March 1&- (CP)-Broks and in last place, Moncton Hawks tonight withdrew from the Maritime Major Hockey League. W. F. Lane, president of the community-owned club, made the announcement following a meet- ing between players and manage- ment. Judge .1. Elliott Hudson announ- ced at Halifax that Sydncy Mill- ionaires will get two points, Saint John Beavers four and Halifax St. Mary's six points as a result of the withdrawal. "it was agreed at the league meeting last Sunday," he said, "that if any clubs withdrew be- fore March 22, all remaining games in which the club were scheduled to play would be for- feited to the opposing clubs. Mr. Lane said the club was without funds to continue and. in view of the "'- , ' " of the team making the playoffs. it was decided to go out of b ' It was believed that some of the players will be signed by the other five clubs. Hawks were edged into the cellar Friday by Sydney. The final blow, and a big factor in the club's decision to quit, was being delayed at the Strait of Canso for nine .hours. Saturday thereby postponing a home game with Saint John.

CHARLOTTETOWN MARCH 17, 1952 The Islanders probably set an all-time record during the past eleven days for any hockey team anywhere, stated Club President Dr. F.C. Dougan last night. In that time they played ten games. won seven, tied two and lost one. They came from five points behind the Halifax Saints to go ahead of them by nine. Highlights of the drive were the two Islanders wins over the saints. On the first one here last Monday night they tool: over second place and on Satur- day night they clinched the run- ner-up position. 0 D 0 During that stretch the Island- ers played their best hockey of the season. All iorward lines were clicking and all three had their bio scoring nights. The defense was putting up a stout opposition and Ray Frederick was giving the best lroaltending display of the season. The team scored 52 goals while holding the opposition to half that number and during the drive two injured players Connin )Bonhommc and Don Bcllrlngcr were able to return to action. I O 0 Possibly the swcetest victory of them all was the 4-1 win over the Saints on Saturday night. The more than 5.000 fans who crowded into the Halifax Forum had .i right to expect a Halifax win. The Islanders had not won on Halifax ice since midway in the season They had just played nine games in ten days and must have been leg weary while the Saints had been resting since Wednesday But. as in the past when the chips are down and the going is the hardest. the Islanders came up with one of their best dlsnlriys. I O O The Saints, knowizivz that the Is- landers were tired. commenced to rough up the local team in the first period. The strategy was a. good one and on another team under similar circumstances it might have worked. But not with Vitale. Dut- chak. Trainer and Co. By the end of the second period it was the Saints who were tiring and the Is- landers went on to win in the third . . . Johnny Horrck and his Moncion Hawks, who have been on the verge of collapsing: many time". this season, finally called it. quits last night. Since as far back as Christ- mas the Hawks have been threat- cnintz to quit. One nlvzht in thi- Hawks' dressing room following a name with the Islanders we heard the players discussing their future ulans in terms of clubs in other leagues. Howey:-r, with a new org- anization end the bones of making the play-offs, the Hawks continued. 0 O 0 Although the Hawks are far in the red we miaht wonder why they chose to call it cults with only a week left in the schedule. Bv withdrawinw from the league they automatically lose the si.00f) which they posted last slimmer before thr- lcacue got underway along with their hock:-,v franchise. They had three home games left. one against each of Saint John. Sydney and Halifax and presumably could have made enough to take care of the major portion of the players sal- arles. O O 0 The Hawks players are now free agents. can sign with any club for next season's play. Among those who will be sought are Morrey Hamilton. Denis Filion, George Scholes, Tom Hockey and Don Lockhart. A news report intimates that the players may be signed for action this season but we doubt very much if they would be elig- ible to play with another team. . . . A team, who will gain some bene- fit by the Hawks misfortune is the Sydney Millionaires. By gain- ing those two unearned points from the Hawks. the Mills move within three points of the Glace spot. The Millionaires and Miners meet. rridsy night the in a team will be -taking over fourth place. Between, now and then, the Islanders play the twice in critically important games to the Sydney team. with the memwy of last season's play-off games still haunting than. the Islanders will not wish to make it any easier for the Millionaires. OCEAN DOTS Of the 3.000 islets included in the Bahamas gnoup. only about 20 are permanently settled. to Bay Miners and the last play-off game that could well decide which Millionaires M HALIFAX, March 16 -- (CP)- Charlottctown Islanders, display- ing a finesse about the goals that their opponents lacked, de- feated Halifax St. Mary's 4-1 nere Saturday in a Maritime Major Hockey League game. It was a close tilt despite the score. The teams played on even terms except for a 2 U2 minute lapse in the third when Islanders rifled in three goals. It was the sixth win in seven starts for Charlottetown. The victory did not affect the standings. Charlottetown cannot be budgcd from her second place position; mathematically; and Halifax is five points ahead of fourth-place Glace Bay Miners. Buck Whitlock scored two goals for Islanders and Jim Mac- Kenzie and Red Favero tallied with singles. Bill Ford scored for Halifax. Whitlock opened the scoring within 11 seconds of the first per- led. And Halifax scored the only goal in the second period. Red Favcro served a two-mln- uic penalty against Charlottetown for delaying the game. following a penalty against Trainer for lay- ing on the puck. In the third, John Dutchak and Mat-Kenzie set" up Fnvero for a goal at 7:46. Mackenzic rifled one in 10 seconds later. Whiilock's second from outside the blueline. The shot didn't leave the ice and trickled between goalie Strach:-m's skates. A Halifax goal was disallowed when referee Mathieu said dc- fcnccman Hosking was in the goal crease. It was an unpopular de- clsion. Lineups: - . Charlottetown: Goal, Frederick: defence. Travis. Dutchak, Vitale, McLagan. Gray: forwards. Tralnor, Fayero, Marshall, Bellringer.

