With several games and a lot of hard workouts under their belts Rangers will have a. complete line- "D on hand for tonight's en-

. counter and 1f tl~_-_ bays are as kind as they have been in some of their practices of late then Charlottetown fan; can confident- ly look forward to their team drawing first blood in what prcm- {sesto be a bitterly fought ser- cs.

O O O For the most part it will again be a band of Summersido veterans meeting a team chock full of youth and the ambition to go fai- along the playdown trail. Youth always, is put in the favorite posi- tion but- fans are reminded oi what happened only last seas-en, when the veterans. belying the hockey s that they had ready put behind them not only captured the Island- title but put up a great fight in their succeed-r lng playoff matches.

Such may be the cue again this season. It is far from impossible and Rangers are not treating the Crystals lightly. ineed they haw no reason to. i\‘..‘»""g by pest performances anti that is the rea- son whv this writer is of the op» lnion that fans are in for one of their finest hockey seasons in" the past several years.

O O

And Rangers are worthly of all the sirrr-"rt that can be given them. When the team was formed the bays out everything they had into drevelcping into one of the best squads in recent years and right today they are still heart and soul int-o it. so fans if you want to see a team really go out and fiwht b“. sure and take in the Is» land lrarnie vames this season the first game scheduled for Charlotte- town bemg Plat/Fe: night next.

It was the original intuition of the team ho charter a special train for t"nl"ht's "Q1716 but this has been change-i it was learn-ed last night. The Ieamwiil now so bv bus and as there are accom- micdations for fars those who wish h take the game in had better fret their reservations in early as IDace will be at a nremium.

O O O

Rangers face a busy week. In addition to tonight's game they are scheduled to play in Souris Wednesday night and then back here against the Crystals on IPri- day. It 1s a tough schedule but the team is in such fine shape that they will be well able to stand up to it.

Facts Show Curling _N0 Mean Sport

When you speak of the iron- men of sport don't forget the hum- ble curler. A few of the more mathematically uninded members of the local club took time out during the weekend to survey the amount of "rock" tossed up and down the ice in the can-ent- series for the club championship. They came up with a comentary which would make even the dour facial expression oi a chain-gang guand wreaiin smiles.

After due calculation it was de- cided that when i-he series in ooh- cluded the later part of the week each member cf each competing rink will have handled some six tom of stone-a lot of weight in any sport.

HOW THEY I-‘IGURED

The six ton figure in reached a- long these lines. Bach la er plays two “rooks" each wegh ng between 40 and 4s pounds. He lays them for lfl-ends which

ngs the total number of pounds played to around 1.000. l-le curls in l2-games which makes the fig- ure 12.000. or six ton.

One could go further. There are four men to a rink. Hence each rink would total M-tona And still further. there are seven rinks in the tournament which would make the grand i-otal something like 1l68~ton of rock played in the ser- es.

MASCULXNE VIEWPOINT ONLY

But wait that isn't all. The sweeping -and it's a vital factor in the game —done by each mem- ber of each rink had the deliberm" tors puzzled but the masculine viewpoint was that, it would be equal to the daily rounds of a diligent and dutiful wife in a ten room house.

The friction angle. and mental and physical energy exhausted had the calculators stumped. It was finaliv agreed it should be loft to a curling commission of physical professors of the fact-founding in- stitui-ions,

Despite all that has been said to the contrary nnvone who has but curled will sg“ that it is an
