Major Rogers stated that arrange- ments could have been made to play the game at a later date this moniih. but that the club did not iihink it advisable so close to play- off time, and that it was doubt- ful if iihe Islanders would play any more exlliibition games this sea- son. Major Tom released the infor- mation from his home where he has been confined for the past couple of days with a slight case of influenza and expects to be laid up for a few more days before he will be out and around again.

The victory sends their league leadership back up to 1'! points over second place Halifax saint Mary's and are now only two wins away from clinching first place in the regular schedule. Islanders definitely outclassed an understrength ll-man Beavers squad for two periods to pile up a 5-1 advantage and broke even with Saint John in the closing session witlra marker each to hold a tidy 4-gcsl scoring advantage. Bruno "Red" Favero and Marcel Clements were missing from the Is- landers' roster while Jack Hahn. Jack Thaler, Manny McIntyre and Vlo Jackson were not on the Beav- ers' lineup. coach has Ramsay. however. donned the blades to bring the Beavers up to playing strength and came up with an im- preasive performance for his team and potted one of their "two tallies. Defenceman George Mcbagan and Wes "Buckle" Trainer shared the polntgettlng honors with three points each, Mcl.o,gan's on two goals and an assist and Ti-ainor one goal and two assists. other goal- getters for Islanders were Walter Pawlyshyn. Mac Benton and Hub Beaudry with Bathgate. Travis, Mon-ow. Cecil Dowling, Beaudry and Johnny Horeck also collecting assists. Paul Plats came up with the leading effort for Beavers when he potted their first goal unassisted and assisted Ramsay on the other. Goallcs Hal Gordon and Dennis Brodeur came up with more than their share of pretty -work on the night's play, with Brodcur being particularly outstanding in the sec- ond period and Gordon really hot in the closing session. Opens scoring Walter Pawlyahyn opened the first period scoring at the 2:14 mark when he teamed up with Bethgaio and Trainer in a power attack around the net while Bridle Bolan was serving a penalty for roughing. Trainer sent the some to 2-0 at 7:46 when he slapped home Morrow's pass during a ham- mering attack around the saint John cage. Plat: fired home Beav- ers' first marker on a nice effort at 12:34 when he intercepted a pass by Trainer at the Islanders blue- line to break right in on Gordon all alone and beat him cleanly with a hard shot. . Applying the pressure right from the start of the second session Is- landers made it really tough for Brodour in the saint John cage, who came. up with some brilliant saves in the first five minutes to kick aside eight hard, close-in shots. But the pressure was too much for the slick-working custod- ian when Islanders got to bin for two goals in the next two minutes of play. and again in the closing minutes of the period. 'l'wo coming off the stick of Mcbagan. McLagsn notched up the first Idth a driving. screened shot from just inside Beavers blueline dur- lng a gang attack that came from a faccoff to the left of the saint John cage.
