Tho defending Maritime champ- ions carried the play for the better part of the game but were hard pressed to gain the triumph as Miners hit hard in the late stages. ‘Elbows, holding and other rough play along the boards predomin- ated.

Glace Bay leftwinger Bill Arm- strong was tugged with a match misconduct late in the second per- iod after over-demonstrating from the penalty box when referee Bert Sleep had banished him for elbow- ing.

Unleashing an attack that in- creased in effectiveness as tho game proceeded, tho Summorsido All-Stars defeated the Prince of Wales College sextet in l fsllllll’ Charlottetown City Losguo flxturo at the Crystal Rink last night by tho lopsided score of I2 to 1.

Tho first period opened with Prince of Wales forcing tho play. tho kid lino of Andrew, Carver and Downo being particularly ef- fective. With McRao off for hold- ing, Joey Richards swooped o- round the Welshmon‘: not to polo the puck bet/ween Cudmore and the right goal-post. Foy was spectacular a few minutes after stopping three shots in quick succession. With a man off each side. Davis blasted one past Cud- more at the 13-minute mark after tho goalie had stopped two re- bounds. Gsrth Gay skated in thrso minutes later to fool tho not guardian with a fake shot and slid the wafer into tho cage. Cudmoro [was stopping a lot of rubber so the period ended.

The (cams split even in tho sec- ond sesslon. Deighan poking the puck into the net after Cudmore had figured it was trapped against his skate. The goalie claimed there should have been a whistle, but referee Jny maintained that. he did not lose sight of the disc at any time. This was at. the 9-minute mark and 31-’. minutes later And- rew went to the crease to slam Carver's short rebound past Foy for the only counter which ._ beat. the airforce flash all evening. The attack of the homo boys really got underway in the final session, At 2:45 Oatway outskated Douglas to snare a forward pass from Grant and make the score read 5 to 1. Thlty seconds later the some two players staged a passing bout. with Grant com- pleting the play. Richards drove s lateral shot past: Cudmore getting S. Bernard's pass-out from behind the net. The game began to get rough at this stage. Deighsn poks- checked the puck from an oppon- ent near. the goal and made it 8 to 1 for the All-Stars. The Welsh- men pressed and Foy was absolute- ly sensational, turning back two rebounds and smothering s third.
