Islanders Come From Behind In Third To Defeat Sydney 8-6

llhe. Charlottetown Islanders and "Buck" Whltlook made the most of the ”Wtiitlock Night" celebrations last night to defeat the Sydney Millionaires 8-6 in n free scoring game at the Charlottetown Forum before ii crowd of about 2400 fans.

Whitlock had himself a banner

erial sense when he scored one goal and assisted on three more, His goal. near the midiway mark of the third period, brought the Islanders into a draw with Sydney while his four points increased his iead over Billy Watson in the point parade in I0. '

The Islanders Spllfled into a 3-2 lead ill the first period only to see the Millionaires score three goals against one in the middle session. The Millionaires went ahead 6-4 in the final frame before the Island- ers started to find .1 weakness in clear-siiickiiig Nick Pldrodny.

Nick was an over-worked man during the early part of the third session and he held the fort until Lyle Wiseman. who has been a wing concern in recent weeks, blasted home a 40 foot shot.

Whiiiock followed up three min- lilcs later by st.-ni'iiig on a Wiscnian rcbound and then Ronnie Hurst vonverted Beaudry's pass to ac- .-riunt. for the tyinnine goal. This was the signal for the Pidsodnv Act. in the violent form and Nick let go with gloves and stick and r-xpi-esisions of disgust. Before re- turning to duty Pidsociny took time out to lap up some water and spray some fans close to the Sydney bench. .

With less than a minute left lni the game Mxircci Clements banged homo Wlscmanis rebound for the insurance tally.

Clements opened as well as clos- ed the scoriiiz when he pnlished off play wilh Whltlock and Gus Gust- xvesou at the 4.82 mark of the first period. Stan MacDougall and Fred- rlv Weaver put the Millionaires ,-head '1-l only to see Gary Gordon

count. Gordon took a pass from Vfcbagan and split the Sydney de- fense to score his goal, Bob Gray scored the final goal of the period.

Bill Mcbonaeli. Freddy Weaver and Dunc Madntyre scored three quick goals for Sydney early in the middle frame. Weaver and MacIn- tyre scored within the space of 17 sedonds as Ronnie Hurst sat in the penalty box.

Clements was back again nine minutes later to score his second goal of the night. This time he combined with Larry Travis.

The third period had only start-

ed mhen Dunc Macfntyre and Wal- ter Pawlshyn began roughing mat- ters near centre-ice. Pawlshyn drew two minors and Maclntyre one al- though the latter was the aggres- sor.

Two minutes later Freddy Hilde- brand almost connected for Sydney when he raced into the Islanders end and hit the goal post behind Al Miilar.

The Islanders were still a man short when ”Duke" MacDonald scored on Stan MacDougali's re- bound after rlralving Al Millar

The Islanders enjoyed a wide margin on the short-handed Mil- lionaires who were playing without George Robertson. Ronnie Rowe, Johiyiy Morrow and Whip whelan, In their place they used "Duke" MacDonald and Stan MacDougail.

4. A lavish set. of tennis courts in the Olympic arena which the coni- mittee says can be used for other events. The arena seats 10,000.

The Xaverians enjoyed a ter- rific advantnge over the Saints in height which the local Collegians attempted to match in jumping ability. The result was a brilliant battle for rebounds.
