause the Eagles were miss- ing three of their key players .in Bob Sleigh, Steve Phillips. and John Brisebols. we, and a lot of others. thought they were in for a lop-sided trounc- ing. But they made it a nip-

We think the rugged games they had all winter in the ISHL helped them a lot. Credit must , . however. to their manager, SL Gerry Smith. d th coach. FS Andy Gilpin. for the great improvement this team has shown. When they first par- ticipated in the league last No- vember. sports writers were pessimistic about their chances of putting up satisfactory com- petition against the other teams in the circuit, and the results of the first few games were a bit

The SummerSIde Pee Wee All- Stars travel to Natick this week under the supervision of the chief sponsors of this interna- tional exchange of visits (and of friendship and good-will) Gord Kelly, Bob Schurman, and Sid Forbes. Mayor Ernest Morrison and Deputy Mayor George Key will also make the trip. T ll 1 s Natick-Summerside relation is a pleasing one and was begun be- cause Natick's Johnny Carroll was a very popular coach of Summerside's minor baseball players for a number of years.

By the way, these same all- star Pee-Ween lost out to the RCAF Pee-Wees last week in Island playdowns after play- ing overtime. The airforce Paperweights were also vic- torious over our 8-10 year old kids. The S mmerslde Ban- tams retrieved a part of our
