They came through yesterday with two wins, one a close vic- tory over Saskatchewan by the narrow margin of 6-5’and last night with a 9-6 defeat being handed to the Nova Scotia rink.
In the vening game against the Nova Scotia foursome the local rink" took an early lead, scoring an impressive four-en- the ‘ova Scotia rink scoreless till ‘the fifth. , In this end the op- posing team registered two points making it 5-2 for the Is- land rink. _
The ‘P.W.C. lads gotone in the sixth but the Nova Scotians came back strong to score a three-ender in the seventh and draw to one point’ of the local rink.
In the eighth the Island rink retaliated with a 2.-ender to give them a 3 point lead. In the ninth both teams matched rock for rock and Nova Scotia had the last stone and made it count, but the local team got this one back in the final to end the game 9-6. The second and fourth were dead ends.

. itoba and New Brunswick, Man-
itoba registered their first win of the .compe'tit1ions, in an ex- citing extra end game.

At the end of the seventh Quebec was leading 9-5 but in the eighth eend Ontario racked up 5 stones to take a one point lead. The Quebec rink scored two in the ninth to put them one jump ahead of the Ontario foiirsome but the Ontario rink, with last stone in. the tenth; scored one to‘ tie the game 11-all and thus force an extra end. The Quebec skip had the final stone but Ontario was laying one and well guarded Thus the Quebec skip had to make a perfect draw to count. He made a good'try but his stone was slightly heavy and a bit wide thus giving the Ontario quartet the victory for their fourth win in the competitions.
British Columbia soundly trounced Saskatche"-I I» by the score ‘of 14-3 last c,.....ing. »The' British’ Columbia rink tried ‘hard but could only register two ends, the 7th and the nines.
There arenow only four rinks left without. a loss, Alberta Northern Ontario, Ontario and Prince Edward Island.
THIRD ROUND
In the most thrilling match to date of the Canadian Schoolboy Curling Championship the P. E. I. entry from Prince of Wales College fought rock for rock to barely edge Saskatchewan 6 to 5 in the afternoon round.
The other matches played proved to be nothing more than easy workouts for the winners as Nova Scotia slaughtered New
Aces Are ‘Better Than Hockey Series Showed
The Maritime Hockey ‘Senior League is over and we don’t think we’ll get many arguments if we say the better team won We don‘t believe, however, that the score in games 5-1 is an indication of the relative merits of the two teams. Of the six
' games, there were two lop-sided
ones, each club winning one. The other four games were close and exciting. One of them was 6-5. and the other three were won by a two-goal margin. One of these went to overtime and in another the insurance tally _wa.-. fired into a vacant net in the last minute of play. In total goals the Ramblers scor- ed 31 and the Aces 25.
The best way to put it is to 533' that Amherst was a stead- ier team. They didn’t have as many playing lapses as the Aces had. Their passing was superior but we didn't think they out-skated or out-hustled
the Sumrnersride Club.
Now that it’s over we'd like see,
to and we believe many
fans would like to see a series for the Island Championship. Aces have had‘ their fling at the Allan Cup play-offs, ' and we understand the Royals" will
get a chance to play in the strictly Maritime piaydowns. Neither. of these settle the
question of Island supremacy.
We think both clubs would benefit by such a series. It would keep the Aces longer in action, and the competition would keep the Royals fit for their coming series. If inter- est is held at a high level, the clubs should also benefit fin- ancially. Last 'year Parkdale was eliminated in mainland competition with Frederiacton, and came back to take part in Island play-offs. There is I reason why the Aces could not do the same.
The Cape Breton clubs are just about to start their semi- finals so there should be time for Royals to engage the Aces in a playoff series before the Cape Breton winner is ready.

