Walter Lawlor’: Navy hockey squad. rolling into an early lead last night defeated Prince of Wales Welohmen 5-3 in a City Hockey League en- counter to share top spot with Summerslde All Stars in the league mulling. But the “Tars" only attained their victory after the Welsh-

mfll had thrown a mightyaoare into them. coasting along on a 4-0 lead with less than nine minutes of play- ing time left and, apparently having the verdict sewed up Navy-were rocked back on their heels as Prince of Wales playing two men abort gnippéd in a quick goal and then as the manpower situation was re. versed fired in two more counter- in the space of fifty-four seconds

to make it anybody’s game.

But the Navy gradually recovering their poise after the three quick explosive bursts by their opponents charged back for another counter in the lalt five minutes and as they again took command were robbed of two more counters in the final seconds by some alert goal-minding by lvo Cudrnore in the Welshmen'| cage,

llaggedly Fought

Again the fans saw a game that wag ruggedly and hard-fought. throughout with fast skating pre- dominating from the opening whistle on. At the start of each period Welshmen were in corn- mancl but couldn't break through the stalwart defence pairs Coach Ldwior sent agalnm them. Dis- playing the most potent scoring punch Navy took advantage of nearly every scoring opportunity that came their way and iced a well balanced squad that should figure strongly for league honors.

Johnny Higson and Art Perry shared scoring honors with a brace of goals apiece with the oth- er going to Ted Strain while An- drews. Douglas s-nd Dalziel ec- corrnled for the Welshmens scor- ing efforts.

Sta-rt Feet

Prince of Wales started off with s rush in the first three minutes of- play to carry the play to their opponents but their plays were being broken up at. the Navy de- fence and finally Navy clicked for the first goal as Higson fired a pass out from the side of the Weishmenb cage and Art Peny blasted the rubber behind Cud- more from forty feet out to make it 1-0.

Speeding and roughening up the Prince of Wales line of Carver, Mckenzie and Brown hemmed the Navy inside their own line for nunutes on end but coirldnt break through; the pressure was further increased ss Pound was sent off for hooking but again the Navy defence held firmly. Davis holding the fort when attackers broke through on one occasion. Pound was still ln the box when Navy got their second counter Art Perry mloklmndllng his way out to his team's blueline and then shooting a long forward pass to lilgsoh; the latter skated a few strides before firing a. shot that caught the open corner cleanly to make it 2-0. For the balance of the period the two squads fought it out on even terms with Prince of Wales having a goal ca back with less than two minutes to so an effort that from the Dress “ox looked to be a well earned counter. But the goal light felled to flash, the referees up- holding the goal judges ruling.

Davis was first. to come through with a couple of nice saves in the early part of the middle ses- AlOli as Welshman again applied the pressure but they couldn't break through. Oarunichaels pen- filly left Navy shorthanded but the Navy defence was so efficient that Davis had only one save while he was serving his penalty. Twice more in the session Navy were rhorthanded as Cameron and Cal'- michael sat out additional sen- tences and the session was in its iinsl moments when the winners struck for two more counters. Art FI-‘rry got his second goal d the lame as Gallant started hl.rn off from inside his own defending zone with a short pass. the puck carrier swerving around the de- fenceman to blast a waist high shot off Oudmore’: glove and into "lo moms. n made the score read 3-0 and 2i second: later Nsvl’ Were bsck spsln Wilt-ll Strain rhovelled the disc into the net on I lllsy that sswI-lymie Gregory llld Joey IeCleir-draw satiric.

It left the Weishmen two men short but they held. Carver got back on only to have Reedy take his place in the cooler sncl leave them two short again. Again they held and Andrews coasting around the Navy line pokechecked the disc as a Navy player at- tempted to carry out; he was right in the clear and Davis had no. chance as th_e carrier picked the short side.

The Welshman’: st- tack was right at its height and fifty-dour seconds later after Dav- is had made two sensational saves Daiziel fired home the third goal to make it 4-3 with Ready and Beer again drawing assists, Ngvy were two short st the time with LeCiair and Carmichael in the penalty box.

Prince of Wales continued to press as the team got back to full strength but it was to no avail Higson firing home the clincher as he pounced on Perry's rebound the puck sliding over the goal- line behind Cudmore.

Before the game ended Carver again took another trip to gin. ner's bin but Navy couldn't carpi- talize as Orldimore came through with two great saves in the lest few seconds as LeClair and Greg- ory both skated in to his door- step.

Despite the fact that games in past seasons have been sparsely attended, officials behind the move rather than being discouraged this year are exerting more efforts than ever before in an attempt to build up a following for the young- sters. They feel that if the fans can once be educated to attending these minor leagues the brand of hockey exhibited by the kids will assure future crowds.

-l- '1' l- 0

They are not fer wrong. The youngsters played a surprisingly good brand of hockey and possess a knowledge of the game that would do credit to senior players. The encounters may not be play- ed at as fast a tempo as the older groups but for keen rivalry and heated competition juvenile per- formances are hard to beat,

Year after year Island juvenile champions invariably furnish the stoutest of competition when win- nlng their way to the Maritime finals. In fact several times the kids have come back withchamp- lonshlps and it was only the year before last that Silmmerside Kins- men, given little chance, won the three-Province crown against what a-t the time had been considered insurmountable odds.

That in itself shows the ability the local youngsters possess.

Both encounters should produce an even better and closer brand of the hoop game than was witnessed in the opening games Saturday night, and on that occasion action wasnot wanting in either tilt.

No less than o. month ago a Prince of Wales-Saints tilt would have dopsters predicting an can! S. D. U. victory but, clue to the re- markable improvement shown in the City team recently and on the heels of their really great showing against Ray's squad Saturday night, the outcome of tonight's battle should be very much in

doubt. O 0 0» i’

Prince of Wales, leading for over three quarters of the game last Saturday night, were withia half a minute of pulling s big up- set before they weakened to allow‘ Millionaires to rack up the win- ning points. On that showing alone Walter Goss‘ crew are now installed very nearly on equal terms with the other three squads and if they can come through with s repeat, performance Saints srs going in -.hsve quite a tussle 1n their hands to defeat the fut- stepping youngsters.‘

Ray's will enter their gsrne against the Navy squad as favor- ites but here again plenty of un- certainty surrounds the outcome. 1t is s well-known fact that the Navy team could use a couple more experienced, espsble players and thesds haven't been forth- coming as yet; but deqsite that in exhibition games this season thl "five survivors". so the tsssn ll sometimes called. have‘ diqilaysd stamina a d ability that has cs:- ried tb to victories.
