for the heauvweiglit championship of Prince Edward Island is the fea- ture attraction of this card and it is expected that fight enthusiasts from all parts of the Island will be present to see the battle be- tween those big fellows.

Harrison Ferguson of Summer- side, as shifty a boxer as any 0n the Island, will be pitted against Jack Russell of Charlottctownnn a semi-final. Russell's reputation for cleverncss and punching abil- ity has led some experts to pre- dict that Fergy, who has never been defeated in the ring, will meet his match in Russell. Cer- tainly the Summerside smoothie will have to step fast to keep ahead of his Charlottetown ad- versary.

Sport Snapshots

By BOB McALEER TORONTO, Nov. l5 _ (OP) - Have you ever pondered the "whammy" in sports? considered the idea of a. jinx following certain teams down a. perennial hard- luek trail?

The whammy is discuss ‘ by Milt (Toronto Star) Dunnell, with the added thought, Ottawa may have jinxed itself by its attitude 25 years ago when an Ottawa team won the Grey Cup in a walk. When the Rough Riders beat Winnipeg handily that year ‘n the Grey Cup final at Ottawa, only 4.500 fans attended the game. That lack of interest, implies Dunnell. might mean Ottawa has only it- self to blame for any hard luck along the Grey Cup trials.

"It irvas strictly no contest and there were howls that the west- East fiasco should be terminated unless the West could start drum- ming up something worthy of n trip from the wheat belt."

"Last year's battle with Calgary needs no rehnshlng," says Dunneil. "A fumble cost: Ottawa. the game 12-7."

Termite Quarterbacklng

Others hold that. it. wasnt the whammy which this year beat the Roughies but losing quarterback- lng. One who subscribes to the theory is Ralph (Toronto Tele- gram) Allen.

"Termites in the quarterbacklng caught up with another Ottawa football tenm Saturday." Allcn writes. "Whether its quarterback- lng was good, bad or indifferent is largely beside the point. It was losing quarlzerbacking."

School vs. Hockey

The relation of hockey to edu- cation has received a going over from Murray iMoose Jaw Times Herald) Brown, who concludes there isn't much weight to the argument that hockey is keepng youngsters from their classrooms.

"In certain sectors there ts much fuss raised from time to time about young fellows staying out of school to play or practice hockey." Brown says. "A number of org- anizations have taken i‘; the cry. In Winnipeg, according to school authorities themselves. only l0 scholars were absent because of hockey reasons. Hockey offers n future that even grade A students who excel at the game find diffic- ult; to shrug off."

The Juvenile Victories, last year's N. B.-P. E.,I. Juvenile hoc- key champions and runners-up for the Maritime crown, got in their first practice session of the season at the Forum yesterday afternoon. when a large number, bordering on the 30 mark. of both new and former aspirants for berthl Q fie team turned out.

a a a o

They of course, are just one o! the many teams in the minor lea- gues who will be turning out day by day to mould their icams into shape for the forthcoming hockey season, uil-ien leagues and teams ranging from juvenile right do\vn to the papcrweights will compete in the minor ranks under the De- partment of Physical Fitness this

winter.

0000

And with iihe Forum swinging! wide its doors at the start of this week to accommodate all the oth- er teams who will be competing in all sorts of leagues for their prac- tice sessions, which will constitute some 40 hours of practice sessions weekly, there will be a steady “back-to-hockey" movermen-t from now until the cnd of the season.

O O O However, the practice session, as always, is just the beginning of the real hockey, when following close in its wake will be the forming of leagues and schedules which will get roiling in earnest and all will be battling it out in closely con- tested series for the top honors in their particular leagues which will lead on to even bigger things such as Provincial and Maritime titles. of which. there ls no doubt, many of the Island teams will again capture their fair share as in the past.

O

The Charlottetown Aibegweit Amateur Athletic Association mem- bers wlll gather together this eve- ning at 7:30 in the Assembly Room of the City Hall when they will tender their annual reports for their past season's activities and elect their new officers and oom- mittees for the 1949-50 season, and lay their plans for the forthcom- ing hockey and basketball activi- ties, etc.

Always an ardent supporter of all types of amateur sporting activ- ity, the Abbie Club's annual meet- ing will not. only be one to review their past season's accomplish- ments, one which they might all well be proud of, as they met with much success in all of their sport- ing endeavours during the past twelve months, but will also serve to lay many of their plans for the future which deals mainly with the further development of the younger groups of athletes who will be the senior stars and solid citizens of tomorrow. O O O O

Basketfball is also starting to make its move towards the front of the sporting picture, with teams both in Summerslde and Charlotte- town already hitting the floor for their opening work-out sessions to get in shape and build up their squads for the opening of regular competition.

O O

‘Ilhe Prince of Wales College team, under coach Bob LeClair, held their first session yesterday over the auditorium floor. and ac- cording to all reports have all the prospects of flooring a smart team this year to compete in the Island Physical Fitness Basketball Lea-

gue. while other entries in last year's six-team league have also been getting in some tune-up

work on the Y. M. C. A. gym floor, with still others gathering their teams together so they can get

into action soon. .

no:

As far as can be learned at the moment, the Physical Fitness Lea- gue will be in operation again this season. and plans are being laid to hold an annual meeting soon to line up the various clulbs who are interested in competing again this year. as well as to appoint their league officials and make any oth- er adjustments er amendments nec- essary that might improve the working of the league over last season. Although admittedly, there will probably be little necenlty for many changes, as the league functioned in a highly successful manner last year and brought about some very smart basketball and keen colnpftitlon.

O O

There ls one factor that seems to be in the air at the moment. that if it becomes effective will be a change from last season, and that will be the breaking up of the league into two sections. This will mean that the local City ent- rlea will play u one division and the Summerlide teams as the oth~ er, with the winners of the two divlaioni meeting in the playoffs for the title. The object of the change is to cut down‘ the travel- ling between the two centres dur-

ing the regular schedule. This. however, il only a possibility at the moment, and will have to coma before the meeting for discussion before an! action il taken.

HAMILTON, Nov. 15 - (c?) —Hamllt¢on Tigers aren't kid- ding themselves about Sunday's

sudden-death Eastern Canada foot- ball final at Montreal against Alouettes. They realize they will be on the short end of the betting odds and that they'll probably have the toughest assignment of the season on their hands.

Playing-coach Merle Hapcs, 29- year-old former star with New York Giants and one-time team- mate of the Als‘ flinging Frankie Filchock, will do his master-mind- ing from the bench owing to a shoulder injury.

He had his Ontario Football Rugby Union champions out for a brisk one-hour workout today and pronounced the club fit and ready for the some that- will decide the Eastern Grey Cup finalist.

The showing of the “Great. Dan Patch" this week at the Prince Edward Theatre will turn the pages of time back 43 years for Mr. Maluchias Callaghan of this City who saw the great pacer breeze the mile in 1:55 at Minnesota in 1906.

Mr. Callaghan was employed in Minnesota at the time t-he great horse paced the world's record- breiiking mile. It is possible that other islanders saw him perform but they must be few.

Dan's record shows in the book as 1:55 1-4, this mile (1155) not be- ing credited to him because he was behind a windshield. Dan's time the day Mr. Callaghan saw him race was: quarter in 28 l-4. half .57, three quarters 1.26 1-4, mile 1.55.
