Islanders E Score 3-2-”V-ictory Saturday Night; Millanf Outstanding GLACE BAY, N. 5.. (OP) - Goalie Al Millar held off a last- period rush Saturday as Charlotte- town Islanders edged Glace Bay Miners 3-2 to knot their Maritime Major Hockey League best-of-nine semi-final at two games each. The fifth game will be played in Charlottetown tonight. Millar's play was the big factor in the Charlottetown victory as the Miners swarmed all over the Is- landers end during the last 15 min- utes. Erwin Grease, left winger on the line with Hub Beaudry and Bob Graj'. fired the game-winning goal at, I236 of the final period. Buck Whiiiock and Gray scored the oth- rr goals for the Islanders. . For the Miners. Bill Mocracken ilrhot. both rallies in the third per- ml. The Islanders didn't dress Gary Gordon while the Miners rested Don Keller and Eddie .1055. An indication of the power of: the Miners' attack is provided in the stops during the first period. 1,-ockhart ,betiwecn the pipes for Glace Bay, was tested eight times itlnle Millar kicked aside 16. Grosses winning goal came on a play started by Bob Gray in the centre ice zone when he hooked a loose puck and went down the right boards while Hinchiberger and Bill Bureaga attempted to skate him off. Beaudry caught Gray's pass and pushed it ahead where it was picked up by Grosse who crossed in front of the Min- rrs' net before sending I. hard drive into the right corner. Lock- liart was down when Grosse's drive .l.7.7.led 'lllldCI' his legs. Wide Open Hot-key Wide open hockey featured the name. but despite the hot pace maintained for the full 60 min- utes only four penalties were call- cd, all of them to the Islanders. Larry Travis, who played a stand- out game, was chased midway through the first for elbowing and a half minute later Gustavson. hiirly Charlottetown defenceman JOlli6d him in the penalty box. Hub Marcy rushed his star line of Bill Mccracken, Kenny Watson and Gordie Miller on for the face- nrr which took place to the left of Millar. The Miners had been .-warming all over the Charlotte- town team up to this point and things looked had for Mlurph Cliamberlain and his visitors when Millar was left with only three mates on the ice for upwards of 90 seconds. But. it was during this time that the big Charlottetown goalie rose to his greatest heights. He was tested time after time by the hard skating Glace Bay forwards, but he successfully defended his goals iintil Travis and Gustaveson left the iimt-rs. , Buck Whiiiock put the visitors on the score hoard late in the first period when" he caught a pass from Walt Pawlyshyri and flipped the puck past Lockhart. Bill Bur- oga attempted to pass the puck out of the Glace Bay end, but it was intercepted by Pawlyohyn at the blue line and fired back in. Whitlock rushed from the corner and flipped the puck into the Min- ors' cage before Lockhart could move. The Miners continued the pres- sure in the second Pb:-iod and once again the Islanders drew the only penalty. Marcel Clements was waved off at 5:32. but Charlotte- town held off repeated thrusts by the Miners until the team return- ed to strength. . Bob (Gray, who was among the stars of the contest. added the second marker for the Islanders late in the second frame. Lock- hari. was screened on the play when Gray slapped at the puck which Bill Burega was trying to clear. The shot went between Lockhart's legs. With the Miners trailing by two goals the 4117 fans. a season's record. weren't too hamlv. but the home team was still full of fight. Grosses winning goal came at 1:30 of the third period and a minute later Ronnie Hurst was chased to the timers. Raises Miners' Hapeu It was Bill Mccracken who rais- ed the hopes of the Miners fans late in the third and for a few minutes it looked as though the Miners determination might bring victory to the home team. The Islanders didn't let up and the visitors were still pressing Lock- bros, Gig Cleaners.

The pressure was re- lieved momentarily when the puck was driven into the visitors' ter- ritory and in a scramble it was knocked into the crowd. From the face-off in Millar's corner Kenny Watson got a pass away to Mocracken and the flashy Glace Bay centre blinked thellght behind Millar for the first time. Mocracken beat Millar again less than a minute later and this sent Glace Bay hopes soaring. Don Lockhart was called from his net in favor of an extra forward when a face-off took place in the Char- lottetown end. but when the puck was cleared Macey sent his goalie back. In the final minute another face-off was called in the Island- ersi end and once more Lockhart was pulled. The Glace Bay goalie was at the bench when the con- test ended.

Jack Turner's, Prince Street School girls won the Girls' Island Inter- scholastic title and the W.W. Well- ner trophy, emblematic of same, when they held the fast, aggressive Georgetown High team to a score- less tie after defeating them Friday at Georgetown by a score of 2-0. Both games were hard, closely-con- tested battles but the City girls had enough edge in the home-and- home series to hold the lead they built up in Georgetown and win the round 2-0. . Following are the line-ups: P. S. S. - Goal, Harper;,dei'ence, Wran, Dennis, Ma,cPherson; for- wards, Carver, Sheppard, MacDoug- ali,I Whitlock, shelfoon, MacCan- nel .

