to tie up the score on the heavily favored HHllQOHlBP ‘team. o

Both squads missed chances gs- lore with probably the Canadians being the greatest offenders, but here again the visitors had a. de- rided advantage, dlsplayin deadly sniping ability the ma ority of times they skated into close quart- Irs giving the young Canadien goalie. who turned in a good game, not a ghost of mcnance.

But tonight is another night and another game and as we stated above the Canadiens. realizing their chances are slim of overtak- ing the visitors, are nevertheless determined to go down trying. They didn't get too many of the breaks in the opening encounter and they feel that if any should happen to come their way tonight that these. together with the pres- intend to exert, might yet rnake things mighty iinl-‘Om- fortable before the St. Marys team can lay claim to the title.

It's funny, but nevertheless a fact. that local fans just do not seem to take much interest in the games of the juveniles. Not onlv this year but other seasons as well has this held true, and Wednesday night it was nn. exception. wit only what might be termed a "handful" in attendance.

c

we are not going to try to even hazard a guess at the reason for this state of aflairs. but in this writer's opinion it is giving very little encouragement to the young- sters who after l some day will be providing toe senior hockey en- tcrtainment. and it probably will be at a time when entirely local talent will have to be depended upon. _ _ _

Certainly Wednesday night's gamc produced a brand of hockey that warranted a much larger at- tendance. The juveniles skated at a fast clip throughout, with many fine plays being pulled off and enough exciting moments to gull those in attendance right off t eir seats. Of course there are always a few ready to climb on ‘knockers’ roost", but in the main the two teams. despite the high scoring put on a great game.‘

'. It is a well known fact that a team with home fans encouraging them with their support have often been known to rise to the heights no" perform the seemingly impos- sible. And it ever a team needed support in what now looks like a

At 3.12 of the period the locals broke into the scoring when Nic- olle flred Walker's short ass be- hind Gilbert. Three minu es later the visitors counteracted the score as Mair took Barlovfs goalmouth pass to score ’caslly.

For the next 10 minutes it was a scoreless deadlock. but a penalty to Mair started a two-goal scoring outburst by the All Stars. Send- ing four men to the attack, Miller carried over the line and passed to Nicolle, the latterfls relay to the edge of the crease giving Jack- son hls chance to pound it into the twincs.

Twenty-five seconds later Nic- olle was back for his second goal: Jackson. unable to get his shot a- way from 10 feet out. managed to slip the disc to Nicolle and Nick again beat the cool Cornwallis net-minder for the filial score of the session with Miller also draw- ing an aslst on the play.

TORDNTD. April 5 -- (C-P) — Toronto Maple Leafs today were given a 50-50 chance by coach Clarence (Hop) Day to win their eight-point series with Detroit Red Wings for the Stanley Cup. emblematic of the professional hoc- key championship of the world.

Day's prediction came before the Leafs left for Detroit where they open the series tomorrow night. The Leafs. who finished in third place in the league standings. won their way into the final by defeat-I ing the Montreal Canadiens. league champions. four games to two. The second-place Detroit team eliminated the fourth-place Bos- ton Bruins four games to three.

The Toronto coach professed to have little worry about his team's showing in its .10 scheduled games with Jack Adams Red Wings over the season. The Wings won eight games and e210 Leafs one, the oth-

er ti .

"On the basis of the season's showing. the Wings should be l0 to one favorites to knock us off," said Day. “I ho they are.

“My feel g is that it's going to be a tough series and that we have s 50-50 chance to win. The only games we lost against Can- adians were when we let up. we can keep bearing down we'll do alright."

Day had no comment to offer on what players he will use in the series but it seems obvious he will rely mainly on the 11 men who bore the brunt of the burden against the Canadians —- Goalie Frank McCool; defencemcn Walter
