MONCTON, Oct. 14 -iOP)- A surprise announcement. that Saint John may not have a hockey team to enter in the New Brunswick Senior League this year was greet- ed in Mloncton with consternation.

"If Saint John doesn't ice a hoe- lcey team it will mean the end of the league," said Frank Coyle, a member of the Moncton Commun- ity Athletic Association. ”It; would leave only Fredericton and Mone- tnn-and that wouldn't be practic- al." ' i

Ambrose Wheeler. president. of the association had little comment. "Why saint John would do such a thing is hard to understand," he said

G. N. Roberts secretary treasur- --r of the arsociation, described

the announcement. by Otty Stev-l

.-nson. Saint John promoter that he had abandoned plans for a Saint John team as "definitely a calamity."

Mr. Coyle said he had no fur- ther word from Saint. John on whether someone would take over. "This announcement is a blow in the face to hockey in New Brtins- wick.” he said. Even if someone does lakc over it will g.vc New Brunswick hockey a bad name.

A system of developing football players which was stitvted at St. Dunstan's University in t.i.e tail of

1947 is paying rl?h dividends for the Saints first amt second teams this year. Actually zhc football

,plan has paid dividends hcforc but yit was not until the saints made such a brilliant start in Maritime intercollegiate competition this fall that the results of this scheme were brought to the forefront. . . .

The Saints success this fall is due to a lot of different factors, all tot them of great importance, but

few of any greater value than the system which gave every student on the campus an opportunity to learn the game of football. We re- for to an intra-mural League which was organized by Rev. Fath- ler Ellsworth, Professor of Biology rat 5. D. U. Father Ellsworth took charge of the league in 1947 and he turned a loosely organized cir- cuit liito a highly competitive league with competant instructors available for each team.

. . . Practically all of the players starring On the Red and White

first and second teams are grad- uates of this league. Most of the players advance from the intra- mural to the second team which is coached by John Eldon Green, a graduate of S. D. U. in 1947. some of them make the jump from this league to the senior team although most of the first team players have had one or two year's seasoning with the intermediate squad. O O The rest of the job is-left to the coach of the senior team. A. J. MacAdam. A. J. who was prob- ably the best football player in the Maritlmos in his day and one of the best to come out of Si.

done quite a job of it too. He has the task of moulding these boys together into a smooth working machine and anyone who saw or listened to the description of the game in Antigonish last Saturday when the saint defeated st. F, X. 5-0 knows how well he has h:tnri- led this task.

By their showings in the first two games this season the Saints have given their followers a lot to cheer about. They have defeated Mount Allison and St. F. X. by decisive scores and both these Un- iversitics have been the big guns in the Intercollegiate football since the end of the war. In ad- dition to winning the saints have kept their record spotless without having a point scored on them.

t 0 I

Of course the Saints are a long way from winning the Mnritime championship yet. They have not played Acadia this season and that team was good enough to hold St. F. X. to a tie two weeks ago. The Saints play Acadia this Saturday at Wolfvillc in a game that should provide more than its share of good football. They play St. F. X. hero on Saturday. October 25 and this game should draw the big- gest football crowd in years .Then they play Acadia and Mount A once again so they have quite a tough road to hot: before they can wear the coveted crown.

O O 0

Between those games the saints can be assured of plenty of prac- tlse. They will play the second team and the Intermediate squad of Saints is good enough to play any senior or Intercollegiate team in the Maritlmcs. A number of the second team players are high school students and are not elig- ihle for Intercollegiate play while the remainder are College year

In addition to the Saints ttere are two other good football tezims on the Island and both of them played here Monday afternoon. We refer to the Abbles and the Sum- merslde Air Force. The Abbics looked good Monday when they defeated Truro 15-5 in an exhibit- ion game. They will be further strengthened this week by the ad- dition of Jerry MacDonald, a rug- ged forward who played with S. D. U. last year.

Team captain Elmer Blanchard gave a heads up performance in Monday's game. Blanchard, who is the best taokler in the Awbies backiield, engineered two of the scoring plays and tackled vicious- ly all afternoon. Prospective foot- ball players who want. to learn how to tackle would do well to watch Blanchard. He tackles low nnd hard at all times the only

how to make. .

There were a lot of other lzood players on the field besides Blanch- ard. One of them, Noel Wilson, de- serves special mention. Wilson was badly out on the forehead when he tackled a Truro player in front of the Abbles goalpcsts in the first. half. He was taken from the field and to hospital where he received 12 stitches to cloie tne gash. As willing as he is rugged, Wilson re- turned to the game and finished out the contest as the Abbies full- back. Although w: did not like to see him re-enter the game, we could not help but admire the boy's guts and stamina.

"Casey At The Hat" is in dahger of being outmoded. "Casey In The Dugout" ,threatens to take its place. It looks as if Mr. Stengel is at the very top of the managerial heap. As far as we, personally, are concerned, however. he doesn't rate the "Miracle Man” title which Stallings of the 1914 Boston Braves so richly deserved. Why? Because we've come to the conclusion that Joe Blow of Owl Creek could take charge of the Yankees, and bring them in ahead of the pack. Because all other teams play dead when they come in contact with the Yankees in crucial game.-i. Let. Stengel bring one of the other teams in the American League to the pennant, and we'll start ap- plauding. ,

Our friend of "The Realm" jeers at us for prophesying the murder of the Dodgers on a certain satur- day afternoon. Well, as it happens. the Dodgers were murdered that day. Not a very messy teamicide, perhaps but they lost the game 2-0. So our crystal ball activities weren't so bad after all. Further- more. we prophesied the series would go seven games, while ”The Realm" prognosticator thought it would terminate in six. Tell you what we'll do, We'll give the perpetrator of ”The Realm" some lessons in the art of the soothsayer, if he'll promise to be a good boy and do his home work.
