The Abegwelts Have Lost Many ofThelr Old Men - League Games Will Be Exciting.

ie 'l‘ilc Football season on Prince Edward

Island will begin on Saturday afternoon, when tho Abegweits and the Prince Illdwards will meet lu the flrstgamo of the League series. It is not possible yet to _ filrul any correct estimate of the relative merits ofthe teams in the League, but the season promises to he one of interest. ‘The Abegwelts, \vl\o last season tied with St. Dunstan's for the championship, have apparently been weakened by the loss of several men. The Victorias, on tha other hand, who made such a good showing lust year, have not suiT`ered to a noticeable ex- tent, and the two old rival teams will this season be more evenly matched than ever bcfore.It is regrettable that St. Dun- stan`s have withdrawn, but tho Prince Edwards wlli add interest to the outcome of the series.

I him wlill them for their hardest games.

To take the places of these abscntees the Abegweits have a number of experienced players who have before figured on senior. teams. Among these are J. C. Ballum, of last year`s Dalhousie team, T. C. Wood, a former Wanderer, Les. Adams, an old Abegvveit player, all for the forward line, and Cyrus McMillan, a former Allegweit half back. They will however depend on much new material.

The Victoria team of last season is al- most intact. With the exception of Mc- Arthur and McPherson, two of their best forwards who are absent from the Pro- vince, all their old players will again be in uniform. The club also has considerable promising new material ami their team will be strong at all points.

The Prince lC<i\varda last year won the

intermediate Championship, and al- though the team consists of young play- ers, it will doubtless furnish a surprise to the older clubs. On the whole, the teams are pretty evenly llalnncerl and a good season s spoil. is assured
