Little Charlie, a five-foot-six acrobat, had to make only 25 saves as his teammates bom- barded the visitors with 36 shots, scoring twice in the sec- ond period to win 2-0. The Rangers, who have picked up only one tie in their last seven games, must be getting accustomed to such treatment from the Canadiens. Five of Montreal's 15 victories this season have come at New York's expense, as did Hodge's first shutout in New York Oct. 13 Goals by Dave Balon and rookie Yvon Cournoyer were the high points of Wednesday's lack- lustre contest. Bobby Rousseau assisted on both. scramble at the four - minute mark and Cournoyer provided insurance when his 45-foot blue- line shot beat Rangers goalie Jacques Plante at 7:46. Plante's former teammates) gave him a tough time in his first appearance this season on| Montreal ice. He made at least 10 outstanding saves, par- ticularly in the third period when Canadiens turned on the pressure.

Limestone City last night, Whitby Dunlops came up with another fine team effort to gain a 4-4 stand off, with the powerful Kingston Frontenacs, in a regular interlocking league fixture. The point moves Dunlops into sole possession of fifth spot in the league standings. The "Dunnies", who were late in getting started, found them- selves behind the eight ball as the 15 second mark of the first period. However, their fighting spirit carried them on to their single- pointer. EARLE SCORES FOUR Ron Earle was the big noise of the night for the Frontenacs, as he scored all four goals, two in the first and one each in the second and third periods. His fourth goai of the night gave the home team their tying goal, as "Dunnies" had taken a 4-3 lead with less than three and a half minutes to go. The tying goal of the game came with "Dunnies" a man short as Lastic was cooling his heels on a penalty from the 14.57 mark. The scoring for the Ontario County team was well-divided, which once again shows the bal- anced power of the Davie-man- aged team. Captain' Brian Fletcher, Mike Taylor, Rickey Gay and husky Jerry Dionne, each blinked the light once for) t.e Tiremen. | Whitby 'Dunnies' ingston The game was a real. dandy all the way and drew the largest crowd of the season, over 700 fans, It was a fast, clean game and the results were most pleas- ing to both the Whitby fans, as well as to the home town fans. JUST TALKING -- The "'Dun- nies" do not have a home game this week, so are idle now until Tuesday night, when they travel to tangle with the North York Maple Leafs. Whitby plays at home on New Year's afternoon, at 2.30, against St. Michael's College Buzzers At this time on behalf of the manager, coach, the players and truly, we would like to extend to our fans and readers, the very best for the festive season.
