Don Metz, with t/wo goals, top- ped the Toronto att-ack. Hank

Bobby Laurent. and Eddie King tallied the others while Charlie Phillips got bofih Saint John goals, one on a penalty shot at the close of the game.

Beavers, who eliminated the 0t- tawa and District champions Hull Volsnts in an interorovincial play- down after winning the Maritime title, held the flving Goodyears fairly well in check in the first period despite the three goals thev were forced to concede while Herb Mortimer in the Toronto net kept his cage clear.

Dickie Outstanding

Goodyears really showed their class in the middle frame when rang up four scores while Beavers’ efforts produced few soor- ing opportunities for them and Mortimer had but three shots to handle. Bill Dickie. the outstand- ing performer on the Saint John squad. handled 13. three of them from left winger Hank Goldup when the lanky Goodyear player was in alone on of him.

Powerful and finished in the see- ond period. Goodyears’ attack sud- denly bogged down in the third as Beavers took a new lease on life 3nd came back fighting.

lvlinor penalties to Sutcliffe. Johnny Inglis and Jack Draper

who was chased twice in the third frame, forced Gocdyears to watch their defence a lit-tie closer and Beavers carried the play to them.

Phillips got his first goal while Draper was ofi. He moved to centre from defence for the face- ofl’ and slammed the puck back to the blue line where Ham Riley picked it up and shot at the Good- year cage. Bill Gulliver took a cut at it after Mortimer made the stop and Phillips tipped it home.

Johnny Inglis’ minor with seven seconds to go cost Goodyears an- other goal. He held “Boots" Baird when the Beaver centre was only five feet from Mortimer and Phil- lips scored on a penalty shot.
