The Frank Aoorn rink last night won the Charlottetown Curling club champion ”,. by defeating the .l.S. MacDonald rink 13-11. They will represent the Club in the British console Trophy piaydown for the provincial championship which gets underway today.

The Acorn rink was extended to the limit to eke out victory. A fighting MacDonald quartet, three brothers and a cousin, after losing the first two ends by a three and four count came back to whittle down the impressive lead and fir.- ally go out ahead in the 10th end by two points. However the Acorn foursome came back for a big three count in the 11th and added an- other one in the 12th to sew-up the all important match.

A large crowd was on hand for the final match of the local series and excitement was high as the team battled evenly in the 8th and 9th ends. There -was drama a-plenty and the tension continued until the final rock was delivered.

Boucher To Be Honored At New York Tonight

NEW YORK. Feb. 13 - (GP) - 'rhey're throwing a "night" for manager Frank Bouoher of the

Rangers tomorrow, at Madison Square Garden. I The fans will give him a new

car; the team a television set. Local hockey writers will chip in a type- writer. These are just a sprinkling of the tokens of friendship pian- ned to honor the 49-year-old Boucher on his 25th season with the Ranger organization.

Tonight "I'll be there" wires still were coming in from those who know and respect him in and out of hockey as well as from his many fans. Bill and Bun cook. Bouchers linemates on the days when he was one of the game's greatest centres, will be on hand. so will Chlng Johnson and Murray Murdoch.

Boucher never has forgotten the original Ranger team that made its debut in the Garden Nov. 16. .1026. against Montreal's Ma.-roons. The genial Ranger manager aintains that "Bill Cook is the reatest right-winger of all time nd should be nominated to Hoc- ey's Hall of Fame."

Boucher was just a slight 142- nder when Rangers launc d eir N.H.L. career by whipp rig he Maroons 1-0. Frank was the ntre between Bill and Bun. He ot into a fight. drew a majcr and as fined 315 by the league. Later e became one of the cleanest layers in hockey history, winning e Lady Byng Trophy seven sea- ns in a row.

Cook scored the lone Ranger goal in the Ranger inaugural on an assist from Bun. That season the Blueshi-rts won the N.l-1.1.. title but lost in the play-cffs. The next season they took the Stanley

Cup.

Boucher and the Cooks went on to become one of hockeyls greatest fbrward-lines.

Bill now is coach of Denver in the United States Hockey League while Bun pilcts Cleveland in the American League.

Boucher. the last member of the 19E6' team ktill around the Garden, has been player, farm coach. scout. coach and manager during his quarter-century of Ranger connec- tion.

Of the other Ranger "originals" Johnson. the 60-minute defence- man. now is in the construction business in Washington, D.C.: Murdoch now master - minds an amateur club en the Pacific Coast. sMurdoch centred the second Ranger line with Billy Boyd, now dead. on the right wing and Paul Thompson, later coach of Chicago Black Hawks. at left.

Hal Wlnkler. goalie in the first game (borne Chabot took over soon after) owns a fox farm in Man- itoba. Taffy Abel, who with John- son. formed the regular defence, operates a big summer resort in sault Ste. Marie, Mich.

Spare defenceman in that open- ing game was Reggie Mscxay. now a Calgary business man.

Leo Bourgault, who was to join the Club in the third game as de. fenceman, is a. Quebec tavern own- er.

Lester Patrick, who coached the

Blues until Boucher took over in 1911. owns and operates Victoria, B.C.. in the Pacific Coast Hockey League.

There may be a tear in Boucheru: eye tomorrow night but it will be for a bygone era in big-league hoc-

Local hockey followers will get a chance to see their first Intercol- legiate competition here this sea- son on Friday night when the Saint Dunstanla University puck- sters tangle with saint Thomas University in the final game of their home and home, total goal series in N.B.-P.E.1. semi-final play. The local University boys, coached by A..l. McAdam are trail- ing in the series by one goal hav- ing lost a close 5-4 verdict to St Thomas in the series opener last week.

I O D

The N.B.-P.E.l'. title is being decided in two playoff sections this season, with University of New Brunswick and Mount Allison Un- iversity meeting in the other semi- final section on the same home and home, total goal basis. The winners of the two sections will meet in the finals in a similar scr- ies to decide. the two-Province champion who will meet later with the Nova Scotia winners for the Maritime Intercollegiate champion- ship.

. . .

Rev. G. A. MacDonald, sharing the coaching duties with Mr. Mc- Adam. former Saints' defence stal- wart and coach of their hockey and rugby teams for many years. have had more than a big job on their hands in building up an en- tirely new team around about four of last year's regulars. With only Jim Ayers. Will Houde, Joe Schree- nan and Ray Delage forming the nucleus of the team, the two coaches have made a fine job of weaving in eleven new players, eight of them freshmen. to form a well-balanced team that gave Saint Thomas more than their share of stiff opposition in the first game. and are expected to give them an even tougher battle here on Friday night.

0 I 0

Although not eligible for inter- collegiate play last season, Cliff Bernard and Stan Deighen per- formed with Saints City League entry last year, and are two of the eleven new members who are add- ing strength and scoring power to the saints forward secticn this year as eligible intercollegiate compet- itors. Judging from the result of their first meeting, the two varsity squads should come up with plen- ty of good hockey and close play. and fans. who will be having a.lull in Big Four competition for the remainder of the week, will no doubt be turning out to witness the boys in action.

I O C

One sees a lot of hockey matches ice shows, etc. that provide an ex- cellent evening's entertainment. but it is doubtful if local fans have witnessed anything funnier or more entertaining than the Broom Ball match put on at the Forum on Monday night between the L.P.U. and the City Employees. Staged as an added attraction for the Island- ers-Moncton Big Four hockey clash to give local sport followers :1 little extra entertainment before the main contest got---underway. the show proved to be a hilarious affair that was worth the price of ad- mission in itself.

. - .

Armed with an implement that is known to every housewife or ex- servlceman who has done his turn at fatigues, a. plain everyday house broom. the boys battered one an- other, slipped and slid for--posses- sion of an elusive basketball with the intention of directing "9 "110 the opposing net. At least that wus the purpose. although that only

They will make their final show- ing here Before playoff -time, which could be the last of the season if they lcse out in the semi-finals to Halifax. on Monday. Feb. 28th.

Saint John Beavers To Meet Islanders Tonight

Both teams are expected to be at full strength for the contest.

With far more "downs" than there -were "ups". it was a panic from start to finish and although there will no doubt be a lot of play- ers carrying out their duties for the next couple, of days at the docks and city Hall in a somewhat bruised condition, it is doubtful if they are suffering with any more aches and pains than some of the spectators who are sore from laughing., one could never put down on paper the amusing gym- nastics that took place during the game, it had to be seen to be really appreciated.
