I I Having comiderable trouble due to bad roads enroute to their des- tination, they didn't get their game underway until about l1 o'- clock, and after taking a 5- beat- ing from the King's Couny ag- gregation, started out on their re- turn trip. I I I iibvperiencing more road trouble, the boys spent most of the night becoming stuck and unstuck and eventually arrived at Montague at six in the morning, and didn't ar- rive hack in the City until Thes- day noon. Between pushing the bus, tramping through the slush and snow and trying to sleep on the bus, she boys were pretty well truckered out by the time they reached home. I I I Ccngettrlatlons go out to the snort band of P. W. C. Juniors, who captured the N. B.-P. E. I. Junior title from the Saint John Muroons at that city on Tuesday night. The Welshmen, despite the fact that they fell down bully here in the third period on Mon- dey night, when they allowed the Maroons to overtake c. five goal lead to tie up the game at 8-8, came back strong at Saint John on Tuesday night to edge out the New B-runswickers by a 7-5 count and earn the right to meet the Halifax St. Mary's J-unlors for the Maritime title. I I I Holding them by s 6-1 score at the end of the second period, which was identical to the score here on Monday at the end of the same period, theiocal squad didn't make the same mistake of relax- ing on their defensive play, which cost them their lead here. but went out and put up a. strong de- fensive style of play which re- sulted in final victory. 1 e n e If Tuesday night's game between Navy and Summcrslde is any in- dlcstion of the style of game the fans will see here next week in the ilnsl game of their series in City Hockey League serrni-flnal playoff competition, then they are in for e smart game of hockey and keen competition. I The two teams put up a real battle, and although the Navy held the edge on the play to win out by s. 5-3 margin, the Summerside squad were s continual threat sll the way. And despite the feet tint they will have s two-goal ltsd to overcome tonight, they can be counted upon to come out fighting harder: than ever. - The Navy, only using two lines instead of their usual three, wer very effective in their , ' attacks with both lines really turning in first classperformsn-ces, although the line of Carver, Dow- ling and Sheppard were the driv- ing force behind the Tare Attack. The All Star's, using their full three lines, were minus the valu- sble assistance of their playing- corclr "Windy" Steele beck on their resrguard position. And there is no doubt that his absence was felt by the team not only in their defensive power but also as a stabilizing f.sci_or ‘in their play. Whether Windy will be back on their lineup for the next game was not known at time of writing, but if he is you can depend that it will strengthen their chances of winning considerably. I I I Although the line of Ostwsy, Grady and Gay turned in their usual effective performance in lcsdinl the Western attack, the men who really stood out on the teem for his excellent perform‘- ence was their net custodian, Frankie Foy. I I Besieged by e barrels cf fill- ber. particularly in the second per- iod. Foy turned in probably his beet performance of the yes: when he made some really bril- liant saves to turn the Tera beck time and again filling repented dengecur scoring attacks. w vroronu nmx- TQNIGHT ' Nine Mite Creek‘ Iulldcgs .

Weak defens- ively when they dropped a 5-4 decision in the series 01191191‘ 1'95" tel-day, the Moneymen relied on lhelr‘ defensive network to hold off Halifax. Heavy hitting at the Sydney blueiine was one of the outstand- ing features in a typically tight playoff tussle that was played on ice that stood up well in corn?"- ison to Tuesday's mushy condit- ions. With temperatures ranging over the lBO-degree mark, how- ever, ‘third period ice was soft. Millionaires came from behind to turn the trick, outsllot the Hai- ifax club 25-16 and had a decided edge on the play all the way. It was ironic that former Big Four League players figured in the Sydney victory. Lou Medyndci and Cliff Roach, formerly with 'l‘ruro Bearcats, were the goal scorers. Billy Hannon shot (he Halifax goal. John Myketyn, a two-year man with Millionaires and a one-time Saint John Beaver. was Sydney's big pillar on the blueiine. Myketyn had a particular af-fin- ity for St. Mary's Jim Gray, whom he flattened twice with heavy shoulder belts. The first time Gray went down on a Mykety-n check was at the two-minute mark of the second period. The Halifax captain staggered to his bench and collapsed from lack of wind. He revived in a few minutes and came back to the wars but the intensity of the check kept Hali- fax wary of the hard-hitting My- ketyn thereafter. ‘Iihey gave the left side of the Myketyn-Arundel combination a wide berth.

