Performing over their home ice on Saturday night, the Kensington Juvenile hockeylsts pounded out a decisive 10-3 victory over the Sum- merside Kinsmen juveniles to take

the two-game semi-final playoff series by a 15-7 count‘ and leave no doubt in anybody's mind as to who will meet the Charlottetown Abhies hero on Wednesday night in the opening grime of the best of three series for the Island juvenile hockey championship.

. 0 . .

Taking ll 54 victory over Sum- mcrsidc at the Western Capital earlier in the week in the opening game of the series. the smart play- ing blind of Kenslngton pucksters lost no time in adding to the one goal advantage they took into the game with them Saturday, They banged home,three goals to two in the opening frame and ran rampant in the two final cantcs to chalk up seven more and allow Summcrside only one more, which came in the sandwich session. I C 0

The only team to send the schedule winning Abbles down to defeat, Kensington's strong show- ing throughout regular and semi- final play should make the pros- pects bright for a hang up final series with the local squad which will get underway at the Forum this Wednesday night. and both Charlottetown and Kenslngton hoc- key fans can plan on seeing some smart hockey before the series is over and the winner has been de- ciarcd. 0 O O 0 Although many local supporters feel that the Abbies are the favor- ites to win the series with their fast, wide-open passing style of play, the Kcnslngtonltes are an aggressive band of pucksters that play a very deceptive brand of hockey, and are always on the puck, and as they did once before, may‘ again have a big surprise in store for the locals before it is over. In any event it should be an action packed series and will be looked forward to with much’ln~ terest by those who have been fol- lowing the leaguc.-.thi.s season. . .

Still on the subject of hockey. there should also be plenty of action at the Forum tonight when the Summcrside Crystals and the Prince of Wales College Welsh- men clash in the second and final game of their extra two-game scr- ics to decide the fourth team to enter the Island Intermediate A I-loclscy League ‘playoffs.

.

Taking a 9-6 victory in the open- ing game at Summerslde on Thurs- day night, the Crystals will be going into tonight’: fray with a liberal three goal advantage in the total goal series, and will make it a really uphill climb for the Gor- don Bennett coached crew. In ad- dltion. the Wclshmen will he with- out the services of one of their key forwards. Phillip Jardine, which will make the going even tougher. Jardine is at present a patient in the hospital suffering from an attack of piieumonla and was absent from the lineup in last Thursday's game and 'is likely to be out for the remainder of the season.

0 I O O

However. the Welshman are not beyond upsetting the playoff applecart, and there is he telling what the final result will be, but it is a safe bet that fans will see a really wide-open contest that will pack plenty of wallop.

Promoters Harry Poulton and Bud Lund who have been taking things easy for the past few weeks due to the heavy schedule of sport- ing events, will get their boxing programs rolling again next Tues- day night when they will stage a six bout card at the Whclln Memorial Hall.

St. Mary's Take Second. Game In Finals From Saint John Beavers 4-2 -

1-IAl..I.li'Ax. March 6 — (OP) - Halifax St. Mary's took a two-game lead in their Maritime senior Roc- key League finals with saint Johtt Beavers tonight as they defeated the visiting squad 4-2.

Third and fourth games at the beet-of-seven series wiil'bs played at Saint John Thursday and sat- urday. winner of the series will‘ battle with the victor of the Syd- ney Miilionsires-Glace Bay Miners series in the Cape Breton loop for the Maritime title.

Saints first string of Brennan- Pord-Mcorogor made it 2-0 in the opening period but Beavers came back to make it closer with the only tally of the second frame. Each squad scored one in the early minii‘ of the closing stanza and -were battling furiously in the dy- ing seconds before Bert Steel shot mother for saints into an open Beavers net. _

George McGregor shot the first marker of the game at the 10.32 mark after skating through the Beavers defence. He took the puck from a peasant in his own zone.

Tommy Breenan shot the only other goal of the period less.than a minute later when he took a pass- out from behind Beavers net from Bill Ford. Beavers goalie Floyd Perrss appeared slow on the shot.

