final Tuesday night when they were beaten back by a 4-2 score. 'i‘hc santamarians now must Wlrl tonight's game in order to stay in the running but despite their re- verse many of their followers still are oi‘ the opinion that the Mari- time champions have thc neces- sary hockey ability to extend the series to a third and deciding game.

Probably for the first time this season the high scoring line of Hirachfield. Campbell and McGll- livray were kept off the scoring summary.

Possibility of the Eastern Canad- ian Tennis finals being played on the courts of the Charlottetown Tennis Club here was voiced at the annual meeting of that body on Tuesday night when Mac Mc- Kinnon, secretary of the Prince Edovalrd Island Tenn-la Association and one of the leading lights in the activities oi’ the Charlottetown Club made it known that providing suf- flclent entries are received from Quebec and Ontario centres. the tournament would in all likelihood take place here in the late sirmrner months.

Tired, but glad to be back after l. hectLctour of European rinks All Ihioh they played 42 games in so days, won 31 and tied six. the Flyorl stood up to a barrage of cheering. interviews. photographi-rs and press conferences.

But they looked folwarJ mainly to reunion urlth the wives. fmmllies and sweethearts they left behind when they sailed in January ns

doubtful bidders for Olylnpm honors. As Prime Alnistel- Mackenzie

King said in n message dclvercd by Defence Minister Ciaxton at the jammed Union Station. the Fly>rs had brought honor to themselves and to Canada.

"Their crown of victory as Olympic champions symbolises the continued supremacy of Canada in our national sport."

Later, at a press conference in the Beaver Barracks, llcxt to the audtoriurn vrhere they trainlxl bc- fore going overseas, thc same thought was voiced by Sqdn-Ldr. A. G, (Sandy) Watson. manager of the team. _

“Even the Czechs. who arc going strong for hockey these days. admitted by the time we left that Canada, is still the hockey centre of the world."

But he warned that bolh Czechoslovakia . and Sweden are strengthening their bsekvartl

hockey patterns and bflfllllhg Along their junior pucksters so quickly that they will be maior threats to Canadian supremacy in the future.

“We were onlv a mediocre team when we set out" admitted Col. i-‘ranl: Boucher. the Flyers‘ over- seas coach. “But over there we 111*! some really good senior Canadian teams." ‘ ,

‘llhe teams themselves were main- ly composed of Canadian players in many instances.

"But wfhen we h't Switzerland" he insisted. "w vere vor-d:”"""* made the. last three words ring with conviction.
