lltlantics Take close 4-3

Victory Over

semi-Final Series

The Islanders and Atlantics re- atiiitie their struggle here tonight after the local boy: dropped an initial 4-3 decision in Halifax which was anybody'a game until the fin- al whistle.

The teams played on even terms throughout the game but the two quick goals by Wywrot and Ford in the second period gave the At- lantics a scant margin which they were able to hold until the end Shots on goal were about even with Mr.Mee.kin handling 32 while Bes- sette stopped 35. This latter fac' would indicate that the Halifax boys were really on fire since the work required by the two goalies is usually reversed when these teams I'I19cl.

Morrow played an outstanding game for the winners and proved to be the proverbial lhoi'ri in the side of the Island team all evening. It last nights ttissle is any indica- tion of what the fans can expect of the remaining games in this ser- ies. it would appear that the. more oe less mild, type of hockey which has been seen all winter, is at an end

The two additions to the clubs. Clements and O'Connor seemed to have added some spark to the play- ing. with the latter giving notice that when an Irishman is aroused there is going to be trouble. His episode with McPhee last night marks one of the few fights seen in the M.M.I-LL. this winter-.

With very little to decide between the two. whatever small adVanLage can be expected is when they play in their home ring. It is therefore important, fD each that they win as many games away from home as possible. Islander supporters will be looking for a win tonight and to- morrow night and from all appear- ances they have a good chance of getting their wish.

A tour of Russia by It lop Cana- ri-nn hockey team appears to lie, ftvnred by all concerned. but tho proiect may have to wait a year brcause of weather conditions.

While no formal invitation has been extended. the idea arose at Stockholm last week when offi- cials of Mosctfw Dynamos said Russia would welcome. a visit hy I loading Canadian team for ex- hibition games against Soviet clubs.

The Russians never made clear whether they are interested in an amateur or professional club but fire suggestion aroused immediate interest in Canada. which was rrinforced when the Dynamos whipped Toronto Erat. York 7-2 Sunday to win the world hockey title.

He added that Itich a tour would necessarily have to await, completion of the NHl.'s playoff! next month and that the v)siting team's expenses would have to be assured.