Brunswick 15 to 2 and Alberta overwhelmed Quebec 14 to*4. In the other two games Ontario beat Newfoundland 13 to 7 and Nor- thern Ontario took Manitoba into camp 15 to 7. ' The P. E. I.—Saskatchewan spectators in an uproar from start to finish as the match went down to the final -rock in the last end before it was-decided. The Westerners from Maple Creek got a single in the. first end with the Islanders doing the same in the second. The visitors‘ again. took the lead with»/a point in the third and the teams blank- ed the fourth while Saskatche- wan picked up another in the fifth to lead three to one. The local boys got one of them back in the sixth and added two more in the seventh when visiting skip Fred Hansen on a beautifully curled stone when through the port on the outside circle where
the opening was’ barely more than stone width. The W sterners tied it up
again in t e eighth but the fight- ing Island rink roared right back with the biggest ‘2’ of the bon- spiel to date to ‘lead by one going into the final end.
Mate «Elwood Sawley of the Westerners came into the house with his second stone on a fine effort to leave it lying at 9 o’-
clock behind 'an outside Island guard. Island Skip Burke curled beautifully to take it out and his stone in turn was removed by Skip Fred Hansen toleave Sask- atchewan lying one in the blue behind the tee line.
Burke took care of that one and Hansen’s final rock gave the Maple Creek boys a single on the end but left the Islanders win- ners by one point. _
AIR OF SUSPENSE
‘ Had the match been staged for
television it could. not have been
managed better to create an
atmosphere of suspense. All
other games had ended and the
two teams were alone on Number 1 ice with the sidelines and back ' ice jammed‘ with other teams
gathered to watch the tense
struggle. Among the curl e r s sympathies were divided with
each, shot roundly applauded as each of the competing boys gave everything he had. It was dif- ferent in the stands where the violently partisan spectators vig- orously applauded good shots of the local boys but spoiled the effect by cheering when the op- ponents missed a shot. One youngster on another visiting team was/heard‘ to remark as he left the Sports Arena »“the hospitality of Islanders is swell but the sportsmanship shown by spectators -here is terrible.”

By DUCK ACORN Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan played one of the most outstanding Curling games _to be witnessed in Char- lotte-to-wn for many a moon and the crowd were on their feet all the way through the ten ends. The first end started out as just an ordinary game, and the Sask, skip wicked off a long
guard to land up for shot. in Iihre sIe«co.nd end, Burke lost. every rock until he came up himself and had, to make a
cold draw for a one.
In the third end, the Islanders nursed two rocks through the entire end until the skips took over. Burke’s first rock was ho-gged with Hansen a shade short and just at twelve o’- clock. Burke’s last rock was a foot wide leaving, making a big miss for the local teams‘ as they had a two-ender going. Hansen raised one in to win the end.
In the fourth end it was a straight- knock out battle with Burke rolling out on his take out to keep last rock in the fifth end. In the fifth end, Sask were in for a three when Saun- ders, the vice, drew to the poc- ket to lay shot. The Sask. vice. came in with’ a beautiful take outrock, clearing the house of the only Island rock. Saunders kept the Islanders in the game by drawing again to the shot rock. _
Hansen came down with take out weight pinched out the shot rock, and, in doing so‘, scatter- ed his rocks around the house.
Burke had to freeze to protect
the house from falling in on him
and the team, and‘ he made a
nice shot. Hansen tried for a
pinch which would give him a
big four~emIder and he got a big
hand from the crowd for a
good take-out. Burke had to

draw to the four foot circle.
When Burke laid his rock down, the boys took a hold of it and swept it all the way; so much so, that they swept it past the four foot circle and it just hung on enoung to ‘cut Sask. out of three rocks, leav- ing Hansen’s rock the counter. PRESSURE MOUNTS . In the sixth end, two big Sask., misses set up the Island- ers for a three, when the skips took over, and at this timethe pressure was really boiling. Hansen took out the number two and rolled out himself. Burke also made a take out of a Sask rock and he slipped
Th-is still left two for Hansen to go for. Hansen made a nice take out and rolled behind an Island rock to be well guarded.
Burke in attempting a chip caught his number two rock and rolled to the button to settle for one and at the end of six ends Sask. were in front 3-2. The fourth end was blanked out. After the first rocks had been

Bell in attemption a take out pushed a Sask., rock into the house just wicking it enough to push it in behind the front guards of the Island rink. Han-. sen elected to take off one of the Island guards which he did, still keeping the right side of the house blocked. Saunders made a spectacular draw for a freeze against Saslfs No. to keep the boys in contention again. Sask., vice made ’a beautiful take out by pinching out Saunder’s rock across the face of the tee line.
Saunders had to do it all over again to protect the house and this time he sneaked by the Sask., guard and the winner for the Sask., and he just slipped by to con- tinue out through the house. Burke was forced to go with the guard and Sask., has no. two and three rocks in the house. BRINGS CROWD TO FEET
The crowd were standing up as Burke delivered and drew
