A fast skating, smooth passing band of Saint Dunstan's Colleg- ians last night defeated their more experienced rivils. the Char- lottetown Abbies. 0-2 in I. sudden death. semi-final City Leaguc hockey match at the Forum. The win gives the Saints the right t:;' meet the winner of the P.W.C.- Summerside series for the City Leagiie championship.

Clever goal tending by Gillis in the College net was one of the factors in Saint Dunstan": win

but Hcustis in the Abnie goal wasl

equally adept and it was mostly on brenkaways that he was beaten. W1iil0 Dunn of the Abbies. who played outstanding hockey for the losers, was in on Gillis several! lilllPs in the first period but wa i rvolihnd by the agile college net-1 minder. 1

The Million-1 aires aie losing their battle for first place solely because of their inability to beat the Islanders in

llhose important gaines. And the Islanders probably want that way. They have a very impres-

sive record against Halifax foi

,the league schedule and feel that

they ulii knock the Atlantic: out in the first round of the play-offs. . . .

Judg- ing by their recent gaines ills islanders are starting to hit their stride and ii. may be that they will hit the playoffs in top form.

. . . i As we see it the Islanders are into the play-offs this in butter condition than at any time since their first year in the Big Four. During the past, two years they hit the play-offs following a winning streak and were due for a let-up. This time they appear. to have come out of a slump and will be in a winningl mood when they face the Atlan- tics in the nine game seina.-final; series. Dick Irvin of the Montreal Canadiens used to claim that hoc-i key players could only go at top! speed for the same length of timei as I pigeon. A pigeon evidentlyi lean fly all-out for three weeks and it.hen- must let up.

at a fast. clip, haven't been play-

ing their but hockey in recent weeks. They are coming back ;into their own now and will be dangerous man in the play-offs.

1 The delegates at the Maritime Major Hockey League meeting on -Sunday didn't show mercy on the Islanders when they slapped I saw fine on the local team. The :650 fine was the balance due Glace Bay for the postponed Jan- uary 16th game. The Islanders had earlier paid 8500 and had ag- reed to re-play the game in Glace Bay. Unfortunately they were im- able to get to the Bay on account of travel conditions so Glace Bay demanded the extra money. The failure of the Minors to get here last Friday and the subsequent inability of the Islanders in reach Glace Bay on Saturday cancelled each other as far in fines were concerned.

0 o o

But in fining the Islander. 3450 the delegates should have given careful consideration in the fact that the Atlaritics failed to get here for a game in late January. It is still our belief that the M.- lantlcs could have arrived here by train had they made the necessary arrangnmerits on time. Admittedly there was s severe storm rnginiz but it didn't hinder train travel And according to the League re- gulations train and bus travel are tho only recognised means of tran- porlation. They weren't tied up nearly be much as the Islander: were here last Wednesday.
