the Penguins had better get their shoot- ing eyes in order. Far too often this season, the young Birds passed up beautiful scoring chances.

The Hawks were never on the ice long enough to play hockey, They kept parading to the penalty box right from the opening whistle. Bill Roberts didn’t let the pressure get him. Despite boos in abun- dance, he kept firing the Hawks off for every offence they mitted. We thought Roberts did an excellent Job of handling the game although the Hawks didn’t lagree.

MONCTON (GP) —- Manager Don Ramsay of Moncton Hawks . resigned Monday in the latest development in an executive squable.

The pudgy Prince Edward Is- land native claimed he was not backed by the team executive in his dispute with playing—coach Doug McPhee, who left the team Saturday for a 24-hour period. McPhee, a veteran Maritime compaigner, returned in time to handle the team in its 4-3 vic- tory over Prescott-Kemptville Combines Sunday night. Moncton leads the best-of-five

night unless thcy revert to the crazy tactics they showed last Friday.

Don Ramsay Resigns As Hawk Manager

series 2'1 with the fourth game

scheduled here tonight (Tues- day). Crux of the rift between Ram-

say and McBhee was whether defenceman John Ford should be in the Hawks‘ lineup. Ford, who signed a tryout contract with Chicago Black Hawks ear lier this yea-r. has been side- lined with a back injury. but now says he‘s ready to play.

After the Hawks were crush- ed 6-2 last Friday night by the Ottawa district champions, Ramsay and other members of executive decided Ford should play. McPhee stormed out of a meeting with the man- ager and asked for his pay. He got it. but changed his mind be- fore Sunday's game. Ford did not play.
