For the last month or more the main topic concerning goal scoring has been in the regard to the 400th goal of Maurice "The Roc- ket.' Richard. the great right-wing- er of the National Hockey League Montreal Canadiens, who is con- sidered tbe greatest hockey play- er ever: Now that the great goal is history. - it gives us a. little time to consider some other great scorers and their star-spangleii careers. Yesterday as we sat at our desk, our line of thought wan- dered back to the night. of Feb- ruary 13. 1953, a night in which the Charlottetown Islanders were defeating the Halifax Atliintics 5-2. The Islanders took a 2-0 lead at 11.24 of the first period. About thirty seconds after the goal was scored the public address system in the Forum blnred out the word to more than 2500 home-town fans that a Charlottetown native, Roy "Buck" Whltlllck had just tip- ped George MacLagzin's slap-shot by goalie Roy McMeekin for the 300th goal of his senior hockey career. Yes. that was a big night for the stocky centerman of the

Islanders.

At that time. Buck was playing his 7th season and was In his 30th year. Many fans earnestly thought lhat. this was the climax in the great centers career. Now it is two years liter in 1955 and Buck is leading the ACSHL scoring par- ade and is still as dangerous as
