Look at the results of the last four games played. In the two Saturday night games, Halifax" had to stretch their resources to the limit to nose out saint John Beavers. while at the same time the cellar dwelling Moncton Hawks were giving Islanders a real battle that ended in in 3-3 deadlock after :1 scoreless 10 minutes of overtime play. 1 . . Swapping opponents, it was the same thing all over again on Mon- day nigltt at Moncton and Saint Jchn rinks. Halifax won their game hy a one-goal margin when they shaded Moneton 5-4. while once again Islanders went into overtime for a 3-3 draw with Saint John Beavers as the opposing force. In the Saints-Hawks clash, Halifax held a 3-0 lead at the end of the first. 4-1 at the end of the second, but had a tough time cling- ing to their three goal lead in the closing session when Moncton tu.'n- cd on the limit. to outsccre the 1-laligoniaiis 3-1 to fall short of the mark by one tally. . . . Talking the lead in each of the three periods, Islanders were forced into overtime by Beavers when they eiened the count in each frame by getting the equalizer that limited both teams a goal per period. Bat- tling through ten minutes of over- time play. neither team were able to break into the scoring to end the dcadlo:-k that saw Islanders finish up with their second tie game in a row. and their fourth this 5E&.'i0Il. Taking a look back at the game previous to the two mentioned above. Islanders battled to a ter- rific 4-3 losing cause to Halifax here on Friday night. and the night previcus to that. Moncton lost it 4-3 verdict to Beavers. Tie games and one goal victories! Well, they just don't come any closer than that. and involved every team meeting the other in the process. . . . Once again ardent Island curlers were obliged to take off their hats in the fine display of curling that the high school entlmisiasts have turned in here over Friday. Satur- day and Monday during the hold- ing of their Provincial champion- ship bonsplol at the Charlottetown Club. And from all accounts, the veterans of the game have been pleased to do just that. with four rinks competing. two from this City and two from Summersluc. the boys more than demonstrated their prowess in the art of the "roaring game" and came up with n keenncss and quality of curling that would do justice to enthusiasts much their senior. . .

But it was not without a. really stiff bottle from the other representative rinks, particularly the other City entry skipped by Bai-rie MacDonald. scoring 1 major upset in Friday's opening matches, the youthful MacDonald rink won both of the afternoon and even- in; matches to be the only rink to remain undefeated up to that point. I I I - The Cameron rink. the defending champions, rallied back strongly in Saturday's matches, however, to garner R. close one-point victory over the Alexander Campbell rtnk from summerslde and then so on to take an equally close win from the leading MacDonald rink. to deadlock tthe series between the two City entries going into the final round. In fact they won both matches over the Campbell and MacDonald rinks by identical scores of 8-7. 0 I C In the final round. held on Man- day. the two city teams came up with another terrific battle that had spectators holding their breath, with the Cameron rink finally gar- nering the winning verdict by I. 0-8 margin despite the fact that the MacDonald fcursame blanked them out 2 and 1 in the last two ends. The Cameron rink represent- ed the Province at the Dominion competitions at Quebec last year where they made 3 highly ingres- slvo showing, and ardent curlers and fans here will be wishing them luck again this year when they invade Nelson, 3.0. in search of Dominion recognition.
