With Labor Day drawing near. twelve days to be exact. local sporting enthusiasts will soon have the opportunity of witnessing the leading track and field meet of the season here over Memorial Field. The big event is the Mari- time Tracir and Field champion- ships slated for that date. and will bring together the leading atnletin clubs and athletes of the three see- side Provinces in competition against one another for top team and individual honors. I I I Being sponsored by the Depart- ment of Physical Fitness in co-op- eration with the Abegweit Amateur Athletis Association. who are noted for their ability to arrange and carry out such events with th:- utmost efficiency, the meet has all the prospects of being one of top-notcli quality both from n standpoint of keen. activity and good sportsmanship as well as smart sporting enter- tainmeut. C I Islanders of course. are pinning their hopes on the Abbies to come through with the bacon this year to regain the Maritime title they held two years ago. but lost to the Antigonish Highland Society ac Amherst last year by a narrow four points. They are capable of doing just that too, providing they can get some of last years stars back in harness again. who for var- ious reasons, have not been able to perform with the local squad so far this season. 0 I I Although the Abbie representat- ives. who have had to rely on most of their power from the junior ranks this year. have lfeen making good showings to date in the cur- rent season. they need that point getting support of such men as Dave Boswell. Walter "Windy" Le- Page, Jackie Brown and Billy Purcell. to put them over the top in the stiff competition they will have to contend with at the Mari- time Meet. I I I Boswell and Le-Pane. for in- stance. have been two of the Abbles leading stars in thrsprlnt departtmcnt for the past three or four years. Boswell specializing in the quarter and half divisions and LePage in the 100 and 220 yard events. and teaming up to- gether. have formed the driving force behind the senior mile re- lay team. that in four major Maritime" meets last. year. never once were beaten. I I I Both Brown and Purcell also excellent point izetters in the sprint department but all with the exception of Boswell. have not been in competition so far this season. Boswell took part in one event. when he fill- cd ii gap on the relay team here on Dominion Day. to run a smart quarter and help put the Abbie sound on the winning end of that event. if these boys can be brought. back into harness for Labor Day. to team up with the other existing top Abbie athletes such as Wendell Barrett. John Cash. Bob Jay. George Walters. Bob Naylor. Cullen DeLory and others. it is this writer's opin- ion, and many others too. thnt they are the team that can do the trick. are But of course some of these boys have had just reason for not competing. Boa-well. for instance, who represented Daibousle Uni- versity at the British Empire Trials last summer. suffered a severe leg injury last fall while performing with the rugby squad of that University. while LePage early last winter had to undergo a rather serious operation. But to all apparent appearances, both these boys are looking in com- petitive form right now. and it is hoped that they will be able ....-LCL...L..-....- Iiwan's Mobile Movie Showing This Week "Under Nevada Skies" -Starring- Roy Roger; Gabbyj-Iayes comoetativc - THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN Horses Split Mainland and Island horses split leading win. honors at the Wed- nesday afternoon meet held over the Parkview Raceway, South Rustico. yesterday when two saint John.
