"lt's been a long time since I've seen o. club as ready to go o: as mentally alert as this one,’ said Archie, as he worked overtime to make sure the Leafs enter the fir.- als without even a hangnail. ."Last year's club was just about the bust l have ever worked Over and this one isn't far behind. They're phy- lioally perfect and sharp up- stairs. . ."
The Leafs, who have not been in action since they ellrrcinated the Boston Bruins last Wednesday, are holding morning and afternoon workouts here. '
If the Wings win tonight the Leafs will travel to Welland by bus Thursday and catch a train there for Detroit. If the Canadiens triumph the Leafs head east im- mediately by train.

Although both will feel the loss of these men in their own partl- cular fields, the squads will both be coming out strong tonight. to rack up the initial win in the series and fans can depend on seeing a really smart hoop encounter when the two teams clash.

Losing the final game to the R. C. A. F. by one point at the Sum- merslde Airport on Monday night,
the Saint Dunstrurs University hoop squad nevertheless took the semi-filial series by eight points on the round to move into the finals in Island Physical Fitness Basketball League competition against the Charlottetown Reece cogcmun. . o e
Playing one of the closest games to be seen in League competition this (year, the R. C. A. F. boys scored a 47-40 victory over the University squad, but unable to overcome the nine point advantage that the Saints held over them as the result of a 51-42 victory in the opening game at the P. W. C. auditorium last Wednesday night, the smart band of Western Capital hoopstcrs were forced to bow out of the League picture.
o c n
The same two teams who showed their superiority in regular schedule play to finish first and second in the League standing, Reece and Saints battled their way through their respective semi-final series to earn the right to meet each other in the final round. The semi- final clashes were two-game, total points affairs, with Reece eliminat- ing Ray's Millionaires, the de- fending champions by a round score of 112-85, while the Saints forced out the R. C. A. F. squad by a $77-89 count; on the series.

The opening game of the best two of three game series for the title is scheduled to get underway on the P. W. C. floor tonight at 7:15 and should be a really top- notch match and far be it for this column to try and pick a winner from these two evenly match- ed squads, who are expected to turn in probably one of the most keenly contested final series to be seen here for’ some time.
- a c
The Saints, who from some quarters are favored to take the series ovcr the so far undefeated Reece hoopsters, will be playing the final round minus the capable coaching of Father Walter Mc- Gulgan, who is at present a patient in the City Hospital. Father McGulgan has beci the guidihg hand for the Varsity squad dur- ing the past several years and there is no doubt that his valu- .able ‘assistance from the sidelines will be greatly missed by the wear- ers of Red and White. However, the smart style of play that he has developed in his team will still predominate and it can .be dzpended upon to stand them in good stead in the forthcoming series.
_O O O
On the other hand, the Ivan Harper-coached Reece squad, who hold the enviable record of going undefeated in 12 games this ses- son, also have a large following of backers who believe that the boys have what it takes to wrap up the series. There is no doubt about it that they are a formid- able aggregation and their post performances are indication enough that they are a favored crew to take the title, and it is a cinch that if their opponents are go- ing to beat them they are going to have to play as never before to do it.
O O I
Speculation, While hcing a pleas- ant pastlme, is nevertheless an gn- predlctable one. and this column is content to let the, matter root and let the boys decide the final outcome once and for all.
