A torrid third period attack that netted three goals gave Chick Williams’ blue and white clad Royals the City

junior hockey title and W. R.

Saturday night when for the second night in a row they turned back a fighting Abegweit team that never knew when rt was beaten. The score was 4 to l as the winners chalked up their third win of the series but the encounter was much closer than the above score would appear to in-

dicate.

LEA CUE TITLE§

Aitken Trophy at the Forum

Score Three Goals in Third

Sighting desperately with their backs to the wall the losing team more than held their own in the first two periods. Holding their op- ponents in check they fought back on even terms in the second period by- equalizing the Royals first per- iod goal and so smart was their performance that it appeared to many that the series would be forced into a fifth_ and deciding game. But during the all-important third session the new champions showed their worth. The men of “Little King" came back from the shadows of defeat t4; take the play sway from the Abbies. Before the ten minute mark had been reached

goals by Whalen and Jay to clinch the game and title. Abbies sent wave after wave of attacks racing h for the last half of the period but it was no go. Penalties to them in a bruising, rough final five min- utes led to the Royals final score and put an end to their great hid for a playoff position in the Island piayduwns. .

The game was easily the hardest fought of the series. Playing s. semi-defensive brand o! hockey the Abbies matched the Royals in speed and wit for two periods. Royals got the only goal of the first session on Carmody's weaving dash down the left boards as the Abbias missed two glorious chances. During the second Abbies evened it up on s Grant to Dowling play. incidentally the smartest goal of the game, but the greater exper- ience of the new champions told heavily in the final frsme and sf- ter the champions had scored ex- actly thirty seconds alter the start they were in corrunand.

Trophy Presented

Immediately after the game the beautiful W. R. Aitken Trophy was prmented to Captain Everett Jay by Mayor P. W_ Turner. l-lls Wor- ship heartily congratulated the ‘Players and. Coach “Chick” Wil- illm! 0n their splendid victory. and expressed the hope that they would go far in their coming playdowns. Mayor Turner also congratulated the losers on the splendid battle they 1W1 Walled throughout the season and expressed the hope that they would be back again next sca- son, bigger and better than ever.

Mr. W. R. Aitken. donor of the trophy and president of the League, also congratulated both winners and losers. "He had enjoyed the games immensely," the speaker stated and was already looking forward to next season when he 31013841 the league would be more successful than ever.

Abbies Min Chances

‘Getting back to the game. In a close-checking opening ten min- utes neither team could get within close scoring range but when Dowling was waved to the penalty timers for hooking Royals rushed five men to the attack. They stormed inside the Abbie line but McAleer although mighty busy. turned the drives aside and the of- fender- returned to ease the press- ure. For the next three hunutes neither team was dangerous but just after the lines had changed Csrmody sent the champions into the lead. Skating fast down the left boards the Royals’ left winger weaved in over the Abbie line. Prom about forty feet out he let drive and the puck squeezed through lvlcAleers pads to bulge the twines.

Led by the tricky Vince Grant Abbies were breaking up Royals’ plays to counter attack dangerous- ly. Twice Grant fed Dowiing beau- tiful passes after drawing the de- fence but both times no score rs- sulted. On the first attempt Lan- gillo came out to make a brilliant. save end the secondtlme the Abbie winger shot high over the cage. The undying was rumd unanim-

swarmed and

Abbies put on the

however-holder; ms

body. The score came nine min- utes and forty-three seconds after the start of the period.

The pace stepped up consider- B-bll’ alter the score and Royals pressed hard with Andrew sewing a penalty but the score remained unchanged with McAleer robbing Whalen; Jay and Blanchard with sprawling saves inside the crease. As the pace qulckened feeling be- came evident and less than s. min- ute before the end of the period Cudmore and Andrew drew penal- ties for~roughing that left both teams short a man.

Royals in Command

Royals took little time in gaining "19 "filler hand as the crucial third Period got underway. Abbies mak- ing the first raid were repulsed. Cudmore scooped up the rubber and just. at centre ice passed to Jay. Tearing to the line Jay passed short to Whaien and "Widder" af- ter taking a few strides fired hard and accurately to the upper left hand corner of the Abbie cage, the shot beating the Abbie goalie cleanyl. Pressing determlnedly Royals gave their opponents no chance to get set and Abbies had close calls as McClintick. Jay and Blanchard skated into close scoring range. Pound of the Abbies drew a penalty for elbowing but while he was off it was his team that had the closest scoring chance, as a Fusnnlgen so Robertson play just missed clicking by inches.

With the clock just at ten min- utes Royals went into a two goal lead on an unassisted goal by Jay. Ev stickhsndled through from centre and then screened his shot cleverly from in front of a defend- ing player and again McAieer was forced to bend as the disc sailed fast and true to the unprotected corner of the cage. The score was the signal for the Abbies to send every man up_ Play was all inside the Royals line for nearly three minutes when Jay broke through with the puck. Bsckchecking fur- iously Andrew overtook him but in so doing held the Royal player to draw a two minute sentence. With the pressure aged and having the advantage in n power the win- ners took full advantage of the break and after a series of raids Mcliennan banged the puck into the Abbie goal as players milled around the cage.

There was little better than five minutes and s. half to go at the time of the score but in the 300 odd seconds left it was action plus. An- drew had just. returned when Ab- bies Were left shorthanded again as s. result of Flsnnigarrs slashing penalty. Again the Royals sought more counters and their efforts in- creased two-fold when Kelly took a place beside his mate in the "coop." But there was no further scoring although Abbles were hard pressed as the winners slammed shot after shot. at the Abbie cage.
