And also the taro game series will be a better test of strength for both games. There is not a. great deal of satisfaction derived nut of a sudden death encounter mainly due to the fact _ that a team might just have an off-night that evening in question and would not have a chance to come- back.

Games are to be played on Wed- nesday and Friday evenings and it would encourage the local young- sters not a little if fans attended in large numbers on both nights. Vocal support can go a long way in helping the juveniles to pend even greater efforts than {hey do and could be one of the means whereby the locals might capture their second straight three-province‘ crowzl.

The crowd at the St. John-Can- adians tussle which could be tenn- ed as fair was nevertheless dis- appointing but it is expected that with much more interest being evidenced in the 00mins Klimt-i packed h0USBS'Sl'1'O\1l.d be on hand-

Although the league games in basketball have been ompleted nevertheless fans are still holding plenty interest in the game as is evidenced by recent suggestions that why riot have an all star team play the league winners. the R. C. A. F. All Stars.

Checking on this matter the writer finds that efforts along this line are being made by physical director of the Y, Wallie Scantle- bury, and it seems pretty definite that the game will take place early next week. . '

And the All Stars can be dc- pended upon to floor a squad that will give the league winners all kinds of trouble if not in fact The hoop season has been a most successful one and staging of the above mooted game would prove a fitting finale to it .

Despite the fact that they bare- ly edged into the playoffs Bos- ton Bruins still continue to be a distinct threat to reach the Slan- ley Cup finals. They never prov- ed this better than on Sunday night when they showed they had the ability to come from ehind to beat the Detroit Red Wags and knot the series count at 3 games apiece.

The defeat must have been a galllng one to Jack Adams‘ crew also. It marked the first time" since December, 194B. that the the measure of thc Detroit Club on Boston ice mid the Ross-coached outfit cer- tainly made it an opportune vic- oiy.

eon

Tonight the two teams shift back to Detroit for the seventh and final game of the series and according to the experts the two clubs should enter the fray as even choices. Wings of course will have the advantage of home ice and a homc crowd but this will mean little in the visitors as it will be remembered that Bos- ton came through with two straight victories over Dctroit in the first two games of the series played on Detroit lcc.

through then this writer will have A

all the qualifications needed for gaining admission to the 100 per cent wrong club. I O U

However we are going to trv and break even. We hope the fin-Pa we are crawling out on holds up; Detroit should win and enter the finals. Our face is going to be red if it doesn't work out but it couldn't be any redder than it was afer Saturday night's game.
