The Summerside Crystals came to the end of the hockey trail on the night of Feb- ruary 9%. It looks as if they broke one record at least.

On their first night under the Crystal banner, they lost a game with 6 seconds to play. - You ean certainly smell Lady Luck’s perfume on a deal of that kind, Had the Crystals been lucky enough to score in those dying seconds instead of the Royals, they would have been playing their semi-final series with the Evinrudes instead of the Park- dale pucksters. We won't go into the advantages of such a switch because there are too many Evinrude fans looking down their noses at us already.

Burke Nabs Championship = In Sensational Fashion

| “Kitehener here we come.”

That was the chant of a delir- jously happy Charlottetown rink skipped by Art Burke after ‘win- ning the Prince Edward Island curling championship Saturday afternoon,

Burke, given little chance of

getting by the defending quart-'

et of Doug Cameron, pulled one of the greatest upsets in years and he did it in as dramatic a fashion as local curling fans had ever seen.

It was the thirteenth end and Doug appeared to have pulled. the decision out of the fire. He was lying one and Burke was down to the last rock of the con- test. Cameron's stone was close to the button and out front was a big red fuard that looked menacing to everybody but Mr. and a mighty close distance from that | Fed stone was a blue of the | Burke rink creating a tight | port.

The youthful skip looked the

The overflow crowd grew strangely silent as Art let go with his rock. Down, down it came as everyone om his or

soon had an occupant as Burke's

stone skimmed through on its| way to fame. Safely past the| barriers, it moved gracefully to- ward the Cameron red. There were gasps and cheers as the blue collided head on with Cam-| eron's stone and sent Doug's rock rolling out of the. house. But the Burke rock had no de-| sire to follow. It stayed quietly where the -collision had occurred and Burke and his mates went wild with jubilation. They had a biter counting number 2 but nobody cared a hoot. Incidentally the score was 7-5

The little opening |

match at 3-3 in the eighth, they apparently began to sense vic- tory. Except for the Cameron surge in the twelfth, Burke's rink refused to give ground.

There were three blanks ends in this overtime. struggle. The boys had no. rocks left. in -the house in the first, seventh and ninth. The seventh and ninth blank ends were by design, as Burke and Cameron began joc keying for position. Looking ahead to last rock on the twell- th, Burke blanked the seventh and Cameron did likewise in the ninth.

The only loss suffered by the new titlists during the British Consols play was a 96 setback by Myron Bell on Wednesday. Burke returned the favor to Myron on Friday and ousted Bell from championship play. Cameron was undefeated until

he met up with the red-hot Burke Friday night.
