Canadian-Born HalIbaCk Leads Big 4 Scoring Race
TORONTO (CP) — Bill Bewley,
Canadian . born halfback with 'Montreal Alouettes who plunges, catches passes and kicks con- verts and field goals, has hopped into the Big Four football union scoring race lead.

WELL, THE PROPOSED Island Hockey League got knocked cold Sunday afternoon and in its place at the moment we have
exactly nothing.
After the first two meetings we attended we are not sur- prised at anything. Never have we heard so much talk. and so little action as at those two sessions. It was most unsatisfactory and we felt sure that nothing good could come of it.
AT THE FIRST get-together.
Saint Dunstan's. Parkdale and
Summerside agreed to participate in an Island Hockey League. The meeting adjourned for a week to see if one or two other loans from the Charlottetown area would join the fold. The next mtcmig was chabs. Summerside and Saint Dunstan’s still wanted to go along with their decision of the previous week but they had nobody else who appeared interested. Talks of a City League were brought up and that idea was kicked around for about two
hours with no success.
Finally—just before the meeting broke up—-there was assu-r- ance that Charlottetown would ice three teams (that included
Parkdale). That with S.D.U.
and Summerside was what the
doctor ordered. Steering committee members and team ‘repre- sentatives agreed to meet Sunday November 2 and get the
league on a working basis.
V
Some of them met, but it was strictly no go.
WE FEEL THAT players have a perfect right to say whether or not they (have this league or that league. Nobody has the right to tell players (that they must perform. If they don’t want to play hockey. that‘s nobody‘s business but their own.
However. we do feel that quite a few did want to play and that the failure of the proposed league was engineered by a
few. They argued that teams for an Island League, yet
Charlottetown couldn‘t work up three
in the same breath they talked
about a four-team City League that they were certain would
attract customers. If we could
not get enough players to ice
three teams from the Charlottetown area in an Island League, how come we could do it if we were opera-ting a City League?
AT ANY RATE, we are not disappointed that the league didn’t go. Mind you. if we thought that all were 100% behind it, we would have been delighted to see it swing into action. But when we saw and heard what was going on. we knew that no league could be a success under those circumstances. Although
Summerside worked strenuously
to bring the league into being,
we feel that they are lucky not to be tied up with something that
had
such Charlottetown opposition. No
league could achieve
Success with feeling the way it was. Why the feeling had to be that way, we don‘t know. But it was. Make no mistake about
that.
THE SPORTS ARENA opening is two weeks away. and we believe (that Charlie Hogan will put out the welcome mat at Civic Stadium about the same time. It’s more than two weeks
ago that the first attempt‘was
made to get hockey organized
for 1958-59 and after that time, the results are hardly what you
would term enthusiastic. Perhaps.
to discard this Island League,
however. those who worked will make better progress at
organizing something that‘s more to their- liking. We sincerely hope so. because there are a lot of hockey players around that are just (craving for action. Perhaps, now that they have beaten down the opposition, they can make rapid strides on the project (hey want the most. What does puzzle us, however. is the fact that not one thing was done about the coming hockey season until an Island League was proposed.
WE ARE OF the opinion that this talk of an Island League wasn’t a waste of time after all. At least it aroused a.lot from their slumber and made them realiZe that the hockey season was knocking at the door. Now there‘s a chance that even at this late date something may happen that will provide players and fans with their usual winter pastime.
Let‘s hope so.
THOSE
BOSTON BRUINS are really breathing down the
necks of othe Canadiens. With each team having played twelve games. the Canadiens hold a slim one point edge over the Bean-
towners.
The Stanley Cup champions have won seven and tied two. good for 16 points. Bruins have six wins and three ties to make
their 15 point total.
\
Thore’ll be no change in the standings until next Saturday night. that is as far as the Canadiens and Bruins are concerned. Neither team sees action until then. In fact the only National Hockey League game before that, is tonight when [the Chicago Black Hawks play host to the slipping New York Rangers.
IF THE CANADIENS want to be sure of remaining in first place, they must beat- the Rangers in Montreal Saturday. While this action is taking place, Boston has a date at Maple Leaf Gardens. Considering Toronto's low standing, you would think this would be a soft touch for the Bruins. But the past three
Saturday night, the Leafs have
been anything but hospitable.
They have slapped Boston, Detroit and New York in succession for their only points of the season. They have yet to win on the ro:::l but Billy Reay's charges are at their best come Saturdayl
nights.

