The Charlottetown Islanders broke into the win sheet of the Atlantic Coast Senior Hockey League finals as ' impressive 4-0 shut-out victory over the Moncton Hawks before a capacity house of over 3000 fans in the third game of the series at the Forum last night. The win leaves the Hawks with a 2-1 lead in games in the series which continues with the fourth tilt at the Moncton Stadium this evening.

Another feature of the game was that referees. Mel Snowden and George 0'l)onaghue. found oc- casion to call only one penalty during the complete sixty minutes of hockey. a feat. we think. which is un-equalled in the history of the ACSHL. The only penalty was a- warded to Islander forward Wally Kullman for holding Ross Watson as he attempted to get a break in on Shirley near the mid-way mark of the second period and it is quite possible that the play on the part 'of Kullman saved a shut-out for lShirley who played and has play- ed so well for coach Steve Brkla- club and his charges all season.

PRESENTATIONS MADE

League pi'e.seiitations to three members of the Islanders team were made at center ice between the second and third periods. His Hon. Lt.-Gov. T. W. Prowse and Mr. Alfred Carson. manager of the local branch of the '1'. Eaton Co. Ltd. made the pre- sentations. assisted by Mr. Gil- bert Gaudet. first vice-president of the ACSI-IL. Mr. Robert Mac- Donald. president of the Island- ers" Hockey Cltib. and Mr. For- rest Clow. manager of the is- landers' team. Those receiving: the presentations were Rny "Buck" Whitlock. the leaiziies leading point-getter. leading scor- er Bob Gray and playing-coach Steve Brklacich who was select- ed as the league's Most Valuable Detenceman.

Play started out fast in thc opening frame with the Islaiidcrs getting at least five good scor- ing opportunities within the first ten minutes of play. On their first turn on the ice. Orin Carver, Copperanlueyte and Wimpy Jones all ha n whack at Pidsodny as they passed neatly around the Hawks' net. Wally Kullman and Danny O'Connor both came close to scoring on a couple of blis- tering 25 foot slap shots after the 9 minute mark. Shirley was call- ed upon to make his first dif- ficult stop of the game as long Bob Bowness let go a hard drive from close in at 1030.

Shortly after this the Leyiie llll(' carried the play into the 1-lawk!-" none. Wimpy Jones dug the puck out of the corner and slipped a short pass to Carver who in turn relayed the rubber to Copper Leyte. Copper easily picked the far corner by Pidsodny to give the lslanders the lead for the first time in the series thus far. Nick staged his first show of the series at the 12.30 mark as he

Wimpy Jones gave the locals a 2-0 lead shortly before the period ended as he placed Orin Carver's rebound behind Pidsodny.

The Islanders came out strong in the middle session with Wally Kullman coming close on a close- in drive at the 2 minute mark. At 3.15 Copper Leyte collected his second goal of the night. drivii a hard shot past Nick on hang? outs from Carver and 0'('iinnor for the third Islanders' coiintcr. The Hawks had several good chances in the following two min- utes but were foiled as Shirley came up with two dazzling stops off Bob Bowness and Lorne Wal- -ters. Pidsodny then had a sliclit go with several fans In the soiiI1i- end balcony which held up the game for several miimiu.

THIRD PERIOD

The Whitlock line made its big- gest impression of the series as they continually swarmed Pid- sodny every time they came on the ice in the finale. They have been having a hard time to (hid their usual stride in this series but if their performance of last night in any indication of what's in store for the future. it could be thnt they will be connected with the goal scoring-shortly. Vlp Pnlladlno scored the final goal of the game within thn- first few minutes of play in this period as he neatly stole the puck from Tod Cnmpenu in front of the Hawk: net and banged it behind Pidsodny in the some motion to elect:-ify the large crowd into great surprise. Nick was sllgtly bewildered also. Both gonl-tenders had their work cut out for them from this point on In keeping the score sheet on- written. Shirlny had his closest

COLOGNE. G n r m a n y (CP) Canada ro u g h 1 y brushed aside Germany 101 Friday night to com- plete its world hockey tournament program before taking on Russia in n "revenge" game for the championship Sunday.

Russia had an easy time against Switzerland. winning 7 - 2. and hurdled its last obstacle on the way to the big one everybody had figured would be the deciding fac- tor in the tournament.

Canada's Pentlcton Vs. a rough team which has mapped up the op- position so far and done it mostly under wraps. and the Russians. who too have held back several times. meet in Krefeld'l Rhein- land-Halle at 3 p. m. (11 n. m. EST) Sunday.

The indoor rink, which seats about 7.000. has been sold out for months. Scalpers got as high as 00 deutsche marks (about ml) for rinkside seats.

N0 DEFEATS

In the event of n tie. the two countries will meet in a playoff Monday.

Canada and Russia go into the final with seven straight victories against no ” feats. They were tied for first place with 14 points. far ahead of the United States and Czechoslovakia who were eliminated from contention Thurs- day night.

in the first 10 minutes did they see anything to shout about.

Germany battled Canada hard for half a period but then the Vs' better play-making. hard skating and speed wore down the Ger- mans.

Although they obvlously weren't going all out. the Canadians still were able to get twice as many gonls as the Russians against the Germans.

In the five games played Can- ada has scored 61 goals and al- lowed six against them. Russia has scored 39 and allowed eight.

COMPARISONS DECEIVING

However. comparisons in tourna- ments of this kind often are de- ceivlng. A prime example was last year when the Canadians defeated the Swedes 8-0 after the Swedes had tied Russia 1-1. But in the I7ll;8I Russia upset the Canadians

On paper 12 months ago Can- adn's Toronto East York intermed- iate club had the best record-six wins and no losses-when it op- posed fhe Russians. who were 541-1. The Canadians were superior too in the scoring column. 57-5 to 30-8.

The defeat sent Canada into a virtual state of shock. There were reverberntlons almost everywhere. even on the diplomatic level.

This year the Canadian Ameteiir. Hockey Association picked what it' considered its best team. the Al- lan Cup champions from the Brit- ish (" ' " fruit belt.

Members of the club have said that pressure for them to win has

mans were little more than prac- (ice for them. Veteran Mike Sha- bnga and Jack Mscdonald each picked up a pair of goals and Bill Warwick scored his 12th of the' tournament. ;

The German goal was scored byl Oswald Huber on a breakawayl when he lmt past the defence amfi heal goalie Ivan McLel1and with an angle shot.

It was only the sixth goal tht youngster has allowed in the tour- nament and the second in his last five games.
