SO AFTER. those first five games, it does seem like a - mighty-big task trying to figure out a winner in this Island Hoc- 4 key League. There appears to be balance galore and Ivan _. Doherty, the league president, continues to beam.
Doherty is convinced there are great battles in store for hockey fans -all season long and he and his capable executive ' are doing everything possible to insure the continued success of
the league. :, It’s been a long long-time since hockey got off to such a terrific start on Prince Edward Island. Everybody, and that _ includes the faithful fans, seem to mean businuess. To date - erowds have been good and with the type of hockey the boys are | Playing, it is almost a certainty the crowds will get better. -

~~ ACES GOT a real boost when the league decided to give
_ Ronnie MacArthur the green light to perform with Charlie Hogan's boys.
; Ronnie may not see action until after Christmas but when
__ he does show up you can be sure that-Summerside defence will!
Pe > be a whole lot stronger. Ronnie is a mighty capable performer and

' to Hogan’s Aces. In last-season’s plavoff with the Aces and Roy-

man Mac.

It’s great news for Summerside supporters and you can be sure Ronnie will give it everything he’s got once he gets out ‘there in front of young Thane Mann.
WELL, MONTREAL CANADIENS kept rolling along over the weekend with victories over Detroit Red Wings and Bosten ’ Bruins. It was the 18th game in a row in which the Blakemen had escaped defeat.
', Saturday night thev had a really tough time of it edging the
Wings 1-0 but they did and that’s what matters. Jacques Plante’s
‘ eritics would have a hard time in that one because Plante was
_. surely the big difference. The masked man has been performing
-at a great clip and folks who refuse to recognize this must _ surely be prejudiced.
There are many who claim that Plante would look horrible .4f he were tending goal for some other National Hockey League team. We can’t see it that way and mind you we can never be ‘accused of being pro-Canadien. We realize he has a solid defence .{n front of him but we also know that he has had plenty of work : this season and has come through with flying colors.
Just because Plante happens. to be goaltending for the world ‘champs is no good reason to reflise to give him credit for his performances. His goals-against average at the present is a «Sparkling 1.78. That showing is for his first 23 games and that’s : Asay at all, even though you are playing for Montreal Can-
; But some will never give Plante credit regardless of how he performs. He won't worry as long as dfe keeps going the way _ibe's going now.
JACK ROSS has issued a reminder to basketball teams in the City League. This is the final day for registration and each * team is obliged to send $1 per player to Jack no later than today.
Make sure you attend to it boys.

Fighters Won't Ela
HOUSTON (AP) — Champion when he said: Joe Brown and challenger Dave Charnley are extremely cautious while discussing the possible out- come of their Wednesday night world’s lightweight title match. Both say they can win but neither is emphatic. This is in sharp contrast with Brown’s three previous title defencés here when both sides frankly forecast knockout victories.
This time Brown has done nothing more than indi¢ate he will win. Charnley, the British Empire champion, has said he can win—if he is cautious. Brown only indicated he will deliver the fight - ending punch
“Naturally, I think I'm going to win . . . but I must not get reckless,”’ said Charnley.
The scheduled 15-round Sam Houston Coliseum match will be arene nationally at 11 p.m.

Charlie Shepard Blames Himself For Blocked Kick
