The trianglemen played a close-check- ing game all the way. ba.li-hawk- irrg all over the court and convert- ing many Saints' passes into "Y" baskets. The hillmen, after over- coming an early four-point deficit, reg a pattern for the entire contest as they continually ran up leads ranging from three to eight points, Only to have the "Y" ta-ke advant- age of periodic defensive lapses to come abreast of the somewhat startled red-and-wvhilers. The Saints held a half-time lead of seven points. the score standing 28-31 at the intermission. The "Y" dunked 28 per cent of their field attempts during the encounter. the Saints sinking 31 per cent.

when seven-man hockey was in vogue. but it is doubtful if any in this day of the modern game ever expected to see the old seven-man game revived here. But that is just what Island fans saw here at the Forum on Friday night. or what amounted to practically the same thing. when the Islanders met with Halifax saint Mary's in their final meeting of the Big Four schedule. 0 O I

The situation was brought about when the Islanders team, who had played at Halifax the night pre- vious, failed to arrive back in this City in time for their scheduled encounter with Halifax. Travell- ing by plane. the team was de- layed by poor flying conditions both at Halifax and at Charlotte- town. Unable to take off for this City from the Nova Scotis Capital until late Friday afternoon they ran into further delay when they were unable to land at the local port due to poor visibility. after circling the City for about half an hour and attempting three times to come in for a. landing. and were ordered back to Moncton.

O I I

Giving up any hope of flying here. the team chartered a bus from Mancton to Cape Tornrentlne where they caught the seven o'clock ferry for Borden and four taxl's sent out from Charlotte- town brought them on to this City. The delsy's however. retarded the teams' arrival until after 10 o'clock. But while that was all taking place. things were also happening at the local Forum, where the Halifax team and some 1,700 fans were waiting for the game to get underway.

But that was only .the. beginning. 0

Competing against a 13-man Halifax squad (bolstered by the services of five players from the Saints Junior team). the Islanders put on a demonstration of hockey that was something to behold and sent the crowd into a continual uproar of delight and apprecia- tion. With six men skating their hearts out. While ihe seventh acted as relief (nor, as rover pa in the old game). the Island pucksterr not only held Halifax. but played them ragged to not only outscora them 1-0 but out- shoot them 11-1 on the frame as well. Nothing short of excellent gonliendlng on the part of the Halifax custodian. Ed D'Aoust. kept the locals from sending the score at least two or three goals better than that.
