Should they ,dlsplay the same Speed afoot and scoring punch in tonight's setio, Navy will be in for thc toughest kind of game. A de- feat won't do Navy morale any good either for they would lose s chance of taking over undisputed leadership of the league and leave the way open for the University team to take command in their ep- pearance against the Army next Saturdsy night.

"Toe-y" Richards, flashy for- ward of last year's Maritime champions, the Sumrnerside Kins- nren Juveniles. will be ln uni- form for the first time this year when they meet the Juvenile Rovers of Charlottetown in Sum- mersldo on Friday night. “Toey" has been living for the past few months in Saint John. N. B. and has decided to come back to the Island for a while.

The Sumrnerside team is Just rounding into condition and with this addition to their forward lines should be a much stronger team than on last Friday night when they went down to defeat before the Charlottetown Kinsmen Juveniles by a. score of 4 to 2.

The hockey program on Friday night will be of the doubleheader variety and the newly organized

Sllmmersidc Kinsmen Midgets, coached by Harry Dickie, will make their first appearance

against the Charlottetown Knotty- Nlncrs. Reports received are to iirc effect that they have a lot of good hockey material and it will lrn interesting to ‘see llreiir in action for tlrc first time-S.
