Hawks Hold 8t. Mary’s To Overtime Tiei

HALLHLY, Nov. ll) —(CP) — Mont-ton Hawks added another point to their Maritime Senior lloc- key League lead’ by holding ‘tali- fax St. Marys to a 5-5 overtime tie here ionlgiht before 2,810 fniis. The tie enabled Saiiiamarlans to take sole possession of third place, forcing Dartmouth Arrows into the basement.

Hawks made good use of their comparatively few scoring chances. They were widely outplayed in the firs‘. two periods but. goalie Al Tomari held them up with a spre- tacular display between the pipes.

Tomari stopped 40 shots as against 15 for Ernie Ycadon, subb- ing in the lialifax cage for Hugh- le MacDonald.

Prince of Wales College and Saint Dunstan! University will meet this afternoon in the fourth and final game for the Island in- termediate rugby title, with the game getting underway on the S D. U. gridiron at 3 p.m.

With ilie series tied up, both teams will be fighting for then lives iodny to make victory theirs and walk off with the lntermei late crown, but the task is not go- ing to be quite as simple as ii sounds. The two squads are so evenly matched, been playing such closely contested battles this season that they are going to have t0 draw on their full resources and take advantage of every break in the game in ordei

and have

to gain a winning edge on the plfl)’. In the event that the game

should end in a tle,.lt is undei- stood that the rules governing in~ icrmcdiate play will be followed which will call for two 10-minute overtime periods and if no scoring results during that time, the game will be continued until one teani scores.

Whatever the result of today's match will be. there is one thing you can be sure of, and that is that there will be plenty of iliriiis and spills before the winner is de- cided.
