April 13—-(CP)—Rouyn, Que, Flashes to- night defeated Halifax Navy 6-5 to deadlock their best-of-flve series for the Eastern Canodlfllntermed- late championship at a game apiece. Navy won the -first game here Tuesday 6-4. Tonight's game was marked by some of the roughest play seen here this season as Ginger Thomp- son, red-thatched wingman of the Navy, suffered a skate gash on his forehead for which Rene Cyr of Rouyn received a 10-minute match penalty for inflicting deliberate in- jury. Reg Burll of Rouyn also re- ceived a slash across the face that took him out of the game. The Rouyn team took the edge on the scoring from the three-minute mark and held the Navy in check throughout the balance of the game, although they were tied twice-once in the first and again ln the second. Standout stars for Halifax Navy were Spider Spldell and Shed Shedlowskl, the former scoring one goal and one assist and the latter two goals. Verne Franclle and Nooi Guimond of the Flashes stood out for the Quebecers with two goals ‘ apiece.

At this point the Flashes were leading 6-4.
