For a. team that started out by losing three straight games. the

Saint John Beavers have really made their presence felt in Big Four semi-final playoff competit- ion against the Halifax Saint Mary's pucksters in recent con- tests. Inithe sixth game played at Halifax on Monday night they gave the Saints the battle of their lives and came within an ace of sending the series into a. stalemate at three games apiece. O I U

They had to work from the bot- tom up all the way too. and kept Halifax in continual trouble from the second period on to the final whistle. Rallying from behind a two-goal lead set up by the Hall- gonians in the first period that was stretched to three in the early part of the second. Beavers launched a furious attack that netted them three goals and dead- locked the score before the mid- way mark in the frame had been reached. Keeping up the pressure all through the closing session they had Halifax plenty worried despite a late second frame goal that gave the Saints I 4-3 edge.

i O 0 0

Going wide-open on the offens- ive. all through that final session to outplay the Schrlner-men. it was Eddie D'Aoust's sensational work in the nets that prevented the Beavers from once again deudlooking the count as they hammered in around the Halifax cage in attack after. attack. Pulling out goalie Dennis Brodeur in the dying minutes of the game in a vain effort to get the equalizer Beavers were forced to put him back in again when Halifax forced a face-off deep in Saint Jphn ice. It was just after Erodeuris re- appearance on the ice that Rocky Sullivan rifled home a shot that put the game in the bag for Saint Mary's.

O 0

It was probably the most crucial game of the series. the one that if it had gone the other way. might have changed the whole picture of the forthcoming finals. It would have forced another game back on saint John ice with both teams battling on an even keel, in which anything might happen. But at time of writing the situation is still undecided. and depends entirely on what happen- ed at Halifax last night. If the Beavers won it, there are still playoff hopes for them. and if not it is all over. with Saints and Is- landers the finalists for the Mari- time Major 1-fockfy League crown.

Many hockey fans have been asking "when will the playoff finals start between the winners of the Halifax-Saint John series? will the series start earlier than the teniativre date set for Monday. march 19th if Halifax wind up the series on Tuesday (last night)?" Well. from what we can learn from local officials, it could start here this week on Friday and sat- urday nights if Halifax take the series in seven games. At least that was the word from Forum Manager W. J. Brown yesterday. 0 O 0

Bill stated yesterday "we will know idefinately after tonight's game! that B of course if Halifax win. "We will be informed of the exact dates by telephone after to- night's game," Manager Brown stated. Concluded hill said "there may be two games of the finals here this week dependins on how
