Although the NDFLlISElKlE Vics with whom they are performing ' have only a loss and a tie to show for two games, the work of the Charlottetown trio has been satis- fying to Cape Breton writers. In the ﬁrst game they accounted for one of their team's two goals and were classed as the best attacking trio of the Nort side entry. O I I O That in itself, particularly when they were receiving their ﬁrst test in senior company, should just a- bout assure their sticking. As the season wears on the youngsters should improve noticeably and al- though their followers here do not expect them to break any scoring records they should get their quota of goals for their new club.

Local hockey received a decided impetus Thursday night when Navy were declared definite start- ers in this season's City Hockey League warfare with reports from the meeting stating "that. it was one of the most enthusiastic held‘

in several years.

Unlike the Legion and Prince of Wales. the other two possible ent- ries who have re-building jobs on their hands, the Lawlor-coached team will have all but two of last year's team back in action andl these together with four or five newcomers are expected to give the Tars more strength and bal- ance than was the casc last sea- son.

I O O O

And in tlic latter" stages lasil season Navy weren't any weak sisters by any means. We well re- member that after eliminating Prince of Wales they came along to throw a mighty scare into the Saints squad in the semi-ﬁnals. If Coach Walter Lawlor can improve on that from the outset this sea- son they are apt to cause plenty of upsets before ilieschcdule has run its course.

Second Saints and Prince of Vllules will provide local fans with plenty of excitement this after- noon on the Saint Dunstairs grid- iron when they clash in anothe: double barrelled ﬁxture, namely an intermediate league game and also the second game of the Island in- tercollegiate series.

It is the second phase of the struggle that both teams are con- centrating on. For today's game at least the intermediate league will have to play second ﬁddle as sﬂlllls- Only a game away from the intercollegiate croyvn. seek to wind up that series‘. And one can get slight odds that they will per- form Just that feat.

Just u-hat the City 5d|Qﬂ '11" which gets underwaymere Monday holds in store for football fans should be pretty well determined after the West Kent-Sucnlmersldc clash at the latter place today. Surrvnersidr- gave tlhe Queen Square team a mighty tussle in the last two games of their three-game ser- ies and if West Kent can come through with a like performance the stage should be set for repeat performances of the gruelling strug- gles the same two schools waged back in the 1930's when interest and competition between them was at its peak.

The result advanced Bearcats to a first place tie with Moncton llawks and left Saint John still in the cellar.

The teams played on fairly even fcrnls but Bcaiters outshot the in- mders only time by the 'l'ruro goalie.

Bert Steele put llle Bearcais one up in the second after a scoreless first session, ’l‘»hen the players really went to town in the final canto. After Beavers tied the count Truro regained the lead and ll"lfl it to n minute frnn the end of plaXF-ng time, WllCIl Walter But- lcr and Johnny Gauthier combin- ed for the equalizer.

Defeated in t-‘ieir first two games n! the season, Beavers showed vast improvement (Iuring the fast but scoreless opening period. Although they cutshot Bear-cats about two to one, Sonny MacDonald was unbeat- able in the Truro cage.

The second period was less than three minutes old when Steele made a solo rush pay off. A Saint John rearguard-haiapened to be in front of Tommy Donachey and the goalie apparently didn't see the rubber as it flashed over his shoulder. Bill Liearns, Truro de- fonceman. had lo leave the ice af- ter he suffered a facial cut.

.--tAP>-The place was silent ex- cept for the soft swish, swish shoes scraping over canvas’ soggy thud of big gloves meeting human flesh and an occasional ex- plosive grunt.

Finally Marshall Miles,’ a ivisp; little man who serves as the champions manager, said “time", and Joe Louis, breathing easll and quite unperturbed, walked to n 1011181’ of the ring and Jimmy Bell, a lithe IRS-pound Negro, \‘.0bl)l€d to another and climbed through the ropes, obviously quite happy his chore was over.

Another Ncgm, George Fitch, who has served as the, champs sparring partner for years, hunch- cci his way into the ring, adjusted ris massive headguard and Miles again said "time."

It was Joe's first serious ring work since his knockout of Tami Mauriello 14 months ago_ but look- ing at him you would have imag- ined he had been training every day.

I-Ie stalked the apprehensive Fitch relentlessly. He jabbed, he hooked, he crossed his right, and whichever way Fitch turned there was the sloe-eyed, inscrutable de- gtrover in front of him.

Fitch took a thorough battering in his two rounds. Perspiring and puffing, he ventured an opinion.

"He's sharp," he said. "Sharper than he was the first day ‘of train- ing for Conn."

'I'he faithful Manny Seamon steered the champion through a door into a rubblngroom, and the score or so of spectators arose and moved aimlessly in the clean. ord- crly room, obeying the “no smok- ing" signs without exception.

