MONTREAL. Jan. 3 - (CP) - Montreal Canadiens broke a. sec- ond-place deadlock with Toronto Maple Leafs tonight, defeating Leafs 3-1 in a hard-hitting, bruis- tng game before'a crowd of 14,492.

Paul Meger and Floyd Curry scored for Canadians in the open- ing period. Harry Watson counted for the Leafs in the final period but Toronto's bid to over-haul Canadiens came abruptly to an end when Bernie (Boom Boom) Geof- frion put Montreal two goals up.

Both teams tossed in everything they had and there wasn't a dull moment. A blow-up threatened in the second period but the rumpus was quickly quelled, Butch Bouch- ard and Fernie Flaman came out of the affair with minor penalties

The fast-travelling Montrealei-s now have won five straight Elltl have taken nine of their last 12 giunes.

Little Paul Megerls goal came late in the opening period when he took Geoffrion's pass at close range and fired the puck under goalie Al Rollins. A minute later Curry found himself with the puck in the clear after Dickie Moore's shot was

The second period was scoreless hut bitterly fought. Then in the third big Harry Watson shared a loose puck outside the Montreal trlueline and blasted it low cornsi shot into the net.

The game started away on it rough note and there were indica- tions that there was going to be a battle. Bailcy received a penalty shortly alter the opening whistle and about ten seconds later there was a scuffle in a corner. ”Thci-e's going to he a riot," commented one over heated fan hehind the press.

Things quieted down from then on. however. and although the second period was fairly lively

there were no indications of flare-

The .second period was the roughest of the night and the crowd seemed to love it. A lady sitting behind the press box re- marked that. the old Sydney-Glace Bay rivalry had died out and had hccn replaced by a Charlottetown-

Bay feud. ”Sydney looked tame compared to those fellows." she commented.

Johnny Myketyn and Johnny Dutchak handed out tiic stiffest body checks of the gang. My- ketyn hit "Red" Favero with a hip check and Dutchak smashed Poile with in. body drive that re- sounded around the rink. My- kciyn, a native Bay son. appear- ed to be hero No. 1 in the coal centre as his every move drew the applause of the crowd. My- ketyn and Sheldon Bloomer play- ed most of thc mime on defence ms Cooper and VVindlc,v are ill with the 'flu. Winriley started but iiizid to retire in the second per- .iod. His place was taken by Pete lwywroi.

The Forum was full of tension in the last seconds of the game as Arncil strived to keep his shut- out. The Islanders were turned back at his door step time after time in the last stanza. While the Miners had penalties the Is- landers stormed around his cita- del but were denied either by

Arncil or his clcvcr blocking mates. 0 O -I The Miners showed the dash,

fight and scoring punch which has been the ear-mark of the Is- landers until their recent slump. Had the Islanders been able to score one goal they probably would have been home ahead of the Min- ers but they could not get that one marker. In the last two games at Glace Bay the Islanders have been lscoreless. O 0

Coach Leo Lamourcux. who along with the players took quite in riding from s behind the players bench, used the "Kid Line” a great deal in the last period. At one time he placed .Trainor at centre between Mac- 1 Kenzlc and Smith but it was still no on.

The Glace Bay fans have no love for the referees. Wthen .ref- eree Elliott penalized a Glace Bay player the fans booed him and; ithrew paper at him. when he gave a penalty to the Islanders ;there were cries of "Good old El- lliott. you know what you are do- lng Elliott."

Program comments Unable To Stir Glace Bay Fans

Following are : few excerpts from comments in the program L”:t-pared at Glace Bay last night for the Miners-Islanders game The comments, however. made no impressions on the 'fans. who be. naved in an orderly although noisy

manner:

"Leo the Lion. with his rough. and ready Islanders arrived to do battle with the Miners tonight. At-l ter their defeat Monday. counled with another loss to st. John Bea-I Vern Tuesday. they will probablvl be in I vicious mood. However, for various res.sons., coach Polls and his boys are expected to be very. interested in handing out more than they will take.

"Due to injuries, Miners landed at Charlottetown with the mini- mum of twelve men. In spite of that they slammed their way to 1 9-0 deolsio .

"Employing their usual tactics Islanders tried about everything in the books against our boys.

"Pete Wywrot wu boarded from behind after the whistle hnzl blown. Vitnle broke Bailey's nose with 0. high stick. Nothing daunt- ed, Bailey returned in the ice and scored two goals. .

"It. becomes more and more ap- parent on the schedule rolls along that Islanders are a bunch of cry babies. They got. away with may- hein on their own Ice and seem to have the referees buffsloed."

THAT'S WHY

Islanders To

Take -on

Moncton Hawks Tonight

Hungry for I win and vowing that they will break out of their slump tonight the Islanders will take on the fast improving Mone- ton Hawks in B Maritime - Major Hockey League game at the Forum.

Talkative Johnny Horeck. whose favorite past-time has been taking verbal punchel at coach Leo Lam-

. oureux. will lead a team Into town

that has been victorious in its last three starts.

Last: Saturday night. the Hawks defeated the Miners 7-3; on Mon- day night they downed the Beav- ers 2-1 and twenty four hours lat- er Sydney were on the losing end of a 5-3 score. . Leading the Hawks' attacks has been fomier Islander Marcel

Clements who has been hitting a it

hot scoring pace in the past two weeks, In the last seven games played by the Hawks Clements has scored ten points.

Back on the Islanders defence tonight will be Phil Vitale. who was given a holiday yesterday. It Is doubtful if ”Buck" Whltlock will be able to start.

A win over the pesky Hawks to- night would secure Islanders hold on second place. The Islanders are only five points uhead of the Hawks and the Monctori Club has played three less games,

This will be the Hawks first ap- pcarance here since they under- went. I change of ownership
