Results of racing on the Grand Circuit for 1948 show that Doc Parshail made a great comeback and led all other drivers with 5B wins. The Canadian driver Ralph Baldwin was the top money-wln- uing driver and was second to Pal-shall with 45 wins and our own Joe O'Brien was next with 39 wins.

Recently We asked for the breed- ing of Miss Jo Hanover 2.10M’ and two correspondents sent it to us in full.

A glance at the above list of nearly all Island bred pacer-s will be interesting to many.

sron-rsQ-rso

Saint Dunstairs University hoc- key squad were forced out of Mari-

time Intercollegiate hockey com- petition herc Thursday night at one of the earliest stages for them Ln u good number of years when they lost out to the Saint Thomas University pucksiers by the round score on the home and home series of 13-11, after having won the final game here by a score of 6-5. o - . .

Having made a splendid showing during the past two seasons. in which they were tlic Maritime In- tercollegiate champions in 1946-47 and the N.B.-P.E ‘f. intercollegiate champions in 15147-118. to enter into pliiy this year as the defending champions, tlicy had a stroke of had luck when they lost the tem- porary services of three of their regular squad in the persons of Cart McDonald. Mike llennessey and Jimmy Ayers on the eve of their opening competition against St. fliomas in the first section of Intercollegiate play.

- . - o

Making the best of the situation. however. the depleted S1111’. team entered into ilie competition against Si. Thomas nt Chathmn. NB. in

the first gninc of the home and home series ilicre last Tuesday night, where they lost out by a

score of 8 to 5. after putting up a determined fight which saw them hold a 4-2 advantage early in the second period. only to lose out to a hard fighting bancl of St. Thcvrnas pucksters in the final frame. o - o .

Taking to the ice here on Thurs- day night, with still high hopes of turning back the New Brunswick- ers despite their three-goal ad- vantage bv trying for a couple of quick goals to put things on more even terms. they saw their effort boomerang when early in the first period the St. Thomas crew bang- ed in two fast goals to make things even tougher.

- a

Despite the unfavourable odds. the S.D.U. boys still continued to fight on, and before (he period ended managed to end up with a 2-2 draw by the end of the period. only to lose ground again in the second canto when their opponents outshot them 2-1 to hold a 4-3 ad- advantage at the end of that time.

. - - .

The situation at this point was enough to dishearten the best of teams but not the Saints-who came driving back in the final canto to Outscore St. Thomas 3-1 to take the game by a 6-5 count. and come within an ace of getting the two other counters they needed to deadlock the series. when they con- tinued to swarm around the oppos- ing goal in the final minutes of play.

O O O O

Although the Saints are out of It now. and will have to bide their time for another year to get a crack at an Intercollegiate title, there certainly is one thing that should be said before closing about the wearers of red and white~they went into the fray as champions and they bowed out as such.

O O.

Abegweit baskeflball officials en- nounced yesterday that due to the fact that the Summerside RCA!‘ hoopsters are flying to Harmon Field. Newfoundland, for an ex- hibition game there on the week- end of February 25th., the double- header game in Island Physical Fitness competition scheduled for Saturday, February 26th. will be moved ahead to Wednesday. Feb. 23rd, and the game between P.W. C. and Ray's Millionaires scheduled for that date will be played on February 20th.

I O O O

It kind of looks like this column erred slightly in yesterday's issue when it stated that the Charlotte- town Abegweit Hockey squad would likely make a better account of themselves in their final game of the home and home series with the Ramblers at Amherst on Thursday night than they did against them here on Wednesday. Compared with the 17-6 walloping they received there Thursday night, their 4-2 de- feat here Wednesday becomes al- most unimportant. Losing the round by a total of 2i goals to eight, the Abbies are certainly going to pull up their socks if they expect to beat out the strong Amherst squad in the forthcoming playoff series.

Large Attendance At Queen Square School Sports Last Night

The Queen Square School annual ice spans held before a near capac- ity house at the l-‘oruin last evening. climaxed a series of three oi i116 most successful ice sports staged 1n the City during the last number of years.

The QSS. lads, number three on this year's list of City school sports. evenLs. certainly did not. suffer in popularity in being 1115!. \\'1i1\ 1881 night's attendance being equally as big, if not slightly bigger than the two preceding events.

The large list of events, which included some really snart, closely contested speed sltaiing as well as many novelty numbers such as a ski race, accuracy race and potato race etc., were run off smoothly and efficiently by the officials in charge, which added much to Ihc success of the evening.

Wins Championship

Young Clifford Gillis was award- ed the all around ciia-mpionship for the evening, with the speedy little skater garnering a total of 15 3-4 points on the night's activit- ies.

Although the Q.S.S. youngsters didn't fare out so well in their hockey tussle against the P.W.C.

Juveniles. who downed them by a score of B-l, the gamey, smooth playing little pucksters neverthe- less put up a really smart: battle against their lieavicr, more cx- perienced opponents, and at, times. particularly in the last lialf of the final period, really gave the Col- legians their hands full in keeping them at bay.

. The game was a wide-open, clean-

ly played affair with not one pen- willy handed out during the entire game, and produced scme really smart plays which resulted in some well earned goals.

Moreside and Jardine were the top goal getters for the Cclleglans. shooting a brace apiece, while A. Champion. A. Mdlalluni, R. Champ- ion. and Stewart garnered one each. N. MacMillan accounted for the lone Q.S.S. tally.

Oflg of the outstanding perform- ers on the Q.S.S. lineup was goalie T. Doyle, who despite the fact that he let eight goals go past. him. ne kept out many more than that which were destined to wind up in the mesh behind lilm with some really outstanding net tending for a youngster so young in _ve:irs.
