Nova Scotia Rink At Top Of List After 4th Round Of Big iSpiel By W. I. Wheatley HALIFAX. March 7 -,-(OP)- Nova Scotia's curlers from Kent- ville, already the sensation of the Canadian curling championship. gave Northern Ontario a 9-5 lac- ing in the fourth round today and maintained their undefeated march toward the title. If Don Oyler's hopefuls can keep up their pace they will bring back the trophy Nova Scotls last saw in 1927. the first year of the big bonsplel. But there were still seven tough rounds to go, two of them in af- ternoon and evening play tomor- row. and the Western entries from Manitoba and British Columbia were the llkellest rinks to over- haul the sensational Maritimers. Manitoba's. strathcona Club curlers from Winnipeg, skipped by Roy Forsyth. kept pace with 0yler's quartet. They defeated Alf Chesser's British Columbia boys from Trail. by a. surprisingly wide margin of 15-9. to take over sec- ond lace without a defeat and still a game, because of yes- terday's bye. to catch up. British Columbia dropped into the next Spot with Saskatchewan. losers in the opening round but with a winning spurt of three straight games. . The setback for Chesser was his !irst of the spiel. A 13-5 decision over Prince Edward island this morning shot the British Colum- bians into a tie with Nova scotia but they faltercd in the early ends against lvinnitoba and were defeat- ed by the surprisingly wide margin of 15-9. Johnny Franklin's Saskatchewan rink from Rosetown took a 10-4 decision from Quebec in the morning play but needed a clean- :-ut three end in the 12th to de- feat Prince Edward Island in the afternoon. Northern Ontario, represented by Wally .lohnstone's Copper Cliff rink, stirred up a lot of speculat- ion with a five end in the extra- end 13th to defeat New Bruns- wick l5-l0 in the morning. Then Nova scotia. with an easy 16-8 win over Alberta. in the early play. took over and Johnstone's boys could get only a single point in any end, losing 9-5. It was Nova scotia's steady play. repeated through every round. that carried Oyler's rink through. Arn Boyd. playing last rock for Northern Ontario, missed on a. great effort in the eighth and and Nova Scotls. was left with a four count. That proved to be the timing point. Oyler's rink, playing every shot carefully with an eye on the scoreboard. surrendered single aoints in the 10th and 11th ends ind the two rinks finished with a dead end 12th. - , Bowling 2 I.adles' Wednesday Afternoon Bowling Team 3-5 points.

Easi Royalty And Crystals Play Tonight The winner of the Prince Ed- ward Island Intermediate "A" hockey crown will be decided to- night at North River Rink as the East Royalty Royals and the Sum- merside Crystals meet in the sec- ond game of their home and home series. The Royals will carry a three goal lead into the game as the result of a 9-6 win over the black olad pucksters from the Western Capital in the opening game Tuesday night. Noted for their upsets in play- off hockey. the Crystal: will once again attempt to wipe out a def- icit and retain the crown that has been theirs for several seasons. After an in and out showing in the Eastern Prince Leasue schedule, the Crystals came to life in the play-offs to defeat the R. C. A. F. and Borden in straight games. With a combination of- ex- perlenced players and youthful aggressiveness they present a formidalble lineup. East Royalty are riding the crest of an eleven game winning streak and so far this season have been undefeated in inter- mediate play. An indication of their scoring power was learned yesterday from a team official who stated that in the eleven games played the Roy- als had scored 98 goals. an river- agc of almost nine a game. Defensively their record was nearly as impressive with only 32 goals being shot by their net custodian I-Yank Roper. Tonight's game should be a natural with fans being assured of plenty of action as the West in- vades the east for the hockey title. Canadian curling championship At Winnipeg in 1952 HALIFAX. March 7-(CP)-The Canadian curling championship will be held next year in Winnipeg and in 1953 at Sudbury, Ont. The governors of the Mscdonald Brier made the decision today, departing from their normal pro- cedure of setting the venue only one year in advance. There were pressing invitations from both cities. Mayor Bill Beeton of sudbury put up a strong argu- ment and Northern Ontario got the 1953 nod. It will be the first time the championship" has none to the Northern Ontario section.

