Some 200 persons gave I gay welcome to the Vs as they aligbted from their big Trans-Canada Air Lines plane.

Other wcll-wishers waited at the domestic terminal where an in- formal civic reception was to be held. A steady drizzle did not dampen their mood. The plane. running 40 minutes late, landed here to refuel. and was scheduled to remain about three hours be- fore continuing its westward trip.

Mayor Jean Drapeau was on hand to make individual presenta- tions to the players. The plane carried 26 persons-20 players and six officials Indiana.

Prominent among the grceters were Ieverel members of the Montreal Canadlens of the NI- tlonal Hockey League. who met the VI with slaps on the back and hearty handshakes.

For a while there was some speculation that the hearing might be postponed. A spokesman for Canadiens said Dr. Young wanted to keep Richard in hospital for the lurthc.i' examinations but agreed to let him attend the hearing and then return.

”We don't know yet the results of the examinations so far but; since Richard is able to be at the hearing we might as well get it over with." said coach Dick Irvin. "We want to know what the deci- slon will be. We have a big game with Detroit here Thursday night.

"When Richard was cut Sunday night he must have lost I pint of blood. It was pouring down his face.

”Then the linesmnn. Thompson. made a flying tackle on the Rocket and threw him to the ice vi- olently. That sort of stuff-violent force-is against a league direc- live.

Mr. Doug Hill. well - known . Charlottetown sportsman, w a s pleasantly surprised early last

evening when he received a long distance telephone call from Syd- ney. Nova Scotia. At the other! end of the wire was Kevin Con-l way. a good friend of Doug's, and) defenseman of the world hockey? champion Penticton Vs who re-J turned to Canada by air yester- day. The Vs were forced to re- fuel at Sydney when the base at' Gander. Newfoundland becamel logged in and therefore impos-: sible for landing operations. As) so many fans remember Kevin) was a star performer with the Islanders several years back and made many acquaintances with Island fans while here. To each and everyone of them. Kevinl wishes to say hello. During the world tournament Kevin was pick- ed as one of the All-Star defense- men of the universal meet and it is our pleasure on behalf of Is- land fans to congratulate Kevin) and the rest of the Vs on their fine showing and to wish thcm the best in their future years in the gamc. The Vs will return to their western domain to attempt to uphold the honor which they won last year by capturing the Alfani Cup. emblematic of Canadian sen-l ior hockey supremacy. i e e e l Ycstcrday we lntcntioncd somc- tbing about the calibre of hnckcy , players that played in the Atlan- tic Coast Senior Hockey Leaguel this year. Our mention was in ref gard to the calibre of players that Dugger McNeill had brought in-- to Moncton. Duggar. however.l was not the only one to bring in: some fine men. As a matter of fact every team in the league had some new faces that proved to have lots of ability. The player with probably the best future in the game and the one that we would name as "Rookie,nf the Year." if there was such a thing 1 in the ACSHL. would be Itamb-1 lers' right-winger Henri Therrien. I Hank came to Lou !(lley's team 1 from the junior Three Rivers Reds in Quebec. When he came to Am- herst. Hank was only 19 years old and while there celebrated his 20th birthday. Hank was the Ram- blers highest scorer. collecting a total of 36 goals. He also had 24 assists to give him a total of 80 points in his first year in senior play. Hank out-scored his closest Amherst teammate, Dave Kiley.

Moncton Hawks Capture. Maritime Title By T rouncing New Glasgow Four Straignt

REGINA (CP)-World champion Tenley Albright and Hayes Jenkins added a touch of daring to the stiff P ics of ' , school figures Tuesday to lead con- testants in the North American figure skating championships here.

Miss Albright. 19-year-old student from Boston. received points as high as 9.5 of a possible 10 from Judges for some of her figures. completing six perfect tracings on the ice of exhibition stadium.

The figures count 60 per cent in singles events. The free" skating counts 40 per cent of possible points, and skaters are free to add innovations. They will be held to- night.

Miss Albright had a 42-point lead over Carol Heiss of New York who was in second place in women's singles. Hayes Jenkins led his younger brother. David. by 63 points.

After a three day rest. follow- ing one of the most hectic week- ends in the National Hockey Lea- gue's history. four teams. two of which are leading Stanley Cup contenders. swing back into act- ion tonight in Boston and St. Louis. The fourth place Bruins play host to the Detroit Red Wings in the Boston Gardens while the Black Hawks host the New York Rangers in St. Louis. It is a very crucial game for both the Red Wings and the Bruins and a win for either could

l mean a great deal in as far as the

Stanley Cup semi-finals are con- cerned. Should the Bruins dis- play the style tonight which beat the Canadiens in their last game. they may then have a good chance to slip into third place. one point in front of the idle Maple Leafs. The Wings on the other hand were also flying in their last appearance as they dumped the Leafs 6-1 while Terry Sawcbuk was taking over top honors in the Vezlna Trophy race. A win for the Wings tonight will mean a tie for first place with the also idle Canadiens. So this and each of the remaining game

in the NHL are big ones.

Back here on the Island it was learned last evening that the five members of the Charlottetown Is- landers, who were charged with assault and one thing or another following the fourth game of the ACSHL finals in Moncton. have pleaded guilty and have been fin- ed 8150.00 each for their actions. only five of the former six were fined when it was discovered earlier in the wdek that Wimpy Jones was not one of the men most seriously involved in the riot and so the courts dropped his charges.
