S'side Rinks Edged Out For Challenge Cup

HALIFAX. Feb. 28 -(CP) - Mayflower Curling Club retained the Molselian Challenge Trophy, emblematic of Maritime curling championship, today fighting off the stuliborn bid of - a pair of Sum-merside rinks to emerge five points to the good.

Final score of the two matches was :9-2'1 but it took a late rally by the Mayflower rink to come out on top. It was close most of the way. Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell. fought I-lughie Little to the last two ends before bowing 15-11 and Mayflowers' Reg Pier- cey. after taking an early lead. was forced to come up with s we in the 17th end to edge G. T. Hayes 17-16 in the other match.

The match between the Camp- bell and Little rinks was a see- saw all the way. Trailing 9-8 in the 10th. Little posted a three to go ahead but the Summerside rink came back to get two in the next two ends and move out front 12- 11. In the second last and. with Sumimerside laying one and two and Mayflowers number three, Little took out both the Charlotte- town stones with a brilliant shot that left him with two and in the last end. Little curled carefully for another pair.

Lead and mate on the Campbell rink were the two sons of the Prince Edward Island Chief Just- ce.

For Only

with only one game left to be played in the regular schedule of the Maritime Major Hockey Lea-1

gue, namely Charlottetown at Saint John tonight, the stages will be set for the start of semi-final playoff competition here and at Halifax on Friday and Saturday nights. Finishing at the top of the schedule, Islanders (as per league ruling) will meet the fourth place Moncton Hawks, commencing here on Friday. while second-place Hal- ifax saint Mary's will open their semi-final series with third spot Saint John Beavers at the Nova Scctia Capital on Saturday. 0 I 0

Both series will be hest-five- out-of-nine affairs that will de- cide the two winners who will meet for the M.M.H.L. champion- ship in a best-four-out-of-seven final series and the right to con- tinue on against the Cape Breton Mlajor Hcckey League chum-pions for the Maritime Major hockey crown. The Maritime titlists of course, will continue on into Gov- ernor General's Trophy playdowiis against Ontario and Quebec win- ners, the first fcr the new Major Series silverware.

I O C

Other dates set for play in the two semi-final series will see Moncton at Charlottetown again on Saturday night, and Islanders at Moncton for the third and four- th games on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Halifax will remain at Saint John fcr their second game of the series. with the scene shifting to Begvers' ice on Tues- day, Thursday and Friday of next week for the third. fourth and fifth games.

I I U

Joining the Moncton Club after the player deadline, defenceman borne Smith and forwards Mar- cel Beseite and sandy Air of the Hawks had been barred from the playoffs in earlier negotiations, but now it is understood that the Islanders have agreed to allow Smith to compete to make up for Moncton's loss of Joe Delmcnte, who has to undergo a serious op- eration and will likely be off Hawk's blue line corps for the rest of the season. Besette and Air have not been so fortunate how- ever .but it is understood that the smooth-skating Hawks forward Besette will be out for the play- offs anyway with. an injured knee.

0 O

Islanders too, will be short two top men, at least for the start of the playoffs anyway. Right winger Bruno "Red" Favero, the league's leading scoring ace earlier this season, is still in the hospital re- covering from a bout of pneu- mcnin, while sturdy and capable George McLagan of Islanders de- fence corps is also in the hospital undergoing treatment for an in- jured leg. Both, it is understood", are coming along nicely though. but are expected to be out fcr at least another week. Favcro is like- ly to be out longer than that as he was a pretty sick boy for a while, and one doesn't regain strength easily after pneunionia. especially for hockey the way the dynamic Favero plays it.

Aside from the Islanders. two other well-known City sportsmen are also convelescing in the hos- pital at the moment. They are John "Wackey" Mecliiachern and Finlay Miacleod. Known to every sport follower by that name. Wsckey was one of the city's leading athletes in days gone by and last summer suffered an in- fury that homiteiized him for some little while. Anybody who

The two college entries in the Is- land Hoop League, St. Dunstan's University and Prince of Wales Col- lege. emerged winners in last night's double bill at P. W. C. Auditorium, the B.D.

C. in a first- place tie, the "Y" four points be- hind the pace-setters and the Air- force two markers back of the "Y" in third position.

The first contest was the treat of the night as the I-Illlmen, after overcoming an early point deficit. turned on a burst of scoring power that the shorthanded Trianglemen. though game all the way. were un- able to cope -with. Father McCvuig- an's boys played their usual fast breaking game. firing a fantastic 102 shots at the "Y" basket, and scoring on 42 of them to net is very. very neat -id percent of their field attempts. The Yeliowshirts in turn. tried all times from the floor, hit- ting the cards on 24 of their tries for a 28 percentage.

