ht PAGE EIGH1 \ THE GoriAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1928 OSHAWA WINS SENIOR LACROSSE CHAMPIONSHIP OF ONTARIO Climax to Sensational Season Seen - in Brampton Saturday When Oshawa Wins Round For Ontario Title 7 to 4 Local Team Loses Game 4 to 3 Before Crowd of 5.000 Victory People But Wins R Ontario Championship to Because of 4t0 0 Victory Brings First Senior Ever Come to Oshawa -- Fastest Game Seen in Many Years (By Staff Reporter) An Oshawa team, after many yea the highest pedestal that any team rs of trying, has at last achieved can reach in Ontario, the winning of a senior championship of this pravinee, This pinnacle of achieve- ment was played for and won Saturday when Oshawa General Mo- tors' senior lacrosse team met Brampton Excelsiors in Brampton and although they lost the game by the close 4 to 3 margin, they won the coveted championship by virtue of the 4 to 0 score estab- lished between these two teams the Saturday previous, here in Oshawa, to give the local team the ehampionship by an aggregate of 7 goals to 4, The last and deciding game in Brampton Saturday was attended by 3,000 people, the largest erowd to see an amateur lacrosse game in the history of Ontario, Eveng more 80 than in the first game of the serigs played here, this contest had all the aspects of the champion: ship battle it' was, The two teams were keyed to their highest pitch and played throughout a superlative brand of lacrosse which even from a spectacular point of view, was one of the finest pieces of the national game which has ever been seen for many years in these parts of the country, Playing a finished style of lacroase with abundant strength in every de- partment, Oshawa, even though they lost in Brampton, displayed that they were the rightful winners of the chanfpionship, and worthy hold- ers of the title, First Year in Semior Series Oshawa's first year in senior la- crosse, the team's success which cul- minated with the winning of the championship on Saturday has been brilliant and even romantic, Had anyone imagined about May 24 that on October 6 of this year, Oshawa General Motors would win the senior lacrosse championship of Ontario, it would immediately have been re- garded as a considerable stretch of the imagination, Yet such is now the case and there is no one who now doubts the true value of the team, From a pick-up combination of players, no four of whom had ever played together before, to a cham- pionship aggregation is indeed a noteworthy and praiseworthy trans formation, Yet such again, is the case of what has happened with the Oshawa team, No greater enthusiasm among ths players, no greater faithfulness to the games and to practices nor any greater love for team play has ever existed than it has this year in the ranks of the Oshawa team, and there in lies a goodly reason for the suc- cess which has followed it. Making every move count while in a game and every minute worth while while in a practice, there is, to some, little wonder why the team is now at the top of the lacrosse ladder in this old lacrosse province of Ontario, This victorious effort crowns the activities of the earlier days of la- crosse in Oshawa when some of the well known figures in local business today took an active and successful interest in the game only to see it die out for several years, to see it, however, be revived again in Osh- awa a few years ago and now to see from the sidelines, the championship effort of an Oshawa team, Many of these men were among the miost ar- dent of supporters in Brampton on Saturday and their whole-hearted support was especially appreciated by the team. Team in Mourning The Oshawa team went out on the fleld Saturday with black cloth rib- bons pinned to their left arms, as a means of mourning condolence to Jack and Pete Walsh, members of the team who were absent from the line-up owing to the death of their sister, known to the team simply as "Miss Walsh," Her death coming at this time, was indeed a sad one and the absence of these two boys from the lineup made a noticeable dif- . ference from the combination which had been working all through the season, Yet despite this, the Osh- awa team went out and played sup- erlative' lacrosse to win, and under these added difficulties, their victory was all the more sweet, _ A Summary of the Game "The game in Brampton, which was exciting from the very frst, saw Brampton take the check-off to start the first quarter, and a score from them followed after only three min- utes of play, This piece of rapid work would have tended to throw most any team off their stride but not so the Oshawa twelve, Follow- ing the check-off from Brampton's goal, which was scored by Beatty, another rush, him except the goal temder, rushed almost the entire length of the field with four Excelsior men hot on his heels, to score a goal by putting a nice shot past Large after he had got close in, It was nothing short of a thrilling and spectacular goal such as is seldom seen in lacrosse, Scoring was again suspended, fol- lowing this, until after about fifteen minutes of play in the third quarter when Brampton after strenuous pressing for some time evened up the score, 2-2, when Burton on a pass from Kendell while close in, gave Shannon no chance to make a save, Three Goals in Fourth Anxious minutes claimed the game in the last quarter and in the fever for getting goals, Brampton scored two and Oshawa one, Two unexpect- ed occurrences happened during the excitement, the first being when Pat Shannon, the Oshawa net guardian, was given a two minute penalty for slashing, The next occurred after Kelley