Queen Square the chal- lengers nre already one game up but. clue to the crowded conditions at the l-‘orum no word has been forthcoming as to oven l. possible date for the next game.

Fav- orites in all three sections hove been upset by rinks that were given little chance lt the outset but notwithstanding this the local representatives, if they can clmc through with tho some brand of curling they have been displaying will afford strong competition when pitted against rinks from Summcrside, Montalgue and A1- bcrion.

Olympic Idea Takes Beating

(By The Associated Prom)

LONDON. Feb. 5—'I'hc Olympic idea, according to newspapers in two different cﬁltals, has taken a beating at St. Moritz.

“The games. are staged only to give the hotels the opportunity of exploiting the visitors," reported tho St. Moritz correspondent of the Copenhagen newspaper Soc- ialdemokraten. "Wherever you go in St. Morliz you will see hands

_ stretched out for a. tip.

"Ibo Olympic idea. has changed into a. gold mine which is exzplolt- ed by the sharpest means. Rich Americans make the gold stream and see nothing of the Olympic games but the bars and dancing rooms."
