Once the Leafs moved on even terms. there was no doubt of the outcome as the Detroit team ﬂap- psd along on one wing. The Red ﬂhirts were much the best. club in the first period but in the ﬁnal 20 minutes, although they were two goals down, they directed only four shots at Turk Broda. Tor- onto's steady goaltender.

Black Jack Stewart put the Wings in front early in the in- itial period when he fired a long shot into the open corner of the Toronto net after Pete lloreck passed out from the corner. For ill minutes they held the lead M111 seamed to be headed for bheh‘ first win of the round when Tor- onto put on a burst of power that could not. be denied.

Rouyn Flashes Even Series With Idalifax Navy

KliiKLAND LAKE, Ont. April 13—-(CP)—Rouyn, Que, Flashes to- night defeated Halifax Navy 6-5 to deadlock their best-of-flve series for the Eastern Canodlﬂlntermed- late championship at a game apiece. Navy won the -first game here Tuesday 6-4.

Tonight's game was marked by some of the roughest play seen here this season as Ginger Thomp- son, red-thatched wingman of the Navy, suffered a skate gash on his forehead for which Rene Cyr of Rouyn received a 10-minute match penalty for inflicting deliberate in- jury. Reg Burll of Rouyn also re- ceived a slash across the face that took him out of the game.

The Rouyn team took the edge on the scoring from the three-minute mark and held the Navy in check throughout the balance of the game, although they were tied twice-once in the first and again ln the second.

Standout stars for Halifax Navy were Spider Spldell and Shed Shedlowskl, the former scoring one goal and one assist and the latter two goals. Verne Franclle and Nooi Guimond of the Flashes stood out for the Quebecers with two goals ‘

apiece. I

mosphere of the arena rose to elec- trlc tension as the play became rougher and body checking, board- ing and rough play generally came to the forefront.-

Foilowing the match-penalty ‘handed out to Rene Cyr at the 10:43 mark of the final period, the players left on the ice for Rouyn ranged themselves along the blue- llne and ‘turned hack wave after wave of Navy attacks. At this point the Flashes were leading 6-4.
