And it won't be a meeting be- tween strangers. Rivulettes al- ready have taken the measure of Island squads three times but in each case they were extended to the limit; this year their task will be lust that .mu'ch‘ha;rdcr.

As Mentioned before, Islanders are a highly improved outfit this year over the the team that took two beatings-from the champions at Gait last year; skating better. showing a better all round know- ledge oi the game and determined to win thejitle, the serfs; should. alroducc clcsevexciti hockey all

Headed For Boston

TORONTO, April 5 _ (CP) - Strong as at any time since the std-ft of the National Hockey League schedule. Toronto Maple Leafs en- ‘rained tonight for Boston to open he Btanlev Cup finals with the Bruins in the hub tomorrow.

es. The team will arrive in Bos- tonin the morning and stay at the exchisive University club.

Delenceman Bingo Kampman could barely feel the soreness in the ankle he twisted when the Leafs knocked off Detroit in the semi- finals last Saturday night. Harvey Jackson was fully recovered from the knee injury he suffered before the playoffs.

but both after s. four-day rest should again ‘bednsc? form.

Hailed as the greatest team in forty years Bruins may be just a bit jitter against the unpredict- able Map e Leafs. Bruins have by far _the best season's record in gnmbs between the two clubs but _they will hardly forget what hap- pened in four previous playoff jousis against the ‘Smythian Cian.

O O

Leafs were actually glad Bruins had won instead of Rangers and the reason given by one of the Toronto team's executive was: ‘They are not so fast as the Ran- gers and we know exactly how to play them whereas you really nev- er know how‘to‘play the Rangers."

It may or may not hold good for the Leafs but it is bound to be a bitterly fought series in which there will be a. lot. of jockeying for advantage. Ross and smythe will - ‘ L‘, sume theF-r feud.

FClose Competition Expected

In Skating Championships At The Forum Tonight

_ for what is expected to be

amid»,

Thsstllowuallsetllstniglhit c most hotly contested Island Speed skating Championships ever to take place in the history of this annual event. an event which on at the Forum tonight star m at B_ o'clock sharp.

With the cream of the Island , “ snuinberingveryclosetd 100, records were expected to top- ple all along the line with cham- pions in every division facing the toughest kind of competition as they skate out to defend their titles from the challenge of old foes and a host of "dark-horses" who have been showing worlds of ability in recent workouts.

The promoter of the meet was hard-pressed for time in getting this year's event underway but lots hard work has brought about success and a M-event - gram for tonight is expec to furnish one of the most thrilling nights of the winter season. And‘ there has been plenty of thrills this season already.

Itwould be impossible to enum- erate all the events separately but the dashes and long distance races that are on the program are bound to be exciting affairs all the way _io the finish line and most fin-

ishes are likely to be blanket" affairs. A special event that is bound to go over big is the sched- uled relay race bet/ween Borden and a West Kent team. with both

Probably the most colorful of the entire meet will be the contest to decide the Island's most graceful skating couple. There is a lot of interest being taken in this feature and a large entry list is assured. However. Man er Archer an- nounced last nigit that any fur- their entries who have not yet en- tered may do so tonight at the Forum before the event gets un- derway. Bring along your skates and jump into this. Competent judges have been selected‘ and the officials likely will have a difficult task ahead of them.

Every year these championships. bringing out as they do the skat- ing abilit oi Island boys and girls. grows ter and better. Skaters improve, times are lowered. new champions are crowned and there is no reason to think that the Ls- land which has a reputation of doing things the best way. cannot improve on past performances.

Above is enumerated just a few of the highlights of a meet that will provide excitement, close fln- ishes and stirring displays oi speed on the steel blades. It is on-ly a few of them; there are many more so. as the meet gets underway at 8 o'clock sharp, be there early and get the best seats available. In this way you will avoid the lust minute rush of the big crowd that will be in attendance.

Oshawa Generals, playing back to the form expected of them skated Verdun LQHIB into the ice here to- night to score a 6-1 victory and even the series for the Eastern Canada Junior Hockey Champ- ionship.

Generals went to the front with a brace of goals in the first period and smred a pair in each of the

series.

Paul Hebert scored the Verdun tally on a pass from Frankie Eld- dolh early in the sewnd period. Eddolls did a trojans work on the defence and was the spearhead of many Verdun attacks. Along with
