4 - 1 Win Over Halifax; '

VVhitlock Is -

SAINT JOHN. N. B.. March 11 -(CP)-Saint John Beaver; over- powered Halifax St. Mary's 4-1 Saturday night and brightened Saint John hopes 'of surviving the Maritime Major Hockey League semi-finals.

The result left Beavers trailing the Saints 3-2 in the best-of-nine series. The next two games are scheduled for Halifax Monday and Tuesday. If an eighth is neces- sary. it will be played here Thursday. The series winner will meet Charlottetown Islanders in the league finals.

Trent Anderson scored the lone Halifax-tally in the first -period. Nick Nicolle deadlocked the count in the second and Beavers scored three times in the third for a second straight win after dropping the first three guies. Paul Pialz fired a brace, both assisted by Jack Thaler, and be- tween these was a goal sand- wiched by playing coach Les Ram- SEV-

Beavers lost the services of centre Buck Whitlock early in the second when a hard check by big Eddie Brown flattened the league scoring champion. VVhitiock ap- peared st the start of the third but was unable to continue. and a later examlnalon showed a shoul- der dislocation. Beavers were seeking a replacement tonight for their ace forward. likely to be sidelined for the present series at least.

The veteran Ossie Carnegie, dis- playing the form that made him one of Canada's great hockey play- ers a few years ago. spark- plugged the Saint John win and drew an ovation from the fans.

The burly rearguard led Beav- Irs' offensive with a professional touch that bewildered the Halifax team. and defensively was also the outstanding player of the game.

His most popular efforts were against the big'boys of the Saints' squad-Frank Grabowski and Huzhie Campbell. The pair in- flicted some damaging blows in the early stages of the contest but gradually were battered into sub- mission by realiatory smashes by Carnegie.

Top star of the visitors was goalie Eddie D'Aoust, who blocked '28 shots. many of them point blank. He kicked out 10 in the first period and 11 in the second While Beavers carried to play to st. Mary's. In the last period D'Aoust's protection was not oi iihe best as the Saints mounted five-man attacks in an attempt to cut the widening Saint John lead.

The P. E. Islanders. under the guiding hand of coach Leo Lam-

oureux, emerged the victors of the first mile along the playoff trail in fine fashion here on Fri- day night when they downed the Hawks 4-1 to take their semi- final serles against Moncton in six games. Meeting in a scheduled

best of nine series the Islanders made a more than impressive showing after getting away to a

bad start. Losing the first game of the series here a week ago Fri- day by a 3-2 count, they swept through the rest of the series in a manner that left no doubt in any-body's mind as to what team was going to fill one half of the picture in the finals for the Big Four title. 0 O O

Cvarnerlng a 4-0 verdict over Hawks in the second game the fol- lowing night with an impressive performance. the scene of action shifted to Moncton where once again Islanders demonstrated their prowess as a well-balanced. aggressive club when they garner- ed their second shutout by a 5-0 verdict. ran it to three with a 1-0 decision and skyrocketed to their fourth back here on Thursday with a 8-0 dru-bbing to the Hawks.

O O O

In fact the big interest here in the sixth game on Friday wasn't whether or not the locals would win. but would the Islanders and goalie Hal Gordon snatch their fifth perfect performance in a row. Well, it was close at that. with only one getting by Islanders stellar custodian to break off his chances of not only bettering a new record in the Maritime: in that department. but topping out the N. H L.'s modern record. De- fenceman Lorne Smith's hard screened shot from the bluellne at 7:47 of the second frame was the blow that dropped Hal's record 30 minutes and 49 seconds short of that set by Bill Durnnn of Mont- real Canadiens in 1948-49.

0 O 0

Judging from Smith's actions following that goal, he must have felt as bad about robbing Hal of the chance at a new record, as the local custodian did on losing it. The big husky Moncton reargunrcl skated all the way in to the Is- landers cage to clap Gordon on the back. We don't know what he said to Hal. but judging from the manner in which he did it, the words were probably "Sorry Hal but I had to do it." Monclon was s losing club, but were certainly good lasers and a winning bunch of players as far as good sports- manship was concerned.

0 0 I

The situation in the Halifax- Saint John series has certainly taken a big turn for the better as far as the Beavers are con- cerned. Losing the first three games of the series to saints, the Beavers have made a. big come- back in the past two contests at saint John to leave the saints- marians holding only a 3-2 edge going into the sixth game of their best of nine series at Halifax to- night. . . .

Lifting themselves out of what was apparently a bad slump. Beavers struck back hard in their second home game on Thursday night to waliop saint Mary's 6-2 and made an equally fine showing on Saturday night. Coming from hehind s one-goal lead to derail lock the count in the second frame, Beavers launched a full- scalc offensive in the closing frame to up in three goals for I liberal 4-1 verdict. .

