Millionaires Clinch Second Section Title

Ray's Millionaires Saturday nigh-t clinched first section honors in the Oity Basketball League when they outscored Prince of Wales squad 40-32 in one of the hardest fought and closest check- IHB Bonus of the season.

As the score indicates. the en- counter was s nip and tuck affair all the way through. Ray's went into an early lend only to have the (‘loss-coached squad overhaul ‘hem M11’ WI)’ th ough the open- ing Period. but e Millionaires. checking like leeches, again forged to the front and at the halfway mark had a 30-14 lead.

The six-point margin stood them in good stead. Prince of Wales, showing a decided im- provement in marksmanship, prac- "wily matched the winners bas- ket for basket all through the half and at the end Millionaires had a margin of one basket, outscoring their opponents 20-18 with. the losers a couple of times in the half threatening to overtake the league leaders.

Walter LePage again led the scorers for the Miilioniares, piling up s total of 12 points, but hon- ors for the scoring leader of the game went. to Donnie McLean of the Prince of Wales team, six baskets and a foul shot giving him s. total of thirteen points. one point better than LePageb total.

Beavers Win From Moneton ‘Hawks 9-5

MONUTON, N.B., Feb. 8 —(CP) §sint John Beavers went three points up on last-place Halifax Crescents Saturday n‘ght when they defeated second-place Monc- ton Hunks 9-5 in. a rough and ready, penalty-studded Maritime Senior Hockey League fixture.

A 20-minute misconduct penalty to Roger Jodoln and loss of George Boil with a knee injury were con- tributing factors in Hawks down- fall in the first period of the hard- fought gzine, although a vastly improved Beaver team played out- standing hockey to rack up their important victory.

Twenty - one penalties iod, including the 20-minute sen- tence to Jodoin, and referee Wick James was the constant object of the fans‘ criticism throughout the game as he continued to wave players to the penalty box.

Hawks appeared disorgan zed b!‘ the penalty parade and only in the early stages of the second i???‘ led, when they banged in three goals in three minutes did they show their usua form.

Beavers. on t e other hand, took things in stride, capitalized on Hawks lack of organization and player shortages to drive l0 B" impressive win.

The gbuse directed at James eclipsed anything ever witnessed before in a Moncton rink. He was subjected to B. steady barrflte o! criticism which started early in the game when he waved Jodoin of! soi- 2o minutes and continued almost without let-no “M11 the f nai bell.

The second section of the league which is expected to get underway on Wednesday night should pro- duce some of the closely fought basketball tussles witnessed here in recent years. While we still give Millionaires a slight edge there is very little difference be- tween any of the four teams and it will not be surprising if the league standings shift often be-
