COURIER FREEMAN, POTSDAM, N.Y., THURSDAY, NOV. 19, 1959 5 Tech Skaters Slam Montreal 6-3; Face Toronto Friday Night Mel Tomalty Leads Attack With 3 Goals Capt. Mel Tomalty, scoring leader of last year's Clavkson College hockey squad, \lit the lamp\ three times Saturday night as the Golden Knights tucked away a 6-3 win over Montreal U. in the 1959-60 open- tr at Clarkson Arena. Jomalty, who popped the puck Inro the cage 24 times last Win- ter, scored once in the second period and added a pair in the final 20 minutes in leading the lads of Len Ceglarski to vic- tory before a near-capacity trowd. In claiming their fourth win In five meetings with the Mon- treal collegians since the series ^ras inaugurated back in '55-56, tPf Knights proved themselves to be surprisingly superior in all departments. They were much more aggressive than in last week's encounter with the Alum- ni, passed well, and did a real good job on defense. Although Goalie Bill Arm- itrong has had many busier nights in the nets, the Sarnia, Ont. youngster nevertheless gave kjgood account of himself, and •t times flashed some of the brilliance that has earned him recognition as one of the top net- minders in the East. Clarkson scored two goals in each of the three periods and enjoyed a 5-1 lead early in the final 20 minute seg- ment. Sharing the scoring lau- rels with Tomalty were Wing- Iftn Bill Little and Defense- man Tom Sheppard, both vet- erans, and Sophomore Wing- man Prank Schmeler. The visitors were first to break into the scoring column when team captain and center Maurice Duhaime took a pass from first line winger Marcel Landreville and rifled a four- foot shot by Armstrong after only 48 seconds of action. Also Rating an assist on the play was Defenseman Gaston Germain. Stung by this unexpected devel- opment, the Tech skaters went ewarming after Montreal Goalie Pierre Schooner and kept the pressure on the visitors through- out the period. Aiding the Clark- ton cause during the first eight minutes of play were three pen- alties against Montreal. Clarkson's Tom Sheppard •de it a new game at 8:43 of the opening period when he let one go from the blue line at Schooner, who was screened and never saw the puck. As- sists on the play went to To- malty and Dick Sledziewski. Montreal was a man down when the Knights forged into the lead to stay at the 12-min- ute mark. Tomalty got started O^L his \hat trick\ when he limped in a rebound from about eight feet out. Schooner had to handle 13 shots in the opening period while Armstrong had only two saves. Tomalty got his second goal and made it 3-1 for Clarkson after six and a half minutes of the second period. He swooped in on Schooner from the left, got off his shot from about 10 feet away that hit the post, then reet re™! remhed out and flicked the puck into the opposite corner as he fell face down on the ice. Tech continued to carry the fight to Montreal in this sec- ond period and upped their lead to three goals when the opposition was shy one play- er. Goal No. 4 was credited to Bill Little, who beat Schooner from close range. Tomalty and fJroipard earned assists. Montreal, which had been on ice only a week before Satur- day's game, made things a bit more interesting for Armstrong in the second 20-minute seg- ment, firing 12 shots his way Without success. Schooner had leven saves. The tempo of the Montreal attack picked up as the third period got underway and only a fine defensive per- formance by the Knights in the first five minutes kept the visite- ors from closing the gap. Tomalty managed to register his third tally of the night at the 7:02 mark to give Clarkson a 6-1 edge. Montreal persistent ef- forts to get back into the game paid off at 14:09 when Arm- strong ventured away from the cage. Bill moved out to handle a feeble shot by Claude Duguay, arUwas down on the ice to the right of the goal when Guy Dumoulin pushed the puck past him to make it 5-2. Just 4:31 later, Clarkson tal- lied its sixth and final goal I with Frank Schmeler drilling the puck past Schooner from a distance of 10 feet. Also having a hand in the scoring play were Bob (Soupy) Campbell and Dick Sledzic- Montreal closed out the scor- ing at 19:56 with Dumoulin get- ting his second goal of the per- iod, a fifteen footer that Arm- strong couldn't come up with. Schooner had a total of 31 saves for the night and Armstrong 23. The Knights return to the Arena ice Friday when they'll again clash with another sextet item north of the border. AFTER THE PUCK — Closing in on the puck at last Saturday's hockey game which Clarkson won 6 to 3 are from left to right Frank Schmeler and Richard Sledziewski both of Clarkson, and Claude Duguay of Montreal. Guarding the goal is Mon- treal's Pierre Schooner and on the far right is Clarkson Bob (Soupy) Campbell. MIXING IT UP — Hockey players mix it up in one of the many small scraps that broke out on the ice in Saturday night's game. The Clarkson team, which led the Montreal sextet during most of the game, went on to win by a score of 6 to 3. Golden Knights Looking For Second Triumph With one impressive win under its belt, Clarkson Tech's hockey team will go after victory num- ber two of the season here Fri- day night at the Clarkson Arena when it hosts the University of Toronto's famed hockey team, \The Blues.\ The Golden Knights notched their initial win at the expense of another Canadian foe, the University of Montreal, 6-.'i Fri- day night on home ice, and looked very effective offensively and defensively doing it. How- ever, things may be a little tougher Friday, as Toronto brings its usual deep, balanced squad to town. Coach Ceglarski reports that he has no major changes for this Friday's contest and was gener- ally pleased with the showing his charges made against Mon- treal. He said they fought hard and took advantage of opportun- ities. It was the opinion of many that the team, very weak in depth, could play this way all season with good material on the ice if no injuries occur to present personnel. Friday's contest will most likely find Mel Tomalty, Clark- son's ace center, flanked by Bill Little and Mike McCann on the first line for the Gol- den Knights with Soupy Camp- bell and Dick Sledziewski on the wing attack and Frank Schmeler in the center of the second line. Ceglarski's third line will con- sist of Ken Gardiner at center and Tom Heffernan and Eon Lestan at wings. This leaves Tom Sheppard, Jack Graves, and Joe Legari to alternate on de- fense. One defenseman, Jim Baker, dropped off the team last week and Bill Thompson, a sophomore, has been out with a bad leg. Despite the fact that Toronto lost ten outstanding players from last year's squad that beat Clarkson 4-2 in Buffalo, the Blue and White will still bring a team of some 22 men to North- ern New York state this week to meet Clarkson here Friday and take on St. Lawrence Saturday.
