Hockey fans will see plenty of action at the Forum tonight at 3:30 o'clock. when the Charlotte- town Victoria: and the Summer- oide Cryetels clash there in the final game of their homo and home. total goal semi-cf.lae1 playoff series for the right to advance into the final round fog the 1:- land Intermediate “A" - hockey champloiishlp.

The big question in be decided tonight will be whether or not the Vics will be able to overcome the big six-goal lead that the Crystal: will take into the game with them tonight, or will the Western Capi- tal boy: be able to protect that lead for a sure lpot in the finals.

It is going to be a long haul for the Vics, but many fan: here be- lieve that they can do it, although there is no doubt that there are equally as many Summer-aide back- ers who don't think they can.

The odds definitely favor the Crystal: at the moment. but there i: no knowing what will happen before the night is over, and when these iiwo teams clash tonight,.f:ns .can depend on seeing I rousing battle :ll.t‘he way regardless of which team will be the final vic- tor.

Coming up with a hip and tuck battle at the Forum on Monday

night. the Saint Dunsta.n’s puck- stcrs edged cut the Albbies in the opening game of their total goal. home and heme series to move up with the so-nmeisidc Crystals as the two leaders of semi-final play in Island Intermediate A Hockey com-peiition and at present indicate that they may well be the two teams who will meet in the Island finals.

Of course the issue in either set- ies is far from decided yet. as both have a game left to play and there is no telling just what the two trailing teams, Vics and Abbie: are liable to come up with in the re- maining games to be played this week. ‘

O 0

In the Crys-tal-Victoria series, the ioimer are the ones who have the biggest margin to work on having won their opening game 12- 6 and will have,a tidy six goal lead to carry with them into to- night's battle when they clash with Vics at the Forum. and the latter will really have to lay it on thick if they are hoping to overcome such a large deficit. It will be a really uphill climb for the Vics as it is not unlikely that the Sum- merslcie aggregation will take ad- vantage of that lead to ccme up with a defensive style of hockey to protect it, and at the same time let the locals carry the play to them and wait for the cpen breaks that so often reverses the scoring in such situations. However, there are always two sides to every story. and if the Crystals GJO adopt the defensive technique. it just may have 'serious repercussions, as the Vics wlu be going wide open to cut down hhe scoring right from the start, and it might just suit them to have it that way.

. . . .

The situation in the Saints-Ab- bie series is not quite as serious, but will still make it rugged go- ing for the Abbles. who.tra.il by two goals as the result of their 5-3 defeat on Monday night, when they go into the final game here on Tliursday night at the Forum against Saints. Both squads are very evenly matched, with little to choose from between eioher team which is well indicated by their previous meetings. In their two meetings during the regular sched- ule, Abbies were the victors both times, once by 3 6-4 count and the other by a very close 2-1 margin, while in their first playoff meeting Monday, Saints reversed the pro- cedure for a two goal margin for the victory. .

so that is the situation in both series as it stands now and almost anything can be expected to hop- pen the next few days when the teams meet in their final games. and although we won't venture a guess as to what will be the final results. we will predict that there are going to be a couple of really hot sessions and close competition before the two finalists have been declared.

O O 0

Now that the Williams‘ coached Juvenile Abbies have become the acknowledged winners of the Is- land Juvenile hockey title, as the result of the O'Lea~ry Juvenile: of- ficial withdrawal from champion- ship competition, many fans who IIBNB been following the progress of the youngsters all season. will be mweiting with interest for the opening of Maritime playoiif: in that division when the Albbies will be pitting their ability egainsil the top juvenile team: from the Main- lan

cone

Although the Abbie: have been credited with the final round by default. they have certainly earned their right to the title, when they swept. through the regular schedule of Island Physical Fitness Juvenile Hockey League play with only one defeat in six starts. and warm on from there to wrap up the best of their pl:/yaiif final: against Kevnsington in two straight games. taking both by seven goal margins. Kensington proved to be their hig competition in the series. and were thoonlyteem tosendthohwiee down to defeat, but alter the Kensingtonite: had mopped up Suinmerside Kinsmen in the semi- final round and look like they might be I reel contender for the title. were definetely outclassed by the Abbie; in the ‘finals.

THE GUARDIAN:

Murray Harbor Royal; wulloped the East Royalty Royals 8-1 at the Forum last night to take : strangle hold on the King‘: and Queen‘: County Intermediate "B" Island playdowns in the first game of A home and home total game series. *

Paced by fast skating Roy Mac- Donald the King's County hockey- isis Jumped into a 3-1 lead in the first period, shot four more in the second and finished the scoring off for the evening with a goal at the .'16d second mark in (ii: third per- c .

MacDonald scored three goals for a hat trick performance and assisted on two others. S, Hume tallied twice While G. Harris. Nicolle and Gerry MacDonald shot singles. Burhoe of East Royalty spoiled MocKay's bid for is shut- out with his goal late in the first session.