I

The Saturday night game had its bad points for the Saint John crow as well. They have probably lost the services of their star centremsn for the rest of the sea- son in the person of my "Buck" Whitiock. Buck. I Charlottetown boy and the league's high scoring 14:9 in three out of the past four seasons. suffered a dislocated shoulder when he wu the target for a hard body check by big do- fencsmsn nddio Brown of Bslifsx early in the second period. ltsny hockey fans and friends of Roy'- here, will be sorry to learn of his injury and will in wishing him the but of luck sad I speedy recov- ery. It is a really tough break for s smsrtvplsyor like Buck who has done so well all through s rugged 1!-some schedule. and o bed break for his teammates too. who were relying on him as one of their chief factors in pulling than through their present miss.

THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

TY” Hoopsters In 67 - 65 Victory Over Siside RCAF

Led by the sparkling play of lan-ky Don MacLea.n. who hit the cords for a 39 point total. Tim Tyler's surprising "Y" crew came -up with a 67-65 win over the Su-mmerslde Air Force in a hectic overtime battle played at the P. W. C. court on Saiurday night. The game. a regular Physical Fitness League fixture, wa.s a real thriller as the Y won it the hard way. After twice overcoming nine point margins the Trian-giemen tied the score at 58-all on foul shots "by -Dalziel and Ballem in the last few seconds of play and went on to ou-tscore the visitors 9-7 in a five-minute overtime session.

The 'Force took an early lead in the contest and appeared to have the game pretty well under control until the 12 min-ue mark in the in- iiiai stanza when the 'Tyiermen staged a spiriied rally that brought them up to the visitors with about 3 minutes remaining in the half. They could not keep up the pace however, as the Fiyers once again assumed command to run u-p a six point margin before the half-lime whisilc, the score standing 31-26.

The second frame began much as the first as the Birdmen again ran up a sizeable lead at the halfway mark of the stanza. Play was here enlivened by a slight scuffle as one of the officials and a Y play- er tangled after a differencecf opinion on one of the official's calls. Order was soon regained

and the Trianglemen once again '

-made up a nine-point deficit to catch the 'Force at the wire and bring on the extra segion.

The 'iY" opened the added period in great style as Howard Glover scored twice and McLean once without a reply, but then met a stumbling block in the person of diminutive ”Willy' Wilson as the

stocky forward dropped in three -'flEId goals to tie the score at 64 all. Ma.cLean and Wilson matched free ones and then MacLea.n swish- ed a one-handevr to win the ball game.

Standing out like I gabardine -suit on a Fiji Islander was me Y's Donnie MaicLean. The starry centre-man played a heroic game, tallying 39 points and generally bearing the brunt of the Triangle attack. Glover added 13 and How- att was effective at guard.

Wilson. pl-ayod stellar ball in dunking 20, while mates Button and Campbell scored 16 and 17 each.

The Y hit on 39 per cent of their field attempts and swished 13 free ones while the Airforce squad dropped in 37 per cent of their floor tries, adding 9 foul shots.

East Royalty Royals Win OpenerF.romOiLeary

Led by the Bradley-Shepherd- Jackson line the East Royalty Royals Saturday night downed O'- Leary Maroons 7-4 in the first game of a home and home, total goal series for the Provincial In- termediate hockey title. The game was played in O'Leary rink be- fore a good sized crowd of fans.

Teddy Bradley displayed his best form of the year to shoot three goals for the winners. Ralph Shepherd tallied twice. playing coach cliff Jackson and hard working Cy Gregory once.

W. Harris led the O'l4eary of- fensive with two goals. MacDon- aid and Ellis picked up singletons.

soft ice made puck carrying nearly impossible and several scoring chances were spoiled on this account. The game was com- paratively clean with the only outbreak being a. brief battle be- tween Harris and Blanchard.

Both goalies turned in strong performances as they were called upon on numerous occasions to stop point blank shots.

Royals played without the ser- vices of Mike Connolly, Ted strain and Ed Code. Maroon: were minus defencoman F. Smallman. The final game of the series will be played in North River rink, probably on Tuesday night.

Officials-James Hogan. Harwley Crockett.

By W.B. WIIBAILIY (Canadian Press stsff Writer) HAl..11"Ax. March it - (OP) -

Nov: Scotis's first Canadian curl- ing championship in 24 years came to a brilliant climax Saturday when Don 0yler's rink from Kent- villo ran out an efeawd string of 10 straight victories.

A three-way tie for second place necessitated playoff rounds last night and British Columbia. took over the runner-up spot over Back- stchewsn and Manitoba.

The title itself was decided in the all-important 10th round Sat- urday morning.

Nova Bcotia was drawn against Manitoba and Roy Forsyth'a Win- nipeg Btrath curlers needed I win if they were to retain a chance q pulling into I tie for first place. British Columbia. like Manitoba with six wins and two losses, was Nova Scotia's opponent in the final round and still could 't be counted out if both Western rinks could stop the surprising march of the Marltimers.