Tricky Dickie Wray made it 2-1 when he shot the only goal of the middle frame on a two-way pass- ing piay with Vic Jackson and Bill Kenna. saints were two men short at the time with Pat Powers and (Peanuts) McLaughlin serving time in the penalty box for tripping.

Halifax’: starry first‘line. which figured greatly in Saints Satur- day night 7-2 win, was broken up during the early minutes of the third period when Brennan went off with an injured wrist.-Brennan and Ralph Orouohe were wrest- ling when Nick Nicolle gave Bren- nan s. heavy check. The injury to Brennan was not serious and he returned later in the gsme.

Gordie Armstrong .eplaced Bren- nan and after picking the puck away from Croucher scored saints first goal of the period. It came at 2.12 unsssisted.

Crouchsr made an unsuccessful attempt to block the shot but de- flected it to confuse Perras.

Buck Whltlock added hope for Beavers when he took a rebound and shot it past l-lallfax net.inind- er Jack Donlevy to make it 3-2. Maurice (Mousie) Dowling lined a hard drive at the saints net but the nibber missed and struck the boards. It bounced out in front of the citadel and Whltlock slipped it in

with one minute of play remain- ing. Beavers yanked Perras and sent six forwards into action in an all-out drive to tie the score. close Halifax checking made it tough for Beavers and they got only one hard shot at Donlcvy before Btscl cleared the puck off the boards and down the ice and into the open Beavers net at 19.57. \

Both teams were checking heav- ily but play was clean and only four penalties were handed out.

Donlevy and Perras played strong games. as they did in the opening tilt. with I‘ ‘ , stopping 32 shots and Peri-as blocking :3 pros- pective markers.

Beavers continued their strategy of shooting from outside the Hall- fax blueline and saints continued to drive it into the saint John end in typical playoff style.

Congratulations to the Kendal- fnn Juveniles on winning the semi- flnals of the Island juvenile lico- key playdowns. They are a smart band of puck juniors and seem to have been exceptionally well coach- ed this year (Take a bow. Bill). when they get an opposing team behind its biueline. that team has a problem on its hands to break into neutral ice again. Their power play is really terrific and sum- nierslde had nothing comparable to offer. The Kenslngton lads are rugged but clean. we don't think any team in their age division will push them around too much, and yet. they do not go looking for trouble, at least the only trouble they go looking for is trouble for the poor bllghter with the big pads in the other end of the rink, and, believe us, he gets plenty of grief.

0 I

They have ; tough job but out for them to beat the Charlotte- town Abbies for the'Island cham- pionship. In a home and home series, total goals to count. their chances would be brighter, but, we understand, the series will be de- cided by games instead of total goals, and the Kcnsington boys don't seem to get their plays roll- ing so well on foreign ice. Their chance of taking their home game should be better than even. '

O O I

The scribe who wrote that Ken- sington Juveniles are trying for their first juvenile Championship -was in error. In the spring of 1940 a Kensirigton Juvenile team won the Island one pionshlp and play- ed off with Amherst for the nai- ston Trophy, the first year it was up for competition. These Kon- sington Bombers defeated Char- lottetown in a suden-death game by th score of 6 to 4. The game was la starting and went on into ‘the wee small hours of the morn- ing. At 11 a.m. the same morning the Bombers took on the Borden juveniles and beat them 4 to 2. ,'.l'here were about 25 or 30 Ken- sington hockey fans watching this game.

A former Kensington a ‘dent and rabid hockey em I: sent me this information and I have a fair- ly clear recollection of these dra- matic evénts, having lived in Ken- sington at the time. Those were the lean years of hockey when the flame was kept alive by Kali McLean, Keith I-Iowstt. Orville Dari-sch, Jim Pendergast, Geordie Brookins and. the late J.A. Thomp- son. some of the hockey lads of those days were Billy McLean. Carl Woodside, James Saunders. (as bright a goalie prospect as we've seen). Dillon McNally. who afterwards helped Suinmerside win the Maritime Juvenile title.
