Amherst Ramblers In 4-2 Win Over Abbies

A fast, smooth-passing band o! Amherst Ramblers won a decided 4-8 victory over tlie Charlottetown Abbies last night at the Forum to take the first game of a home Ind home, total goal series to de- cide the league leadership of the Central Senior Hockey League..

Outscoring their opponents 2-1 in the first period and 8-0 in the second. the Amherst squad showed too much class for the local puck.- sters, and had a definite edge on the play through the entire en- counter,

Although the Abbies showed up better in the final period to bang home one goal and held their op- ponents scoreless, and fnrccd the game tousiderably at tirmes, they just couldn't break through the sturdy drfeiivc of the Amherst tram. and when they did. goullr Poirier was right on hand to frustrate their efforts.

Robertson. Gallant, Legere and Babineau did the scoring for the Ramblers. while CEIIVCX‘ and l-ligson got lllr‘ two Abbie tallies both on solo efforts.

For the first half of tize opening period. both Icarus plaicd fast, lurid hitting lockcy with Amherst liming the l) ilic Dill} uliilc IliC‘ were making frequent brcaicuwavs It was on one cf these occasions that the first goal was scored, At 11:56. Carver, following in on an Abbie Attack, banged in a loose puck from a scramble in front of the net. The Abbies u-erc hardly back llt position for the faueoif, wlicn Keefe got the draw to skate in over the blue- liiie and lay down s. nice pass to Iicbertson who banged it home, to Lie up "the score.

‘There was no further scoring un- til past the 18-minute mark, when Amherst went ahead for the first time, Gallant driving home Babin- eau's pass during a power attack in front of the net.

Amherst forced the attack for the first five minutes of the second canto at which point the game got a bit. rough and two Amherst play- rrs went off for minor penalties. St. Peter going off for charging and Gatidet following him less than a minute later for the same reason, leaving the Ramblers two men stiort. It seemed like an ideal ad- vantage for Abbies, but between the three remaining forwards and goalie Poirler, they held the Abbies at bay and broke up their passing attacks until they werebackto full strength. It was at 13:42 that the usitors got their first goal of the period, with Cormier and Legere pulling a nice passing attack from a faceoff near centre ice, Corsnier Qarrylng in over the blueline to )ass to Legere who banged it past Weeks.

Amherst ran (he score up to 4-1 tn the dying seconds of the frame when Babineau banged in Keefeks pass from a scramble in front of the net.

Johnny Higson got the only gosl in the final period at 5:39, when scooping up a loose puck at his own bluellne he broke away with only one man back to skate in and score a nice goal on a solo effort.

Although there was no more scoring or penalties handed out, ‘the garme got pretty rough during the latter part of the period. Both teams made some good scoring ef- zdorts but the two goalies, Weeks and Poirier, were right on the job and made some nice saves,

Although the victory has caused changes in actual position held in the league standing, the points margin has of course not differed.

entries. The point standings are as follows: Navy — l2; s, D, U_ _. l0; P. W. C. — 9; and Slimmer- side — 9. O O O

The important factor o! course which ivill have its effect as to whttli teams will make playoff positions, is the number of games lPll l0 Dlay. The Welshman are in thedeast favourable position, considering that they only have one game left. The best a win can give them is a total of 11 points in 1'26 series. The All Stars, too. m‘ Ml in a very 800d position, with only two games left to play, and a three-point deficit to make up in order to come abreast of the league leaders. However. (hr-re ls one good factor in their favor. and that is that they still have a same to play with Navy on Sum. merside ice, and if n (-*_v win may their chances will look fairly 8W1 for fluorine a playoff berth. As far as Saints and Navy are (‘on- Cemed. there isn't very much to choose between them, as both zzrc reasonably assured of being in thb Playoffs. unless they receivg no.

Roy "Chick" Gallant. Layton Schurman and Paul Schurman shot a brace of goals apiece for the losers. the last named player getting tlie prettiest goal of the night, on a nice stick-handling ctfort in the first period.

The Charlottetown boys showed .1 slight advantage on the play by hr . lug and inhibiting mnrc driving power in their for- ward attacks in over their op- poiioiifs blucline, I-lennessey was particularly brilliant for Abbies. znrnr-rlng three tallies on the nirhts plav.

Murray Ilarbor Wins 7-3 From Montague Meteors

The Murray Harbour hockey teem took a 7-3 victory from the Mont- ague Meteors in s rezlllflf “me °l the south King's Hockey league. played at Montague rink Monday night.

The game was a 1113885 °ll¢i with both teams going all-out in an effort to better their standing In the league.

Montague opened the scoring with a quick goal by Power from Colllngs at 2.02.

Then disaster struck. On the next play the Harbour goalie was struck by a fast flying puck on the mouth, splitting the upper IIP completely, necessitating nine stittltes at. the hospital. Bert Fraser then substituted for the Harbour goalie, and put on such a stellar performance, that the Montague squad found it. almost impossible to score against him. In the same period R. Chapman Wu also knocked out. and in the second period Ron MacDonald met the same fate after crashing into tlie boards.

Undoubtedly it was the fastest game that there has been here

‘this year, but the hockey itself

was poor with very fsw passing plays by eillzer team. There were many individual rushes, but, ss usual, these were not successful in scoring goals. On the whole most of the goals were scored in scrsmbleswexcept the first goal which was a beautiful passing play between Power and Ceilings. After the accident the game became ragged wvn shooting and battling, and very little passing.

Lineups:

Montague Goal, P‘. Fraser; defence, R. MacDonald, D. George- A, MacLure; forwards, Roy Ceilings, K. Clements, Rich Ceilings, P. Fraser, E. Carver, J. Lannigan, F. Clair, G. Murphy, H. Power.

Murray Harbour — Goal. S. Mac- Kay, (B. Fraser); defence, W. Harris, L. MacNeII, A. Irving: for- wards, F. Harris. G. Harris, G. MacNeil, R. MacDonald, L. Herring, C. Dutney, W. MacNeil. R. Chap- man, S. Hume, G. MacNeil.
