lada's team points. She previously

was sixth in the women's giant slalom.

Plenty Credit To Roper For Flyers March To Top

The Parkdale Flyers 52 victory over S.D.U. Tuesday has just about sewed up the league champ- ionship for Barry Moorels squad. II 11 games played the Flyers have an outstanding record of 8 wins and only 3 losses. All 3 losses were suffered in the first 4 games play- ad and 2 of them were to the Mon- tague Primroses. The B.Y.C. wort- the only other team to take a win over the Flyers.

Parkdale has played the Saints twice and won both games by 5-1 scores. These games were both 4-pointers so the Flyers. with 20 points. have an insurmountable s point over B.Y.C. in second and I over Saints in third with 12. The youth club has only 3 games left to play and Saints only 2. If both of these teams could win all their remaining games while Parlrdala is losing its three then their would ho a three-way deadlock for the top spot. However, that doesn't figure to happen for Allla Carver and Co.. have been running along on the hottest winning streak reg- istered by any team in the Island League and will be looking for daelr eighth straight when they take on the youth club at. the Arena this coming Tuesday.

On the surface the success of larkdale is shrouded in mystery. In pro-eason polls the team most often picked for the title was none other than the B.Y.C. however after I wobbly start the Flyers picked up steam bulldozed their way over, Montague and the B.Y. 0. until they were firmly entrench- qd in the top position. Although they racked up the biggest score of the year when they piled in 14 goals on the Aces in a league

earlier and possess the lea-

e's leading goal-getter in Allie

er with 29 the Flyers have scored 9 less goals than the 3.1!. C, in the same number of games syed. But, and it is a big but. it: record books show that Park- s's sensational goalie Frank Iopor is the outstanding nelmlnd- c in the league. In fact. onsider- iag the high scoring that has been trademark of the league, Rnpei-'ii formance in the last 6 games a been ”r' short of phenom- gnal. The young red head has al- lowed only 14 goals in that period of time and that amounts to I average of only 2.33.

In overall league play the Fly- Ca have had 53 goals score again- thsrn in 11 games. However, kn has allowed only 21 of those. other 32 were scored on Sheld- In Jordan who did Parkdaln cksiopplng for 4 games while rank was on a trip to tho U.S. So Frank's goal against average is a superb 3.00.

Parkdale playing coach Alllc Carver will unht-rllatlngly tell u that Roger's the outstanding p y-

er in the league. Carver believes that Frank's performance has been the real reason behind Parkdale's rise to the top of the league. In this we heartily agree. It is per- haps a good thing that no one has thought to put up a most valuable player award for the league for it would be ulte a headache for the judges to ova to decide between Parkdsie's great goal-stopper and Parkdale's goal-gator Allis Carv- or.

The bus and cry over Canada's loss to the United States in tho olympica hasn't been as long and as loud as was expected. When the Toronto Lyndlinrsts were brushed aslds by the Rooshiiins in 1954 tho site of the world championships was almost declared a disaster area. Canadians everywhere were furious at the indignity of it all- bsliig whipped at our own national smo by a crew of Russian beg- niierii-siid showed the Europeans a thing or two in 1955 by sending ovar out snappy Allan Cup champs. the Pentlcton V's.

Apparently I loss to the us. isn't regarded as being the same as I loss to the Reds. with the former a loss only results in a more or less tarnished prestige in the hockey world. But a loss to Russia results in remorse of anoth- ar color. Of course Canada cant: be countsd out yet. And even if they do lose their championship table I victory over Russia will at least fulfill their political oblig- ations. From a North American standpoint the political angle is

retty rlduculous but we have

card that European countl-in don't feel that way.

.NEED CLEAR. VICTORY

1 An undisputed Olympic victory ;would dispose of another prob- lem-tho crowning of a new world champion.

Under lnternatioiial Ice Hockey Federation rules, the Olympic iourn 'ent constitutes the annual world championship . , lltlon in Olympic years. But IIHF regula- tions dlffer from Olympic practice when two teams are tied for first place.

While the Olympic officials use goal averages to break the tie. the IIHF calls for a one-game playoff, resorting to goal averages only if there is a three-team deadlock.

TIHF President Walter Brown explained the regulations after Sun federation at a meeting sat Sun- day as the data of a playoff if it ” necessary.

"Playoffs for three or more teams are out of the question be- cause of the time involved." Brown said.

The playoff could result in the crowning of two different cham- pions for the first time since in- ternational hockey competition be- gan. Canada was flat! with Czech- oslovakia in 194! and took the Olympic title on goal averages. But the IIHF recognized the Cana- diam as world champions without ordering I playoff.

With a 1-1 record full their 4-1 upset t the hands of the United Sta I Tuesday. Kitchener Waterloo Dutchmen are a full game behind the U. S. and Rul- clan teams. both unbeaten in two starts with three games loft to pay. Si ca they don't get another chance at the Americans. some- one will have to lend the Dutch- men a hand by knocking off the upset kids in one of their romain- lng games.

At the some time. the cane- dians have their work cut. out for them. They can take care of the Russians Saturday night. even if the Soviet entry remains unbeaten in its intervening games against the Czechs and Americans today and Friday.

But they'll have to do it by a whopping score to reduce the big Russian advantage in goal aver- ages- the determining factor if two or more teams finish the week in a first-place tie.
