JETROIT. Jan. 'I a (GP) - De- troit Red Wings fattened their Na- tional Hockey League lead tonight as they blanked Boston Bruins 3-0 for goalie Terry sawchulfs sixth shutout of the season.

The wings' victory maintained: their jinx over Bruins who have dropped all four games played on Detroit ice, A crowd of 10.522 saw Sawchuk take over the No. l goalie rating in the N. H.L. as his half- dozen shutouts put him out in front in that department.

His teammate, Gordie Howe, picked up one of Detroit's scores to boost his point total to 40. highest. in the league's scoring race. It was a scoreless duel for 39 minutes be- fore Metro Pi-ystal put the wings nhead 1-0 in the final moments of the seccnd. period.

Howe made it 2-0 at 8:35 of the final session with Jimmy Peters sinking the last tally at 11:40. The latter score brought a. violent pro- test from the Bruins who figured play had been halted before the puck entered the net but their pro- test got nowhere.

The Wings now lead SPCOild-DIZICE Toronto by five points as they got set to meet the Leafs here Tues- day. .

TORONTO. Jan. 7 -(OP)-New York Rangers got both the goals and the penalties Saturday night is they fashioned a 4-2 victory over the second-place Toronto Maple Leafs in a National Hockey

the cellar into fifth place in the six-team loop.

Fortified with a. mysterious elixir flown in from New York during the day. Rangers ripped into Leafs for three goals in the first six minutes and 8 seconds of play and the Toronto team never quite recovered.

The bruising battle reached fis- tic climax in the last period when Toronto's Gus Mortson and New York's Zelllo Toppaazini got into a combined boxing and wrestling match which brought them major penalties. Each also got a miscon- due: when they went at it in the peiralty box.

Mortson also had two minor penalties to give him a total of 19 minutes in the game. Couiiting the misconducts-Wally Stanow- ski or Rangers got one in the first period for debating with the re!- erce-Ranszers had 39 minutes in penalties, Leafs '25.

The Islanders hockey club wound up another highly successful week of activities at Saint John on Sat- Eurday night when they SQHECT-ed

loul. 3.3-2 overtime verdict over 'the Beavers in a closely contested lbattle that sent the islanders to (their fourth win of the week and their seventh straight to maintain their 19-point stranglehcd on the league leadership over second-P18” Santam..r- ians prevented Islanders. from stretching their point niafgln '0 an ;all-time high for the season by lcloivning Moncton Hawks 4-8 in an- other nip-and-tuck battle over Hai- ifax ice on Saturday. night. I O

since taking over the reins of lthe Islanders. this is the second (sustained winning streak that coach I'M Lamourcux has sent his cli-H885 into. and has only three more to so .tm equal the local Club's present .record of 10 straight whi'.e under lthe guiding hand of former coach Murph Chamberlain, l..amoureux's last big stab at equalling in better- ing the team's early season string of victories ended at the six-game mark on December 16th when they

smmeyg lcst it 2-1 verdi(:t.to .Saint John.

At that rate it (would appear that Lanioureux does better with each attempt he makes and as it stands now might well make this one the big try that will do the trick. They will meet Moncton here on Tuesday

''';,,1,:.,, lnight which could well be the eighth

lin a row, but will have two tough lsessions with Saint Mary's on 1 '11-hursday night at Halifax and back here in the City on Friday night. If they can get through those three assignments viclcrious. they have a good chance of breaking the pres- ent record of wins then they come up against Hawks on Saturday night at Moncton. That of course means another full week of no (le- feats and is a lot to expect. but at the present iilglii gear the boys are performing at. it is nct by any means an unlikely feat. If they do, it will give them a leadership in the loop that will give fans. fi'om opposition camps the shudders even to think about it. i 0 I I

An interesting point to he noted as it concerns the periodic big win- ning streaks that Islanders have come up with this season. is that they have -had to.sa.ndwl.oh in an cxhibitlcn game with the Cape Bre- ton League leaders, Sydney Mll- lionalres. during each occasion. The local pucksters had just knocked off their first two league victories in their unbroken string of ten. when they met Sydney for the first time on Oct. 18th. They had. tucked away five of a successive string of slur under their belts when they met Sydney for the second time on Dec. 13th. and now with seven to their credit, islanders meet Sydney for the third exhibition tilt this season at Amherst tonight.

