Judging from recent results, it looks like it is going to he s really close finish for the Central Sec- tion Hockey League leadership be- tween the Charlottetown Abbi:s and the Amherst Rantblers. The Abbies, who were leading the Ramblers by s. two-point margin as the result of their 18-2 victory ovcr Saint Joseph University here last Thursday night, are now shar- ing top honors with Anthcrst who made up the two point deficit last Saturday night at Springhlll, N.S.. when they handed out a 16-3 drub- blng to the Miners, ,

O O I

The Abbies, however, have a slight advantage over the Ramb- lers in that they have two games to play in the regular series to Amhersfs one, and although there is little doubt of Abbles not win- ning here against Sprlnghill at the Forum Saturday night, the big question is whether or not the lo- cals can take the Ramblers into camp when they meet them on Amherst ice on Thursday night.

0 0 - As it will be remembered, both teams are pretty evenly matched and despite the fact that the Ab- bie: won out over thorn by a 7-5 count at the Forum in their first league meeting it should also be brought to mind that the Amherst nuckstcrs hung a 10-4 shcllack- lng on the locals in an exhibition game eariydii the season when they gut them on neutral ice at Sackviilc, and in all probability will be an even tougher- team to

The second period, however was almost a complete reverse of the fcrmr canto, with Navy pressing the attack to outshoot the Saints 4-1 beforg the period ended. Strain got the first counter at 1:13 on a nice passing play with Perry and Higson which startxi at their own blueline, While Carver qot the second one about two min- utes later when his team was one man short, blocking the puck off an opponents stick about 20 feet out from the net to skate in and slip it behind goalie Stralrt. Their third tally came at 10:07 when- Perry carried in from centre ice to slip a nice pass over to C-arver who was sailing in on net to shoot a nice goal.

The Summerside All-Stars con- tlnue to impress At Amherst, they held the AHIlICYf-l Ramblers cvcn until the last six mitiute-s of play when two quick goals made the score read 8 to 6. This is pretty fair doing in the Ramblers’ own rink, as rumor has it they are hard to defeat playing at home. Windy Steele was unable t0 make the trip with his team, and this would weaken the de- fence considerably. The Steelemen never looked better than they did in the Crystal Rink Saturday night, against a fast lntcrlncdlutc team from Moncton. 'l‘itelr pass- ing plays would satisfy any of the old-timers who disparage tltc slam-bang type of hockey played today. The three-man attacks coming over the opponents’ blue- lina were pure pociry of motion anti co-ordixlation. Sometimes a weak defence will make opposing forwards look like the Cook-Bou- cher-Cook line of the old New York Rangers, but from where we viewed the game, the Monctonlan zcarguard didn't look particularly weak, and the All-Star attacking trlos certainly did uncork a lot of smooth passes The addition of "Toey" Richard to the Syl Ber- narci-Mooney Gallant line has transformed it into a mighty pow- erful striking forcc. They looked like the best line on the ice Sal.- urday night, and got the biggest bag of goals.
