Ordinarily an attendance of 15 or 20 is average for a monthly meet- ing and something out of the ordin- ary caused hunters and others inter- ested to attend in record number. It was something out of the ordin- ary - an unprecedented outbreak of pre-season shooting that had driven thousands of ducks from in- land feeding grounds to the sanctu- ary of the salt flats.

Deadline For ACSHL Sunday

FREDERICTON (CP)- The in- fant Atlantic Coast Senior Hockey League, seeking to ward off an early death, has called a meeting of its executive for Sunday after- noon at Amherst. N. 5.

It's going to "meet the bull

head-on" in the words of Jack lFcnety, a vice-president of the or- t ganization. I ”This is the deadline of every- thing," Mr. Fenety said Friday. ”We will revive the league. or con- duct a burial service."

Originally the loop was expected to comprise Halifax, Amherst, Charlottetown. Moncton. Frederic- ton and Saint John. Moncton and Halifax have quit the circuit and Saint John never ,got around to entering.

Until Friday Fredericton, Char- lottetown and Amherst looked like the only sure starters. But Mr. Fcncty hinted new Moncton inter-

Snort Echoes From Prince county

The Holman Intermediates are giiiiiliig respect every game they play. Not. many fans would have risked much on their chances of defeating the Abbies for the Island title. but. the boys went ahead and did it. To hear the fans talk. the odds were still greater against their chances of beating Amherst. Considering the fact that Amherst won two games against C 36 B and looked much the better team in doing it. you couldnit blame the blcacheritcs for not placing mucliy confidence in the Schurman-Ben nard gang.

They haven't beaten Amherst yet. of course. but. win or lose. they've shown theniselvrs worthy opponents of the Nova Scotia champs. In the 13-13 game here. the Airforre boys carried the mail. and looked to be more than half the club. The RCAI-" lads didn't fall down on the job In the 5-2 victory either. but. the town boys pulled up their sox and pulled their share of the load.

De Lcfurgey was the hydrogen bomb in this contest, of course. It must have been a grand and glor- ious feeling for Dee, who had: taken quite it larruping in the first. exhibition Kai-ne between 0 dz B and Amherst In the Nova Scotia town. Dee did much better in lhn few innings he worked against the Bluejays at the Airport one Sunday later in the season. but he really slammed the door in their faces Wednesday afternoon.
