On soft ice which made effective combination plays almost imposs- ible, the Summersld K‘nsmen Juveniles outfought an All Star team of Juveniles from Charlotte- town. defeating them by the score of 4 to 0 in an exhibition hockey game at Sumrnerllde last night Dalziol in the Summerside nets was one big reason for the home team's margin of victory but the winners played a more aggressive game than their opponents in the stfackirlg zone.

Gordie McKay on the first string line got a brace of goals, flashing in very fasf after taking passes from he iinemate Becky. Lccky potted the third on a brcakway from the centre line leaving the visitors stranded up the ice to coast in and bang the rubber past Ward. The fourth goal of the eve- ning was the most spectacular. Early in the third period Dougay wrestcd the puck from s. Charlotte- town defenceman in front of the Charlottetown cage fell to his knees and shot the puck past Ward from that position.

The addition of the three important sophomores to the fold made the 47-playcr Brook roster 100 per cent signed-the earliest in modern history that the club had an entire team bound up in contracts.

So proud was he of this that the Mahatma of Montague Street ask- ed "are we the first club this sca- son 0r perhaps in any season to have the entire club signed by Feb.
