Sport Echoes , From I Prince county.

The R. C. A. F. hockey aggrega- tion and Eric Johnston's barn- stormers of 1951-52 are still out- side the folds of any hockey lea- gue. Their applications to the South Shore circuit were turned down, and we haven't heard it they plan to join the North Shore League or not. The distance to Kensington would be about the same as to the Bedeque Rink. and the competition might be just as stimulating and worth- while. . . .
