A Toronto paper carries the story of how the driver Floyd Milton came to take up harness racing. Floyd is one of the tops in Canada and the U. S. A. and owners place a great deal of con- fidence in him. 1t appears that he was a car dealer and had to like a mare as part payment on s new car. That was when cnr dealers had to chase customers It turned out to he a bad bargain but it put Floyd in the harness horse game. He allowed his ous- tomer $150. for the mare and when he got back to his showroom in Drumbo, Ontario, his partner said. "Floyd, you have been gyp- pod, she is worth about s75", and it turned out to be right but Floyd got so darn mad he quit the oar business and wont into the horse game. It was tough sledding and it was not until he had been 19h Years in it, that is to say i936. that he could show a profit.

Floyd aptly puts it: "A caretaker can make you a good or bad driver. It de- pends on whether he keeps your horse in shape. A fellow has also got to figure in this game and never be caught napping Just to give you an instance. a man sent me a stallion to train and I for- got and carne up behind him as the boy was walking him.

Charlottetown, Septpmhgr 12th in a Free For All that in- iiarnley Holds Kensington Legion T0 Tie Playing IJEIOIIB upwards of 300 rabid, hockey fans at the Kenning- ton rink lass night, the Darniey Black Hawks fought the Kensinl- ton Legion to a 3-3 tie. The garnb produced the fastest hockey of the season, and it looks as if at least one of these teams. if not both, will be around when the silverware is passed out at the conclusion of the season. _ The game was very cleanly play- ed, only two minor penalties being i r ‘, both going to the Legion. For the Hawks, E. MacKenzie end G. Woodside were the most effec- tive, both turning in stellar par- formancea, while for the Legion, J’. Bernard and I. MacNeili kept the Hawks’ goalie busy on their numer- ous forays into Huwk territory. The following are the lineups: Darniey: Goal, E. Woodside; de- fence, C. MacKenzie, B. Macken- zie, J.

The following week he raced in the $1,000.00 Free For All at Cove- head, September 19th. that proved one of the greatest Free For Alls raced in this Province in recent years. The first heat still consti- tutes the track pacing record at ivent. n magnificent race and many believed that had he drawn the pole he would have won. As it, was he forced Johnny Campbell to givc the Chuck Worthy horse one of the drives of his life. Chuck Worthv i-i-1. True Hal 2- 2-5. Tip Abbe 3-3-2, Harry Direct 4-5-3. Joility‘ 5-4-4.

We do not know whether it is the purpose of 1W1’, La-Pointe to race True Hal but. if he does he has a. perfect mannered horse with extreme speed. but it may be his intention to place him in the stud as there seems to be a great da- mand for stallions sired by I-Ial Dale 2.02, premier sire at Two Grits Farm, Indianapolis.

Curling News From Montague 0n Wednesday night the final playoff game for the right to rep- resent the Montague Curling Club at the Regal trophy junior play- downs at Aiberton on Wednesday, was held between I-lai-ry Higgin- botham and C.J. Boudreault. Members who were watching ‘were treated to s splendid performance as both teams fought for the de- cicling game. H. Higginbotlliam took the first game 10-6 but Boud- reaull. came right back to take the second 12-5. Every member of each team was playing to the best of his ability to take the final gnome. At the halfway mark Boudreault was leading and than with a five-end shOt pulled ahead i0 make the score 12-5, but Higgin- hothnm came right back to take a d-cnd and e fi-end in the 8th and 9th round to tie the score. The last end was on, and the sprcta- tors were by now chewing pipe stems, cigars, and their next door neighbor in the excitement. Each shot was played to perfection in the club room, is each player on the ice made his shot. Finally the skips went down. Higginhotharn laid his stone inside to make two counicrs. Boudreault shot and missed. Higginbothnm w c n t through the front to lay in three counters. The final shut was on. saryl Let’s Just Frame It. ‘Says lieddy . . .

N, the Saints hoop team defeated P_W.C. 75-24. Nice going. fellows! On Monday, however, it seems that the hockey team didn't click so well, with a 0-6 trimming handed to us by the Navy. This game saw the debut of rugged young Cliff Bernard of Tignish. Cliff’ is already well-known in Island hockey as the star of last year's Maritime juvenile champs, the Summerside Kinsmen team. Sunday afternoon witnessed much military movement on the campus as the C.O.'I‘.C. and the University Naval ‘Training Divis- ion (U.N.T_D.) formed up in front of Memorial Hall and marched to the rink where the two clashed in one of the most brilliant dis- Plfl-ys of hockey seen in the rink this year. ‘Ilhe three-star selec- tion. by popular consent, is as follows: i/Lt. L. F. Atkins, R..O_ A., I/Lt. Vince MacDonald. RC; 1.0., Able-bodied (t) Seaman Dan Driscoll of the Navy. The game ended in a 2-all tie. The big “do" of the week was, of course, the Senior Prom, given by the senior clans in honor of the juniors (class of ’50)_ The concensus is that this was the best formal yet. Everybody seem- ed to enpy himself to the utmost. ‘nu Prom committee is to be congratulated on the good ongan- ization which made the dance so successful. The committee mem- bore were Bill lsedwell, Leo Ai- kins. Justin Gavin, Lorne ‘Trainer, and Ethel Trainer. They would like to extend their thanks through this column to all those who helped in any way. The chaperones were Mrs. Ray- mond Praught, Mrs. Frederick MaoMillan and Mrs HowardMac- Innis. Music was by the Down- towners. A lunch was served by the Junior League. Not many students had any comment for the press regarding the prom. but. Paul “Falstaff” Landrigan blissfully stated, "Did we have a great time, the old Auburn and I!" "Grunt" Mullin is worried about his roommate, "Doc" Slnnoit. It seems the Doc has been talking in his sleep quite a bit. since the Prom. All that can be understood are the ucrds. “itsy-bitsy Fitzy". Looks bad. Doc.