Degray had scored a smart goal for Oshawa when in stopping a shot from Farr, Pat Shannon scooped the pellet over his shoulder and as luck would have it, the ball went right into the very net he was trying to protect, , This tied the score, 3-all, and then with about four minutes to go, Jennings scored Brampton's last goal, to win the game for the home team but to give the championship to Oshawa by a comfortable and decisive three-goal margin, Penalties, mostly of a minor na- ture throughout the game, were the fewest in number of any game played for some time, This showed if noth- ing else both that it was a clean con: test and that both teams went on the fleld determined to play clean la- crosse and to stay on the field where they would be of more benefit than on the penalty bench, Oshawa in particular adhered to this and only suffered from three penalties during the game, against Brampton's five, Whole Team Good Team play was the key note in Oshawa's victory, The passing of the Motor City team almost seemed reduced to a fine art on Saturday, so accurate, so timely and so unselfish it was at all times, All the other departments of the game were also demonstrated to a marked degree. Pat Shannon in goal turned in an- other almost miraculous game in the nets in this affair and showed that although the oldest member of the team, he is one of the liveliest, Teddy Reeve, although he spent the night previous returning from the World Series in New York, was again the mainstay and the field general, as it were, of the team. He is one boy that uses his head to help his team- mates in addition to being able to take care of all and sundry that hope to endanger Shannon, Shepley, one of the youngest play- ers on the team, has of late been earning praise and popularity where- ever he has played, and well dem- onstrated why this is the case, on Saturday. He is fast, a good passer and a clean but effective checker, and what else is essential, it is asked, for a good player? Always hard workers and very consistent, Norve Hubbell, Smithson and Red Spencer, the three defence men, seem to have much in common in that they play an import- ant part in every victory the team turns in, yet every time they just seem to fall outside the class which figures more in the limelight. It's the steady, dependable men who are pot so much in the limelight that are just as much a part of a cham- pionship team, however, as any of the others, McGrath, a fast rupner and an ideal center, served, as he always does, as both a game however but relies more almost | feeding the players on the home posi- tions. This he does to perfection and bas been, as a matter of fact, all Charlie Barron, taking Jack Walsh's place and moving up from the ag part in is defence w. coming defence territory to Bert |B "|McLean bulging the twine. break up a play and send the ball to the other end of the field. Chuck ballcarrying activities, also made a considerable tontribution to the de- fensive work of the team and assist- ed in breaking up numerous attacks before they reached the defence area. "Toots White Shines Toots White was continually in the limelight and added the finishing touches to both a splendid game and most successful season when he made his sensational gallop down the field to score Oshawa's second goal of the encounter, It was a beauty, and there's no other word for it. Thep again, the subs, M. Whyte and oke" Fox couldn't be over- looked. They proved an excellent re. lief to either defence or home play- ers and together, figured in a goodly portion of the game. Art Blook, his first senior game of the season and in fact of all time, was almost hon- ored, as it were, by being used as the third substitute. ' George Munro, seldom mentioned in the papers, but the manager of the team, had about as much to do with the victory as any of the play- ers, His able direction and advice all the way through the game, and also before the game, helped the men out on the field to an unestimable de- gree and served to give them confi. dence all the way through, And so the championship was play- ed and won, and Oshawa is today the official senior amateur lacrosse champions of Ontario, Oshawa City Lose To Highlanders 401In Final Here The city entertained = the 48th Highlanders and came out at the wrong end, finishing with a score of four to mome against them on Saturday afternoon at Alexandra Park. The game opened with pres- sure by the home team and during the first tem minutes came near scoring om several occasions. The Highlanders in their efforts to save their goal were putting in some hefty tackling and ome of these caught F. Sturch, who was carried off the field. The City team, left with ten men, seemed to be disorganized and the Highlanders gradually got on top. The first goal came with the home backs appealing for off- side, The second, about five mrin- utes from the interval, was mis- |} timed by the goalie. After the interval, the Highland- ers had the edge on the play and scored twice but the City put in some determined onslaughts, .but luck was against them. The last five minutes was all Oshawa, and in a melee in front of the goal a visiting back handled, The result- ant penalty was not improved up- on, Altho the Highlanders were valued for a win on the day's play, the compulsory absence of F. Sturch accounted for this onesided defeat, The teams lined up as follows: Oshawa City--King, Harris and Lappin, Carey, Muir and Currie, Dunstall, Sturch, Saxby, Cunliffe and McKellar, 48th. Highlanders McLeod, Christie and Frost, Hunt, Barrow and Glisple, Slater, Bunting, Boyd, Slater and Hunter, G.M.C.

