Royals moved into the final by eliminating Sherbrooke St. Fran- cis 3-1 in games with a sparkling 6-0 shutout victory here last night. Winger Jackques Locas starred along with goalie Gerry McNeil as he flashed the red light thrice be- hind Sherbrooke goalie Hal Bare- foot. Barefoot, playing a great game despite the score against him, was also beaten by Tod Campeau twice and diminutive Pete Morin once. A great disappointment to the Sherbrooke fans was the ineffective- ness of the famed all-Negro line of Mannie McIatyre, Ossie and Herbie Carnegie, held scoreless for the past two games. Between them they scored seven goals as St. Francis won their only game of the series 10-8 in Montreal.

Both teams went through last minute workouts today in prepara- tion for their final game. Stam- peders, holding a 20-11 edge in goals for and against during the four games of the series to date, were expected to concentrate on a smooth-working offensive tonight which would give their speedy for- wards a chance to roll in on the Flyers' defence. Flyers were likely to seek a small goal advantage and then fall back on strong defensive tactics.
