Hudsoh Finesl Arundel S75

HALIFAX. March ll-(CF) - President .1. Elliott Hudson of the Maritime Major Hockey League an- nounced tonight he has fined Johnny Arundel 515 and sus- pended him for one game, already served. for disobeying a referee in a game Tuesday night.

Referee Frank Elliott's report of

the game between Saint John Beavers and Halifax St. Mary's laid: "The Saint John team was giv- en a misconduct penalty when someone on the bench used abusive language to me. . .

"Arundel, acting coach for the night in civilian clothes stepped on the ice and was ordered to the dressing room. He sat in the penalty box and when I went for the police. he moved to a seat be- hind the penalty box and changed overcoats with a. spectator so as to disguise his appearance.

"I called two policemen then Arundel left the seat hid behind a steel beam."

Hudson said Saint John claim- ed Arundel went on the ice to go to the penalty box to serve the penalty but only a player in un- tform is permitted to serve pen-h alties according to the rules.

Penalty Free Game Marks Islanders Win Over" Saint John 3-1

The Charlottetown Islanders

: lbroke two records here last night

and moved to within one game of iclinchlng second place in the .Marltime Major Hockey League as they defeated the i::.;:;c-::;;::- ing Saint John Beavers 3-1 in a vpenalty-free tontcst.

. The win extends the Islanders .lead over third-place Halifax Saint lMary's to seven points and all but eliminates Halifax from any chance lot gaining second place. The Vsaints have four more games to play and must win them all while the Islanders must losv all ineirs order to take over the runner-up spot.

For the first time in their two- year-old history the Islanders lplayed a complete contest without ;a man entering the penalty box. ;Several times players fringed upon rule infractions but at. no time did referees Pete Mill and Hugliie Glllis see fit to call a penalty.

The victory over the Beavers. the Islanders second in as many nights. stretches their unbeaten

., streak to eight games. the longest

.of the current season. Six of the games ended in victories and the remainder in ties.

I All the scoring in last night's .game was confined to the first period. Early in the session the Islanders fired two counters before the Beavers counted for their only

0 . A beautiful passing play resulted in the third Islanders goal and ended scoring matters ;for the night.

Goalies Ray Frederick and Hal Gordon turned in outstanding performances. Frederick had 30 shots directed his way and stopped all but one. Gordon iticiitt. c... - drives.

At the end of the game he was walking around without trouble. This morning he will be X-Rayed to determine the extent of the injury which is thought to be a. bed bruise at the top of his hip bone, 0 O 0

Like a no-hitter in baseball no- body said much about it during the game. In fact it wasn't until the players were in the dressing room that the matter was discuss- ed. The announcement was made by record: keeper Jim Maccallum that the team had just played its first penalty-tree game in two years. Among the happiest to hear the announcement were Phil Vitale and Johnny Dutchak. two play- ers fairly well known among the time-keepers in various M. M. H. L. rinks. No doubt it was the team's answer to the boxing gloves which were sent to them by the Halifax fans.

Referees Pete Mill and I-iughle Glllis were also happy over the fact that they did not have to eat: a penalty during the contest. As far as it is known it was the first penalty-free contest played in the M. M. H. L. this season. Follow- ing tho game a fan called this of- fice to comment upon the excel- lent manner in which the two ref- erees officiated. Peta Mill handled

Prior to the scoring "Biicko' Trainer had several scoring op-

the Beavers team. Tralnor had the first three shots at Gordon and all were from close-in.

Forward "Hub" carried from the ice on a stretcher shortly after the game started In attempting to pick up Tralnor's rebound he slipped and crashed into the goal post. A superficial examination revealed that no bones were broken and that he had suf- fered a bad bruise.

Right winger Connie Bonhomme. playing his first game since he was injured on January l2. scored the Islanders second goal on a 20 foot wing shot. "Buclto" Trainor set. up the play with H P355 "W" just inside the blueline and Con- iiic caught the lower left hand cor- lIf'l' with his drive. Bruno Favern drew an assist on the play.

The Beavers also had their scor- ing opportunities. Matt Mesicli hit. the goal post with a screened shot from the blueilno and Frederick had to be brilliant to stop a she. iiom Ronnie Hurst.

Canuclts Take Stranglehold On Second Place

MONTREAL. March 13 -(CF) -Montreal Canadiens took a firmer grip on second place in the National lloekey League tonight. defeating Toronto Maple Leafs 3-l before a crowd of 14.476.

The win in the hard-fought rugged game gave Canadicns a five-point working margin over the third-place Lcats for the five games. left in the regular sched- ule.

Dick Gamble, Doug: llarvey and

Bernie (Bocm Boom) Geofirion scored for Canadians and Sid Smith for the Leafs. Gamble's goal came when Toronto was a man short.

The surprise goal was a. looping 95-footer by Harvey late in the second period. lie shot from his own side of the centre red line and the puck struck about 10 feet in front of the crease. bounced and sailed in.

The game produced plenty of close-checking and hard driving play. the Leafs turning loose one power play after anothcr in the final period.

Gerry McNeil in the Montreal nets played an outstanding game. In the second period he saved twice on point-blank shots by Ted Kennedy and Tod Sloan. and in the final period scrambled half up from the ice to block I-lowie Meeker's shot from a few feet out

Both clubs were weakened for the all-important game. Leafs were short defencemen Gus Mort- son and Fern Fiaman. and for- ward Jim Morrison had tospell off Jim Thomson. Bill Juzda and Hus:-ii Bolton.