Both sides showed a 'determination from the first, bul Hamilton got the "breaks" and now advance to meet Toronto Scot- tish for the Ontario Cup Champion. ship. Curious as it may seem, all the goals were scored in the first per- fod when all bounds were broken and both teams, especially Hamil- ton, seemed to be travelling at 'break-neck speed, Great goal tend- ing by Mosher in the Hamilton nets probably saved the day for the Thistles although the work from the goalie to'the forwards was all of a high order, In the first half, Thistles paid an immediate visit to the Oshawa goal, but were quickly checked ap and Oshawa responded with a smart combination rush which ended in Sathrang heading over the top of the net to miss a goal by a matter of inches. Splendid goal tending by Mosher right after this saved two more almost certain tallies while when two of the Thistles' de- fenders miss-kicked, Dougall had the misfortune of shooting wide in front of an open goal, A barassing time followed for the Oshawa defence when the This- tles staged an attack which lasted for nearly five minutes and which culminated, finally, with Red Me- Donald taking a long shot from the wing and completely fooling Haworth for the first tally of the ame, With the score 1 to 0 in Ham- ilton's favor, Oshawa staged a desperate attack and a great save by the Thistle goalie saved an equalizer only about two minutes later. Thistles cleared their de- fence, however, apd, making a* quick break-away, went further nto the lead when Leslie scored after receiving a perfect pass from McLean across the goal-mouth, Over-anxiousness on Oshawa's part spelt another goal for Hamil- ton when in 2 mix-up in front of the net, Leslie came out first best, and immediately booted the ball into the netting for his team's third counter, An apparently wrong decision from the referee af this stage added to the turmoil from the spectators, a goal kick In- stead of a corper, being awarded to Oshawa. This made little dif- ference to Thistles, however, about eight minutes from the end of the period, they taking the ball for an- other visit down the field, with Oshawa at last got into the dead ctntre, which was indeed mc- claimed as 2 beautiful piece of work. It was Oshawa's only goal sending through their fifth goal, Munro scoring. With the score standing 5 to 1 in Hamilton's favor, curious as it may seem, the entire second half of the game was played without any further score. Osrawa' tried and tried again but were unable to break through the Thistles' de- fence or succeeding in that event, they then would meet with failure' against Mosher's phewomenal play- ing, A dozen times if they were once, Oshawa seemed certain of scoring, but at the last minute, something would happen to deny them the opportunity, Every ex- pedient in their whole bag of tricks was tried hy the Oshawa men but of no avail, and the period ended with the 5 to 1 scort which was es- tablished in the first half, still holding good. The line-ups were: Thistles: -- Mosher, R. Lodge, Craig, McLean, Crawford, T, Lodge, McDonald, Munro, Dewar, Laurie, Leslie, Oshawa -- Haworth, Conner, Boyd, Cregg, Cole, Hurst, Dougall, Torrance, Sathrang, Lobban, Me- Kean, Referee--P, Evans, Oshawa Collegiate Divide Rugby Bill With Peterboro Senior Team Wins Here 7 to 1While Juniors Lose in Peterboro 5 to 0 -- Senior Team Now on Top of the League With Two Victor- ies and No Defeats With the senior team winning here by a 7 to 1 score and the junior team losing in Peterboro by a 5 to 0 count, Oshawa Collegiate's rugby teams broke even on the day with Ii