scored his 48th and 49th goals of the season Thursday night on A pair of 35-foot. sizzis-rs as Detroit Red Wings crushed Boston Bruins 6-1 in a National Hockey League game that had the crowd in near hysterics every time Howe got the puck.

Driving to set a record for most goals in one season, Howe now is only one short of the mark estab-

lished by Montreal's Maurice Richard. The Canadiens' Rocket scored 50 times in 1944-45 in a

50-game schedule.

Howe, playing a TO-gtinic st-hell-, uie, has two more games to 'go- azalnst Ch-icngo Saturday and Montreal Sunday.

With their fifth straight league title locked up, the Wings had one thought: to set up Howe.

Ted Lindsay, his linemate, did all the work on Howc's first goal. He had the puck neartlie blue line in the second period and stick- handled in circles, waiting for Howe to get into position.

He finally slipped the puck to Howe and the dynamic right. wing- er whipped it past Boston goalie Jim Henry in a flash.

Johnny Wilson made possible Howe's second 'goal. He gave him a passout and Howe whirled around and slapped the puck past the be- wildered Henry.

Every time Howe got. the puck after that, the crowd yeied in unison: "Shoot. shoot, shoot."

The othe Red Wing marksman were Alex elvecchio. Tony Les- wlck, Marcel Bonin and Wilson.

Fleming Mackcli scored Boston's lone. goal.

)- THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTET-OWN MARCH 20, 1953

The Saint Dunstan's University basketball team, which made such

an outstanding showing against St. F. X. in the Maritime intercol- legiate basketball finals this week, may get another crack at the Xav- erians. There is a possibility Lhat the Saints will enter competition for the Maritime intermediate title and if they do they will likely meet St. F. X. in a two-game ser- ies. The Saints were given a bye to meet the Nova Scotia winner for the Maritime intermediate title and it is almost it certainly that St. F. X. will win out in Nova Scotia. The decision about the Saints competing for intermediate honors will be made in the next day or two. I O O

The Saints gained a terrific ain- ount of prestige in their final game against St. F.X. Wednesday night. According to reports it was one of the finest games to be played around Antigonish for quite some time and those who saw it label- led the contest as ”territ1c". Dur- in: the first half of the game there was never more than three points between the teams. The Xavcrians went; seven points ahead on one occasion in the second half but the Saints came back to cut the lead to two points near the close of the contest.

It was the same way when the tennis played here in the series opener. The lead changed hands three times and there was never more than a difference of a few points between the two squads. The teams were probably the most evenly matched ever to compete in a Maritime intercollegiate bas- ketball final and should they meet again the interest in Maritime basketball may reach a new high.

The Xaverians will likely be strongxr for the intermediate play- offs. Lorne Whelan, St. F'.X. star of several years ago and R. resident of Antigonish, will be playing with the Nova Scotia Colleglans. Whe- lan will undoubtedly work in well with the smooth playing St, F. X. machine. whose offense is centered around the work of Al Grassi. The Saints came up with a remarkable job of guarding Grassi on Wednes- day which is one of the reasons why they came so close to taking the measure of the Xaverians. All sea- son Grassi has been good for at least 16 points. On Wednesday he got eight. . .

Another factor which helped the Saints on Wednesday was the foul- ing out of the game of big Russ MacNeill. Following the game here a week ago the St. F. X. coach Am-' brose Gilmci: stated that MacNeill would fcul out at Antigonlsh be- cause it. was impossible to watch Rearglon without fouling. Gilmet'.s prediction came quite true as MacNeill was out of the game in the first half with his full quota of five fouls, In the last hnlf Rcardon scored 17 points.

Reardon has proved to all that the is easily the game's greatest scorer in the Marltim 1. In the N.B.-P.E.I. Intercolleg ale League the average 31 points a game and (in S.D.U.-St. FIX, series he had an average of 22 points. He played a remarkable game at Antigonish on Wednesday night. and drew the praise of friend and foe alike as did the whole saint Dunsta.n's team. The Saints made quite an impres- lslon on the Maritime athletic scene this year by winning the In- tercollegiate football tiilo and com- ing so close in basketball. Its ll pleasure to congratulate them on their feats and while we're at it we would like to corigratulate the Xav-

notchers in athletics and they've certainly got it top notch basketball team this year. ' I O C

As the Islanders-Glace Bay series moves along. one cold fact seams to stick out -- the Islanders are not it play-off hockey team. This may very well be changed in the next few days but the Islanders over the last two years haven't shown enough ability in the play- offs to merit much praise. In seven play-off games over the two year span the Islanders have won one and lost. six, In most. of the six loans the opposing team came from behind. -. . .

The trouble this year is thtt the boys Just aren't producing.

We don't wish to under-estimate the Glace Bay team. They have I. good goalie, very fast. skating for- wards and a. fair defense. Their forwards are faster than the Is- landers and back-check well. Still they shouldnt be able to ham- string the Islanders in the present manner. On the Glace Bay de- fense last night were Neil Amcdio. Bob cooper, Bill! Burcga and Bob Cooper. Amadio is only in his sec- ond year out of Maritime Junior hockey. Verrler is a forward play- ing defense for the first time in his life while Burega has been a good but not outstanding defense- man.
