A slight change in the Big Four lineup sees R. R..,Beli playing second stone in place of Dr. H. McIntyre who this year skipped a rink to second place in flic local comps-ti- ll0ii. Summerside skipped by W. A. Currie will have the identical rink oi last year while Montagues rep- resentative headed by C. K. Wight- msn will be making their first ap- pearance here in. c_up play.

Just. how this year's edition of the squad will fare out in the schedule should be better known alicr those two gamcs are played. Saints were impressive as they look that 9-3 victory from St. Thomas and the win meant that today they are perched at the top of the heap with U. N.
