islanders Return To

Form With 5- Over iiaiifax

The Ghai'lottetow'n Islanders mapped a three goal losing streak by outpiaying arid outscoring the League leading Halifax Atlantic: 5-2 at the Forum last night be- fore a mediocre crowd of fans.

The Islanders scored three times in the first period and added two more. in the second frame as they outclassed the League leaders. The Trainormen had things pretty much their own way throuzhoiit. the contest and were full value for another five goals. l

Defenseman Larry Blackburn treated the fans to one of his best. performances of the iear. Bl-at-k-. burn. the most effective player on the ice. came up with one of the.

smartest. blot-king games witness- eii here this season. In the first plerlfifl alone the

rotund Islanders dcfensemi-tn stop-lg

pert more rubber than Roger Bos- sette Larry had a field day at the expense. or the shifty Pete Wywi-oi as he spoiled the Cagey Ono's plavs time after time

Tt-am Captain Gus Giistavesmi lll”Pfll1iZ from an infected tee. was forced to miss the game. Gus-l taveson may be out most of the rrervir with the foot ailment. 'I'i1e; infection start:-ti froiii a blow on thr foot Saturday night at Glace,

His ailment left the Islanrlers with Blackburn. Gray and Me Iinughiin for defensive chores

Tney were as solid as it stone wa'1 and found trouble anly with Muc- kle Holle-tt who slipped throiitrh the defence on several occasions

Scoring honors were well divided among the Islanders. Whitlock. Trainor and Ritchie counted in the firat period Giiy Gignac and Orin. Carver connected for the I. l l'if'id9fS in the middle frame. Miickle Hnllett and Ross Watson were the Halifax marksmen. i

The Atlantlcs had Carroll Bloom back in action. Bloom's suspen- sion has been cut from eleven fol six games and he has been ordered to sit out two games against each club.

The game was only underway a little over a minute when Vince, Palladino and Billy Aicand start-l

ed trading piinches behind the Halifax net. Both players were brmished with major; and when

they returned to the ice the Is-

landers were enjoying it 2-0 1ead.l

Whitiock flashed the first red light at the. 1:28 mark. Orin Car- ver poke-checked a I-Ia1lfax'puck carrier at centre ice and the puck went to Whitiock who was in the clear. Whitlock skated to Mac Ms-ekiri's door step before drilling. the rubber into the lower left hand corner.

Coach Bur-lto TfJllnOT upped the count. as he. shot. the puck thro-igh M:;Mnekin's legs four minutes la-i ter. Trainor carried over the line. and shifted at. the Halifax rie-' feivse before firing a 25-foot shot that beat .VlcMer-kin

Elwood Ritchie ended A person- al goal famine by scoring on knee-high hackhnnder near the end of the period Trainor did the apade work. putting Ritchie in the clear. Ritchie's backhander

"Red" had been playing good hockey for thc Abbies hockey team and riuriiig the past. week or so had been settniiz a rapid pace. Last Thursday night against Summerside he played his best game of thel year as he scored three goals tol lead the Abbies to a 9-5 win over the Aces. On Saturday night. in an exhibition game he scored three mm" izoals as the Abblea and; Saints played to a 5-5 draw.

Howatt coached the Sport Lodgei Trotters in the Island and Cityi Basketball Leagues. In addition to guiding the team he took his re- guiar turn on the floor and was. one of the best bail players in thel City.
