Will Prince niward Island be represented in the Dominion Jun- ior Curling championships this year? The answer will be in the affirmative if sufficient funds can be collected to send the boys to Nelson. B. C.. where this year”: matches are being played.

A meeting of junior officials and other interested senior curlers this evenin will explore the possibilit- ies an determine on a plan to finance the trip.

Participating for the first time in the series last year. the rink from this Province-a Charlotte- town foursome-gave an excellent account of themselves and stole the headlines from the more favored central DI'Ol'll'lC9S' representatives.

Provincial chairman. Rankine Mclsaine, stated yesterday that an effort would be made to raise the 52.000 necessary to defray ex- penses of a rink to Nelson. There is already promised about 3500. thus leaving about 31,400 to be subscribed.

Two rinks from

and two from Summerside will play a series of matches February 2nd and 3rd for the provincial

junior title. The winner would represent the Province in the Dominion playdowns at " ' .

February lath.

David "Tud" MacLeod who ac- ecmpanled the junior rink to Que- bec last year was enthusiastic over the showing made-the best that any rink representing this Prov- ince in Dominion-wide competition has yet achieved. They won five and last four of the nine matches played. The outccme really hinged on the play of the surprising is- landers.

Recognizing that it is it long trip to the Pacific Coast Province, loc- al curlers, nevertheless, are anx- ious to have the Province repre- senied in the series and are eon-l fident that the necessary support will be forthcoming to make the trip possible.

The winning rink wollld be re- quired to leave here about Febru- ary lath for the trip west.

Branded by one scribe as "buc-

when he termed the Islanders "Ch.lrlottetownls Butcher Boys" who "twisted Moncton's arm to u ring a 5-3 victory out of them" them invio sub- mission. As the saying goes tthose are harsh words pardner". but it is quite a-pwparent that these scri-bes in the rival camvps have got to give the Islanders a beat- ing somehow, and seeing as their ”saint like hockey.ists" of the home clu-bs can't do it over the ice sur- face, the pen is the next best weapon. There is 9. little ditty, however, that suits the occasion, and the islanders are quite fam- iliar with it - it goes something like this "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hunt me." Sure. they are a rugged bunch of boys. you have to be in this game of hockey. but why llwccp on somevbody's shoulder" because they are a little more rug- ged than the other 1-hree clubs in the league. 0 I

Big Phil Vitale. one of the slaunchest defencemen in the lea- gue, also came in for special cri- iicism. Admittedly the (husky ls- landers rearguard gets a little hot under the collar at times, what

hockey player doesn't and his size ,

and weight makes him more dan- gerous than the average player when he takes the notion to rough things urp. And don't think the opposition don't know it. 'I'ihe big -boy gels plenty of ”needling" be- fore he blows his top. and most of them know that it is a sure way to get him off the Islanders blue- line where he is a continual threat to the opposition every time they come near it. You'll look a long while before you will see any "halos" glorwcing around the "crew- euis" of -players on the Halifax. Saint John or Moncton clubs. Could be a case of sour grapes. . . .

What airways brings about a certain source of amusement to many local followers here. is the fact that some writers can make such a great "huillabloo" albout sometvhing an Islander playerdoes, while A player on one of the op- position clubs can "run wild" and nary a word is said about it. There was an incident like that here last Wednesday. Eddie Bolan; the bad-man of the Saint John blue- line conps. gave fans here quite I de.monst1'.iion on the art of "rough- house" tactics. In fact he didn't even confine his wrath to the ice. but tried to take it out on tons sitting in front row aeall. His action was not without result, either. and in addition to break- ing his stick in the attempt, caus- ed actual injury to a young lady spectator. City Police informed us yesterday. that they would have arrested Bolen. only that the young lady refused to press charges. -

But what adds the real insult to the injury. in the fact that in making a report of the game to other Maritime papers through the services of the Canadian Press, and making that report of the in- cident mild as compared to the actual affair. some papers even "blue penciiled" the . reference from their reports altogether. They didn't minamize the "Vitale" in- cident though. Seems to ork something like die secret service in war time.

Boxing Title

NEW YORK. Jan. R - (AP) -- Ezzard Charles defends his world heavyweight boxing title for the sixth time Friday at Madison

Square Garden against Lee Oma,

the reformed playboy from But- faln. . The 15-round bcul: starting at 10:00 P. M. (its T.) will be beam- ed to millions by radio and televis- ion. Illl.e1'.'lZ1l.l0ll3l Boxing Club of- flclals expect some 12,003 fans to pay at least 535.000 to see the con- test

Little or no betting on the fight was reported with the price against Oma about 4 to 1. it's about even money on the lean Cincinnati champ knocking out the 34-year-old chal- lenger.

Charles is running ahead of the Joe Inuis record pace in risking his title. Joe. new engaged in a come- back campaign leading to a return with Ezzy. defended '25 times before he "retired." The new champ is about three months ahead of Louls' schedule.

The 29-year-old champ polished off Nick Barone on an llth-round knockout at Cincinnati. Dec. 5 in his last start, since winning the title by beating Jersey Joe Walcott at Chicago. June 22. 1949. Ez7y whipped Gus Lesncvich, Pat Val- entino. Freddie Beshore, Louis and Balone. only Louis went the route.

A sharp puncher and fine boxer who usually -wears down his man in the late rounds, Charles figures to cut down Oma, primed for the fight. of his life.

Oma, an in-and-outer who has been fighting since 1939. may bother Charles with his peculiar style. He likes to shuffle around with his hands down, lashing out in periodic flurries with a sharp right.

Ranked No. 4 among the chal- lengers behind Louis, Lee Savold, and Joey Maxim. Oma has a spotty record of 62 wins. 25 losses and yiree draws. He has been stopped

4 times. most of them early in his career.

in l960 Omrhad six fights. win- ning four. one was the no-decision debacle and the other was the K0 by Bob satterfield. pbarles fought and won three times last year after his long layoff due to a strained heart muscle.

MONCTON. N.B.. Jan. fl -- (CP) --Saint John Beavers scored a goal a period tonight to defeat cellar dwelling Moncton Hawks 3-2 in a Maritime Major Hockey Lea- gue game.

Paul Plailz opened the scoring near the end of the first period while Hawks were playing short handed. Jack Thaler gave Beav- ers a two-goal'icad in the second on a breakaway with Tonuny Brennan and in the third period with Hawks crowding the Beaver cage, Thaler a-gain combined with Bren- nan io get the clincher.

Dalt Barkwell put Hawks in the running in the second period after Beavers had scored a pair of tal- lies and near the seven-minute mark of the final frame Mousie Dowling knotted the score at 2-2.

Piaiz narrowly missed his sec- ond goal of the game in the dying minutes when he let go a long shot from his own end toward the empty Moncton cage and the disc hit the post and caromed into the corner.

The game was listless for two periods with the Beavers playing for the breaks. The tempo speed- ed up in the final period after Hawks tied the score and the Moncionians hammered rutbber at Dennis Brodeur in the Saint John cage from all an-gles but were unable to make the red light blink.
