The opening game of the biggest baslcetaba-ll series in the Maritimes -basketball series in the S. D. U. Gym tonight with Saint Dunstarfs Uni- versity opposing Saint Francis Xavier University in the Maritime Intercollegiate finals.

The two university qulntets. re- garded-as the number one and Two basketball teams in the Maritime Provinces, will enter tonight's con- test with an almost perfect record on the season's play.

The crack saint Dunstan's squad have been undefeated in 19 starts while the Xnveri.-ms, defending Maritime College champs, have 1175: only one game.

That loss was suffered at the hands of the Saint John Allantlcs early in the year. However, the xaverians more than made up for the setback by subsequently defeating the Atlaniics on three occasions. -

Saint. F. X. won the Nova Scotin Intercollegiate championship with- out too much difficulty. On top of that they defeated the strong Syd- ney Y.M.C.A. team last week in the semi-finals of the Nova Scotin intermediate play-offs.

Biggest man on the Anligonlsh Collegions team is six foot. five inch Howie lVicNally. the tap art- ist. Other outstanding players with St. F.X. are Al Grassi, a. freshman guard. Russ McNeill and Shea.

Playing coach Jack Reardon. the boy with 31.8 points a game aver- age in intercollegiate play this year, stated last night that his team was in good condition for the important game.

The forwards have been shooting very well in p1':1('llse during the last few days and big things are expected of Pete Dunphy, Johnny Taylor, Gus Dorais, Joe Mullally and Earl Macxinnon in a scoring way. Guards Cy Molsaar. B-ob, Mooney and Clarence MacDonald; can be depended upon to play tlirnn, usual, hard-driving game.

This is the first time Saint Dun- stan's have ever competed for the Maritime Intercollegiate Basket- ball clmmpionship. if they win they will shoot for the Siariiime and Dominion Intermediate titlb.

The Xavcrians will fly in here this afternoon. They are coached by Ambrose Gilmet, Physical Edu- cation. instructor at St. F. X.

The Xnvcrians usually play :1 strong defensive type of game and the Saints have been working hard in recent weeks on a plan cal- culated to crack open the St. F. X. defense.

The game will commence at 8.30.

l)K'l'ROl'l'. (CF)-Detroit Red W in g s clinched their fifth straight National Hockey League title Sunday night. by whipping Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1 on third- period goals by Gordie Howe and Tony Ilgswic-k.
