The Polski rink built up a 7-1 lead against. the Canadians in the first five ends of the final and for the first time the championship appeared headed for the United States. Then Hawkins’ rink set- tled down to count in the next four ends. drawing within one point oi tying the score.

The Americans drew away again with two in the 10th, but Char- lOiiEtOWTl scored three in the 11th and the rinks entered the final end ‘with score knotted at B-all. Haurkins, on his final shot, threw a. neat. guard for a stone within the char-uteri circle which proved the winner as Polskfs last shot. aimed for the white spot, failed t-o reach the mark in spite of hard-sweeping up front on light- ning fast ice.

Ray's Millionaires of the City Basketball League gave convincing proof Saturday night that fans who had tagged them as the team

to bent for the title this season were not far wrong when they took a. convincing victory from Saints in the first game of a doubleheader. - I I I Although the league is as yet in its infancy and much can happen before the final chapter is writ.- ten the latest victory oi the City, team is not to be discounted. Away to a disastrous start the winners showed they could come from be- hind and in so doing they gave an exhibition of sharps-booting that bodes ill for any team they may meet during the season. ~ I I I It was a tough loss for the Saints who appeared to be well on their way to a victory but for some un- accountable reason their fast at- tack that has always been a po- tent factor ln other victories slow- ed down after they had gained an early lead and in the slower tvpa of play there was little doubt of the winner's superiority. I I I But. knowing Saint Dunstaxfls athletic teams as we do their sec- ond straight setback-athe other one was at the hands oi the Navy -will only spur them on to bet- ter efforts. Big and fast the Saints have all the requisites of a smart, efficient basketball squad and if they can keep their attack roll- ing at thasame clip as they did in the first ten minutes Saturday night Millionaires or any other team in the league will have their hands full trying to keep stop with them. I I I The fans received yet shothair surprise in the second encounter when the Navy team came through with an upset victory over the highly-favored P. W. C. team. Showing the best accuracy they have done all season long and continually getting men into the clear for set-up shots the Tara chalked up their first victory and while their margin was not al- together a. convincing one it must be taken into consideration that the team they beat was the same quintetto that had already beat/en the Saints and had only been beaten out in the dying momenta in their game against the league- leadlng Millionaires. I I I Navy were strengthened Satur- day night by the gdditlon of Freddie McTague who added both punch and defensive strength to their lineup. If bhe club can add another couple of men of the some calibre then they too, as we llid so many times before, will have to be filured stronal: "h" playoff time rolls around. e e e Racing fans can easily take the mantle as being the most enthus- iastic in the world. Saturday after- noon, deapite near zero Welt-MI I good sized crowd were on hand for the Victoria Driving Club's meeting at Victoria Park and ll"- ~ spite the intense cold the trial?!‘- ity of them stayed shivering through to the very’ last heat.

They were rewarded with see- ing what was probably the best afternoon's racing of the S6850!) In over 90 per cent of the heats the finishes terminated with three horses battling it out with only feet separating them and Wit-I) times also being the fastest oi the season.

DETROIT 1; MONTREAL 0

DETROIT‘, Jan. 25—(CP)—Don Morrison scored in the last six minutes of play tonight to give Detroit Red Wings a. 1-0 victory over Montreal Canadians before a National Hockey League crowd of 13,658 fans.

Morrison's tally was loudly pro- tested by the Canadians. He lined out a shot from back of the not and it hit. Durnan on the ankle and fell between the goaltenders feet. When Durnan ‘dropped blind- ly to cover the area he appar- ently pushed the puck back over the goal line. Durnari and Glen Harmon both claimed the puck never entered the goal.

Driving Club officials to keep up the continuity of m‘? popular event, an event. that, the past. couple of seasons has been wit.- nessed by thousands of race fol- lowers.

I I I

Anybody who like their hockey crammed full of action should have taken in the opening game oi the City School series between West Kent and Queen Square last Fri- day night at the Forum when the challenging Queen Square team set back the West. Kent squad 5-2.

I I

By the margin of their victory Queen square should be good he's to break the monopoly of the West Kent. team on the C11‘. Archer trophy but they are not yet out of the woods. West Kent by their showing in the first game are still mighty threats and the next game date to be announced later, should be a thriller-all the way.

I I I I

But getting back to Friday night's game the kids threw every- thing at their command-into the fray. There was both good and poor hockey but always there was action galore and the big cro-vd of fans, a fact which was pleas- ing to say the least, really atc it up. The ones that saw Friday's game will be back that is a sure thing, but they should be joined by that manly more which we think would create a record hereabouts for school hockey.
