Assisted above Saints were undefeated and with one exception winning by good margins. A light but game Prince of Wales team nearly forced the schedule to an extra gains in what proved to be the deciding win for the red and white team but the superior weight of the champions told in the final minutes with the result that they were able to push over two touch- downs in the last flva minutes and break s. 3-0-11 deadlock that had ex- isted from early in the first half. It was one of the gamest fights ever seen on a local gridiron and one that drew for the city teem plenty of deserving encomiurns.

In the intercollegiate series Saints D0l"l"€d their wrv to a convincing 24-0 triumph in the opener but in the second game P. W, C. again nearly prolonged the asides with a last ditch stand but again lost out an unconverted try, the only one of the gains proving sufficient margin for the ultimate winners.

In the intersohciastic series those old rivals West Kent and Queen square provided the same sparkling brand of ruliby that is always dished out whorl the schools clash. Fighting from behind from the op- ening minutcs of both games the Queen Square sound could not ovar- omne the superiority of the win- hers and again their bid for the McMillan Trophy ed. losing by scores of 15-3 and 8-3.

Players taking part in the vari- ous leagues displayed the same en- thusiasm ss in previous years but for the most part the games were played before scant crowds.

SOFTBALL ‘lié

"Emily about the best season it has enjoyed yet" about silmmarlzes the pest softball season. Away to an early start an eight team city League was in operation through- out the summer months, extending well into the fall. Attendances were on the increase at most every gime and in the final playoffs big crowds were in attendance. Borden also had its. usual strong team and Georgetown, taking the game up for the first time fielded a danger- ous, hard-hitting nine. Exhibition games were played between the three during the seaon that brought out keen rivalry for the ensuing Island playoffs.

The City League was divided in- to two sections with Stewart's Bakery and 8th Battery being ro- turnecl the respective winners. the latter team winning the title ill the final setto. Owing to tile lateness 0f tho season the playdowns took the form of sudden-death encoun- ters so as to have plenty of time for the Island playoffs and ensuing Maritime playdowlis, and in this latter case it marked the first time that an Island team had tried for three-province honors.

Borden Nationals drew a bye in the Island games and in a two- game series between the Battery and Georgetown the City team cams through winning the second setto on home glouxlds 16 to 15 after being decisive winners at Georgetown. It was a great exhi- bition cf fighting spirit by the los- ers with the odds against them and they deserve plenty of credit for their showing.

Continuing their march the Bat- tery team, after losing the opener at Borden 8-7. tame book on their home grounds to will the next two and the title. It was one of the most bitterly fought series in Island sport history and .t was the bril- liance of the Battery outfielder-s in the final game that decided the issue in favor oi the city team.

But whell- the Islanders met Moncton Eatcns in the Maritime semi-final’ it was inst a matter of being really outclassed by a smart- er aggregation. They lost both tilts by lop-sided scores but by so doing gained a lot, of experience that should be a big help when next season rolls around.
