Al Mlllar. sub-goalie for the Que- bec Aces during the early part of the season, arrived in Sydney last night before game time, The odds were against Al last night but he

apparently made quite R good showing. He had been travelling since the night before, playing in strange ring ivlth a strange team in front of him. .N'evcl'theless he turned aside 25 shots as the ls- landers won their second game. on Sydney ice this season. Mlllar is on loan to the Islanders and the local club does not have to pay a cent for his use. He will be in action here on Monday night against Sydney Millionaires.

Last night's win made it fourl

Scotia is the tug-of-war. Every year during the months of Sep- tember, October. and the early

A young, strong team of farm-

crs from Gaspercaux, N, S, and vicinity have won the Maritime Championship for the past two

years. Last. week at Amherst. they defeated Canada Packers of Wolf- vllle after ll pull of 19 minutes and 30 seconds in as crowd pleasing and thrilling a sports event as one could ivi.-zh to see.

Although tliefsport has liol. been practised here for quite ll while we have had inquiries concerning the rules governing n tug-of-war After Gaspereaux won the Marl- time Championship last Friday night we met a. number of the winning team members among them Carl Davidson, Stephen Al. ten and Raymond Schofleld. From them we learned that the rope used must be 100 feet. long and that each team can use only ten men on one pull. There is ti.-time limit of 20 minutes and the weight of the team must not exceed 1700 pounds, on average of 1'10 pounds per man.
