The Parkdale Flyers. in a jubi- land mood after their unexpected win over the Basilica Youth Club on Tuesday night. gathered togeth- er out at manager Barry Moore's snack bar after the clash to have A minor celebration and talk over various aspects of the game. Not all of them were there but included in the crowd were goaltender Frank Roper and forwards Dempse Gre- gg-y. Boby Hurry and Willie Dunn. . per. who had every reason to be in a happy mood. was bubbling over with joy.

"We can beat them anytime." laid Frank. "We got the boil team in the league and as long Iii the team plays the kind of hockey they did tonight nobody in this league is going to beat us." Frank lot nods of assent from just about everybody the place for indeed the Flyera did play terrific hockey against the youth club. They didn't look anything like the team that crum- bled 6-3 in the third game and even if their ace blueliner Junior Macl.eod had been in the lineup their defense couldn't have been much better. All three of the rearguards Ralph Josey. Kip Ready and Pete lllll turned In great games and probably stop- ped more rubber than goalie Rop- Q!

But Frank's claim that the Fly- ors weren't going to be beaten did- llot go unchallenged. Ex-Montague Primrose forward Apps Arsenatllt was in on the discussion too and was quick to point out that if the Flyers do get. by the B.Y.C. they will have their hands full with either the Saints or Montague in the finals. "Don't forget." said Apps." the Prtmroses took three out of four games from you guys during the year and they are a better team now than they ever were."

Frank wasn't knocking his own defense in wishing that MacLure wore a Parkdale uniform. Few will disagree that Ready. Josey and Hill gave him about as much protection as a nctmlnder can reasonably expect from his de- 1 tense. Frank was just " ' ,, a thought that has probably at one time or another gone through the beads if not mouths of every coach and goalie in the league. MacLure has been the solid man of the B. Y.

Important Game

Montague-SDU Resume Tonight

The Montague Primroses and St. Dunstan's Unlveralty go at it again tonight. It's an important game too. with the series all squared away at one game each the winner of tonight's contest will emerge an the holder of a very definite advantage needing only one other victory to win the series and advance to the finals against either Parkdale or the B.Y.C.

St. Dunstan's got off to a roar- ing start ln the series as they smothered the Pi-lmroses under a barrage of goals in the third per- iod of the first game but in the second encounter it was Montague who had the drive in the late stages of th game and came out with a victory.

Bubby Dowling will likely go along with the same lineup that handled the Saints in the last game with one exception. humping Joe Coyle will be back on the blueline and ill undoubtedly make his pre sence felt before the game is over.

If A.J. MacAdam of the Saints goes along with his usual policy of alternating goalkeepa it will be will Gillis' turn to tend the pipes for Saints. Gllllii. owner of the best goals against average during lea- gue play. played senaatiinal hockey in the aemi-final opener.

Fiery Gaston Roy will be in the Saints lineup also A1: a meeting of the league executive last night it was decided that Roy will be given a chance to explain his conduct at

to the league this afternoon. But in any event no suspension will be handed out.

There will undoubtedly be an- other bumper house for the game and fans are reminded that they would save themselves a lot of Illi- necessary delay if they bought their tickets during the advance sale at the Sports Arena from 12 noon .ntil 1.30 or from 4 p.m. until game time.

Game time is 8.30 sharp.

1 Jackson Says He's Happy f -About Trade To Dodgers

By JACK BAND

MIAMI. Fla. (AP)-"1'm going to send the Cubs a Christmas card every year. Just to show my thanks."

That in how Ransom Jackson feel: about the December trade that brought him i.o the world champion Brooklyn Dodgers from the sixth-place Chicago Cubs.

"1 always wondered how it would be to hit in the Brooklyn park 77 games a year." he said. "A lot of balls that are caught in Chicago should go into the stands at Brook- lyn. In Chicago it seems there's always a wind blowing. if It's blowing in. you've got to really rap the bail to reach the stands. If it's blowing out. a pop fly will fall in.

"Lent year I hit 21 homers for the Cubs. 1 figure I ought to hit 30 for Brooklyn."

J kaon, 30. is confident of win- the third base Job from Jackie Robinson. "1 don't mind a fight," he said on the first day of spring training. "Robinson has been a great player but i expect to play on this club.”

It is the opinion of many in the Dodger camp that .Ia('llMlIi will play third with Robinson lll left field. Jackson played the outfield once at Chicago but after he messed up three fly balls and fell down while chasing them he came back to the infield to stay.
