The Halifax Saints drew first blood in their semi-final series with the Charlottet.own islanders; last. night by defeating the local team 2-1 in the. series opener be- fore a capacity crowd at the For-

"lfistol Pete” Leswlck's 10-foot shot into the lower corner of the net at the 1:15 mark of the last period proved to be the winning

counter in the bitterly fought game. g Displaying a sharp passing at-

tack and marked skating ability the santauisrlans were full value! for their victory as they came from behind a one goal islanders lead in the first period to grab the all- important opening game

The Saints outshot the Islanders 26-16 and outplayed them in the last two periods. A brilliant. Ralf Frederick in the locals cage robbed the santamarians of a greater margin of victory by stopping sev- eral Halifax efforts from point blank range. particularly in the second period.

Bonhomme Opens Scoring

Rugged Connie Bonhomme, the kid who has just recovered from a broken elbow, sent the Islanders into the lead in the first stanza- with 3. hard. rising shot from 15! feet out while the Saints were nu man short. f

It was the last Islanders counter in the heavy-bumping contest as the Saints defence used their! weight to advantage and gave goalie Don "Nipper" 0'1-learn ex-E cellent protedion for the rest of the way. -

Big Bob Bowness tied the game. up in the second period with his! goal from about five feet out. Bow-. ness was set up by Johnny Mrorrowl with a 15 foot. pass otter Morrow in turn had taken a pass from- Ralph Hooking. i

The islanders turned on a ter- rific power play following ”Pop"l Leswick's game-winning goal and while Morrow sat in the penalty; box. with the Marshall line up front along with Bob Grav and Walt Pawlyshyn back on defence, they swarmed around the Halifax. citadel but could not find an open-i ing. -

It was their last. dangerous burst.- Warwick went of for interference at the 13:41 mark of the sessiont but the Islanders attack could not get untracked. with -foui-,minutesl left in the game Connie Eon-i homme drew ll. holding penalty: and the Islanders had to go on the' defensive.

Take Out Goalie-

While the play raged in the Hai- tfax end with 35 seconds left in the game Ray Frederick came out of his net and willie Marshall went on as the sixth player. 13 seconds later Phil Vltale. who had lost his stick, drew a holding pen- ally and the Islanders did not have another chance.

Play opened fast-in the -first per-1 lod and 10 seconds after the puck was droppds Walt Pawlyshyn test- ed 0'1-learn with a hard 20-foot drive. ”Bucko" Trainor backhand- ed the rebound but again Oil-learn kicked out the rubber and play changed into the Islanders end as Pete Leswlck raced in on Frederick. and was stopped with a low 15 foot shot.

The Trainor line controlled the play during the first two minutes. willie Marshall on a play with his line-mates stormed into the Hall- fax end and gave the saints some anxious moments around the four minute mark and then the Saints with Thompson. Morrow and Bow- ness did the same to the Islanders.

Big Bob Dralnville drove an' elbow into willie Marshall and.- after so seconds arguing with ref-i eree Turgeon went into the pen-I alty box for a two minute stay all the 12:06 mark. Before he returnccli the Islanders were leading by a" goal.

Marshall started the play with it pass to Don Bellringer near the saints' blueline. -Bellrlnger cut to-

wards the defense and was par- itially blocked by Nixon and Bloom but he carried both defenscmcn deep into Halifax territory. Con-

The Islanders outplayed the

Saints in the opening stanza and appeared on their way to victory. "Red" Favero centered out a pass to Jim MacKcnzle at the goal mouth around the 15 minute mark but Jim could not get his stick on it. Frederick caught Bill Ford's 20 foot shot on his skate and Phil Vitale blocked Danny Nixon's drive to,stop the most dangerous scoring thrust of the period.

Walter Pnwlysliyn skated Joe MacArtliur out of the play just after .the second period opened after the Halifax ceiitreman had broken into the clear. Bob Gray fed Pawlyshyii a goal mouth pass that went by the corner and Gray combined with Wliitlock foi' an- other iiice attempt seconds latci.

The tying goal was the result. of l beautiful passing attack: Bob Drainvillc started it with a. short pass to I-losking. The latter slip- ped the puck to Johnny Morrow who was inldwny between the blueline and net. Morrow took about two strides before feeding the black biscuit to Bowness who lifted the puck over Frederick's oiiistrctclied lcp.

Three Halifax Saints, led by Joe MacArthur. broke out of their own end after breaking up an Islanders play and caught the licals with only Johnny Dutcha hack. Dutcliak steered the Saints to the coriior but MacArthur after two attempted pass-outs finally got the puck to Lcsirick.

The balding veteran stopped the puck with his skate and af- ter one try sent the rubber into the lower twincs on a shot that Frederick couldn't possibly stop

Bob Drninville crashed "Buck" Whitlock to the ice with a hard body belt for the hardest check of the period. Johnny Dutcliak nailed Bill Ford with another linrd check around centre ice and McLagan belted Johnny Morrow.

sir.-it seems to me it is about time someone wrote a few lines of appreciation about Dr. Charles Dougan. President of The Island- ers Hockey club. He has been standing alone now for quite some time. The men who were his exec- utive all resigned and he has been more alone than Kurt Carlsen. He had a couple of ships standing by. but all the Doc had was his heart and the will to fight. Only for him, we wouldn't. have Gray or non- homme. He has seen to it that we were paid for Morrow and Gordon. He has watched the storms post- pone games but you would never know that he was worrying be- cause he always has that smile when you mention the islanders Team.
