F-'~" A « '7’ . yr‘ spoars * FRONT By PIUS CALLAGIIAN The Battle Rages THE battle continues to rage at Belvedere Gel: and Winter Club and the favorites are still in there fighting for that all- (im.-poitant b€'l‘ill'l in The Brier set for Oharlottetown Forum. 5 When we put Sponts Front to bed._ it wasn't safe to niake any predi ‘on on who might be fighting it out in the nnal bracket. Many are figiirinig that Art Burke and Doug Cameron ‘are sure beta to taingle in the big one but funny things can hap- pen in curling championships. , . Burke’; great record in the Rendezvous competition sure .l»y stamp him as a top competitor. Doi experience and cool- lness under pressure always make him a favnntr in anv special he enters. We will never forget. that crucial battle between these two rinks a couple of years ago. Burke wassijt supposed to come through on that occasion but he did in striking fashion and off he went to The Brier. However, last year. Cameron regained his crown and this season he has looked great in these TV television shows from Winnipeg and Toronto. Undoubtedly Doug and his rink members have gained much valuable experience from these games with the curlers in the country. Just to prove to those who were watching that curling is done right here on the Island, Cameron beat the great Ernie Richarldson in one of these engagements. . . Having A Great Time THEY are having a great time of it playing their intermed- -iate ‘B’ and ‘C’ -owns under the hockey conunittee of ms llsland branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada. ‘ These playoffs appear to increase in populaniy each ‘/ear and players and their fans are dead serious about the battles. Communitiies get solidly behind their outfits and all other sports ‘results are secondary once these playdowns get 1'o~' g. It's a most necessary part of rural life during these winter ‘_months and it surely makes the community a more friendly spot in which to live. . I 1 Midgets And Juveniles JUVENILE and midget hockey clubs in this province wili get their playoffis I-3-°ing shortly. T teams from smaller centres feel that: can't cope with boys from Charlottetown and Summerside and last season they (asked the MAHA representatives to set up an ‘A’ and ' bracket. Their request was granted and the same practice will be continued this season. In the ‘A’ bracket Charlottetown is at Summerside in juvenile play on March 9 and the teams return to the Island cap- ital for the final game of the two-game total goal series on March 14. The Island winner plays a sudden death game at the rink of the New Brunswick winner on ‘March 21. The Mari- time final lg set for the rink of the N.B.-P.E.1. champion on March 28 in the ‘B’ bracket of juvenile. Georgetown is al. Morel] on March 2 and the teams finish the series in Georgetown on March 5. That winner plays at Crapaud on March 9 and the fin- )al game of the ‘E’ series is at the home of the Morell-George- -town winner on March 12. All these ‘B’ series games are two- game total goal affairs. In midget play, Charlottetown and Summerside are still the only two in the division. Summerside is at Charlottetown géarch 21 and the teams end the series at Summerside on March The ‘E’ series of the midget playdowns will appear at si later date. ; O D I Is Mahovllch Going? i will Toronto Maple Leafs get rid of big 1-‘raiilr Mahovlich? There are rumors on the go that the club isn't happy with ‘;Frank’s performances. We did feel a bit sorry for the big fel- ‘low when he was interviewed last Saturday night .ApparcntIy (they are trying to make Mahovlich the goal of the Leafs’ slump. It's true he isn’t playing outstanding hockey but there are other guys there who aren't covering themselves with g‘lory.. We st ink he will show enough to make Leafs hold on 1 ( 1 H1) him.