That win put the Islanders back in the driv- best of five affair with three games here. The Islanders. whose stocks were falling after their double loss to the Bay. will once again be fav- ored to take the series. A win on lot in the play-offs. were riding high after their win reversed affairs. Tonight's game will be an all-out effort between the two teams and whichever team wins will be tough to handle from here on it. C O O From all reports the Islanders were a vastly improved Club in winning Saturday night's game. The boys were skating hard both ways and showed the fight and zip which earmarked their play throughout most of the season. The Whitlock, Gray, Pawlshyn line came up with two big goals and as we remarked Saturday when they produce the Islanders win. Al Mil- lar played another standout game in this series. . 0 . The loss of Eddy .1055 is a tough blow for the Miners. Joss had play- ed great hockey during the closing vveeks of the schedule and was go- ing well before he was injured last Thursday night. The Islanders players claim that the Gustaveson check which sidelined Joss with a knee injury was a hip check and that Gus did not deserve the pen- alty. We can't comment because we didn't see it but we do regret the injury to the smart little Glace Bay pivot-man. . 0 e For the third time the C.A.I-I.A. is being asked to clear up the play- ing status of fast skating Grosse who showed fine form in Glace Bay on Saturday. Naturally the Miners are the main ones pressing the case but they also claim to l.ave the backing of the Sydney and Halifax clubs. It is not likely that the C.A.H.A. will change its decision regarding the eligibility of the former Quebec Leaguer. The Secretary-Manager, George Dudley approved of the player joining the Islarfders from the beginning while the C.A.H.A. executive also ap- proved of the player in a later vote. As far as can be ascertained there is little difference in the pre- sent protest by the Miners than the protest made by the Cape Breton Clubs wvo weeks ago. . . . The Saint Dunstan's University basketball team will be closely watched during the next week as they make their first jou.rney into intermediate circles. They will very likely meet St. F. X. in their first round and according to reports last night the Xaverians will have es- sentially the same team as that which narrowly beat out St. Dun- stan's for the Maritime Intercol- leglate title last week. The tal- ented Lorne Whelan has not been practising with the St. F. X. and will hardly be used by them in the play-offs. 0 C O The Saints' showing at Antigon- ish last Wednesday night, great though it was under normal con- ditlons. becomes the more impres- sive when it is considered that they played without the services of two men while two others played with injuries. Jack Reardon play- ed with a bad ankle aftei' injuring it early in the game. His ankle is still swollen but securely taped and lteardon may try to practise with it today or tomorrow. Pete Dun- phy missed the game completely while Clarence MacDonald was usedt very little due to attacks of the 'flu. In addition Cy Maclsaac played with it bruised hip and had the injury aggravated during the game. 0 0 0 During it hotly contested play- off series such as the one now in progress between the Islanders and the Miners it's not the healthiest thing in the world to cheer for the opposing team amongst the home town fans. A former Charlottetown man. now working in Glace Bay. proceeded to give the Islanders loud vocal support on Saturday night and the result was that he left the rink with an impaired mouth and jaw. The attacker was it sturdy Miner who will be taken into court on an assault charge. 0 I Montreal's Rocket Richard per- formed A task last night which must have pleased the heart of the Rocket and his followers. Coach Dick Irvin assigned to him the task of shadowing Detroit's Gordie Howe .ho eded only one goal to tie the Rockets all-time scoring record of 50 goals in in season. In then final meks the team that stopped Howe more than the Canadrlens and Richard was the Chicago Black Hawks. Three times in a little more than a week the Hawks met the Wings and kept Howe oi! the scoring sheet. a . ers seat and cuts the series to a i the opposing team's ice means a i The Miners here but now the Islanders hzivci and Miller certainly has been a star!

NEW YORK, (AP) - Chicago Black Hawks gained a Stanley Cup playoff berth Sunday night by defeating the last-place New York Rangers 3-1 in the season's final National Hockey League game in Madison Square Garden.

The score was tied 1-1 when Gee took a pass from Bill Mosienko and sent it whistling into the New York cage. With goalie Lorne Worslcy re- moved from the game with a min- uie to go, Gerry Couture fired into an open net at 19:37. Leo Fogolin and Vic Lynn received assists.

N0 BROADCAST? v Sir,-In a hockey ad in Satur- day's issue in bold type was "No Broadcast of Game". Surely the management did not take into consideration the many fans who have contributed from time to time to The Isianders' cause, he- sldes supporting them at the games. but for various reasons might be unable to attend all the playoff games. Some of the reasons might be-finances, ill- ness at: home, hospital and San- aturium patients, absent from City on business, etc. Has it taken into consideration the hundreds of country fans who have at- tended ihe games all winter and now find it impossible to drive their cars over the Island "port- ages" which are in desperate shape and near impassable? Has the management take into consid- eration that Glace Bay allows the games to be broadcast to Is- land fans and is denying them the democratic privilege of having the Islanders-Glace Bay game or games sent to them via the air waves? Does it take into consid- eration that ihere are enough loyal fans right here in Char- lottetown to fill the local Forum to twice it's capacity? Does it realize that Glace Bay is it Town not a City and they are not afraid of attendance being hurt a. mere handful perhaps- Does it not realize that goodwill spells prosperity and success, and that certain, yes many, people who are not regular customers would, by listening to a broadcast, go to the future games?
