Thousands Jain Gardens To Pay Tribute To Late

Robert Moose ’ Ecclestone

C By Allan Nickelson anudian Press staff writer

TORONTO, Jon. 3'0._t(;'p1__ Magnificent tribute to a. Toronto BPOPISll-Bll Whose heart was as big as his frame. 13.563 sport lovers overflcwed Maple Leafs Gardens tonight. al- tilc Rcbert tMOOSe) Ecclestcue Memorial Night in 0,19 of the greatest rallies ic the mem- ory of an athletic figure ever re- corded in Canadian sport annals.

Entire prvcccch of the 3 l-Z-hour program. featuring a 20-minute game between Toronto Maple Leafs and former and resent National Hockey League payers as well as a. speed competition among the fastest puck carriers in the N.H.L., went to the widow and family of Ekwlaswnc. 33-year-old manager of Toronto senior amateur hockey clubs who died last March from injuries suffered in an autcmobile accident. The proceeds, expected to total $11,030, will be placed into an annuity.

The list of events included a scheduled Ontario Hockey Associa- tion Senior "A" game between Tor- onto Marlboros and St. Catharines and the crowd was the lartzest ever to witness e senior league tilt here. It served to fulfill a prophesy of the leather-lunged Moose that "someday we'll be packing them in at Maple Leaf Gardens."

Just as Moose would ave liked it—he'd be standing up side the. players’ bench oufhollcring the crowd-the professional match ended in a mad free-for-all when in the last minute of play the en- tire so-callecl all-stars Jumped nn the ice and ganged the Maple Leafs for 1W0 goals and a. 3-3 tie The timer held back the clock to

low the old timers to score the tying counter.

The game brought back the

famed "kid line" of the Leafs of other years which had been broken up with the retirement of centre Joe Primeau several years ago. The three. Primeau, Harvey Jackson, now with Boston Bruins, and Char- lie Conacher, retired. received a huge ovation as they started a- Kuinst the crack present-day Leaf line of syl Apps, Gordie Drillon and Don Metz.

Pilot Officer George Hay of the R/oyal Canadian Air Force. former N.H.L. great. scored the final two goals for the ‘ancients’ after Pri- meau started them on the way with a tally with less than two minutes of play remaining. The Leafs led 3-0 at that time on goals by Apps. Drillon and Sweeney Schriner.

‘Iue old boys’ dressing room reeked with the odcr of arnlcs, af- ter the lhatch and a special rock- in-i chair was provided for the ac ing limbs of balder-than-ever Baldy Cotton

Other old-timers facing the Leafs were Kin-g Clancy. Red I-iorner, Alex Levillsky, Jimmy Fowler. Ed- die Convey and Hap Day, present Leaf coach who was not spared on the body checks.

They all were one-tinle leaf per- formers and were augmented by such present-day players as Art Jackson, Jack Crawford and Dit Clapper cf tile Bruins, friends of the Moose who asked to be allow- ed lo take part in the memorial. In goal was Dave Kerr. who played with New York Rangers until th season. He is now retired.

The game recalled ceremony that attended a NHL. all-star game here Fob. 14, 1934, in hcncr of Ace Bailey. Leaf forward who had been seriously injured a few months previousl . Bailey served as a lines- m-an at onightfs game.

R.C...A.F. Take First Game Of Island Series Turning

Back R.A.F.

Squad 5 - 2

Piling up a. 5-1 load in the first period and then holding their op- ponents on even terms in the final two sessions Summersides R. C. A. F. hockey squad last night drew first blood in the battle for the Airmen's hockey championship of the Island as they downed a fight- ing RAF. team flom Charlotte- town 6-2. ‘Ilie teams move to Sum- merside for the second game of the series Tuesday night and judging by last night's struggle westcrn ans are in for an exciting 60 minutes of hockey.

As was fully expected last night's encounter turned out to be a bruis- ing hard-hitting struggle all the wayand developed from what look- ed like an easy victory in the f" ‘st period for the Sllmmerside fLv-zrs into a close-knit struggle for the final two sessions. RAF. getting away to a slow start saw their op- ponrnts pump in rive quick goals in the first period and after the half- way mark had been reached before they broke into the scoring column. But taking in the slack the losers shot their first goal before the ses- slon ended; they held their oppon- ents to a solitary counter in the middle canto and then displaying weir best form of the evening out- scored and out-played the visit-in! squad 1-0 in the third and final session.

Tile story of the result of rho game hinges all on about five min-

is utcs in the first period. As the

teams went into action the 500 fans present saw both squads one-n out wide. Right from the outset bodies were used with telling effect anal play was rough. But ilinee penalties handed out in quick ordcr cmled the ardor of the boys and the tcams settled down to fast skating rugged hockey. Over ten minutes claps-ed mid it was still a scorc- less battle as bath goalies turned in spectacular raves but suzlrlezlly a penalty to an R.A.F. player chang- ed the ccmplexion of the game. While the penalized player was still serving time the R. C. A. F. team raced into the lend as Gun- icr snared n lcoss puck lllqaltlc tlm RAF‘ line to boat ilwe ll-etlnltiicl‘ Wllll a. sliding shot. Three lllllllliii fill/Pl‘ and with the teams at full strength MacDonald shot the win- ners into a 2-0 lead on sharing another loose rubber. Cnshln m ‘.2 it 3-O as Powell. a teammate rot ed ill the cooler with Underwood mnklniz it 5-0 in the spacc cf three minutes as he ltot two unassisted counters. At this stage it appeared as if the local team were in for n bad beating as the RCAF Wore Pil-

joying u. wide edge lll play but here the RAJ?‘ stiffened. Returning blow for blriw they

hammered away at tho R.C.A.F. cle- fence and finally in the final zwo minutes of the session their ef- fort" \\':"l‘(! rewarded when kfacMas- ' ' of strength all nigrlit for i! s losers \v.“t in on ct solo v‘- fcrt to brat Hngzcltrlzlll in the win- rc-lls cage.

The second session due to the fast pace set in the first was much slower but the brand of hockey ex- hibited Was much bcttcr. A llllflifi‘ frcm the start the R.C.A.F‘. team increased their lend to 6-1 as Coop- cr slanlmcd ll shot into the c: c ‘v-nm trn feet (wt hut thct cry
