Navy And All Stars Scheduled To Meet In League Game Tonight
City Hockey league competition will resume its scheduled play at the Charlottetown Forum tonight when the Summerslde All Stars clash with (he League-leading Charlottetown Navy in a regular City League fixture.
The game will be the opening feature after a more than two week layoff during the festive season and will launch the i949 hockey schedule on its way.
Although (he players have had a lengthy layoff. bo(h'(eanls are expected to hit (he ice tonight with every intent of furthering, their positions in the League stand- ing and despite (he fat-t that the‘
Tar: have proved t“ ‘vu I rugged band of pucksters to beat, the fact that they went down w defeat for the first time this sea- son before the fast skating P.W.C. Welshmen at their last meeting proves that they are by no means invulnercble, and (here is no know- ing what the filial results of (o- ziights tussle will be when they come to grips with the determined bunch of hockeyists from the Western Capital.
In any event, the game should produce plenty of action and one worthy of launching the City Hockey League on its last lap of a successful hockey season.

Boxing-Video Battle May Come To llead
. (By llfurray Rose)
LONDON, Jan. 3~—(AP)——Tlie box- ing-television controversy over the effects of video on fight gates may come (o a. head this month when three better-than-fair shows will bu presented in Madison Square Gar- dent.
The 20th Century Sporting Club completed its January program for tile Garden by signing lightweight champion Ike Williams and welter contender Kid Gavilan of Cuba for a IO-round non-title fight, Jan. 28. This fight will have an important bearing on the welter title should champion Ray Robinson give up his CYOIKII.
Friday there is a 10-round middle- weight clash between Robert Ville- main, unbeaten French 158-pounder. and Steve Belloise, hard-hitting Bronx contender.
For Jan. 14, Harry Markson, man- aging director of the 20th, has lin- ed up three of the most promising youngsters in the business, welter- weight Vince Foster of Omaha,- lightwelght L'lil Arthur King of Toronto and heavyweight Roland La Starza of New York.
All three made good in sensa- tional fashion in semi-final bouts in the Garden. Foster will take on Tony Pellone of New York.
King will match his flashing left liontl against browling Willie Belt- TUTTI.
The Wiiliams-Gavilon return is (he topper. The two met last Feb- ruary in the Garden and fought 10 action-packed rounds. Williams won the unanimous decision, but by nar- row edges of two 5-4-1 votes and one 6-4 ballot.
A crowd of 14,907 paid $67,561 to see that show. The card was tele- vised but since (hen well over 100.- 000 television sets have been sold in the metropolitan area alone. This show will be televised, too. as (he 20th is under contract for all its programs until May 3.
“This rise in the cost of living un- doubtedly has hurt sport gates all over." Markson said. "It's too early yet (o toll what effect video has on the whole situation."
The managers agree that “the
dough ain't around like it used to bc,” but disagree entirely with Markson on video. _ They say loudly and heatedly that it murders the gate of the fight be- ing televised. They say it doesn't pay enough. Main go fighters get around $225 each for Garden shows while (he prelim boys don't cut in at all.
‘Andlwhatll more, they declare, video is ruining the smaller clubs uithin reach of the stations televis-
ing big time shows.
1f the gates continue to drop, there may be fireworks, especially from the managers.
