N-In Doe. 10 - (G) -A murderous third-period assault upon hint John leavers netted Halifax Crioeenta six goals lohisht in an l-I win that advan- ced t-he Non aootians to a second place tie with Ienoton Hawks, five points below the loading Truro Besrcsts in the libs-Mme Senior Hockey League. The hapless Beavers. linking deeper intq the Big your cellar, were separated by the same mar- gin from Halifax and Moncton. They have won only live games, and drawn four, out of 21. The up and coming speedy Cres- rentgshowed better class through- out tonight but in each of the first two periods found the Saint John cago only once, including a shot of the lucky variety. Beavers man-Bled to tie the score in the third but then Crescents went to town and began pounding goalie Tommy Donachey, who ap- peared ineffectual as the rubber passed him six times. Pius Grudet and Rocky Sullivan combined for a lucky Halifax tally half way through the first period. When Pius shot Rocky's pass from the blue line. Saint John defence- man Bill Allan obscured Dona- rheys view and he failed to sec the puck in time for a. save. The session of speedy, heads-up hockey was fairly rougr Two pen- allies were imposed for tripping, two for roughing and one for an illegal check. The Halifax forwards were skating fast and had the bet- ter of the play. More than 17 minutes elapsed in the next period before George MacGregor made it 2-0 for Cres- cent: with Gaudet assisting. Bea- vers were trapped behind the Hal- ifax blue line when MicGregor shot. The next play was a repet- ition of the situation. excepting that Donacbey made a great save. Crescents continued to show sup- eriority over the homesteis. Beavers tied the count early in, the third, with Vic Jackson and, Nick Fcderonick sco Ing, butl Crest-cuts thcn ran wild with six, tallics and made Donachey look bad.

Doc. 10—(CP)-— The New York jinx exerted its in- fluence over Montreal Canadians again tonight asthe Rangers scor- ed in the final 30 seconds of play to gain a 4-4 tie against their Na- tional Hockey League rivals. Canadians three times took the load as Elmer Loch crested the spark for the Montreal attack in the absence of his famed line mate Maurice Richard who was aids- lined with a knee injury. But the Rangers, undefeated in four games against the Canadians this season salvaged a tie when Grant (Knobby) Warwick connected at 19:30 of the third period of! a goal mouth scramble. The stalemate sent the two i clubs into their return match at Montreal tomorrow night with l their respective standings un- ‘ changed Canadians still holding a two-point edge in fourth place. From the start it appeared that Canadiens finally would snap the slump that had seen them beaten. 2-1, 4-2 and 5-3 in three previous games against the Rangers. Lseh, scored the first of his three goals to give the visitors a 1-0 edge in the first period. That goal stood up until 2:02 of the second period, when Frankie Eddolls tied the score. But Loch came right back for his second tliial, taking passes from Kenny Reardon and Toe Blake to put Canadians ahead 2-l. Howard 11"!) Riopelle hulled through two Ranger defenders to consolidate the lead, scoring one second before the second period ended. Down two goals. the Rangers. refused to quit.