Leading the Saints to victory was their ace sharpshooter, Jack Rear- don, who had a good night in scor- ing 28 big ones. Dunphy besides playing a terrific floor game added 19 more while Mullaily and Really had 12 each.

Leading the "Y" attack was per- haps the smallest player in the league, the "jumping bean" Barry Ma.cMi1lan who played heads-up boil in netting 20 markers. Close behind was George Scantlebury who dunked ls.

Judging from reports of the Saint John-Halifax clash at the home of the Beavers Tuesday night, there was a bit of a delay over the eligibility of some of the players under the imposed sus- pension by League President Judge J. Eliotl. Hudson. President Hud- son had suspended Hughie Camp- bell, goalie Eddie D'Aoust and Don McLaughlin of Halifax and 'I;ed Watson of Saint John fcr over- looking the payment of in-uposed fines. Three of the boys, however. paid their fines right at the rink and were permitted to play. Mc- Lnughlin. did not play on Tuesday night. whether he had paid the fine or not the report didn't state, and of course will depend on whether or not further action will be taken in his case.

College Teams Winners In Hoop Games Last Night

the first as both teams played close- checking, methodical ball which allowed none of the shoot and run tactics employed in the first item of the double bill. The Welsh were bothered more than a little bit by the close marking and were not able to break loose on any big scor- ing spree as they had in an earlier meeting between the same squads. The Welsh tossed 64 shots at the Moneyman citadel, dunking 11 for 26 percent while the Millionaires fired 5'1 attempts, sinking is of them for 23 percent.

Lanky Charlie Hlne led the win- ners with 16 while rookie Jim Wood was strong on rebounds in adding eight.

Ian MacNevin was tops in a los- ing cause with 9. Gump Giilis hav- ing 8. Irv McKinnon played a strong defensive game for the los- ers. .

Monclon Hawks Down Halifax Si. Mary's 6-3

HALIFAX. Feb. 28 - (GP) - A three-goal outburst in the final per- iod gave Moncton Hawks their first victory over Halifax St. Mary's here tonight by a score of 6-3 in the final scheduled game of the Mari- time Major Hockey League.

I-Iaiifax opened fast in the first period and two quick goals by Rocky Sullivan and Pat Powers made it look like a sure victory for the loc- als. '

But Hawks came fighting back when Roddie McKenzie and Lou

score before the period ended. Teams split a pair of goals in the second period. with Mousie Dewi- ing giving Hawks in one goal edge, only to have John Myketyn score on a rink-length rush to put the squads even-stephen once more. Hawks went wild in the final canto and scored three times with- out a reply. Goals went to Sandy Dick Miller and Larry Dun- v e. l Saints, using five juniors. Hes- sian, Hopkins. Dsiley, Fielding and Cochrane. were unable to match strides with the New Brunswickors, who flashed too much experience

Pre - Isrive Donations Seen Happy Inaugural I By . Hockey Committee

' Though Mayor Nails 8. Mac- Donald's drive to obtain financial existence for the mums Inland- ers Hockey Club has not yet start- ed, ' hefty d " are al- ready in the Mayor's strong box, one a personal donation ton: Premier J. Walter Jones, the other from Colonel D. A. Maqxiniion, both of whom have been resular attendants at Big Four League

games.

This is a flying start, proving as it does that le d in business and Government think our great national game worthy of every support and ouragement.

The Mayors Committee met last night at City Hall for an hour and rapidly outlined preparations to bolster the Islanders financial position. Those present, in addit- ion to the Mayor were Doctor my Kennedy, Dr. Charles Dougan snd Councillor Wendell Beaten.

It was decided to ask about fifteen more. representation citiz- ens to assist in the drive and these will be invited to attend another meeting at City Hall tonight.

There will be no high pressure canvass from door to door. instead members of the committee will call on citizens known to be inter- es

The great body of faithful fans however will not be overlooked, and are asked io leave their don- ations blg or small with the May- or, or some member of the com- mittee. The complete list of the enlarged committee will be pub- iished on Saturday morning. No donation is too small-or too big.

"Gratefuily aware" said the Mayor at last nights meeting, "of the start helping hand we have had all winter from country resi- dents we would welcome any fin- nncixil help our rural fans wish to give."

Out of town donations can be addressed direct to the Mayor, and all of these as well as those from Charlottetown will he acknowledg- ed in the press from time to time. Perhaps the keynote of the small meeting in City Hall last night was the Mayors remark "we are going to see the Islanders ov- er through financial spots this year, and guarantee also that the club will be in the fight next year.
