Local hockey fans should be in Iq- I big night o! keen competition when Walter Lawloc-‘s Navy squad slash with the Gordon Bennett poached Prince of Wales College Welshmen in a. scheduled City League tilt at the Forum tonllhi-

1m, Welshman, who are trail- ing the league-leading Navy and lsints by one point, will really have to force t-he issue tonight l! they want to stay in the league race as they have only two games left to play in the regular leaslle. including tonight's encounter. qainsg three for Saints and Navy. However a win will put them out in front by one 901m-

The Nzwy, on the other hand, can't afford to take things easy either, as they still have a tough "m, to play against the All Stars on Summerslde ice out of their two remaining games after tonight's encounter. As has already been proven bv the other two City league tilts that have taken place at the Western capital. thev can't rely too much in winning that en- counter, and are lzolnz to need the two extra points that a. win tonight will give them in order to be sure of a playoff herth.

so with all these facts taken Into Consideration. the encounter should turn out to be a bristling affair. with both teams hitting the ice with grim determination to roll up a victory and consoli- date their respective positions.

Glose Game in 0.8.8. League

1n a closely contested Queen Square School Hockey League en- counter yesterday, the Roughrid- ers eked out a narrow 5-4 win ovcr the Royals.‘

Outslio-oting their opponents for two periods by a score of 4-1, it looked very much like the Royals had everything pretty wcll under control, going into the third per- iod, but the Rougliriders had oth- er ideas. Lend by Stull, aggres- sive Rloughrlder forward, they put on a terrific third period scoring spree to rap in four goals and hold the Royals scoreless at the same time to win out by s slim one- gosl margin. Stull accounted for three of his team's goals.

If ever a. team had an off nlglli. the Summerslde All-Stars were that

team on Friday flight. Of course they were minus three stars 1n Pfankic Qalway. Garth Gay and

Windy Steele. but it looked like a lolol eckpse or a rainy night when not a star is in sight. "Toey" Rich- ard who ran wild in Charlottetown two nights before seemed very lame against the miners, and "Mooney" Gsllanlis familiar gallop was slowed down to a gentle can- ier. The defrncc gave their feeblest display of the season. There was enough loose pucks loitering in front of Freddie Foy to sink a row- boat. Perhaps it was because two of the dcfcncemcn were doing double duty. taking on occasional turn on (he forward line. This, in spite of the fact that some of the forwards complained afterwards that they hadn't. got their share of time on the ice. It would seem that there is only one way to keep (he at- tacking lines doing a top-notch lob, and that is to keep the same boys working alongside of each other. The minute circumstances force a coach to snake changes in the lines, there is a. reduction in ef- ficiency.

While we're in a critical mood we'd like to point out that one or two of the boys fail to get their shots away quickly enough. They not Ollly telegraph their drives at the net, but tce off like a golfer before letting go. In our humble opinion surprise is more important than a speedy shot 1n fooling that padded gentleman between the posts. If you're in front of the net, better shovel your shot in quickly, there- by sacrlflclng speed. than waste a precious split-second getting Wwer into your drive. There, that should gct us offers to take on a coaching Job with the Hawks or some of those other teams that have been

slipping of late. C O O

Not much chance of our breaking into the coaching game with those Summerslde Pee-Wees and Paper- weights. however, They have very smart coaches in the persons of John Cameron and Junior Boyles respectively, and those master. minds are leading their teams to victory every lick. On Saturday at the Kinsmen open-air rink Boyle's Paperwelghts defeated the Kens- ington sextet by the score of 6-0. Gregory Delghan (the name sounds
