The City Basketball League got sway to a good start Wednesday

The brand of basketball dished out Wednesday night while a little on the rugged side nevertheless at times produced some smart play and once the teams et a few more genus under their lts it should

evelop into a quite a battle for league honors.

Q sl- + Q

hltainly on Wednesday night there was little to choose between the four squads that performed. The winners both instances built up big leads in the opening sessions to make it appear as if they were going to have an easy ‘time of it but it was a far differ- ent story in. the latter part of the enmunters with the losers putting at drives that very nearly upset their opponenlf. ‘

Pflsog of Wales auditorium also snakes a fine spot for the games. With a large floor space available and with seating accommodation plentiful it gives the players a chance play a more wide open game than a smaller place would afford and also provides for the

omfort of spectators. So with

favorable conditions to work under there should be no reason Why the game doesn't hit the comeback trail wit-h a vengeance.

end of the middle canto, and thou 4-3 in the third and final canto.

Joying a slight edge with O'Shea turning aside Nicolle's rising shot as the P.W.C. winger skated in use. Pressing continually P.W.O. finally had their efforts rewarded at 921. Snaring the disc at cam tre Angie MacDonald slipped the wafer to Robertson and the stocky ngman rounded the lone de- fenceman to go right in and deflect the puck off O’Shea's' pads for the opening counter. Sticking to their attack, P.W.C. shot their second goal a little better than three minutes later from a melee in front of the Navy net, Mc- Lennan slamming it home, ter taking a pass from Quigley.

Here Navy started to force mat-

ters. Junop was robbed by Mac- one

Arthur at tlic goalmouth on a breakaway. I..eightizel' of P.W.C. was given a five minute sentence when objecting too strongly to a minor penalty and then MacArthur really rose to goal tending heights us he turned back Navy attackers three times in the last C0lll3i5 of minutes to keep his team's 2-0 lead intact.

Rugged Action

They went at it with high sticks, knees and everything else glurlnz the second period with Prince of Wales, sniping with deadly effect, outscoring their opponents 5 to 2 to take a 7-2 lead. The session was only 4.6 seconds old when Rob- ertson, with Leightizer still in the box, broke away from a gang at- tack to go the length of the ice for P.W.C.‘s third score. Beer, from Bradley at 3.57 on a passout from behind avy net; was the or- der of the next one for P.W.C.

Keeping up the offensive and threatening to make a rout Qulgley sent McLennan into the clear on a pass at the blueline and the.latter's high drive landed ln the open corner of the Navy cage.

A penalty to LeClairof the Navy saw a Robertson to Nicolle play click with lbeCiair in the penalty box to make it 6-0 at 6.57 of the period.

. Then the action really started. Navy started an offensive that had

P.W.C. backed up in their own_

zone finally scoring when Gre- gory, poke-checking the disc in- side the P.W.C. line passed to Ll- Clair who beat MacArthur with a high drive to the open comer after eight minutes, 50 seconds of P Bl’-

Beer and Gus McLeod were chased for roughing but the teams were at full strength when P.W.C. shot their seventh goal, Basnall passing out from behind the Navy net to Beer, the latter shooting the vultonite home at 11.42.

For the remainder o! the per- iod Navy hemmed P.W.C. in but it wasn't until 19.07 that the iin- ally beat the sensational lglWJI- goalie, McAdam going to within twenty feet of him on a pass from LeClair beforQ driving a knee- high shot into the draperies.

Seven goals was the sum total of the scoring in the third and final period that again saw action of the moat Erxgged order come into play. ering the session with a 7-2 lead the Welshman, be- fore the eleven minute mark had been reached had increased it to 11-2 on goals from the lcks of Nicolle, who accounted for the first two. and Beer and Bradley. Then the Navy started to Ppress and press hard to hold the . W. C. team in check and shoot three goals of their own with Iflannlgan. LeClair and Gregory accounting for the goals.

Only two penalties were dished out in the hard-hitting action Mc- Lennan and MacDougall going to "sinners avenue" after s rlef flareup of fisticuffs.

named Harvey Stone, who for the past decade has been associated with him as a trainer, as new head coach of New Haven Eagles of the American Hockey League.

Stone replaces Cooney Welland, former Boston Bruins and Hershey coach for several years. Welland will serve as Stone's assistant, said Shore.

The_New Haven club is in the leagues cellar. a position Shore described as "a strange thing for

m with a t experience of al- ways first d vision and champion- ship clubs."

Shore said, "I've tried hard to give New Haven a winner .. I tried various means to snap the club out of its slum . I regret to say that it is my f nal conclusion that the fault lies with the coach and I've found it necessary to re- place him.

“Effective today. Cooney Welland is an assistant coach."
