Since the event was inaugurated a few years ago it has never tail- ed to produce the best of com- petition in the skating races and the hockey match with u mainland team always being brought in "lus cllmaxed the eyening": program. a o

Tonight the fans will see none other than the Dalhousie Tigers in action and the Prince ofwales stu- dent body along with many hockey fans are wondering just how the Welshmen will stock up against the Nova Scotin crew that ls head- cd by playing-coach Tom "Windy" O'Neill. former member the Toronto Maple Leafs.‘ I

But O'Neil is just another name to the Welshmen. They have thelr minds set on winning tonight's encounter even though there is no importance attached to it and have been working out daily so as to be in the best possible condition hr the tussle. . _

The game alc-ne should be veil worth the price of admission. Tig- ers have clawed their way to vic- tories already this season and are reputed to play a wide-open. rus- ged brand of game This will f.t in with the Weluhmcnb" plans.

Sum-mersi-de fans are all 820E over the coming series. The Jack Schurman-coached entry has been rolling up victory after victory over Prince County teams in their march to the County title and their followers feel that the team will be able to add the Island title to their string of victories and from there go on into the Maritime playdpwpa.‘

Bill Boyle's Juvenile Kinsmen certainly stamped themselves as distinct threats (o the Summer- side Klnsmen's juvenile title at summerslde Wednesday night when they held the defending champ- ions to a. 2-1 score in the first game of their two game series for the Island crown.‘

Now with a game on home ice coming up and with only one goal to overcome the youngsters are confident they will be able to take the measure of their opponents and advance along the playoff trail. But although the margin is only a slight one it may be a very very tough one'to‘overcome.

Canadians And Rcd Wings In Due-ail Draw

MONTREAL, March 6 —- (OP) — Montreal Canadians and Detroit Red Wings fought to a 1-1 No- tional I-Imkcv League draw io- night that allowed the Wings to pull within a point of New York Rangers in the fight for the fourth and last playoff spot.

With tacit team having played 53 cf its 60 scheduled games, the Rangers have 46 points while the Wings. unbeaten in seven games. have 4'7 points. Tonight's counter left the Wings with a record of four victories and lhreg ties with- out any defeats marring that spell and still left them as one cf (he "hottest" teams in the circuit.

Although cutshot through the game. the Wings were always a vic- tory threat as a result of Harry Lumleys fine goal tending and a second period goal marked up by Sid Abel while defenceman Ken Rear- don cf Canadians was off for hook- ing. Abel's goal came at 14:02. just about 30 seconds before Reardon was due back on the ice.

It wasn't until the fifth minute "of the third period that Canadians. a virtual cinch to finish uo the standing in first place although they still haven't made certain of the top spot mathematically, were able to tie the score. Billy Reay tzot the game-knoltlng tally on a play where Emllg “Butclw flouchard drew an assist.

Actually. it was difficult to per- ceive from the sidelines whether Abel had actually "scored" the De- troit tally. Roy Conacher slammed a hard shot at the Montreal goal from a bit inside the blue line and the puck seemed either to hit Abel's body or glance in off his stick. 1t didn't seem like an inten- tional play on Abel's pert but he received credit for the goal.
