Series Ibis Week

The Abbics will play a home and; home series or a sudden-deathl game with the Glace Baygcale-, donias this week for the Maritime Senior Rugby Championship, it was learned here last night from Elmer Blanchard, Chairman of The Abbies Football committee.

The Caledonlas want a home and home series and the Abbios will agree provided that the last game is played here. The first game, would be played in Glace Bay on; Wednesday and the second here on Saturday. If the teams are un- able to agree on such a series a sudden-death game will probably be played in Truro.

The Abbies, remembering the Glace Bay series of three years ago when they were short-timed, will insist on Roy MacDonald be- ing the referee at Glace Bay. They, will also request that a number of M.R.U. officials attend the game.

The series will definitely be played on this week provided there is not a postponement on account of a Glace Bay-Halifax Wanderers mis-understanding on Saturday. Halifax failed to show up for their scheduled game witlv' Glace Bay on account of n "Phony Telegram."

13-10 To EV

The Prince of Wales College foot- hall team defeated the Second Saint! 13-in Saturday afternoon to

'even the best of three Intercol-

legiate series at a game each. The Saints won the second game 3-0 after the two teams battled to a 10-10 draw in the opener.

The Welshmen, after forcingthe play, led 5-0 at the end of the first half and were ahead 13-2 with only three minutes left in the game. The Saints forged to the attack In the dying minutes and struck for two quick trys and a convert to come within three points of earning a draw.

Both teams were minus several of their first string men. Gordon Bennett's players however, showed no ill effects as their -scrum con- trolled the ball and their half-line run well. ,

The Saints, who lost two of their heavier forwards, fielded a light team. Although outplayed they capitalized on the breaks to almost turn defeat into victory.

Wlngman Dave MacLeod ac- counted for all the winners points in the first half. He ran for twenty-five yards to score a try at the thirteen minute mark and six minutes later he scored I beautiful 35 yard penalty kick.

Arnold MacLean set up Mac- Lead for the openihg try with a short. pass on the twenty-five yard line. MacLeod raced around the S. D U. wing and fullback to go over at the comer. The attempted con- vert. was short.

The Welshmen continued to force the play into the S.D.U. territory and at. the 19 minute mark they were awarded a penalty kick from 35 yards out. MacLeod took the kick and the ball bounced on top of the cross bar and over to make the score 5-0.

The Welshman scored within the first five minutes of the second half. Forward Arnold Macliean following up on a loose ball scored the first try and Brewer Auld scored the next.

The Charlottetown ted off mud covered Field in Saint wick on Saturday hurdling their first obstacle. on their march towards the Maritime Senior Rugby Championship and the Mccurdy Cup. On a frozen field that was covered with water and mud the Abbies played one of their toughest games as they held the Saint John .Vfai-iners to a scoreless draw and thereby won the NB.- P.E.l. Senior Champioiiship. The Abbies took the two game home and home series by a five point margin as a result of their 7-2 win over the Mariners here on the previous Saturday. 0 O 0 We didn't see the game but from all reports it was a rugged gridiron battle played under very adverse circumstances. To begin with, it as cold in Saint John, so cold in fact that the ground had been frozen. About ten olclock Saturday morning rain commenced and it continued throughout the day. By game time the field was covered with mud and water under which was frozen ground. . .

The Abbics had an edge on the play and a territorial advantage on their saint John opponents. Harold l-fowatt and Briar Chandler both came close to scoring and both thought they had crossed the line. However, in Saint John they have the five yard line marked in lime on the field and this con- fused the eager Charlottetown players on their scoring sorties. The Mariners pressed determined- ly during the closing minutes of the game but the Abbics put up a grim defense to hold their rivals off the score sheet.

0 C O The Abbies, under the direction of coach Jimmy Coyle, played a hard. driving game, As" a number of the players stats-d yesterday it was so cold they had to keep driv- ing. If they let down for a second they were beat. They came home bearing plenty of battle scars es- pecially painful skin bruises from the frozen ground. Jack and Char- liiz Ready. Harold Howatt, Claude Field and Ebbie Devine received hospital treatment yesterday for knee and hip bruises. Field also had it bad cut on the sole of his foot as the result of a boot in- jury.

0 O C The series clearly showed that the Ahbies were the better squad and w think they were playing as rugged and as good a team as they will meet in the Marltimns. Coaches Jimmy Coyle and Elmer Blanchard had a big. riigged. well conditioned tmim and While the Abbies may not have all the scor- ing punch in the world they have so much drive that their oppon- ents can't get organized. This is pretty Well evidenced by the fact that their llnn hasn't been crossed in four games.

Bingo Ernst

The-rc's player help on the way for the Charlottetown Islanders and some of it may be here tonight when the Islanders take to the ice at the Forum for another encount- or with the surging Glace Bay Miners.

Lloyd "Bingo" Ernst, the hard- ihitting rearguard, who played sev- 'eral games with Halifax Atlantics and was recalled by Montreal last week, should be in town Tuesday. to play with the Islanders, it was learned last night from coach "Buc'ko” TIBIIIOF.

Ernst is presently in Valleyfield. Coach Tralnor was in touch with him yesterday and Ernst stated that he would not turn professional with Valleyfield and that he could obtain his clearance to play with the Islanders. . A 21-ycear-old forward Guy Gignac who played with the Que- bec Citadels last year is flying here today and should be here for the game tonight.

Gignac is a left winger who tried outpwith the Quebec Aces at the start of this season. He comes recommended by Punch Imlach, the Quebec Aces general manager.

Bill LeBlanc, a defenseman who played with the Quebec Aces for two years, will also join the club and may be here this evening or on Tuesday. In his younger days he had a couple of try-outs with the Boston Bruins. g

He has played considerable hoc- key and was a member of the Quebec Aces defense corps of two years ago. Last year he started in the Quebec League and late in the season went down to Mont Joli of the Provincial League.

LeBlanc is a big, colorful rear- guard who can hit with authority. He is also a good puck carrier and team man. Trainor expects that he will leave for here today.

Ernst and Lenlanc will add llot of strength to the Islanders .blueline corps. The body-thumping Ernst was a standout player in the Quebec League with Valley- field for several years prior to this season.

Vallcyfield coach Toe Blake used every means in his power to retain Ernst's services for this year. Through a working agreement with Canadiens he had the player re- called from Halifax.

Both Ernst and Tralnor maintain

that there are no strings attached to his deal with the Islanders. As for the Islanders-Miners game tonight it's a battle for sole posses- sion of third place. The two clubs are tied for third place as a result of the Miners double win over the Islanders last week.

The Miners were very impressive in their victories over the Island- ers and their showings stamp them as one of the best teams in the lea- gue. However the Islanders with their added strength will be out to! even matters with their Glace Bay rivals.

DETROIT, (AP)-Ted Lindsay spoiled a magnificent goal tend- ing exlilhitlon by New York's Johnny Bower Sunday night by scoring with less than three min- utes to play to give Detroit Red

Wings a 2-2 tie with the Rang- ers.

Bower, the Rangers' veteran rookie, was sensational in the ihird period, turning aside shot after shot. as it seemed he was” lplaying the entire Detroit team

by himself. He made 32 saves in the game and was going all out in an effort to celebrate his 29th birthday with a flourish.

But, at 17:14 of the final per- iod, rookie Dutch Re-ibel' hopped, out of the penalty box and drill-1, ed A long drive at Bower. Lind-, say, standing in front of thcl cage, poked his stick at the puck and it icaromed into the net. It was a disappointing goal for Bower, a newcomer to the Na- tional Hockey Lcaguc who lind spent the last eight years with Cleveland in the American Hoc- key League.
