Menmmin. the race in which 1L- Browifs more met with the unfortunate accident recalls that in those days mile heats were ire- queiitly ‘raced on ice. In fact in the long ago mile heats were the rule. not the exception. and the oontraptions used were light sleigh runners with a box affair to_sit on. Then as d increased and the time made came a more im- portant factor, the distance was shortened to half mile heats and some spectacular racing resulted.

I O U

And to say it was a pleasant surprise would be putting it mild- 1y. The winners showed unexpected s-rength and richly deserved their victory. Once they really fiat "hot" the visitors could do lit about it and in thelast period the win- ners had it pretty much their own way.

I O O

But there wasn't probably ten percent of the people at the game who would have given a pl gged

u nickel for the local team's dian- ,5_1 “on

ces in the first few minutes oi the game. Maroons hadno trouble in running in three goals and the

outlook was dark to say the least. a “momma, an“ ' ' ' ' ‘ LLemontagne, 5.9.11.

But Levi's goal in the fag-end oi the first session seemed to set cif the spark that the Abbies need- ed to get them moving, In the last two periods they did not appear to be tho same team at all and fin-

ally their smooth passing plays qhdmm-m 1M _

and stout defensive work gave them the upper hand and they nev- er relinquished it.

U O O

The locals are now in the driv-

er's seat and their four goal lead stewflft. li-lil/I-il-A

should be sufficient to carry them into the next round. But, and

is a. word of warning, these Mono- tcnlans are plenty dangerous yet. Heavy. fast and coached by one cf tho Maritimes former‘ great hock- cyists "Dud" James they will be full of fight. for the next and final game and Abbies had better not be too confident or it is Just possible that they might wind up behind the “eight-be! ."

Coach Johnny Squarebriggs was tickled "pink" at t-he outcome oi the game. Asked if the result was a surprise "Snag" stated quite frankly that it was and in t same breath paid tribute to the members of the team for the show- ing they had made. Johnny was more than pleased with the per- formance turned in by his “kld" line oi Whitlcck, Blanchard and McDonald and the coach's senti- menta were re-echoed by the other members of the team.

And the youngsters did put. on a - brilliant displa . In the final an- alysis 1., was t is trio that can-led the mail last night and if the

News of the injury to Gordie Drillon was received here yester- day with genuine rsgret by many followers not only in this

rov nce but throughout engtli and breadth of th times as well. sport followers will be hoping that the injury is not as serious as it is thought and that the bi r ht winger will be back in ac on n the Inear future.

I I I

The injury to Drillon comes Just when the Canadians are in need of all the talent they possess. Batt- lin grimly to get into s. playoff 5p and very nearly out of the woods, the injury to the Maritime star may well mean the difference between the Canadiena being in there or looking on from the out- side once the search for the Stan- ley Cup begins.‘ .

Drillon this ear hasn't been re- ceivin the acc aim oi former years when a was e. member oi the To- ronto Maple leafs but neverthe- less he has beenoneyt the Can- udfs most |Nl a and has come through with timeb goals on more than one occasion.