"Buck" Whitlock, product of Charlottetown junior hockey in its flourishing days, naturally has a. great following in his home town, and a few fellow towns- men who rate his hockey-ability rather low. Using Al Smith's jovial and challenging invitation. let us look at the record-not for last year. when he led the league scorers. or the year before, but for this year. Counting last night, when he tossed two goals and an assist into the kitty as his share in the 4-1 victory over Halifax. Whitlock looms up as one of the league's contenders for first place scoring honors, and a very serious threat to St. John's Ubriaco, presently leading the race. Just how did "Buck" get up there with the boy who decide whether a team wins or loses? By being pampered and catered to? Not by any stretch of the imagin- ation. 1-ie climbed into his top- flight. position the hard way. For weeks at a time he centred a makeshift line hardly knowing from week to week. what pair of players would flank him from day to day. Now and again he had the same wingmen for a few games. but just as the trio com- menced to work out pattern plays. injuries forced the revamping of forward lines, and "Buck" found himself with new playing part- ners. Throughout his career the Charlottetown boy's effectiveness has been dependent on his play- making, plus the quick thinking co-operation of alert wingmcn. Whitlock has the gift of split- second timing. the hockey brains to see a goal-scoring play, long spectators get the drift of things. His old lincmate "Bucko Trai- nor" puts it this way: ”Whitlock is about three plays ahead of most of us all the time.” It can be imagined then what. a handicap a. precision player like Whitlock has been under all win- ter. with little chance to build a line around him suitable to his brainy psiX1CiDiES of- attack. It is a tribute to his individual ef- ficiency as a player that he couldn't be kept out of the scor- ing race. "Too slow" say some of the fans. It is true that lots of players in the league move their legs faster. but it is open to ques- tion whether their minds operate with equal speed. Not all the lads who tear around like a hen with its head off beat a goal ton- der. or set up scoring chances as often as "Buck" Whitlock. His only rival as a playmaker is the much slower skating Bud Poile, who likewise uses his head to save the trouble of flashy but un- productive skating. "He won't back-skate". complain some fans. It will be noticed. however. that he is quite a fore-checker. and while he lingers in front of a rival goal. is a very dangerous customer. This was never more apparent than in Saturday night's game against St. Mary's, when he trapped the puck carrier inside the Halifax blue- line and had the red light on in one inspired lightning swoop. Mediocre players are not capable of sensing and capitalizing on op- portunities of this kind. Whitlock is panned for another so-called fault-he does little brawiing in the comers for the puck. But surely there are enough players in the league who wrestle and maul inconclusively in the comers, without having one of the league's most accomplished snipers spend much time there. 0 There's one other place he spends little time-and that's in the penalty box. Seldom does he take a senseless, useless penalty and leave five men to carry the load meant for six. What do his team-mates think of him? All of them. including Bucks Trainer. would like to play the Whitlock line. which is al- wayl a partnership. in which many goals and amists are shared. letting.

It's a desperation game It the Forum tonight for Sydney. the club which made it so tough for Char- lottetown in the Maritime playoffs last year. They must. win or face elimination from the playoffs. From the Islanders standpoint its a chance to even up the disappoint- ment of last year. and an opport- unity for Wee Willie Marshall and Buck Whitlock to climb I little closer to the top spot in the league scoring race. Charlottetown will definitely go after the game, all the more so. since Sydney has been protesting games won by Charlottetown a few weeks ago with Paul Salndon in an Islanders uniform. Saindon was later declared ineligible. The Islanders likewise want goals and assists to fatten their in- dividual records.'and are not in the mood to give anything away to IDYODC.) Certainly Whitlock and Marshall will go after the points which may enable them to overhaul the St. John scoring ac; Ubriaco. Much more rides on the game therefore, than a spot in the league playoffs. Folks remember that Syd- ney put the Islanders on the side- lines last year and are hoping that they can return the compliment at- tha Forum tonight. . Defeat for Sydney tonight would ust about end their chance for a spot in the league playoffs. It will be the Isiandero eleventh game in thlrtoen nights. Morcurys In Britain En liolito Home IDNDON.
