leadership of the victorious team and many wlllp agree that his outstanding strategy of defensive hockey won him the series. Hall- fax is a well balanced club and should be favor-itu to take the M. M, H. L. title.

The Islanders in their loss of the sezies have nothing to reproach themselves for From the begin- ning of the year. Coach Buckn Trainor was plagued with the diffi- culty of obtaining suitable mater- ial for the Club and when it ap- peared that he had a good player or live within his grasp they were suddenly whisked away from him. Such setbacks would be sufficient to deter one of less fortitude than that possessed by the Islanders Coach who led his team on, as well as off the ice.

To each player who stayed in complete the final games goes the sincere gratitude of Charlottetown fans, and should major hockey be renewed next year. the Islanders will once again be strong contend- f'i'!.

Canadiens' Goalie Cui On Forehead

MONTREAL. (CPI - Montreal Canadians of the National Hockey League dismissed plans to send substitute goalie Jacques Plante back to Buffalo Thursday when Gerry McNeil. the regular net- ,miiider. was cut on the forehead during a workout.

McNeil needed four stitches to close the wound but returned to action after medical attention. He has been out of action for 9. month with an ankle injury.

The Caiiadlcns had planned to send Plante back to Buffalo for the American League playoffs.

Montague To

In one of the most closely eon- tested games of Hockey ever play- ed at the Charlottetown Forum, Milton Hornets came out with the slim margin of A 4-3 score over Montague shmohawks. Milton won the round 7-5 and the Kings-Queens Intermediate "B" Championship.

Montague played s. very aggres- sive type of hockey and with 1 bit of luck on their side might have reversed the score had it not been for the stellar net mind- ing of Milton's goalie, Don' sim. monds. The game was highlight- ed by I. fLstic outbreak in the sec- ond perlod when big Charlie Ready of the Hornets and Shop- herd from Montague, tangled. Both boys were given major pen- alties. In the third period, fire- works broke out when Jimmie Moore was waved to the timers by referee Moe Goodwin. Moore pro- tested vigorously and concluded l-he argument by taking a couple of haymakers at the official; for

this he was banished from the game. Montague was encouraged In

their efforts by the support of a large following of fans from the Eastern Centre who showed by their applause that they were he- hind the team all the way. A mis- understanding occui'ed in the last minute of the game when the

timer inadvertently allowed the clock to continue for five secondsi after a whistle had blown. Thai error was corrected when clock was held for five secondsl after the next face off. However. when the Shmohawks saw that the clock still pointed to the 60 second mark at the end of the game they were of the impression that they had been cheated out of that five seconds and shouts of protest were heard as they left the ice, It may be pointed out that whatever other grounds the Eastern team might have for pro- testing the game. it would certain- ly not be on this point. since the full 60 minutes of hockey was played.

The first period saw some hard body checks handed out by both teams and Milton were the ones to go ahead with two goals by C. Maclman and W. MacFarlane. Montague worn even on the play but the fine goal-tending of Sim- monds in the Milton net kcpt the green shirts off the score sheet.

The Hornets added another marker to their count. at the 6:11 mark of the second when H. Mac- Lean on. a nice play with An- drews, slipped the puck past Mac- Donald. Gerald Criiwys made it 4-0 at 15:58 and Montague got their first goal of the evening when Cudmore and Shepherd com- bined to beat Simmonds who pre- vious to this had been an impene- trable bnrrier in the hard working boys from the East. This goal came at 19:42.

The third period saw the Man- tague team outplay the Hornets and score two unanswered goals Once again the Milton goalie saved his team from losing the round. The Slimohawks attacked time after lime only In be robbed at the goal crease by the agile ne'- mlnder. Their puok carrying; was nice to watch but the wlngmen failed to take advantage nf sev- eral perfect passes laid down In front of the Milton not. After a Drnlonged series of assaults on the Milton citadel, it was I... Shephcrrl who banged the puck behind Sim- monds on a pass from Macbesn at 13:00.", ,minute and eight sec- onds late F. shepherd scored un- assisted.

Fans who wntcherl the game last

night certainly went away well satisfied with in good eveiiim.-'5 entertainment. It was evident

that each player was giving every- thiniz he had for the glory of sev- ing his team win. Such efforts (In not go unnoticed and more en- couragement should be given our locin talent who if given a chance can hold their own with the, best.