Collegiate, in the respective junior and senior divisions in which these schools are grouped, The senior victory here, regarded as the most important since these two teams have been rival aggrega- tions for now nearly ten years, was after a hard fought battle which saw lenty of excitement throughout. oth sensational play and unexpect- ed fumbles and reverses were thrown into the game and not until the very last was the winner decided, Oshawa's seven points came from a touchdown, a covert, and a rouge while Peterboro's single tally also came from a rouge, Oshawa's touch- down came in the second quarter when after a long drive down the field, Bert Cornwall kicked oyer the Peterboro goal line and when the Peterboro half fumbled the ball, Red Eyans fell on it for five points instead of a possible one. Murray Cock un- corked a beautiful dropckick to score a point for the convert while Osh- awa's seventh point came when Corn- wall again kicked over the deadline and the Peterboro half, after he again fumpled the ball but this time managed to pick it up, was tackled for a rouge, Peterboro's single tally came when after advancing into Oshawa's 25 yard territory, they kicked oyer the goal line and brought Cornwall down before he could carry the ball out of touch for 2 rouge. The junior affair in Peterboro saw Oshawa taking good care of their end of the play at most times but a Jack of experience and inability on the part of the half backs to catch and carry back kicks, was partially res- ponsible for the defeat. Oshawa's plays to perfection however and on the whole, those con- cerned are satisfied with the result.

It's no easy road to an Ontarlo championship as has been seen on many a memorable occasion in Oshawa's history and when a team at last reaches the top, a fitting demonstration is not at all out of place. Hockey teams, baseball teams, soccer teams, softball teams and rugby teams all know the tough journey it is up to the top and those who have had to taste defeat when sweet victory has seemed so close, can especially appreciate how it must feel to win a title, For the first year in the senior section of the O.A.L.A., for the first time numerous members of the team have ever played senior lacrosse before and for the first time the senior Ontario lacrosse title has ever come east of Toronto, the victory is indeed a great one, The Toronto Mail and Empire has the following to say this morning: -- the records of lacrosse, Oshawa joining the long list of champions on Saturday with its victory over Brampton in the Senior 0.A.L.A, finals, and thus the national sport has earned a home with a new following. Although Oshawa has been in lacrosse for many years, not since the first official has it realized the thrill of a championship in any series, but in beating Brampton, supporters of Motor City sports made up for lost time, History was made by the O.A.L.A, on Saturday, for it was the first time that a new entry in the senior ranks ever won the title, and also the first time that four championships were decided on the same afternoon, while to keep up with the pace one crown crossed the border to Buffalo for the first time in history, Oshawa is not through with the game yet, as they have accepted the challenge of Buffalo for the Associa. tion championship, and a home-and-home series will likely be As stated at the bottom of the above article, Oshawa is not through Immediately after Buffalo defeated Wallaceburg on Saturday for the Intermediate championship of Ontario, they issued an official challenge to the local team, for a series for the Association (0.A.

