The Islanders jumped into a 2-0 lead in the first period on the strength of goals by "Bucko" T;-ulnar and Willie Marshall. The second period was scoreless and Jim Mncxerizie shot the lone goal of the final stanza. Frcdericks kicked out 20 shots in racking up his second shut- out. one of them a hreaidway drive by Elliot "Specs" Chorley with five minutes left in the game. Elliot intercepted a pass at the Glace Bay blueline to break into the clear but his dead-on drive was blocked.

A late wire story confirms the fact. that the Hawks did not report to Halifax for their! game against the saints last night because the players had not. been paid. this week. In changing the ownership of the club to a citizen- ship committee some snag has ob- viously been struck which will not allow things to work out as smoothly as had been hoped after Tuesday night's meeting. . . . reason the public of Moncton has not supported the Hawks this season although the Hawks have been in the running since the league opened. Tuesday night. with the game billed as ”The last home stand" of the team only 1,090 customers witnessed the game in Moncton with Halifax. Such a small turnout from a City with the population of Moncton and the comparatively low prices which the Moncton Stadium char- ges for admiaion indicates that the people don't want to see "Big Six" hockey, have not the money to pay for it, or have some dislike for the management. of the club. 0 C 0 Possibly the Christmas drain on the pocinetbook kept quite a num- ber of people home but if such were the case the Hawks should not. have been plagued with turn- stiic trouble all year. It is unfair people don't want Big Six hockey be- cause Moncton has supported sen- ior hockey teams for years and the fans in Moncton as anywhere else see good iiockey. Besides that it was reported that money for the "citizenship committee” was pouring in from the people so they obviously wish to keep their team. For some one Whatever the reason behind their misfortunes ii. is hoped that Moncton will be able to remain in the league. The Hawks have the most favorable geographical loca- tion of any of the Big Six clubs and are right beside an airport if they desire to use air travel. if the Hawks dropped out the league would still continuct but some of the spice of the present league would be lost and besides a Mari- time Major League would not. look quite right. without it Moncton entry. ning Saint John Beavers who were idle last night.

"Bucko" moved over to the irighi. of the net wheeled around ianother defender and let go a 120 footer that caught the far side of the cage. It was a picture goal and one that brought down the biggest applause of the season. A little over five minutes later Willie Marshall made it 2-0 as he batted in Don Beliringer's rebound. Johnny Dutchak started the play at the Glace Bay blue- line. He sidestcpped two defend- ers and fired ii pass in front of the net. Bellringer hit the post and Marshall knocked the disc beneath Arneii. That ended the scoring for the period but. there was plenty of other activity. The opening whistle had not been blown until Bell- lringer dumped Haley and for the next 20 minutes there was rough- ing and. dumping galore. Minor Skirmish The worst outbreak came at the 9.15 mark when Phil Vitale. Paw- lyshyn and Windiey drew minors for their part; in a roughing jam- lioree. Vitalc drew two minors. one for charging and one for irougiiing. The skirmish took place tin front of the Glace Bay not and ibefore it. was finished 10 Glace iBBy players were on the ice. i The second period was scoreless Ibut it. contained the best hockey of the game as both teams opened up. The Islanders were two men short at the start of the session and the Miners one. The work of George Mcbagan in keeping the Miners at bay was outstanding. Conny Bonhomme had the best scoring opportunities in the per- iod as he broke in on Arneil twice but both times he missed the net. Trainer and W-hii.lock also came close to scoring but could not get by Arnell, . Len Haley and coach "Bud" Poiie made goodtries in the open- ing minutes of the last. session but Frederick: was unbeatable.
