_ Mets Play é Islanders in North Teams Keyed Up _ for Lead; Locals Broken Victoria’s Jinx BY LEO H. LASSEN TH the leader ship of Coast puck race at stake Seattle and Victoria will i - night in the tsk and city in the first “ercocial” me of the sew on. Both teams will have their best lineups on the ice again, altho Bob Rowe is still a bit un- der the weather with his injured ribs still with him, and “Moose” Johnson may go on the lee with a headache after the bad wallop Rowe banded him on the root the other night But otherwise hoth clubs will be sitting pretty for the gong. With Vancouver having lest four > © g@raight gumes it's beginning to { Wook like the race is narrowing ') "gown to Victoria and Seattle, so to- pight’s game will go a long ways towards giving the winner. an edge in the place for the playoff. Seattle's forward line worked much better the other night with Frank Foystop on left wing and dim Riley on right wing. Both are Jett handed shots, which ls quite a bandicap, but Riley seems able to cut across ice fairly well in solo rushes from the right mde, altho bis work on close shots in front of the net on the right side are bound to be under a handicap. The big fellow seems to be hit- ting his stride again, he shot both goals against Victoria Wednesday, his last shot being a brilliant piece ‘of solo work. Bp safle <0, PENALTY RINGS AT # FEET The penalty rings in all three fee ‘arenas in the league have been moved to within 40 feet of the neta. “Ip all the games played so far "Tommy Dunderdale is the only one man in Vancouver. The new rule hould be a good one if the, right nee is after determined. Pete doon thinks that 37 fret is the feal distance. The clubs will ex: | periment with the distance untti the chances of scoring will be about one in five. -RICKEY'S OFFENSIVE IMPROVES Roy Rickey'’s offensive Gases @own the ice are one of the fea- tures in Seattle's play this year. He uses his weight well and he is skating much faster than ever ang then, too, be is stickhandling like & champion. A couple of years ago Rickey was one of the most awk: Ward players in the loop, but con- stant play has polished his style until he is now ranked as one of the best defense meg in the game. VETERANS HOLDING VICTORIA UP Most of the talk about Victoria's guccess this year has been about “Moose” Jobnson’s wonderful ‘worn. but the fans musn't overlocok ‘Tommy Dunderdale, another vet eran, who is playing the best hockey on the forward line right now for the islanders. Dunderdale has a wicked shot and he’s skating well one bad tendency has been ‘o play the man more than puck, using his skates and stick tn dan- gerous fashion. Hockey is no pink tea game, but there's no necessity for unnecessary roughness. HARRIS CAN PICK UP SPEED Coast hockey fans almort te a man five Frank Foyston the edge when it comes to stickhandling, but Smokey Harris, Vancouver's left wing. must be rated as the lead @r among the boys when it comes te picking up speed on the steel blades. and the next minute he is off like a streak. He's a great scorer and a @angerous man at al! times.

It was some wallop, too, as it could be heard all over the place. While some came to the defense of Rowe in stating that Johnson had poked him in his injured ribs on a previous trip down the ice, The Star can find no excuse for the dangerous club swinging that Rowe did. It’s no secret that hockey is not a parlor game, but the spectators like action and not rowdy playing. It is lucky for the game that no serious accident de- ser Siac the foul blow. we drew a 10-minute penalty, which is only a dro in the bucket for what he denrvek. r ' The league is going to a lot of trouble to perfect a penalty shot to discourage tripping.