0 0 0

It is encouraging to be able to say. however. that the contests with Sydney have not proved detrimen- tal to Islanders league efforts as the result of their two previous meetings. In the first instance. they went on to win eight more league contests before being defeated. and on the last occasion won their fol- lowing league tilt to extend their unbroken record to six before dron- ping a game. Let's hope tonight's third meeting will not be any tx- ception.

While on the subject of lonig-htls clash at Amherst between Island- ers and Millionaires. let's take I gander at the situation. As in the two previous occasions. the meet- ing between the two big league leader: has created a wide topic of conversation and speculation that holds the interest of fans all over the Marltlmes. Again the respective backers of the two leagues are ex- pressing their views as to which has the better team. up dat.e.:lyd- ney holds the. slight edge on games played. having won the first an- counter 3-1. and coming from be- hind in the second, to earn a 3-3 draw with I'AII:lGO.i'l. ,

But. it hasn't settled anything in the minds of most fans. Many still have their favourite either way. while many others are still unde- cided and think it is a tors-up. while one fan will score with the point of argument that in the last game played. here on Deoqiibar

lath the 'anders held Sydney scoreless for two our while scoring three goals emaeives. an-

-cther fan will offset the eminent with this point - Sydney scored three goals in the last period that took islanders two periods to get.

Prince Street Team In Close Win Over WKS In

Interscholast

Jack Turnerls Prince Sireet boys hockey team Saturday night eked out a close 6-4 win over the West Kent team in a thrilling in- tersoholastic encounter, played on the Forum ice before a shrieking school crowd of about five hun- cited.

The P. S. S. team's diminutive

-' line. spearheaded by Don- nie MacLeod. accounted for four of their team's goals. MacLeod accounted for two goals and set up linemale Bunny Hood on one of his brace of tallies. Benny Carson and Allan MacLeod notch- ed the other goals for the winners wvhile Bobby White. Johnny Squarelbriggs. Ian Kennedy and Rory Lantz found the mark for the losers.

The winners jumped into the driver's seat in the opening min- uies of the first period when they struck pay-dirt for two quick goals, one each by MacLeod and Hood. MaoLeod added another at the nine minute mark to give his team a. three-goal load.

However the W. K. S. team were not to be denied as they ripped through the P. S. S. defence for two goals in the space of twenty- one seconds.

Both squads staggered through a tough second can-to with the winners getting the only goal of the frame on a smart play by Hood at the thirteen minute mark. Each team were penalized but the Turner-coached crew were the ones to capitalize on the offences. Goalie Douglas of the winners was given a two-minute penalty in the period for interference with Hood sitting out the two minutes.

The teams split four goals in I hectic third period that saw the game in" doubt right (up until Benny Carson took advantage of a West Kent power play in the dying minute of the game to salt the encounter away for his team.

Two goals in the space of seven seconds, one by each team gav(' the fans something to cheer about in the opening minutes of the third period. Allan Ma-oLeod scored for the winners with Lantz potting the West, Kent goal. Ian Kennedy made the score read 5-4 for the P. S. S. team when he capitaliged on a well executed play with D e Nicholson. Previous to the goal the penalty box was the main at- traction as referees Bruno "Red" Favero and Larry Travis handed out penalties to both teams for roughing and high sticking.

The break the George MacRae coached W. K. S. crew were wait- ing for came at the thirteen min- ute mark when Allan MacI,.eod. the winners defensive star. re- ceived a penalty for tripping. The West Kent team stormed all around the P. S. S. net in the re- maining two minutes of the period 'i)iL(t could not get the equalizer. Carson broke clear of the pack to skate in on Mills in the W. K. S. net for the clincher with three seconds of -play remaining in the game.

Allan Macbeod. Donnie Mac- Leod. Bar-ryAM1cMillan and Bunny Hood stood out for the winn rs while -the defensive tactics -of Dave Nicholson and Jimmy Moore on defense for the West Kent team offset many a Prince Street threat.
