They haw: seen their long lead cut to nine points, ihe lowest since the early weeks in the schedule when they were winning consistently. At that time the Saint John fans were not attending the gamcs because the Beavers were winning too oftan. Now the Bravcrs should have full

houses.

A lot can and does happen in this 9:) game .1i.M.1l.L. schedule. its difficult to think that the ef- fective. cool working Saint John hockey machine could lose its scoring punch in such a hurry. In their last four crimes the Beavers have not scored more than two goals in any one contest and the

names of Ubriuco and Tom Smclle are seldom found in the summaries of late. Possibly these

players have gone stale but more

likely they are coasting: along. saving themselves for the days ahead.

. o . The islanders left yesterday

morning about eleven olclock for Halifax by bus, They had planned to reach Halifax last night in order to be well rested for the meeting with the Sanlamarians this evening Tonight's name is a big one for the Islanders. A win and they will stretch their lead over the third place team or teams to seven points. It would also round out one of the islanders most successful wccks with seven points out of a possible eight. Next week the Saints and the Beavers play here in Tuesday and Friday night games. .

st. Duns!-.1n"s made their first start in Maritime Intercollegiate basketball an auspicious one last night when thcy trimmed St Thomas University from Chntham, 65-43. The game was fast through- out. with good passing plays and accurate shooting on the part of the Saints. The Tommies on the other hand were slightly off on their marksmanship.

Jackie Reardon played his greatest game of thc season in racking up 29 points. llcordon got away to Ii fast start in the sec- ond qunrter and after that was closely watched by them Tommics best guard Brian Sweeney. it was next to impossible to guard him. however. as his long sci. shots were clicking. The Tommles be- lieve they will be able to slop Reardon in their own gymnasium next week when the Saints play in Chalhaiu. Their ceiling is foo low to permit long. high shots and they think they can stop him from getting in close lo the bus- kc-I.

Reardon was not the whole show despite his brilliant play- ing. His icam-mates played lhcir

hearts out and fed him number- less piisscs. Once Pcfc Dunpliy. in ihe clear under the liaskct. ni- fomplcd to pass to Jackie ruihcr thun shoot himself. The nicest looking baskct of the game was scored by the smallest man on the team. Joc Mullally following I) smart passing play.

The Tommlcs were better than most basketball fans expected. They had a good passing attack which they developed from coach Frnscr Stewurl. They have one or two twenty point men on the team who were not shooting up to par: If they had been the out- come would have been ll lot closer. Next week-end when ihe Saints play in Chotham they will have a tough time winning. The

Action in the Prince Edward Is- land Basketball League will be resumed here this evening with the saints meeting the Welshmen in the P. W, C. auditorium.

It will be the second mceling between the two college teams this week. on Wednesday night the Saints were Victorious in their own gymnasium. Tonight's game will get underway at seven oi-

Shiirp shooting Jack Reardon and his cohorts from St. Dun- ston”s University raced through a St. Thomas University quintet for a 65-43 victory last night in the opening game of the N.B.-P.E.l. intercollegiate basketball series. The game was played in the S. D. U. Alumni-Gymnasium.

Reardon led the Saints to vic- lory in the fast. wide-open game by scoring 29 points with a ter- rific shooting display. 22 of his points were scored on field goals and the remaining seven on pen- alty shots.

The Saints outscored the visi- tors in every quarter. At the end of a slow first quarter they were ahead 5-4. At the half they were in front by a 24-19 count. They were leading 46-31,ot the three quarter mark and in the last ten minutes they outscored the Tom- mles by six points.

Irish Bob Mooney. the Saints bespectacled guard, came through with a neat second half shooting performance to score 14 points. Mooney was runner-up. to Reardon for scoring honors.

Set Blazing Pace

Willi the exception of the first quarter the players set a blazing mice. In the first quarter the Tommics used a zone defense and irailcd by only ii point. From

foul shots. Most of his baskets were high looping, two hand set shots which drew the applause of the fans and opposing players The third quarter was the best of the game for the saints. They outscored their opponents by 10 points with Reardon and Mooney scoring 14 points between meat Pete Dunphy. Joe Mullally, Cy Mcfsaac. Fred Coyle and Clarence MacDonald shot single baskets. .

Tommie: Fight Hard

The Tommies, without the ser- vice: of their fall guard Brian sweeny who fouled out in the last quarter, continued to fight back but it was no go. Mlooney showed the way (or the saints in the fourth quarter with three hook baskets. George Riley who scored seven points. was the biggest threat for the visitors in the last ten minutes.

The visitors, under the guidance of coach Fraser Stewart showed a good passing game and probably had as many scoring opportunities as the Saints. Thcir shooting however, was not to par with that of the winners.

Earl Nicholson and Joe Cullen rereieed the game and handled

the contest in a capable manner.

lhen on both leams played wide open wilh the Saints taking bet- ter advantage of their scoring op- portunilies.

Jake Stephens was the Tommies most effective forward. Jake shot six baskets and scored on a pen- ally shot to accumulate a total of 13 points. .l. McMullen had eight points, Ted Stephens and George Riley seven each.

McMullen opened the scoring when he made good on a foul shot to put the Tommies one up and ii proved to be the first. of two oc- casions that the Tommies led in the game. Pistol Pete Dunphy opened the scoring for the Saints with a short shot into the basket. The Tommies failed to score a basket until the eight minute mark of the first quarter.

The second quarter was all Reardon. Long John scored 13 points on five baskets and three
