ard skating, good clean body checking and a minimum of dirty play. Both teams decided to stick to hockey 1 throughout the evening and a result folks saw a battle royal from start to finish.

ALTHOUGH the Prince County boy‘s didn’t quite measure up

the occasion, they won a lot of friends by their determined stand. They tried their mightiest and it was only the great work of Lyman Maclnnis in the Royals' cage that kept them from going west that night with the decision. The former Penguin netminder gave a great performance as he brains the hearts of the westerners time after time.

Mann in the Combines' cage was also in top form and the diminutive goalie saved the visitors on many occasions.

All in all, it was a pleasing performance and more of the same will surely bring more folks into the rinks. As it was

Tuesday, things weren't too bad at all. About 700 paid customers a}?

These two most capable hockeyists are students at St. Dun— stan‘s High School and have been declared eligible to perform with Jack Kane's Varsity outfit. Usually high school students are not allowed by the Maritime Intercollegiate Athletic Union to perform on Varsity squads. However, the local Saints are in dire need of help this season and the M‘lAU allowed the Red and Whiters to go into their high school ranks. It is believed that Jimmy Cullen will also turn out with the Kanemen in an effort to bolster the SDU club. Jimmy is also a high school student at the Malpeque Road school.

Cullen‘s decision will be a loss to the Penguins, the junior entry in the island Scnior Hockey League.

Saints open their intercollegiate schedule this weekend in Halifax where they engage St. Mary’s University. The Santa- marians bowed 8-6 to Nova Scotln Tech in the league opener last Saturday in the Nova Scotia capital. George Tralnor of Char- lottetown and former star dcfenceman of Saints and Penguins, is a rearguard with the Tech outfit.

SAINTS are not expected to burn up the intercollegiate lea- gue this season but. the addition of high school players will cer- tainly make them a great deal more potent than they otherwise would have been.

Ccmbines did everything but win the hockey game. When the Combines ice 3 full team, you can surely expect them to be mighty dangerous

Right now, these boys from Prince look like the team to heat. Sandy and his boys undoubtedly think they can still retain their ISHL crown but the Combines definitely should be a great stumb- ling block all through the piece.
