George stated that he is anxious to get the juniors started as soon as possible, and that will be just as soon as the cinder track at Memorial Field is dry enough to start working out on. I I I In discussing the outlook and possibilities as far as the Abbies are concerned this season. team- captain Waiters believes that the team's chances in Maritime com- petition lcok pretty good if the boys who have been performing title last night, defeating Tilon- Wm) ""3 Squad d””l"g ”".135l sburg Chevwoods 9-1 to win the coulole of years are available series 34 in um”. The other again this year. In the four ma- Jor Maritime Track and Field meets last year, the Abbies took I first and three seconds, and came up with a senior mile relay team that was unbeaten in all four meets. 0 I I George feels. however, that the team needs strengthening in the field events. a department that was short-handed in competition last year. They never had entries in many of the events, which if they had. might have picked up the necessary points that could have easily made up the difference be- tween a first place instead of a second. The Abbies only lost out to Antigonish by four points in defence of their Maritime title at Amherst last year. I I I His solution to this problem is the developing of new talent. par- ticularly ln the jnniqr group, and is anxious to see new blood take an interest in the sport, and is prepared to give of his experience and time to foster this develop- ment. 'There are plenty of husky youngsters going to school and college in the City right now.” Walters stated, ”that with a lit- tle training. would make good field men, if you co id just get them interested in ta ing it up." a . . We aereeinith him one hundred per cent on that score too. And what is more, we think that George is yust the mlm who can teach them if they are willing to learn. He has been a leading competit- or in Maritime field events for I number of years. and has held Maritime records in the Javelin throw and other events. Compet- ing with the Abbies last year, he held his own with the best of them, BN1 '8 Planning on taking an act- ive part again this year. . . . . Having had the opportunity of covering many of the events last season, this writer for one has seen plenty of promising material working out. Take for instance the Saint Dunstan's University an- nual track and field meet last year. We saw I number of boys taking part in different events. Just for the fun of it..in many cas- es, But they showed plenty of natural ability. There was one chap in particular, taking part in the high-jumps (WI have forgot- ten his name) who was in it right to the last few jumps, yet he told us afterwards, that he had never Jumped before in his life. Ability in the raw, and that is Just what is needed. Prr-per training and good coaching and up comes ano- ther promising athlete. I I I There will be two major events held here at Charlottetown this year as far as Maritime compet- ition ls conconu-d. It will be the Islands turn to sponsor the Mari- tima Track and Field Champion- ships, and although we are not sure of the date It the moment. it will probably be in July or August, while the Annual Invit- ation Meet will be held again on labor Day.

Canadian Sport Snapshots By not; McALEEIt (Canadian Press Staff Writer) TORONTO, April 27 - (CF) - Are United States sport bodies stifling international competition? When Spokane Flyers refused to play off with Chatham Maroons - Intemational Hockey League cham- pions - for the United states am- ateur title, it brought back mem- ories of similar occurrences to Jack (London Free Press) Park. "Some say international compet- ition is increasing." notes Park, "but. there won't be much progress as long as organizations in the United States maintain their pre- sent attitude. "In two out of the past three seasons, United States Congress baseball champs have refused to play off with the Canadian win- ners. They have given the same excuse .- that the season dragged too long." Other sports Too "we wouldn't he I bit surprised if Japanese swimmers, who won most of the United States titles this year and Korean marathoners. who dominated the Boston Marathon. were requested to stay home in the future." Jack says the Americans aren't the only offenders, however. He notes that after Barbara Ann Scott of Ottawa won the European fig- ure skating title, a new rule was written into the book forbiddini entrants from outside of Europe. "Then the Russians set up thclr own league for all sports. If the United states follows suit and enters into international compet- ition only when they are sure of winning, then you can fort!!!” 3501"- all kinds of world champs." g.:g,j.LLL..... orlsman pgxyzm Owalkr Rolled with . . .
