Fighting to make certain of a playoff spot Navy struck late in the first period for three counters to talc:- a commanding lead over the liraviiy favored Saints. Snints. grossing incessantly from the start of the second canto tied the game up with three counters in the space <4 two minutes and 4i seconds around the half way mark of the period: the winners went ahead for tile first time in the Bame early in the third twenty minutes of play; Navy got back into the run- ning with their fourth counter just afler the halfway mark had been itachod but lost their chance to milk’? certain of a vlflvofrbcrth as they yielded twin goals to the Univ- mitv team in the closing ten min- utesof the game.

For the first fourteen minutes of the game, lt was e scoreless battle as the two goalies. Davis and Mc- Kinnon came through with sensa- tional saves. Navy battling for a

Then a penalty to‘ Mclsaac of the Saints for holding saw the Wars" break through for the Xirst cnunttr of a three-goal burst. Gor- flig Kelly. skating like a demon boiii ways. carried deep into Saints territory. Skating to the side of the net, he got a short. passout to stew-art away and the Navy defence player made no mistake on a low drfvo from ton feet cut.

Four minutes and n liaif later alter Davis had come through with a couple of more saves. Navy shot tiietr second counter, Jay firing the ru-‘sber home (m a play with Kelly fllld Hitzson and three seconds be- foro the session ended, Navy raced into n 3-0 lead as Kelly dented lite twines on a pass from Mc- Gregor.

The game fumed into a wide- optn struggle all during the middle liflicd ‘with the Saints clicking for three goals that knotted the count in the space of two minutes and forty one seconds. _Il‘or the first right minutes.

Josey of the Navy was waved to "sinners bin". and wiih the Navy shorthsnded. Saints punched through for two mats. McDonald accounted for the

Those of us who take in only the occasional game are not encouraged to go more often as, more oftm than not we are in ignorance of just what is going on on the ice.

Inasmuch a; no programs are printed and sold it would be of great convenience ‘to us if you would print the names AND NUMBERS of all the players in your sport pages before each game.

It seems to me that the attitude qt sports people here, I mefln by that people who are interested in promoting events, are not at all interested in giving fans entertain- ment once their entrance is paid and I believe you will agree with me that the only sport which really flourishes here I5 summer Harness Racing where cards are sold, where an uncements are made as soon as anything of inter- est happens and where everything is done to amuse the chap who has laid his cash at the entrance win- dow.

Penny pinching and indifference will get u‘; nowhere so please will you ask them to use u few cents worth of power for the announce- ments and make a little effort to supply you. to whom nonewf the aibcve comtplaints are directed personally, with "Fl-IE NAMES AND NUMBERS OF ALL THE PLAYERS . . .