before they lake

LONIDON — George Marshall, goalkeeper of Hearts of Edin- burgh, found himself a Scottish internationalist for a period of 2 hours when the selectors chose their team to meet the British Army XI. As soon as the team was announced, sports writers telephoned the SEA headquarters like a swarm of bees. Marshall, they pointed out, was an English- man under International rules. Although his parents were Scot- tish, and he had lived all but the first three weeks of his life in Scotland, he was actually born at Earnham in Surrey. So he was quickly struck off the team. and replaced by Celtic's goal- keeper, Dick Beattie. Some‘new blood was introduced into the team to meet the Amy, and it will line up as follows:
Beattie (Celtic); Caldow. ()Ran gers) and Wilson (St. Mirren); Mackay (Hearts); Gabriel (Dun- dee) and Cumming (Hearts); Herd (Clyde); Ran-kin, Airdrie; Herd (Arsenal); Law (Hudders- field) and McFarland (Patrick Thistle). " ARSENAL STARTS CHOSEN
By a last minute change of the date for the game between Arsenal and Italian champions, ervetntus, three stars of Arsenal were made available to play for Scotland in the important Irish international game on Nov- ember 5. Juventus will now come to Arsenal on November 26. which is a blow to Wales, who will not have the services of their out- standing star, John Charles, who is the mainstay of the Juventus team, in their game against Eng- land on that date.
With the way cleared for-the three Arsenal players to be in- cluded, the Scottish selectors have chosen the same team which beat Wales (by 3-0. It is as follows:
Brown. (Dundee): Grant (Hib- ernian) and Caldow (Rangers): Mackay, captain (Hea 5); Tom- er (Kilma-rnvock) and ocherty (Arsenal) Legga-‘t (Fulham); Col- lins (Eiverton) Herd (Arsenal); Laiw (Huddersfield); and Hender- son (Arsenal).
The Irish team will have Up- richard of Portsm-ount in goal, instead of Harry Gregg of Man- chester United. Gregg was chos- on to play’ for Lreland against Spain, but called off because he refused to fly to Spain with the team. Gregg was one of the Man Chester players injured in"the Munich airplane crash last spring. The Irish team chosen is as follows:
Uprichard (Portsmount): Keith (Newcastle) a nd MclMichael (Newcastle) ; Blialnclhflower (Tot- tenham ) Cunningham (Leicester) and Peacock (Celticz) Bingham (Luton): Cuxsh (Leeds); Simpson (Rangers) Mclnroy (Burnly) and McParlJand (Aston Villa).
BRINGING ON YOUNGSTERS
The Matt Busby plan for the development of young Scottish players. with an eye on the World Cup series of 1962. is to be put into e-fifect next week. A team of young players, all in the under a 23 class, has been chosen to go to Tumberry to train along (with the (team chosen to meet Ireland. This team of youngsters, most of them in their late teens, is as follows:—
Boattie (Celtic); MaciKay (Cel- tic) and Wilson (St. Mirren): Burns (Aberdeen) ; Gamer I Dunn- dee) and Baxter (Ruth ROVbers) Hunter (M‘otherwell); Little (Alb- erdeen); St. John ()Mohhenwell);

First, Kearns wants a “neutral referee" and he dug into some of the most colorful pages of box- ing's history to come up with names —- Jack Dempsey, Georges Carpentier and Rocky Marciano. ONCE DEMPSEY’S MANAGER
“This is 'a world championship fight and Archie will be meeting practically a, local boy," said Kearns.
“I know when I suggest Demp- sey I’ll be told: ‘What the devil are you talking about? You once managed Dempsey.’ A
“So then I’ll suggest Carpentier and if they won‘t go for the great. Frenchman then I‘ll settle fOr Marciano."
As if that kind of talk wasn’t i m p r e s 5 iv e enough, Kearns switched to money-«$150,000 of it.
“I‘m telling promoter Eddie Quinn that he should match the winner of the Moore-Durelle fight with Ingemar Johansson of Swe- den,” Kearns went on.
