School boy curlers from Sum-

merside and Charlottetown held the spotlight at the local curling club Friday and Saturday. Today the two Charlottetown rinks will meet to decide the provincial nlrarnpionship. The showing of the Barrie MacDonald rink has been the surprise of the meet. Just I group of yoirrigsiers they catapult- cd into the limelight by upsetting t-he strong Cameron rink in the opening day's competition. . . .

The progress made by these youtrlrfui curlers reflects credit on the clubs which they represent

and those who give of their time. for instruction and encouragement. )

The future of curling is indeed brigiht if the playing of these school boy rinks is any indication of the enthusiasm and interest that permeates their ranks. . . .

One lad. not yet thirteen. who caught the eye of spectators was George Dillon. No novice to the game, George, who is male of the Mac-Donald rink, has turned in a starry performance. His unortho- dox delivery is something to watch. He is seldom off the broom and can usually be counted upon to get. his rink out of a tough spot. However. all these young curlers. Bill MacKinnon and John Squarebriggs Jr., are pioneering the way for other youngsters to take up the game. The day may not be far distant when the school boy curlers competition may high- light the program of winter sports heizeabouts.

O

Other curling competitions that will break into the limelight to- day will be the Charlottetown Curling Clurb's championsh-ip play for the British Consols Trophy. which will get its first round matches underway tonight mcncing at seven o'clock. Twelve rinlks are scheduled to meet in six inalches at the local clurb and plenty of keen com-petition is ex- peeted.

The winning rink for the Brit- ish ConsoLs Trophy will qualify them to advance into the Provinc- ial playdowns later in the month in select a. representative team that will in turn carry the colors for the Province in Dominion play scheduled for Halifax on March 6-10th.

Looking over the results of Big Four week-end games it. is cer- tainly indicative that the Maritime loop is really tightening up in the last lap of a long 78-game schedule and that by the time playoff competition is reached. not one of the four clubs are going to have a soft touch in dispensing semi-final opponents in order to blaze I way into the finals. Even though things are tnzvhtening tip now. there is not likely to be any chance in the actual finishing positions at the end of the sched- ule and the teams who were matched on Saturday night will

meet in the same order in the. playoffs. I O 0 Unless something very drastic happens. Islanders 16-point lead

over second place Halifax should stand them in good stead for the number one spot at the end of the schedule. and the big points deficit that Moncton is lavboring under is a cinch to see them finish in the cellar position. The only change. that might take place would be the battle for the second and third place positions between Halifax and Saint John. but if a switch around from their present pos- itions should occur. it still won't alter the playoff procedure. These irwo teams will still meet one another as the serni-final playoff teams in that bracket. 0 0 0

Even at that. the Saniamarians are I pregy good bet to finish in the second spot as things stand now. despite recent strong show- ings on the part, of Beavens. Hal- ifax hold nearly as llrge a point margin Is Islanders hold over them. I tidy 11 points. and that is I lot to pick up when the chips are down and the play getting

keener by the dIy. It is doubtful"

any-way. if either teem will wear themselves out over it before playoff time when there is noth- ing more at stake than the sails- faction of finishing in I. higher bracket in Mrs league standing.

TORONTO. Feb. 4 -. (OPl - Toronto Maple Leafs ran their un- beaten streak to eight games sat- urday night with a 6-3 victory over Cliicago Black Hawks here before 13.032 National llockey Leag-ue fans.

The second-place Leafs. although never behind. held only a. slim 4-3 lead in the last three minutes of the game. Then the last-place Hawks ran into three penalties and Leafs scored two quick ggoals to clinch the decision.

Tod Sloan. Sid Smith. Hnowle Meeker. Cal Gardner. Danny Lew- ioki and Max Bentley -were the For- onto mnrksmen.

Jim Conacher. Gus Bodnan and Roy Conaclrer gal: the Chicago tal- lies.

Leaf-s held a 3-1 lead at the end of the first period and both teams scored once in the second. Then Roy Conachcrs third-period conn- ter brought Hawks to within one goal of the winners before Chicago's outburst of penalties.

The penalty parade started when Jlnr Oonacher - no relation to Ray or his famous bi-others. Chuck and Lionel-was sent off for slashing. Before play got" under way again, Eddie Leier was penalized for delay- ing the game when he started to argue with referee Hugh McLean.

Izeiei-'s sentence riled Roy Con- acher, who told Mt-Lean so in some strong language and was tagged with a game misconduct pmalty.

Smith's first-period goal and the two final ones by Lewicki and Rent- ley were scored with the Hawks short-handed. All the other scoring was with both clubs at full strength.

Chicago lost. Bcdnar mid-way through the third period when he was checked in the Chicago end and fell heavily into the boards. He was carred off the ice unconscious and taken to hospital with I. slight con- cussion.

Hospital attendants today said his condition was satisfactory.

APPRECIATION OF ISLANDEBS TEAM

Mr. sports Editor:

I have listened to many people say from time to time how great I hockey team we have representing our Island in the Big 4 Leatue. but 1 have never seen any letters to the press giving their reasons land I feel if what I say is nearly correct. we will have mo-re interested fans telling you the same thing. and better still. we will have more fans at the hockey games.

You know. if someone came to me last summer and said we would have one of the best teams in the Big 4. I -wouldn't have believed it. yet. there is no denying this fact. secondly you can see how imposs- lbln it is for us to have such I won- derful team if we don't go to the games. Twenty players weekly sal- aries and the cost of transportation to the other three cities each week. and the club's expenses. is no small sum. and if you only attend one game ll. week, then you don't. want this classy style of -hockey we've seen all winter, Take the lust Hal- ifax garme - I do not know when I have seen a better game any- where. Sure. we lost by one goal but whats that,-one team had to lcse and how many were there?- about 1.m. Well. that's not enough and if you really want good hockey. you must attend. Most. firms do not care who is ahead in the scoring and assists as long as a player plays the game and you name one fellow on our team who hasn't: given his all at all the games. and I just miss- ed one on New Years night. and I had good reasons. Most fans do not care who is called the most popu- tar man on the team either. I think from what I can hear they are all popular. Take for example when they heard Bob Gray and Richard- son were going to leave. They -wanted them left here. Why?. be- cause our people like all the boys and why not? - they have never yet. let. this city down on any of their trips to the other Maritime centres. They have kept the name of Charlottetown clear of criticism and this in brief is worthy of our highest thanks and praise.
