Royals Take Series

THE expected happened and Parkdale Royals are in the 1 Ms of the Island Intermediate ‘A' Hockey league, ‘ San Frizzell's men were pitted against ‘Bucko’ Trainer’s ' boys in the semi-final set and we haven't heard of any great amount of Penguin money on the move. It was generally agreed that the Parkdalers could sideline the ambitious Penguins. This happened Thursday night and the ‘Buck' Whitlock coached Royals are now itching for a crack at the survivor of the Combines-Eagles series which has yet to name a Winner.

IT was a former Penguin who blasted the Birds out of the. playdowns Thursday. Billy Mulligan. making one of his few appearances with the Frizzellmeil, scored two of the winners' ' oa-ls and helped on three of the others. The diminutive redhead was all over the ice. Everytime he came over hoards it meant trouble to the Old Spaincrs.

Over 1000 fans saw a spirited hockey battle and both teams gave it all they had. The Royals were the better team on _the night’s play and deserved their triumph. However. the Juniors refused to be beaten without a struggle and the result was a ding dong fracas right to the final siren.

Everybody Happy

EVEN the Penguins' supporters seemed pleased with Thursday’s tussle. Although they wanted their team to prolong this series, they were rather elated at the way the Birds went down to the defeat. The Royals surely knew they were in a hooky series and they earned every decision they garnered.

We had the idea that the series might end in a one-Sided contest but we were dead wrong and mighty glad we_ were. There was only one game in the series where the affair was one-sided. That was Royals’ 7-2 verdict in the second game. The rest of the series produced tight battles that were in doubt

Royals Had Problem

E imi line that Royals are happy that this series is over. Althougahg all games were played at The Sports Arena, the Royals never got much fan support. Undoubtedly it was a case of cheering for the underdog and givmg very little only boos to the efforts of the Royals.

It was a tough series any way you look at it. These Pen- guins could cause you grief if you gave them much opportunity. You just had to forget they were juniors. and keep banging away at them. Alter all, they were competing in playoffs With intermediates, so they must be ready to he treated like inter- mlflfii’rently some of the fans thought the Royals had no business roughing up the Baby Birds. This was the only way you were going to beat them, and .after all Sandy s boys want- ed a crack at the Island intermediate crown. . I

W t think the Penguins went into this series expecting to treat them as paperwci-ghts. The series meant ore to the Royals than it did to the Penguins. This was the classification that Royals must win in if thcy are to ad- vance ong the Maritime intermediate trail. They've won this series and now await a winner in the ‘3' section still in progress.

No Hard Feelings

THERE surely was no bitterness once the series came to an and Thursday night. The fellows who played it the hardest were out there shaking hands with their ‘enemies" oi the a , :five games. The affair was over and the boys discarded an I bad feeling that crept in during the encounters There was no beefing from ’ .

In fact, the Parkdalers made it _ had really made them fight every inch of the way.

Now as each team goes its separate way in junior and intermediate playdowns, Royals will be Pcnguins’ routers and . the Birds will be hollering for the Frizzcllmen. Both are seek- ing top Maritime honors and each is anxious that the other achieve its goa. ‘

Congratulations to both Royals and Penguins on a good
