League Starts Tonight

THE Giarlottetown Jun-ior District League swings into ac- tion toniglht at The Forum with Prince of Wales Welshnieu and Saint Dunstan's Saints providing the opening fireworks.

Folks have been clamoring for a junior loop here and they ‘have finally got their wish. This season's group is compos of North River Juniors and Charlottetown Legionalres in addition to tonight's opponents. The Legionaires are strictly a juvenile

I ' will participate throughout the rest of this season in this newly-

. formed junior loop. . ‘ be hoped that the Forum vnll see a great crowd on

that a big student crowd from each college will wend their way to Bucko Trainor's winter playground. There has always been great rivalry between PWC and SDU and there‘s no good reason it should not display itself once again this year. in foot- basketball and hockey the two colleges have given all of -— us thrills galore and we have the idea they have many more in store for us when they battle each other this year on this junior I hockey league. ‘

ONE thing we particularly like is the grrat enthusiasm 1 shown by the league executive headed by Brigadier Al Rogers. All connected with the league are adicrtising it "\‘9l‘_\‘\A'llEl‘e they go. They are promising folks solid entertainment and have kept the price down to a modest 60 cents. Students can attend all games for the special price of 35 cents.

Tonight Mayor Walthen Gaudet will officially 21-l the league underway and a group of distinguished guests will be on hand

ed by o e of hockey's greatest followers. Lt. Gov. W. J. MacDonald. The genial governor has kindly consented to act as honorary president of this new loop.

Properly Concluded

TALKING with president Rogers. we learned that referee- in-chief, Don Whelan. and his staff will receive the ful«lest_back- ing from the league executive.’ The league has no desire to present ‘tea parties‘ to the public but on the other hand it has no intention of letting the players run the show. All teams will be registered with the Maritime Amateur Hockey Association and vou can figure that Brigadier Rogers and his helpers in- tend .to see to it that the MAI-lA rules are enforced._

Players must keep in mind that the league is bigger than they are. If they Insist mi disregarding the rules laid down.

A handful of spectators was on hand for the first Canadian Curling Championship in 1927 at Toronto. Little did they realize to what extent the game would grow. How could they envision the day when 55,000 people would pay to watch provincial cham- pions from one end of Canada to the other clash in a week-long curling struggle for the Mac- donald's Brier Tankard.

As the game has progressed: so too has the Canadian Curl- ing Championship to the point where it is truly a national sporting event, as colorful a sports pageant as can be found in the country. .

The Brier. as the event c o m m o n l y known, annually brings together East and West in the spirit of camara’derie. Competitors. officials and dignitaries meet on the com- mon ground —- curling. So im- portant has the Brier become. that a news dispensing corps of press. radio and V personnel totalling close to 100. is needed to keep Canada's 400.000 curlers

‘ abreast of developments.

The Brier was born out of a need for a Canadian champion. for the game was growing by leaps and bounds in both East and West. With the cooperatiom of Macdonald Tobacco Inc. who wished to fu rt her curling in Canada, a playdown was staged

neers pressure curling; Ken Watson, who refined the slide delivery

of them: Billy Rose, as deter- mined a champion as could be. Billy Walsh's coolness under fire: Matt Baldwin’: uncanny knack of inspiring his team- mates: the Campbelis of Avon- lea. Sask. and their precision game; Hec Gervais‘ delicate touch for a 270-pounder and flu- ally the Richardson‘ all-round draw and take-out game. possi- biy unmatched in the annals of the sport.

THERE WERE OTHERS

There were others. equally proficient but somewhat less fortunate in their curling endea- vours. They never made the championship list but they were caught up in the color of the Br- ier. a color that is present ev erywhere a Brier is played. The blue and red stones, the painted houses at the ends of the five parallel eets of ice. Flags, hunting. the skirl of the pipes leading the parade of competi- tors into the arena. This is the culmination of a season long battle to qualify for Canada’: highest curling honors.

Every province is represent- ed in the big show and an 11th team from Northern Ontario completes the roster. A round-

Canada's curling champion, ship has been played in citie; from Halifax to Victoria. Aside from acting as a common meet. ing ground for ‘provincial cham. pious, the Brier has managed to gather together scattered gov. ernlug bodies of the game. who in turn formed the Dominion Curling Association. Anomal- useful purpose being served by the Brier is the fostering of the game in those regions which act as hosts for the annual play, Many curling clubs have sprung up in communities immediately following the staging of the Br. ier. and any profits realized are used for the promotion of the game among the younger set. This in turn guarantees contin- ued growth of the game.

The Bmier trusteeship is in the capable hands of Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell of Summer. Ross G.L. Harstoiie of Hamilton and the Hon. Errick F. Willis of Winnipeg. These Western, Central and Eastern Canadian representatives fleet the truly Canadian nature of the Brier itself.