March 7 — (GP)- At the risk of putting the big fat whammy on such s fine fellow as Canadians‘ Bill Durnan, it seems timely to mention the feeling a- broad these days that goalie Bill is only a scant distance now from winning the Vczina Trophy. For Bill a trophy win would be quite a thing since he held it four seasons hand-running until fut Turk Broda of Toronto Maple Leafs snaflled it. away from 111m last season. Hereabouts Dink (Montreal Gar- ette) Carroll notes Durnan "has been terrific of late," having gone, prior to week-end games, eight periods without being scored upon. Dink is hesitant, too, about men- tioning this and recalls the last time he wrote an epic on Durnan the roof foil ln before it could get into print. New York Rangers belied nine goals past him. ‘ Another Durnsn Booster ov-n-uup-qpaq avlfilflsbbbbdbfiéO uson also gives the nod to Dur- nan as the top netman of the Nu- tlonal Hockey League. Fergie looks askancc at coach Dick Irvin of Canadlens who gloomily fears Durnan won't be nominated by coaches as the ell-star goalie of the league. . " ll has had only one bad game In 2 and this observer can't see how any selector could pick any- one elre but Durnan, as the stand- ings sre now at any rate," says Fergie. "But Irvin has fears. He has no confidence in the judgment of his fellow coaches." And here is whet Irvin says: "In Toronto the other day, Hap Day of the Leafs decluredRayner (Chuck Rayner of Rangers) is the greatest gceler in hockey, so I suppose he'll vote for Rayner. Other clubs will have other views. New York will go for Rayner and Durnan will get the double-shuffle 4th Annuul ' P.E.I.

The victory gave them the round by s 7-2 count, having taken the opening game on home ice by s score c152,, ‘ The game was e really wide-open rough and ready affair, and despite the feet that there were few pen- cities handed out there was plenty of clean, heavy body checking dish- _ed out with the locals being on the receiving end a good portion of the time. . Some 800 fans were in attendance. A special train brought 290 from Murray Harbor. Skating hard and ever on the puck, the Bruins continually dis- rupted organized Abbies attacks, end when they did get inside the Murray Harbor blueline they ‘tied them up solid with very effective defensive play which rarely gave the Abbies a clean shot on goal. The visitors showed their ‘sup- eriority most in the second and third periods, with the play being on much evener terms in the open- lng canto. The Abbies made some smart opening breakaways, but when they did work their way through the opposing defence they were stymied right and left by some really excellent gcaltending by the Murray Harbor net custod- ian, Si s MacKay. The ruins got their opening counter in the dying seconds cf the first period when G. acNeIll drill- ed home a hard sh t from the blueline when he snared F. Harris's pussout during a Bruins ganfling attack inside their opponents blue line. - Outplaying the Abbies In the sec- ond canto, the Murray Harbor pucksters forced the attack right from the opening whistle and garn- ered their second and final goal of the game at 2:01 when G. Harris and G. MacNeill clicked in a pass- ing attack in front of the net, Har- ris banging in MacNellPs pass. Murray Harbor held a definite edge on the play for the remainder of the period and kept the Abbie goalie, Roper, pretty busy during some smart passing attacks going in on goal, but the local custdian turned in an effective performance, and kept out everything that cnme his way. The Abbies made some dangerous breakaway: during cp- posing pressure attacks, but the steady defensive action of their op- ponents forced them into some very erratic shooting around the net. causing them to miss some nice scoring chances. The third period roughened up considerable, with the Abbies open- ing up strong in the early part of the frame In nn effort to break in- to the scoring but the Bruins held their ground firmly and ataved off nll attacks until they themselves took the offensive. Heavy body- checking became harder and more S'Side At Murray Itarbour Tonight Rink officials announced last night that there will be no fur- ther Clty Hockey League playoffs held here this week due to the fact that the Summernlde squad will 0p€n their intermediate play- off series at Murray Harbour to- night and will be playing their return game at Summc side on Saturday night.
