No Reason For Pessimism About Aces For A While Yet

The Aces have had their first Island League game and have been rather soundly thumped by the vis- lting Montague Primroses. The Aces are probably in better con- diiion than when they pened league play last year. b their last year's initial showing was bet- ter than this year's. What's the answer?

Well. there is no reason for pessimism for a while longer at least. Syl Bernard was absent from the defence corps for one thing. and we remember his ah- nence from games last year in- variably meant rather lop-sided defeats. Not to say that our other rearguardsmen are not capable. They are. But Grant Grady. Eus- tace Reeves and lton MacArth- ur are all the rushing type of de- fenceman- They are geared for attack. as it were. and need a

ating rushes. Too often Tuesday night Montague forwards had only one man to best. and when . Bub Bowling is the pucii-carry- i in forward a one-man defence i is inst a prop for Bobby to go i into his puck-wizardry act with. l

On the attack the Aces had a lot of close calls around the Mon- tague net. Seems to aswc've heard that refrain somewhere before. Whether lady luck is wholly re- sponsible for these near misses is a moot question. They say when a big league pitcher hasn't got his control. it's a matter of inches. The pitches that should cut the
