1t was learned from official sources yesterday that the Mari- time amateur intermediate basket- ball playoffs will get underway at Halifax on'Aprll 8th and 9th to decide a winner to compete in Dominion playoff chumplonlb

competition.

ooo

The Summerside Flyors. winners of the Island Intermediate basket- ball title, will compete in the play with three other teams rep- resenting the Maritimes, with (Ire serial-finals being run off in a doubleheader on April 8th. the two winning foams meeting in U16 finals the following day for the Maritime title. ‘

a

Although them was some doubt here recently concerning whether or not the Flyers would be eligible to compete in the play. the exist- ing difficulties were overcome re- cently ulzcn Summerside officials received word from the C.A.B.A. at Montreal stating that everything was in order and advising jgthc Flyc-rs in hc at Halifax on ‘the 8th to compete in the competition. o » c

Th4; Murray Harbor Bruins put up a stalwart stand hcre on Wed- nesday night when they earned a shutout viclory over the Inter- mediate Abbie-s in the filial game of their semi-final series. with ,the \\'ll‘l giving them the right to meet J c Summcrside pucksters in the final round for the Island inter- mediate championship. the first game inking place at Murray Harbor lust night. Tile second and final game will get underway at the Crystal Arena at Summer- side on Saturday‘ night. O I I

Playing a really close-checking ganle all illo way. (he Bruins kept thc local squad at a disadvantage most of the time. The visitors gave the appeal-since that they had about 1L’! men on the ice in- stead of six. as ihcre seemed to be iwo Bluins to lie up an op- posing player every time I10 got tho puck, particularly when the Abbios forced their wny inside the opposing bluclille vlrrc they were met with such a network of de- fence tactics ilzzlt they were thrown for a loss on almost every occasion. I Standing out on the visiting lineup for his performance was goalie Silas MucKay, who had to make some sensational saves in order to gain his shutout over the Abbies. MacKay was particularly hot in we first and third periods when the Abbies made their hard- est scoring drives to direct a barrage of rilbbcr at the Murray Harbor cage, causing him to make some really brilliant stops to keep the attackers at bay. O O l

Due to the fact that. it has final- ly been decided to run off the Maritime Junior hockey finals be- tween P. W. C. and St. Mary's as a sudden death affair at Halifax on Saturday afternoon, it seems a shame that (he local boys, who worked so hard to earn their way info the finals. will not have the opportunity of contesting the title on Home ice. and local fans will be unable to sce their‘ club in action against the Halifax squad.

O O O

These seems to be a lack of proper planning somewhere be- tween the M. A. H. A. and Marl- time Hockey Clubs as far as mari- time playoffs are concerned, as this is the second or third time 112st playoff schedules have been pushed through to meet some dead- line or other that has caused participating teams to work over- time with very little rest between INBQI.

If this column‘ remembers oor- rectly. the Cape Breton Senior League had to cut short their regular schedule in order to meet playoff dates. and in the ease of Central League play. Abbies and Amherst had to rim off their some four games in semi-final and final ploy in almost as many days to fibo with the, opening dates of Maritime senior hockey playoff competition. And now lut but not lust, Halifax and Charlottetown are forced to make their playoff series a sudden death contest in order to comply with the M. A. H. A. demlnd that itbe completed by the week-end.‘ ' ‘ -

Ivan if P. W. 0. did get their home and home series with 5t. Mary's it would have put plenty of strain on the endurance of the locll quad. Pinyin: Saint John hero on Mondn night in the first

Sport Echoes v From Prince?‘ County

The Summerslde All-Stars are two goals downon the semi-final round 0f‘ the Charlottetown City League as we writs this. Consid- ering that Windy Steele and Char- lie Dfiighan were not with the team in the first encounter, the boys made a pretty fair-showing and should make an interesting fight ‘of it before bowing out to the Tara for m. place in-tlhs finals. Even in defeat the boys lived up to their about-face reputation. At the start of the season they were morning glories that wilted before half the game was over, but they roar down the stretch in most of their games now and their third period scoring has usually been terrific. mesday night they played

true their form and out-scored the Navy. We didn't see this game, but

from what we have heard about the goal which “Mooney" Gallant scored, and which was disallowfid on the claim that it was offside, we think some of the boys must have played “hookey" from ‘Pete Kelly and King Clancy's school for referees. we are depending entirely on hearsay, of course, and can quite easily be put in our place by anyone who will volun- teer to explain why the goal act- ually was offside. We pause for “official rule book identification."

‘The fact that both games in the semi-final l-oulld for tile Charlottetown city Leagug alum. pionship must according to previous agreement be played ln the enemy's balllwick militate: against the All-Stars’ hopes for victory. If it were a case of home- alld-home games, lotaY-goals to count. oh. brother! Does anyone doubt the All-Stars’ ability to brinE home the bacon under those conditions? ‘