O O O The cool-going, Alberta-horn netmindcr has not only chalked up three in a row, but has been un- beaten in 190 minutes and 45 sec- onds of play during four playoff starts and jacks up his total for the season to six perfect perform- ances. If that isn't a record. then we'd sure approciale hearing the facts of a better one. There is a lot of organized hockey being played on this continent and one would be taking a lot for granted in saying it is a now record Wilh- oul bcin-g specific, but it can he said that it has never been done before in Big Four hockey circles in playoff competition. - 0 . Of course one is inclined tolpui. all the glory of such a feat to the credit of the goaltender who reaps the honor of such a performance, but it must be remembered that there are some 13 or 14 other play- ers on 'tihat team who have all ccntri-buted their share in helping Hal garner those 5-hulouts. Defence and forward sections of the Is- landers have been turning in ter- rific performances to a man dur- ing iihose four games in particular. a c 0 But i-f you know the Islanders team, then you know too, that it is hard to pin down the credit to any individual. If you ask the defenccmen who was responsible for the shutouts. they will tell you that l-la'l and the boys up front were tops, while the forwards say that the defence work and goal- tending was perfect. Hal thinks that all the team in front of him is good, while coach Leo ”The Llon" Lamoureux is pleased about the whole thing. is it any wonder ilhat a. team with a spirit like that gets shullouls. If a team like that doesn't go places. then it isn't their fault and nothing short of "a better team" will stop them from hiking over a long and successful playoff trail. 0 0 So much for i.-he bright side of llhe playoff picture. it is under- stood, however, that at Monctou Stadium on Tuesday night, things were not just as they should be as concerned some individuals among the cash customers. The word "some" is used because one couldn't discredit the general sporting public at Moncton in con- doning such low tactics. O O 0 Talking to some of the Island- ers yesterday, they informed us that at one point during the first period, tine situation became not only sticky but slightly odorous as well. It appears that some of the fans located hack of the Is- landers players bench started toss- ing rotrten eggs. with Coach Lam- ouseux and defenceman Jack 'Spy' Ready being the main targets. Spy said that the first shower came when somebody tossed an "egg" that hit a lady spectator on the head and splattered he and Lam- orureux at the same time. He stated that other "direct; hits" were also scored on-both of 0 Ready had his coat and hat which bore the telltale proof to ' back up his story. which still were spotted. etc.. despite efforts to clean them off. Said Sopy "the lady who was hit with the first egg, was crying and just dripping with egg, and when we got hit with the' next barrage, it wasnlt funny." He said that although way of knowing who threw them. "if we should have to play at Moncinn again." quoted 591. "Pm going to ask the Islanders to buy a Mix-Master." 0 O 0 Another uni-iouewwn sport scribe commenting on the incident yesterday pretty well bit the nail on the head when he wrote: "The THE GUARDIAN, Chitown Junior Abbies Defeat Siside To Win Provincial Hockey Title iors defeated the Sheep an Mc- Innls Juniors of summerside at crystal Rink last night 5 to 4. taking the round 20 to 6. and with it the junior hockey ' plonship of Prince Edward Island. on ice which made puck control difficult. the visitors out-skated their op- ponents and were it not for the cool and efficient work of ”Unk” Rogers in the summerside nets. the Charlottetown margin of vic- tory would undoubtedly have been larger. Arnold Mccallum starred for the winners, getting three goals and one assist. "Nooner" Deighan scored a brace of tallies for the Summerside team. About five minutes before the end of the game a fight broke out between two players and expand- ed into one of the wildest scenes of disorder and flstlcuffs seen in Crystal rink for a long time.

The Saints once again showed the shooting form that has kept them on top l-n the loop thus far this season as they rolled up their third high score in as many weeks in dropping the Birdmen. The Red-and-Whiters have averaged 95 markers in their last three games, good shooting in any ma.n's league. The game was fast all the way through particularly in the first period as the 'Force made a good try at matching the Hillmen at their own forte, speed and more speed. The Saints held an 11 point bulge at the half, dropping in 42 per cent of their field attempts and adding 3 free ones while the Flyers were making good on a 29 percentage and adding 7 foul tries. Score at the half: S.D.U. 45, R.C. AF. 34. Play was paced similarly in the second canto as the Red-and-Whlh or: continued their fine shooting and ball handling to outscore the visitors by a 17 point margin. this time 41 to 29. Top man for the evening was the Saint's Jack Reardon who flipped for 28 points. Reardon now has the top scoring average in the league and seems certain to repeat his last year's scoring champion- ship. Also playing standout ball for the loop leaders were Pete Dunphy and Fred Coyle with 17 and 13 points apiece. High men in a losing cause were Button and Campbell with 18 and 15' respectively while Green play- ed effective ball in adding 12.
