and outmanoeuvring their opponents for two periods and a half. Junior Abbies last night drew first blood in the semi-finals playoffs when defeated the Rangers by a lop-sided 0-4 count. It was an un-

_ expected outcome to a game that

pins expected to be apclose harri- fought snuggle throughout. But in providing the startling upset Ab- bieswere the masters.

They gave oung “Wlggy" DeBlois in. the Ran- ’ net a hard time oi it as they led 4'1 drives at him throughout game and several times it was anly this youngsters individual rillianoe that kept the rampant $211195 from adding to their total. e Abbiu did receive s. couple oi (oft counters but DeBiols more than made up for these lapses with some hair-raising saves.

McDonald was waved oii for tripping Andrew but Abbles weren't dangerous with the “vantage Rangers being stopped twice by McAleer on breakaway plays by Blacquiele and Worth. The terms were at iull strength when the winners started away on their scoring splurge. Vince Grant, a starof the game corralled a puck at his line to race through the Ran- ker team and then calmly draw De- Blois out for the opening goal of the encounter. Continuing the oi- fensive Abbies made it 2-0 at 12.03 when Andrew poked the disc into the cage from a scramble. Pressing back Rangers took a hand in the scoring less than a min- ule later with Buffer Worth taklnv Campbell's pass at the line to coast in and beat MoAleer with an ankle high drive to the open corner. Ran- ms however failed to hold the up- IM‘ hand long and at the fourteen minute mark Fiannigan‘ whlzzed in a hard drive from the wing that csromed off Denlois‘ stick into the cage. Before the period ended Ran- gers were shorthanded again when Campbell drew a rest for an illegal check but Abbles were foiled in ev- ery attempt and the offender came hack onto the ice just before the Deriod ended.

SIDELINES

ESUUI‘ OF last night's junior playoff game leaves the ul- timate outcomeoi the league

more oi a. tossup than ever. By

their victory last night Abbies proved conclusively that they have to be reckoned with and the win will also put a. quietus on those who have been claiming that they were far behind the other two teams in ability.

I I I

HEY WERE very much in the picture last night as they came through with their best

effort of the season. They were

skating faster than ever, had a. sys- tematic attack throughout a.nd al- together had a big edge on their opponents. Also they never let up for a. moment and although far ahead starting the third period kept on seeking more counters.

I -I I

ANGERB HAD no alibls to of- fer for the defeat. They real- ized they were beaten by the

better team on the night's play and now that the first skirmish has been decided their sole aim is to came back and take the second en- counter. True, ~at present they are down but by no means are they to be counted out and a mighty stiff task faces last night's winners in the next game. '

HILE RANGERS would not of- fer any excuses for their set- back it should be noted that

the team was not at its accustomed

strength. Ab McKinnon, brilliant

young left winger, was out with a

heavy cold; Bud McEachern saw

but little service due to an injured knee while Levi Blacquiere was

Just recovering from a cold. As a

result the lines had to be juggled

somewhat which would be bound to affect the team's effectiveness. I I I

Lennon Scores Al.‘ Tecumsehs Trounce Stars

(By The Canadian Press)

(By Guardian's Special Wire)

Speedy Owen Lennon added to the lustre that has made him a major league prospect of first rank when he squirmed through for the final score as Tecumsehs walloped Syracuse 5-2 at Lonwn last night. The former Halifax Wolverine played a great game both ways.

Another former Maritimer aided London to victory when Walter Brenneman, with saint-John Beav- ers last season set up a scoring rplay for the veteran charlie "Rab- bit" Mcveigh in the second period. Boyd and Norm Locking with two goals were the other London marks- men.

The last-place Rochester Card- inals scored an upset 2-1 victory over Buffalo at Rochester in the only other International Hockey league game played.

BRADALBANE 3. COMMETS 1

A very fast and interesting game of hockey took place at Bradalbane Rink Saturday evening. February l. when Brsdalbane defeated the highly rated Summer-field Commets. Battling against a heavy wind both teams put up a stubborn contest, backed by a splendid display of net- minding by both goalies.

Commets broke into the scoring in the first period when Jack Mac- Iennan drove the puck in the cor- ner oi the net to beat Newson clean- ly. But in the second period the Bradalbane team led by the mighty Ivan Kennedy notched two counters the first by l-ilckox and the follow- ing by Kennedy. Play. waged back and forth in the final session only to have Kennedy slam in the rub- ber on a solo effort. The final score- wes Bradalbane three, Summerfleid one. The lineups are as follows:

Canadian Hockey Team- Confident

GAMMlSCH-P . Germany. Feb. L-The pro-Olympic fever, thickened. by failing flakes of welcome snow, gripped the twin towns of Garmlsch and Partenkir- chen tonight as more than 1,000 athletes exulted at the prospect oi competition under perfect condit- lions.

The snow had been falling thick- 1y ior almost 24 hours. mini-antec- lng a thick white setting for the opening ceremonies Thursday when Chancellor Hitler officially will in- augurate the games.

Among the last lo make a. belat- ed appearance were the Canadian and United States hockey players. and a. large number oi speed and figure skaters. The American puck- sters found they had drawn Germ- any as their opening opposition on Thursday.

The favored Canadians drew Po- land in the opening round.

The puckmen wearing the Maple Leaf emblem were brimful of con- fidence. Coach Alf Pudas said the players calrr through practice ses- sions at Paris and St. Moritz with- out injury. He described the team as “strong and smart.’

Toronto's well known figure skat- ers, Mrs. Constance Wilson Samuels and her brother, Montgomery Wil- son, have been impressing with their practice twirls. Many are calling them to win the pairs title handily.

Sonja Henie of Norway, and Karl Schaeier ca‘ Austria, still are considered the best bets for the re- spective singles titles, but they are not considered to have an easy task ahead of them. The Ilolonle broth- er and sister-are given a. good chance to finish well up in the

' singles.

White Sax ~ Faced With H 0 I d o u t s

CHICAGO, Feb. 4-4. Louis Com- iskey, rotund owner of Chicago Vlfhite sox, can tell you that money is the root of baseball woes.

Ever since Comiskey sold Al Siro- mons to the world's championship Tigers for $75,000, he has had his trouble. Every club owner in the American league-end the minors —want5 that $75,000 or part 0i it.

Several of his ball players also would like some of it in salary in- creases. As preparations got under- way today for departure to the spring training camp, seven mem- bers oi the Sox failed to return the signed contracts for 1936.
