will sit. back to watch and relax whle High School rinks from Charlottetown

Local veteran curlers

and Summerside will take over the curling spotlight during the next two days at the Charlotte- town Curling Club. Commencing today, four rinks, two from the City and two from Summerside. will vie for top Provincial honors when the second Annual P.E.l. High School Curling Champion- ships will get underway there. 0 C O

Inaugurated here last winter, when a Charlottetown rink skipp- ed by Doug Cameron and repre- senting Prince of Wales College -copped off Provincial honors, the youngsters came up with plenty in the way of smart curling and close competative play that sur- prised and pleased even the most seasoned veterans. Following 8 closely contested Provincial play- downs, the representative rink competed in Dominion competit- ions at Quebec City. where they made a strong showing and raised

high hopes here for future de- velopment among the younger curling set.

0 0

The Cameron rink will defend their title in this year's competit- ions and will be made up of the same personnel with the exception of one change in which Maurice Jenkins will replace Billy Platts of last year's rink. The other mem- bers of the team are Prank Acorn, Jr.. and Karl Reardon. The teams will play a. double round-robin series, with t-he winning team representing the Province at the Dominion High School Bonspiel to he held this year at Nelson, no on February laih.

. . .

But before such a representative team is selected, the defending champions are expected to be con- fronted with plenty of keen oppo- sition from last year's runner-up rink skipped by Alexander Camp- bell of Summerside and the other two entries from both this City and the Western Capital. All four rinks have been getting in plenty of practice curling for the event, and if the Cameron rink is to re- tain the title this ycar, they will have to really "soon e'm up" in expert fashion.

. . .

The Islanders Hockey Club. who have been looking a little weary of late due to a long schedule of league and exhibition contests and showing signs of needing it href rest. to get back into their winning ways again. got a break from the weatherman yesterday. Scheduled to meet Halifax Saint Mary's at the Nova Scotia Capital last night in a scheduled "Big Four" contest. the boys were unable to make the trip yesterday when freezing rain and fog prevailed throughout most of the Marltimes to restrict air travel and cause the game to be postponed.

It was not through lack of effort

on the team's part. however, that

they didn't make the trip. The boys had been standing by since ten o'clock in the morning until lnte in the afternoon waiting for the o.k. sign from airport officials that there would be I flight, but weather conditions were such that it was Just "no dice". while it was still early in the clay, efforts were niso made to arrange transportat- ion by road. but highways between here and Borden and also on parts of the mainland were re- ported to be in such icy condition that they were not fit for safe travel. 0 O 0

The extra day of rest, however. will no doubt prove a. fortunate turn of events for the local club, who with n free date on Wednes- day. should be well rested up for their battle here tonight against their prospective opponents of last night. Halifax Saint Mary's. Except for yesterday's postpone- ment, it would have meant three more games in a row without it rest for the Island Club. which would have run their total of comes to nine in a space of twelve days. Dnough to no the strength of the best condltoned club.

In contact with Halifax offi- cials yesterday. the local club management agreed to play the postponed game at Halifax next Thursday. Feb. 8th, which is an open date for both clubs. The only nine scheduled for that date in a clash between Beavus and Hawk: at Saint John.
