Royals Open In Saint John

SANDY’S Royals are at Saint John tonight to open the New Brunswick-Prince Edward Island senior hockey playdowns.

The champion of the Island Senior Hockey League play again Saturday night in the port city before returning to the friendly Sports Arena for the remaining games in this best-of- fiye set. Nights of these Charlottetown games are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 5, 6 and 7.

Several members of the Royals left yesterday afternoon for Saint John and the remainder of the squad pulled out this mor- ning. Billy Mulligan, recent winner of the Waite trophy, accom- panied the Parkdalers and will play tonight for Buck Whitlock and his gang. Buck added two others but neither of these is expected to go to Saint John. Both, however«will be available for duty here the first of the week if needed. They are two other Penguins, John Kane and George ‘Butch’ Ward.

Interest is extremely high in this series. Folks still recall that great series of a year ago when Penguins edged Oilers

” ‘mn a dramatic five-game set that went right to the bitter end.

Tt was about the best hockey entertainment folks around these parts had seen for many a year and the memory of it is still fresh although the action happened twelve months ago.

Indeed quite a few persons are going over to Saint John for one or both games there and there’s no doubt that The Sports Arena will be jammed when action comes this way the first of the week,

Oilers Are Hopeful

THE. Oilers insist they are a better club than the one that carried Penguins to the limit last March. They are willing to concede that Royals are more powerful than last year’s Pen- guins but that’s all they'll concede. You can detect a quiet con- fidence when you talk to their top brass. They have serious notions of meeting the winner of the Cape Breton-Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League series for the Maritime crown.

To entertain such notions they'd to oust the Royals from the championship trail. This will be a major undertaking and one that we believe Oilers are not capable of performing

We look for the Whitlock, Carroll. Frizzell band to split the games in Saint John. If they can do that, then they should be able to bring the serines to a halt in four games.

Of course, Royals would have been better prepared for his tmportant series had they been extended in the local vlavoffs. They breezed through their nine games without a defeat, A couple of losses might have indeed sharpened them for the Gassmen from New Brunswick

And So Are The Royals

BUT YOU must remember that these Royals don’t like losing hockey games. We think they were beaten only four times in something likke 30 games this season. That's a mighty fine percentage any way you look at it. Buck doesn’t want the percentage lowered because of this series with the Oilers and he has told his players that. Nothing would please Whitlock better than disposing of the Oilers in three straight. That would take a lot of doing but the Royals will be trying to achieve

goal.

* We aren’t predicting that they'll throw the Saint John squad in straight games. But we do think Royals will emerge as champions of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island and enter the Maritime finals.

Hawks Are Stopped

CHICAGO Black Hawks couldn’t win the big one they so badly needed Wednesday night in Toronto.

This was a four-pointer and the hometown Leafs managed to skate away with a 4-2 decision which at that time boosted their lead over Chicago to five points. Now the Leafs have three games in hand and the Hawks have a mighty task on their shoulders if they want to overtake the Imlachmen,

Chicago hasn’t won a hockey game in Toronto in two years and they have just one more chance in regular league play this season. That’s a rather drab showing for a team that won the Stanley Cup last April.

HUNTER’S CORNER

| Harvey Moore Scholarship | Appeal Made By Columnist

In my last column I stated | that I would outline steps inter- ested sportsmen could take to cut down the mortality among certain species of our upland game birds. For instance: I am convinced that the use of Cal- cium Chloride to cut away ice on our highways has killed more | Hungarian partridge than hunt- ing in season and predation com- bined over a period of ten years past. Sodium Chloride, common salt to put it in plain English, will kill domestic poultry such as hens and ducks in nothing flat. I remember as distinctly as if it were yesterday the time | our ice cream freezer was emp- tied of its salt and ice after ice cream had been made and see- ing half grown ducks lying on their backs all over the yard with their legs feebly waving in the air. If my memory serves me correctly 16 or 17 died and others were off their feed for

weeks. |

ners Elks vs. Otters vs. Winners KNOCK FOR A LOOP

Calcium Chloride, used to cut ice on our highways, is noth- ing more, or less, than a refin- ed version of common salt and will knock a covey of Huns for a loop. Here is a case in point:

| Last winter a farmer in the Seal River area told me he fed | @ covey of 16 Huns. They always went to a bare patch on the} highway for grit after being fed. | The ‘Calcium Chloride’ truck| had just passed with a chap in| the back shovelling out the mix- ture. One shovel full landed on the bare patch and later on he!

live trapping, it is highly pro- bable they would have accom- plished their mission. . . a top conservation project as applied to our upland game birds.

ADVOCATED GRIT PILES Over twenty years ago I ad- vocated that grit piles be es- tablished in inland sections of the province. The idea was to dump a truck load of gravel and coarse sand at a point where snow was not known to bavk too deep. Over the pile it would be necessary to construct a cover of brush and limbs a few feet above the gravel as a proter- tive screen from the air. Pre datory birds like hawks and ra- vens would hang around such places unless the birds had pro- tection. They would be simple and inexpensive to construct. posts sunk with string- ers connecting each and these in turn covered with saplings or boughs.

Snow plough operators have

|told me that during winters of

deep snow they can spot cov- ey’s of Huns hurrying across the snow covered fields and falling in behind the plough. Huas learn fast. If they had grit piles close at hand they would have no need to patrol the highways and Rail- way tracks. The losses are quite heavy due to train action dur- ing winters of deep snows. They have a tendency to bed down be- tween the rails in deep cuttings for the night, Quite frequently the engine and cab is festooned with their broken bodies. Sometimes I cannot help but

Hull Trigge

BOSTON (AP) — Bobby Hull seored twice, raising his Na- tional Hockey League leading goal total to 42, as he helped Chicago defeat Boston 5-4 Thurs- | day night.

The triumph pulled Black Hawks within three points of idle second place Toronto and extended Boston's winless streak to 16 games.

Red Hay and Murray Balfour, ammates of Hull on The Mil- ion Dollar Line combined for another goal and three assists. A sloppy though hard-hitting game marked by frequent pen- alties saw Hull score with only 52 seconds elapsed. Then Chi- | cago fell behind 3-1 before rally- | ing’ to take command.

Ron Murphy broke a 44 tie just seven seconds before the end of the middle period when, in one big thrust, he pushed de- fenceman Ted Green, the puck and goalie Bruce Gamble back into the net for a score.

Hull raised his point total to 74 for the season, three short’
