‘Crystals Smother Vics 10-1 To Win Semi-Fin.-al Round By 22-7 Score

Dr. Vinea GrInt'I aununerside crystals moved into the final round of die Island Intermediate A Hoo- key uague in no uncertain terms at the Forum last night when they smothered the 1“ lottetown Vic- torian under I 10-1 score and take the home and home, total goal, Ieini-final series by the lopsided count of 22-1.

Led by the sharpshooting of Benny Grady who etched up four goals and two assists for six scor- ing points. the Crystals outscored their rivals 1-0 in the opening session. 4-1 in the second and sla.mmed home five more in the -third period without a reply from the Vics to take an easy victory and were never in trouble at any point of the game from the second period on.

The Crystal; will meet the win- ners of the Abbie-Saints series which will be decided at the Forum tonight. the latter leading by a two-goal margin going into to- night’: game.

Other goalgettcrs for suminerslde were Layton Schurman with two goals and two assists, Stan Gal- lant. one goal and three assists. vwhlie syl Bernard. Emmett Trainer and Gordon Kelly garnered one each. and all picked up assists as well. Garth Gay also came up with four assists. Ted Flanagan chalked up the Vics lone tally on an assist from Ted Bradley.

Although the game was cleanly played all through the first period with no penalties handed (tut. it roughened up considerably in the second and third with six being handed out, five going to Vics play- ers and one to Crystals. All were for minor infractions. except I misconduct to “Piuui" MacDonald of Vics, who after being waved off for boarding in the second period, body checked referee Clarence Steele to the ice and was awarded an additional 10 minute miscon- duct.

The Vics played close hockey against the visitors in the open- ing frame. and for the first five- mlnutes kept the crystals bottled up behind their own biueline. and although they banged rubber at goalie sprague from all angles. they failed to get one past him. But the Crystals got into the play from the five mark on. and forcing the play. came up with the first and only goal of the frame at 5:40. It was a see-saw battle for the rest of the period. The play wasn't very fast. but both teams had scoring chances, although

.neither could capitalize on then with both goalies Ward and Spregue right on the job.

The last two periods were I dif- ferent Itory. however. when crys- tals, making good most of their scoring chances, and Vics muffing their, the Western boys took charge

of the play to bang home four coals to one in the sandwich ses- sion. and rounded it off in the final frame in handy fashion. pot- ting five without I ‘reply to take I most decided victory by I 10-i tally. ‘

Local tight fans got more action

than they bargained for at the Whelan Memorial Hall Tuesday night when promoters Pou ton and Lund sta-gecl another successful six-bout card that came up \vith five straight decisions and a draw decision in very ’evenly contested. crowd-pleasing affairs. and was highlighted by an unscheduled and impromiiu scuffle between mid- dleweight Pat Davis of Halifax and referee George "Big Boy" Peierson, Island heavy champ. . . . .

Opposing Harry "Kid" Poulton. Island xveiicrweigi-it title holder. in the eight round. feature ailme- tion on the card. Davis got a bit out of hand during a particularly hot session in the early part of the sixth round. to throw a couple of deliberate punches at referee Peterson. who was endeavouring to break up a clinch between the

two contestants. . .

The unexpected assult nearly developed into an open rioifinsidc the ring. and caused excitement and confusion among the large crowd of spectators. whcn. Peter- son, provoked by the attack. went after his ama i1an.t with bare knuck- les and had to be dragged off by officials and handlers who took some time in breaking up the melee and restoring order.

0 O O 0

Another surprise came when Davis, who had climbed through the ropes, anticipating banishment from the contest, and he certainly should have been. was called back in by a “cooled off" Peterson. who informed him "if you want to continue. get back in and fight." Davis complied with the request and the fight continued. with Poulton throwing all caution to the wind to hammer his big op- ponent all over the ring for the remainder of the round that had Davis in a near heel-pies condition at the bell

In the final two rounds, Poul- ton was definitely in command and handed out bruising punish- ment but the big Halagonian stood his ground to. throw plenty of leather back at Poulton. who at times had difficulty in shaking 01:! some damaging punches. and tir- ing himself with the fast clip, didn't seem to have enough power left to send Davis down although he did come up with a close decision. Davis piled up most of his points in the early rounds. and despite his unrulyncss in the sixth, gave Poulbon about the ruggedcst battle we have ever seen him take part in. in I local ring. and the judges final decision was not re- ceived with too much enthusiasm by some of the at;tend.ing fans.

Gsrnerlng I split decision over Bud Lund, Island lightweight champion, in the six-round semi- final go. Roy "Tiger" Steele‘: ag- grssive performance‘ was also I bit of a surprise to many fans, and although the scrap was a “non title" affair. the result is very like- ly to force Lund to put his title on the line by public demand in the near future.

I O 0

Steele was definitely the ag- gressor in the first two rounds when he carried the fight to Lund and did most of the punching. while Lund. taking things easier. parried I lot of punches and came up with effective counier blows. but really didn't take the offen- sive until about the fourth round. ssftcr battling to very even terms in the third.

Lund was more Ioggresive from the fourth on. and was getting the better of the exchanges over I slightly tiring Steele. and outbox- 'ed his opponent in the fifth to get in some solid punching, but Steele fought back hard all the way. and although he hit the can- vas for a "no count" in the final round from I hard right and left to the head. fought back in rug- ged ntyie for a rousing sixth round. Although the fight was close and not easy to Judge, Steele got the nod with I slight edge on pointa. which he had piled up in the early rounds.

Going into the final end the Mac- Donald foursome led 0-8. The Bridgewater rink staged a rally and were lying five when MacDonald came up with his final rock. He had only one chance. Wick in off one of his opponents stones to centre and lay shot behind two rocks. He did just that in a per- fcctly executed play. The Bridge- water skip had little or no chance in dislodging the shot. His last rock was short and on the guards.

in a ceremony following the play. Mr. Gordon Avard. local manager

of the Atlantic Wholesalers (East-

ern) Ltd. presented the trophy to the winning rinks and silver trays to the individual members. 1-Io congratulated them on their Ich- ievement and the calibre of play exhibited throughout the bonspiel. Yesterday's results follow:

LONDON. March 15 —(CP) — Canada. massacred a weak but will- ing Belgian squaid 33-0 tonight to advance into the final round rob- in of the world hockey tournament. Joining Edmonton Mierourys in the final gro-ulp of six wdll be the Unit- ed States. Britain. Norway. Swit- zerland and Sweden.

For the Mercurys. tonight's "contest" provided them with some passing and shooting pract- ice. with every member of the Canadian team except goalie Wil- bur Dclcncy figuring in the scor- i.ng summary.

Statistics showed Belgian net- minder Jacques Heylen handled 114 shots to only 14 for Deleney.

Leading the onslaught were Leo Luochini, Hassle Young. Harry Al- len, Ab Newsome and Billie Dswe with four goals each.

The outcome was never in doubt as the Canadians burst into the Belgian zone five strong on the opening play of the game.

In other games tonight. the United States best the Newer- lands 17-1 for their first victory and Britain blanked Norway 2-0. The British squad has yet to be scored on after two games.

In the three preliminary groups of three teams. the top two squad: in each qualified for the final round-robin series which will start Friday.

In their wild scoring nose to- night. the Mercury's potted 14 goals in the first period. 10 in the second and nine in-the third. They might have doubled the score except for the fact they tried every fancy passing a in the book.

The Belgian: seldom worked the puck out of their own end. and when they did have I soaring op- portunity. they missed because of over-eagerness.
