Rink . Wins Bon_spiei

By BERNARD DIIFIIESNE

QUEBEC. Feb. 23 — (OP) -- A 3- * chewan rink today won the Canadian schcol curling champ- ionship when it nosed out power- ful Manitoba by one victory in the last round of play.

Bill Clarke. skip of the Regina Scott Collegiate rink. thus became the third Prairie four to win the championship since the competition -was established three years ago.

other names to appear on the Sifton Trophy. presented to the winning rink are Franklin. Man., and Humboldt. sask.

Clarke won the title with a rec- ord of seven victories against two losses.

“ ‘atchewau was tied with Manitoba for first place going into the ninth and final round. when they defeated Prince Edward Is- land 7-6. while Manitoba lost 9-5 to Alberta.

A win for Prince Edward Island over Saskatchewan -would have set a five-way tie for first place which would have included the Char- lottetown rink, skipped by Doug Cameron.

Cameron almost made it that when he missed a Saskatchewan stone by a whisker on the last shot of the game. If he had succeeded in knocking the western rock out. two Charlottetown stones would have given him the victory.

This would have resulted in a five-way tie for first place, and 3. round robin playoff schedule to decide a winner.

All five top teams would have stood at six victories and three defeats.

FEBRUARY 24. 1g_5g

Four young Prince of Wales College curlers. Billy Platis (lead). Frank Acorn. Jr. (2nd stone), Karl Cameron (mate) and Doug Cam- eron (skip). certainly put Prince

curling

Ed/ward Island on the map this week. They oameup with an excellent showing to earn a third place tie with British Col- umbia in the Canadian School Curling Championships at Que- bec City. I I I I

The smart young curling quar- iei. not yet having had one full season of curling experience to their credit, captured five ‘wins out of nine matches against the best School curlers in the Dom- inion. They were the participants in some of't-he most exciting and keenly contested matches seen during the three-day champi - ship meeting. being the proud winners in some instances and the sporting losers in others.

I I I I

Starting to curl together -late last season for the first time. the youngsters started the current season where they had left off the year before. Under the watch- ful eye of David “’I‘ud" M.acLeod. they developed rapidly to capture the Provincial School Curling title at Summcrside about 10 days ago and earn the right to repres- ent the Island‘ in Dominion com- petition. ' .

. . .

Well. it was a close tussle oe- twceh the Kcnsington and Victoria Juveniles at the Forum Wednesday night. the best we have seen this year in Island Juvenile Hockey League competition. when the two squads battled it out to a 4-4 dead- look.

I I I

Starting out looking like a win- ning team after five consecutive defeats. the Vics racked up two goals in the early part of the first period for a two-goal advantage. and although they hung on grimly to the lead all through the period. the Kensington boys were a really going concern from the five mark of the period on.

I I I

Right on top of the puck con- sistently. Kensington forced the at- tack in the Vics zone to give goal- ie Thane Doyle a hot time of it and except for the youngsters’ smart performance between the pipes, -would have at least equalled the score by the time the period ended. Crowding.,the_net for at least ten of the fifteen minute’ period. the Westem hockeyists threw rubber right and left at the opposing cage. but had some tough breaks in the process, sometimes missing goals by inches.

I I I

Their continued attack was re- warded in the second period. how- ever. when they again took the play almost exclusively into the vies end of the rink and although Doyle again came up with smart saves. the Kensingtonites finally banged home the two equalizing tallies, and hold their rivals more- less.

I I I

Kensingtolf was still hot in the opening of the final session, and before the seven minute mark had been reached,‘ .ploded with two more goals to take the advantage that the City boys had held in the opening frame.

0 I

Faced with the grim thought of losing‘ all of their six starts in lesue play. bucked up a harassed Vics club about midway in the frame. and playing like they did in the opening part of the first frame. really turned on an aggres- sive offensive that throw the en- slngton crew for a loss. and our- ty-eight seconds after the last xensin ton goahbsnged one home themse ves to cut the lead to one goal. '

I I I

Forcing the attack inside the Kensington blueline. the vice bong- ed rubber at goalie Rogers from all lss in a desperate effort to t scoring. but the west:-n goaltender was right on the job

they came. to keep thinulooking bright for a winning cause. The

v battle continued. to rage around

the Kensingion code. and it ‘yes not until the last minute of the game that the visa rally paid off.

_..IlNlVII!lIY ‘I \

with only 52 seconds left in the and Ilclisdysn

and turned them Illdsjl fast. as .

With three goals by Jim " ‘ ko. two of them coming in ten

’ minutes of overtime. and some sen-

sational goaltending by Sonny MacDonald. the A ‘ ‘ Ramblers battled all the way to score I. s-4 victory over Halifax Saint Mary‘s in the third game of the semi-fin- al series in Maritime senior Hoc- key League play at the Charlotte- town Forum last night. .

The win puts Amherst Halifax by one game in the boat of seven series.

It was a fast, rugged encounter all the way with both teams com- ing up with one goal apiece in

the exception of the first eight or nine minutes of play. laid all over Amherst in the session, but sonny MacDonald came up with sensa- tional saves to keep the attackin; Saint Mary's squad to one goal. MacDonald had 1'! shots on goal against six for Donlevy in the frame. Mosienko got the opening goal at 8:53. Sullivan scoring for Halifax at 10.43.

Applying the pressure right from the start of the second frame. Halifax jumped into the lead with a goal by Provost and assisted by Sullivan at the 7:38 mark. but Amherst went wide open at that point to deadlock the score again just a little less than three min- utes later. Mousseau got the goal on a. smart three-mun attack with Lay and Macbougali. Continuing to hammer in around the Halifax

a 3-2 lead when he pounded one home past Donlevey from about 15 feet out during a gang attack. and although saint Mary's rallied in an effort to equal the score. the Ramblers’ defensive action held firm.

Amherst on Defensive

The third session was the slack- est of the game. with Amherst lay- ing back into -a defensive style of play and let Halifax carry the play to them, and made it work effectively too, until the closing seconds of the game when Halifax pulled out goalie Donlevy. and ganging up with six forwards, came through with the equalizer with 1'! seconds 1eft'in the game. Mac- Gregor notched -the goal on an attack with Schmidt and Brennan. MacDonald had 21 shots on goal and Donlevy 5.

Things looked grim for Amherst right from the outset of the over- time period when Halifax teamed up on a smart three-man passing attack from centre ice with Mac- Gregor netting his second of the night with assists from Brennan and Grabowski at the 14 second mark.

But Amherst opened up with the attack again and tied u-p the core at 3:28 when Renaud bangs one in on a pass from B. MacDonald in a pressure attack around the net, and continuing to press, came back again at 8:35 to go into the lead. The goal was Mosisnko‘s sec- ond of the night on a fast attack from centre ice with Robertson and Blackburn. With both teams play- ing one man short in the final minute of play. Ripley off for hold. ing and Steele off for slashing, Mosienko made a clean break at centre ice to go right in with no- body bsck to beat out Donlevy. it 'was Mosienko's third of the night. and put the game on ice for A-m- herst. The goal came with five seconds left to play. -
