~ game will he witnessing the tail

Although the saints and Crys- tals hockeylsts will be going into their second game of their best of three series for the Island inter- mediate A Hockey, Championship at the Forum tonight, they will still have to decide who wins the

opening game which started at summerside on Saturday night, be- fore they launch into the second encounter. - . . .

Playing to an evenly contested series opener that progressed to the midway mark of the third per- iod at Crystal Rink on Saturdav night. the Saints were leading by a 6-4 count when the game had to be called off due to a section of the rink‘s promenade collapsing. The added weight of excited Su 11- merside fans who were leaning over to get a better view of the tussle that broke out between two players at the 10:10 mark of the final frame was the cause. making it impossible to continue the game under the circumstances.

. . . It was certainly an unusual or- currence. but then very odd things happen durin a hockey match. although we a mil: this takes prior- lty over anything that we have ever heard of before, or probably ever will hear of again. It also brings about one or two other odzi aspects in connection with the in- cldent. It means that two players. Kiker Mclsaac of Saints. and am‘- die Kelly of Crystals. will have to serve two minutes each in the penalty box at the Forum here tonight. for an offence they committed in another rink 40 miles distant. while fans who will be attending tonight's

end of a game that started two days ago. in order to find out Wll.') leads the series in the second game they have gone there to see.

Ever since Island heavyweight boxing champion George “Big Boy" Peterson made a public ac- ceptance tu a challenge by Cobey Mccloskey to stake his title on the line next month, there has been a._ lot of talk and speculation buz- zing around local boxing circles as to the O'i.lloCCI.':lc.0f.5ll.(:ll a gneelins

Although originally a. local scrapper. Mccioskey has been fighting out of Dartmouth, N. 8.. ever since 1944. and only recently has returned to his Dartniouth home after spending a few months fighting in the New England States. where he has made a. cred- itable showing in the middleweight division. He issued a formal chal- lenge through the press a week or so ago to Peterson for n 10 round contest for the Island heavy title. which the latter accepted last Tuesday during 3 b'oxl.ng card here. 0

Peterson has not been doing very much fighting during W9 PI-W Ye” or so. but defended his title Duc- cesafully against Reg -O'Brien of Sumineraide last November when he knocked out the _We.1tern chal- lenger in the second round of ‘a title bout, and prove that he still packs plenty of his former wallop although he had been using ii.’ sparingly of late. mainly due to the fact that there are few lieovy's in the Province iihat are willing to swap punche.~.; with. the “B18 BOY-'

He will be meeting a much light- er opponent in Mcflloskcy. but I boy who is fast. rugged and hits hard and often. and although Cobey will be giving away SWIG fifty pounds or so to Peterson. will be a good contender for the title and will make the champ tight every inch of the way if he intends to retain hls.tif-.18.. _

In recent fights in the States, Mccloskey took on eight round de- viaion over Benny Decade of Providence. Rhode Island on Feb. 23rd.. while at Fall River on‘ March second. he knoaed out -Toll Oontores in the third round of a scheduled six rounder AM It W0?- cester, Mass.. on ninth. earned a. six-round draw de0i£l0n with Tiger Flowers of that town.

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

The promenade railing at the west end of. Crystal Rink collapsed ten seconds after the halfway mark in the third period in the l1!'SL game of the final series of the island intermediate Hockey League between St. Dunstan’s University and summersiue Crystals Saturday night. and the match had to be discontinued with the S. D. U. team leading 6 to 4. ‘.l.'he remaining nine minutes ana fifty seconds will be played before the second game begins at Charlottetown Forum tonight. "Klker" Mclsaac and Gor- die Kelly started throwing punches in the north-west corner of the rink. tsobby uay jumped in to sep- arate the combatants and the rail birds leaned far over to see the fisticutis when suddenly the railing gave way, precipitating about fifty spectators onto the ice. when the game resumes in Charlottetown nelly and MCISBBC will be in the penaity box, and it is doubtful if ever before in the annals of Can- ada's major sport have players been penalized in one town and re- qulreo to sit out their penalties in another tc-ivn forty miles away.

The game was played before about a thousand fans on a per- fact sheet of ice and produced some of the best hockey seen in sum- merslde this winter. The Crystals were two goals down when the game came to its uiiexpectcd cnil. but they missed three times on what looked like sure chances to blink the red light. Bcnny Graoy raced in on the goaler in the first period but was uutguessed. in the final abbreviated frame Layton Schurman was all set to pull the goalie out of the net. a trick in which Laysh excels, when the puck got tangled up with his skates. Tralnor missed an open corner in the same period. A penalty wns given to goaler Sprague in the sandwich session for interfering with a St. Dunstan player round- lng his net.

The early part of the first peg-. lod was all St. Dunsta.n's and sprague had to be agile to keep them from penetrating his cage as long as he did. Hennesscy finally scored at 9.37. flipping the wafer over Sprague's body as he lay prone on the ice. Five minutes later. Desrosler tank a. pass from Houde on the right wing to make it two to'nll. And the period end- ed wlthout further scoring.

Early in the middle session Clitf Bernard made it 3 to 0 when both crystal defencemen gave their whole attention to Joe Mahar, who passed it over to Bernard before he was taken out of the play. syi Bernard scored Crystal’: first counter two minutes later on .7. beautiful solo effort. Svyl broke away from the pack at the centre line. In spite of the fact that he was chased closely and had to

urry his shot. he took time to felnt the goaler out of position and drive the rubber home. Jerry Mc- Quaid got the first of his brace of goals halfway through the period on a shot which made sprague look s trifle bed. A minute later strain let a soft one go through him

Midget Vic/s To P|ay'Ai S'side‘Tonighl I '

The Charlottetown Victoria Midgets will journey to Summer- side tonight to cross sticks with Jimmie Hogan‘s Kinsmen Midgets at Crystal Rink in the first game of a home-and-home series for the Island champion Lip. Ttotal goals will decide the issue.

The Kin-midgets have had

the

best players, Neil Walker. who is recovering from pneumonia. but the rest of their lines are intact and they are ready to give the Charlottctown boys the game of their lives tonight. This Ls the team that won the Prince Edward Ialnnd-New Brunswick champion- ship last year. and most of the boys are still with the team so they should be even stronger this year.

It is hoped that hockey fans in Summer.-it‘.-.i will rally to the sup- port of the boys by attending this game. The hockey dished out by the _iuv’enile.s and midgets is sur- prisingly good. some fans have even expressed the opinion that their plays are on a par with the intermediate boys.

The Midget Victories will leave from the Travel Bureau this eve-' nisg at 6:15 by private cars for lheir rendezvous with the Kins- men. __

The line-up of the xinanen Midgets is as follows: Goal. Mae- Kay and Lefurge : Gefoncs. lid Dalton,