Murray Harbor showed the fine teamwork and passing plays that won for them the King‘: County title and a winning streak reported to have run 16 game.-;. With their men in position throughout they made the breaks that came their way.

Young Frank Roper in the Roy- als nets turned in a good stopping game but at times was given little support from his dofvnse although O'Donnell, small East Royalty de- fcnseman was one of the hardest playing men on the ice all night.

Both teams had plenty of back- ers out of an cstimnicd crowd of approximately 800. Bntwccn two and thron hundred people from Murray Harbor and Eastern points were reported to have been in the Forum rooting! for ihcir favorites while : quieter crowd of East Roy- alty supporters lined the opposite side.

G. Harris shot the first 3001 0f the night, a bnckhnn-I shot from about fifteen feet out on a play with R. MM-Donald nit the 12.20 mark. A little over two minutes later Roy MacDonald poke-chcckcd an East Royalty (icienccmun to break into the clear and backhand a high hard one post Roper.

East Royalty’: only goal was a three way play of lint-males Bur- hoe, Dockcndorf nnd Molynt-aux at lhe 18.08 mnrk. Thirty six seconds inter Hume broke n\\'ny from cen- tre lce to fire home the last goal of lhe period. '

Young Nicollc. brother of Saint John Beavers’ Nick Nicolle back- hancled Hume's rebound for the first goal in [he second. MacNelll next shot the disc through a maze of players into an open not after Roper had stopped MacDonald on n breakaway to make the score 5-1.

East Royalty were making a de- termined ganging attack to get back on even footing when Roy MacDonald broke away from his own biucline to score his second goal of the evening. About four minutes later Hume converted in pass from llnemales Chapman and Nicolle to end the scoring in the period.

A lightning like goal by Roy MacDonald at the .16 second mark in the third session completed the scoring. At this point East Royalty came to life and played on even terms with the Bruins for the re- mainder of the encounter. The two penalties of the game were hand- ed out in this session with each team getting one.

The second and last 1-lumecf the series will be played in Murray Harbor Saturday night.,The win- ners will face the Borden Na- tionals for the Island Intermediate "B" title. '

The refereeing dutlfla taken care of by Jackie Kane and Art Perry were capably carried out.

Murray Harbor Defeats . East Royalty 8-1 In Intermediate B Opener

Ray Famechon

To Get little In Title fight

(By Murray Bose)

NEW YORK, March 14-(AP)- Rey I-‘smechon i: a confident, de- termined Frenchman who came to the United States with only one purpo:e—to win the world‘: feath- grweiglit championship from Willie

ep.

"Get me Pep or I'll go home," said the European featherweight king. "lt’g Pep or nothing."

What he got was Pop and noth- ing. The contract: call for him to receive 10 per cent of the net Rate for his title 15-rounder with Pep in Madison Square Garden Friday night. The champ from Hartford will get 40 per cent.

Rangy Ray‘: out will come to about 57,000. When income taxes and penses are figured. the 25- year-oid Frenchman probably will wind up without a frunc.

But that doesn't bother the form- er coal miner as much a: some re- marks dropped by Wily Willie at Hartford. Conn.. yesterday.

Asked how he planned to fight 1-‘amechon, Pep said:

"If he walks in there like they say he does. I'm going to move .around him and jab. I'm going to try and stop him with face cuts."

When Famechon heard of it he gave out with Gallic equivalent of "you're kidding?"

Soiemnly Assured it was so. I-‘amechon declared "what kind of a \vay is that for a world champ- ion to talk about winning; cutting other people up. Anyway it‘: liable to happen the other way around.

“Look, I'm going to go out there and fight every minute of every round." the Frenchman said with gestures. "I'm going out there to win that title or they'll carry me out."

The bookmakers reckon he's more likely to be "carried out" than carry home the crown. They have made the area (little champ- ion a l-to-3 choice,

Will “seal?” Agreement On Nfid. Bases

OTTAWA. March 14 — (GP) — The Canadian-American joint Per- manent Defence Board will meet in Montreal March 29 and may reach agreement at that time on its final recommendations for the future administration of three 11.8. milit- ary bases in Newfoundland.

The recommendation: of the board go to the two governments in Ottawa and Washington for con- sideration and probably action. its powers are advisory but the ma]-

ried out.

There is no certainty that the issue of the Newfoundland buses will be resolved at this particular meeting but an effort will be made ‘to do so. It may be found neces- sary. however. to consider it at another meeting. ,

The problem of the base: arises from Canada’: absorption of Now- foundland April 1 last. The 11.3.‘ took a 99-year lease on them in wartime 1940 and now holds civil: inn power: in those areas which the Cenadi Cvvvu ment feel: tend to violate its sovereignty.

Canada. has no desire to take over the bases for military pur- poses. Defence Minister Clexion has said their operation: would be beyond Canada’: peacetime mult- ary capacity. What Canada doc!
