All‘ Stars-Buthurst ' In Final Game At

Summerside

The most t game’ of the hockey season so far will be play- ed in the Crystal Rink. Summer- alde, tonight when thq All-Stars will be at home to the Bathurst Papermakers in the final game of a. two-game series for the 9.11.1.- N.B. intermediate hockey champ- ionship. Strnmerside is down one goal on the round. losing the game in Bathurst on Wednesday night by the high score of i2 to 11.

The local team arrived home by train last night tired after their long trip but confident that they can take the Pa-permakers on home ice ‘where they have been supreme all season. Reports from Bathurst are that the game there was lightning fast, which is in- dicated by the high score. so lo- cal fans should he in for acme- thing really exciting tonight.

‘Those who siw the game in Bathurst say that their goalie, Hlokls. is really something, and. although he let eleven past him, he stopped a. lot of rubber. The forward line cf McKay, Babll. Pitre contains their main offen- sive strength and they are not as well balanced a team as Sum- merslde. It is indicated that feel- ing ran high during the game with tnvo disputed goals so both teams will bg playing for keeps tonight. , ~

Due to some difficult; in con- nection with the referecing be- tween Bathurst Papermakers and Summerside All Stars at Bathurat Wednesday night. the MAJ-LA. has appointed Wick James of Monctou and Pete Mill of Amherst to ofificiate at the game in Sum- merside tonight. This arrangement was made in compliance with a request to president Campbell of the M.A.H.A. by Harold Mclvor. (resident of the local All Star team. ~— S

FAN . Murray Harbour.

Sir,~Being u. spectator at the final game for the P. E. I. inter- mediate hockey championship, on Saturday nlsht. March 18th. be- tween Murray Harbour Bruins and the Surmnersldo All-Stars at the Crystal Arena, Summeraide, I was greatly impressed by the King's County team. During my lifetime I have witnessed a great many hockey games. Never have I seen c. greater bunch of sports than the Murray Harbour boys.

The village of Murray Harbour may well be proud of their great hockey team. True. they did not take the championship, but they were playing a team far superior to themselvesa team which should not be in the same class. Murray Harbour should have fwght some other rural district for the title instead of Summerside-a team which has two ex-"pros" on its roster.

Another thing, Sir, which Il-hink the people of Murray Harbour would like to see cleared up is the question of manager-ship of their team- The Guardian of March ll acknowledged one Oriliy Les as manager of this teem. In the col- umn "Sport Echoes From Prince Cwllfy" (Guardian, March 15th) the writer also acknowledges Crilly Les as manager.

If Mr. Lea stated that he is manager of the Murray Harbour Bruins, then‘ he is the only one who thinks so. Members of the team deny this—and they should know. Credit should be given to those who earn it and, whoever is “eponsible for turning out such a fine hockey team in such a small community. certainly duerves a lot of credit.

I am. Sir, etc. JOl-liN W. MAC. Summerslde

The second N. B.-P. E. I. hoc- key title to be won by teams from this Province so far this year was wrapped up here on Wednesday night when the Art Perry coached Charlottetown Juvenile Victorias

trounced the Chatham Juvenile Legionaires by the score of 17-1 in a sudden death game for th! Juvenile championship.

O O O

The locals played a really smart brand of hockey all through the encounter, proving far too strong for the Chatham aggregation to take an easy victory which gives them the right to meet the Nova Scotia. champions for the Mari- time title, which will be either against Halifax St. Mary's or the Sydney Juveniles depending on who wins out in the series.

eaa

The Prince of Wales College Juniors brought the first title to the Province this year when they downed the Saint John Junior Maroons for the N. B.-P. E. I. title, but lost out later to Halifax Junior St. Mary's for the Maritime crown.

Another title is also in the mak- lnil. when the summerside All Star Intermediates clash in the second and final game of the series against Bathurst Papermakers at Summerside tonight for the two- province intermediate champion- ship. The All Stars lost out on a close 17-11 decision in the open- ing game at Bathurst On Wednes- day night. The series is a total goal affair and with Bathurst only holding a one goal advantage over All Stars, who are a tough bunch to beat in their own rink, makes the prospects look pretty good for another title coming to the Province.

The Summerside Juvenile Sheen- Maclnnis hockey squad, who lost out to the Juvenile Vics in the final round for the Island juvenile hockey championship, demonstrat- ed their true sporting spirit on Wednesday night when they sent a telegram to the Vics team be- fore the game against Chatham to wish them the best of luck in their encounter. The telegram read: "Come on boys. lets have a win. Best of luck."

Jim (Toronto Globe and Mali) Coleman says: “Several local ‘pressure groups‘ have been exert- ing their influence to have Ray Tlmgiren of the Toronto Maple leafs selected as the National Hockey League's outstanding rook- ie of the season. Timgren is a nice-looking. rosy-checked young- ster and. doubtless, he could dis- cover some manner in which to spend the $1.000 which goes with the Calder Trophy. If Timm-cn is fortunate enough- to receive the G-note. he should stick it in his kick and tear up the press clip- pings concerning the award. For this bureau's money, the current crop of ‘rookies’ is large but med- iocre in quality. ’

“Several weeks ego, on an 1m- perisl Oil bloadcast, we enrffili8d a non-voting preference for Penttl Lund of the New York Rangers. That fact alone should be enough to lose the dough for Lund. We selected Dund ahead of his moro- publicized teammate. Allan Stan- ley, of whom the best that can be said is that he doesn't ma/ke many mistakes on the ice. .

O O O

"Anyhow, we think that. under lift-Went conditions. the Calder 'I‘ro- phy is a laugh. It can be won by a man who played 20 games in the N-RL. in 1947-46, in addition to playing through the entire cur- rent cam-paign. We cling to the old-fashioned idea that a rookie’ is a recruit as of this season.
