The New York Rangers veteran often publicly ridiculed by his coach, Phil Watson. was the hot- test goalkeeper in the National Hockey League last week and had his best showing since early in the season in the efficiency ratings for NHL nelmindcrs.

Worsley. who received his lat- est blasting from Watson two weeks ago, limited the opposition to four goals in three games. He kicked out 93 shots for a .959 av-

erage. which boosted his season's shots for a .867 weekly average-

IN THIS CORNER Flyers' Series

,Could Help Youth Club

In case some hockey fans have not been attending the playoff games this year as yet. we might tell you that tho Psrkdala Flynn and Basilica Youth Club are stag- ing on: wing-ding of a series at the Sports Arena. With three games played the Flyers are leading 2-1 having won that hair-raiser Mon- day night and judging from the w the teams have been playing it ooks like it could easily go to the full seven garnu before a win- nor is decided.

Any doubts that might have been held about the youth club as contenders were dispensed with in the third period Monday. To the beat of our mamory. that marked the first time this year that any team has staged such a comeback against the potent Parkdales and it stamped the B.Y.C. as a real not faciad. thruts.

The biggest aloud hanging over the Parkdala camp now is the ser- les commencing with Fredericton Capitals. The Caps do not realize it. but they could possibly win the island League semi-final round for tho B.Y.C. Tho Flyors face Fredericton Thursday and Friday here and at Fredericton Monday, Tuesday and possibly Wednesday. Then they resume their series with the B. Y. C. That is a lot of hockey for players who play for fun without psy and work at other lobs to make a living. In fact it is a lot of hockey even if you were playing full time and could sleep all day after a hard game. should the Flyers get by Fredericton then they will be 918113! the North Shore League winner. If they can can go through all of these touilh

they will undoubtedly be given the chance to loan their names to vit- amin pill ads.

With this gruelling schedule fac- ing them. you can readily under- stand why they wers more than a little reluctant to agree to the ex- tension of the island League series to 7 games.

The other semi-final series re- sumes again tonight at the Sports Arena with Montague Primrose! and Aces facing each other. For this important game Bubby Dow- ling will have Dave MacLeod

During his holiday at Christmas time Dave played two games with Montague and the Primroses won both of them. We don't think it is any coincidence either for in those tussles Dave accounted for 4 goals and 2 assists. which is fancy scoring even in this league. The addition of MacLeod will give Bubby two dangerous scoring lines. Up front he will have Billy Hugol.
