Challenging

Bow Out Of Playoff Picture in Two Straight Encounters

Junior Royals Saturday night hurdied their first obstacle in their bid for a Maritime title when they de- feat/ed a. determined band of challenging Abbies 12 to 3 to

win the City championship and W. R.

Aitken Trophy. It

was Royals second straight victory,_having won the open- iiégfggringeiiy an 8-3 score and capturing the series 20 to 6.

Iii THIS BURNER

Island hocke league tussles s their swan sorzg on Friday 111% last with the Rangers doing as cv- eryone had tciiiepetclsrd g1; cikhetm. 3km?- e taking e 0 - loitetown after it had rested in Summerside for one season.

But the local squad had no ens? time of it in the deciding tussle and were by no means 1m resolve. Really it was a big edge man- power that reallys turned the trick after the Crysta had put up In amazing fight right to the final be.l and on more occasions than one had the local team on the run.

t e e rs - lng is oblematical iit ey rests:- ed the objective anyway and t wastlieinain thingas arasFri- dag nights game was concerned bu the team will have to waken up considerably now that they have won a plum for themselves in the coining Maritime playdowns.

As they have proven on several occaLiQiis in the pest they can Pill’ a iai- better brand than their lasl exhibition and it is to be hoped that with that bad game out of their system they will settle down now and play to the real form. They will have if the are Going w get anyplace in the‘ p ydowns.

Switching to another angle, that cf attendance, the team hasn't re- ceived any encouragement from the

fans it is true. Consider the late hour on which Friday n1 t’: mo}: u

the past W1 scheduled time it has been an al- together different story.

‘Phat they haven't, received much mcouragement from the fans in the way of attendance is true but

Time was when said fans were damoring loud and long for home- brew talent on City senior teams. They at it and then what happens. Mere ndfuls come to see the

ames and very often some of them

save the rink doing nothing else but knocking the game tihat was played, the piﬂylzfsfxisl so orth.

Just what they want seems hard to find out. It can't be the price of admission; prices are down now lower than what was usual‘ ch - ed for school games so therefore t must boil dovm to the hard. cold facts that the fans with -thc ex- ception of the "old falthfuls” Just don't care.

_And this is not‘ the "use in all aces. For instance just over in

.theo erni ,at0wnho1! the sine of Charlottetown 1500 fans jammed their way into the rink to witness a game between Halifax and Truro. The game had to be cancelled owing to a bus amldcnt which injured several of the play- ers but justthe same the fans were ready to lend encouragement to their teams. _

And they are hot playing a bit better hockey over there than they are right here s0 the only conclus- ion to draw is the one stated above and that is that the big majority of fans "don't care."

But it is not only the case with the seniors. Junior Rs als, one o1’ the finest. if not the f nest squads ever to be iced here am at their wits end these days trying to fig- ure out ways to meet expense! when playoff time rolls aro .

For over half of the second ses- aicn Abbies kept up their sumrls- lng performance to hold the Roy- als at bay but wilted in the final period, however. as the Roach brothers and “Tarlcy" Whitlock, scored seven goals bet/ween them and but foi- the brilliant display given by Ward, the young Abbie net minder. who was sensational all through the tilt, might easily have ’ ublod their count. Ward pve the most outstanding in- dividual performance on the ice as he blocked and kicked out drives from all angles.

Less than two minutes after the game started Aubin Blacquiere raced through alone for the open- in: score of the game. followed two minutes later by Perry who clicked on s pass from J. Roach. The Royals defence were using their bodiu hard but Abbles kept plugging in and as they stopped the Royals cold. raced in for three counters and the lead. Murphy took s. short forward pass from Blanchard for their ﬁrst score, with Lawlor, stlckhamdlirig centre ice star punching through for the equalizer 10 minutes later. Three minutes after this Smith was put 1n the clear by Blanchard and the right winger beat Davis cleanly man 10 ‘feet out.