In the rubbing room, the champion was stretched out on a table as Manny and George Nich- olson, another faithful employee, oiled him and rubbed him vigor- ously. Joe was docile and passive, his marvelous body showing no trace of the extra eight pounds he is supposed to be carrying at 215-

"You look like a million dol- lars," a reporter told him. Joe grinned and stretched out a hand.

"Here's five." he said. then add- ed: "I've ‘bout convinced myself I'm only 28 instead of 33. YOU know, down where I was born they didn't keep records very good. My mother might have made a mistake." -

This scribe hasn'L had much op-‘ portunity to study the squirrels; and how active they have been in; the way of storing away cones and‘ what-not fcr winter food, bu‘. w. ap- pears from somewhat limited ob- scrvafion that they arc on the lazy‘ side and not too industrious. I have noted that the wasps, 0r as they,‘ are sometimes called hornets. nests are built low to the ground. less than a foot off it in rfjlllli‘ in-_‘ stances, and maybe ivr- \\ill have u; reasonably light snowfall.

r Last winter, albeit it was cold

enough in ~spells, favoured the. game birds, particularly the Hung- arian partridge, on account of the absence of sleet storms and icy crusts, There was bare ground av-t ailuble all winter and the llunsj were assured of a supply of ncccs-' sary grit vchcn necclcd. If we have the same type of ivintcr “'£‘2ll\‘.lf‘l' this year, sportsmen will enjoy up- land game shooting in the fall of 1948 such as is dreamed about and seldom experienced. With the Hungarian partridge season ent- ering on its last lap, closes on lllél evening of November 12th, there is no appreciable difference noted in the numbers of birds (‘Vrll in. the districts surrounding F1181‘- lottetown, but they have become wild and eligcy in the extreme and many covey's will not lie to even the most cautious flunti-ng doll!-

A party of girnners out on the 4th and 5th of thc month report running into seven covers that ap- parently never had a shot fired at them. The covey's nvcrngcrl from twenty to 24 birds and acted as‘ green as the proverbial cabbage. Those sportsmen had travelled a little farther afield in a western direction and gotten out of t.he muoh shot over circle surrounding the City. In case some of ille less lucky gunners imagine that there was a regular" slaughter of birds I'll pass the information along that their shooting was away below par and none of them got tllcll‘ limit of eight or anything near it.

O O O

The" close of the pheasant sea- son on November 1st saw plenty of breeding stock left for next year but . will the breeders be around next spring, The Iiheasant can well look after himself during October and for-that matter the season could be the some as the Ruffed grouse. After the first morning the kill was small. When-

‘nnilter will likely

ever a. covey of pheasants feeding in a stubble field saw a car load of gunners approaching they duck- ed low and high tailed for the nearest W00fls or swam and when they entered it they kcpt on run- ning. Here is one point we gunners must not lose sight of: the pheas- ant is nothing more than a glor- ified barnyard fowl and once Jan- uary and February are ushered in,

the cocks in particular. seem to lose a lot of their natural caution and gravitate to the nearest barn yard to hob nob with the domestic blddies. During the winter months many a wise old cock is ushered into a roasting pan through the

medium of a .22 calibre rifle or being picked off a hen roost and having his neck wrung. Whereas the chances of that same bird be-l 1mg picked off in October are l0 to 1 in favour ofthe phcasantl There has to be a different attitude adopted toward tho pheasant dur- ing the winter by both farmers and city ‘tellers’ alike if our pheas- ant population is to increase and thrive as it should. O O O

There has been no official veri- fication of reports that covey's of Braid-ls chicken were observed in Kings county. If there were many of the chicken on the rounds lt wouldfvt be a hard job to ‘locate them for when they are feeding in a stubble field they rI-o not feec. low like the lluns but walk around like domestic hens. They spend a lot of their time along the edges of small woodlots and swamps as their habits in this respect are very much the same as the Ruffed grouse,

O O O

It rs the intention of Island sportsmen to introduce Bob White quail to the province in the near future. Like the Hun the greatest enemy of this species of game bird is the sleet storms andhattendont icy crust, They are a beautiful up- land game bird about one third smaller than the Huns which they resemble very much in colour and conformation. They are credited wl-th knowing a few. more tricks than the Hun when it comento outwittidg s dog or gunner and that's saying plenty. ft is tho con- cemus of opinion that the experi- ment is well worth a try.

Considers Barbara Weak Champion

LONDON. Nov. 6 (CP) — Jacob Gcrsclnvilor, internationally- knoavn Swiss figure skating in- strut-tor, said today that Barbara Ann Scott of Ottawa is "the weak- est figure skater to my mind we have hud to hold the world's championship in many years."

His brother, Arnold, said he thinks Miss‘ Scott is "very good hut certainly not unbeatable. She isn't the type or champion I'd say who could hold the title five or i0 years."

Jacob cushioned his criticism with the observation thflf-‘Miss Scott's free skating is "brilliant" and that she ls his “outstanding choice" to win the Olympic Games championship next February at St, Moritz, Switzerland.

Miss Scott won the world and European titles last winter.