The whole argument, whieh was whether or not Brampton could overcome a four goal Oshawa lead, to win the senior lacrosse champion- ship of Ontario, was officially de- cided in the negative after eight¥ minutes of lacrosse, but in the opin- ion of some, the whole question was decided after the first ten minutes of play. That however, as we said, was in the opinion of some. Others, for in- stance, thought that it was not until Pat Shannon got back on the field after he was forced to take his first and only rest of the season, for brushing the dust off the seat of a gentleman's pants, because the gen- tleman happened to be playing for the Brampton team at the time, The score by quarters, on the off} cial time keeper's docket read some- thing like this, and a casual scrutiny not only shows that Brampton had to score two goals in the last quar- ter to win the game but that Osh- awa was actually ahead in the score on two occasions, First Quarter Beatty (B) Spencer (0) ,.. / Second Quarter White (0) 3.10 2.45 - 7.33 Third Quarter Burton (B) Fourth Quarter Degray (Barron) (0) ... Farr (B) on 4.80 Jennings (B) ,....00000 reserve DOB Not exactly play by play, but if we may use the expression, an event hy event account of the game was as follows: -- Brampton made the first rush of the game after taking the check-off and carried the ball down the field for a shot at Shannon hefore they took a minute's rest when Oshawa gained possession of the ball. Three minutes after play began however they returned down the field and pressing the Oshawa net, Stuart Beatty scored on a scramble in front of the net, hitting the ball rather than shooting it past. Shannon, Two minutes later Oshawa retali- ated when Chuck Davidson and Bob Stephenson carried the ball down the field and passed to Spencer who gave the Motor lads their opening goal, and tieing up the Brampton score. This seemed an unexpected goal but put both teams on their mettle for the hard battle of a game which fol- lowed, After this opening repartee Osh- awa made another rush but were re- pulsed and were forced in turn to look to their guns to offset an Excel sior attack, Teddy Reeve broke it up however and carried the pill back into Brampton territory where Barron made a close try, With the ball being handled like a hot coal, it flew back to the Oshawa net but with the Motor City boys matching man for man they weren't long in making the Bramptonites well aware of the fact that they had # good sized job on their hands. Me- Grath drew a penalty at this stage while George Sproule balanced up the penalty bench when he Was chased off for a two minute rest for clipping Chuck Davidson, nd to end play followed for sev- eral minutes with both teams taking dangerous shots on the goalies but the period ended with the two scores of the early part of the spree still holding good. Toots White Scores Brampton rushed the Oshawa net to get the second period on its way but once again, Teddy Reeve was right on the spot and carried the here out of the danger area where rath and Toots Whise took up 'the burden and went in [0 shots at 16.40 9.20 with a practically open net to aim at, Farr and Sproule both missed what would have been nice shots, Bi 's over-apxiety to score a goal ever cost them a Jomos 18 common osse etiquette w they 0_ligose for some time to come, r Their whole team prennt the goal Play of Exciting Variety Seen hroughout in Deciding Game the point in White's little son and at no other time during game, not even in the last few utes of the game, did they send entire team down the fleld, The sec ond period ended with both teams playing tit for tat with the ball, vancing and retreating up and down the field with hardly anything to choose between them, A In this manner also, the third quarter opened, with Brampton maks ing the attack to start with and Oahs stanza and once, to stop Beatty, Smithson drew a penalty, While he was off, although no score was made, Shannon and the defending players had a merry time of it, George Sproule with several dangerous ate tempts making it pretty hot for the interval, A quick break with the ball hows ever gave Oshawa a good chance to score soon after Smithson came back om, when Charlie Barron made a long run down the field and although he had two men to beat, he nearly duplicated Toots White's perform. ance but his shot, a hurried one, went wild and nothing resulted. Towards the end of the period Brampton began taking another ag: gressive and a see-saw attack with Kendell at the side of the net pass ing across the fleld to Burton, they managed to even up the score, Bur ton's shot being a low one and hard to judge, Shannon Penalized With the score tier 2-2 both teams threw their anchors to the winds and stepped into the fray for a whirl wind final twenty minutes, Right af ter the check-off Shannon drew a two minute sojourn on the bad-man's bench for showing too much distaste while the referee was looking for the particular actions of Farr whom Pat reports as having heen a continual thorn in his side all the way through the game. Ernie Shepley took the net while Pat was off and was given a couple of bullets to stop for his trouble but much to his credit, he came off un- scathed and the score remained un. changed despite much excitement, while Shannon was resting up. On Shannon's return to the fold, . Oshawa again took a crack at the Brampton net and were rewarded by a goal for their efforts, Carrying the ball down the field on a fast break-away, Charlie Barron fooled the Brampton defence and then pass- ed to Kelley Degray who finished the procedure by immediately whip. ping the ball past Large, Four minutes later, Brampton staged an attack and the fluke goal of the game resulted when Farr took a long shot at Shannon, Shan. non went out in front of the net to meet it before it bounced and looped the ball over his shoulder as he has done successfully 99,999 times before in his career, But this was the 100,000th time in Pat's eareer and instead of gding over and behind the net, the little round rubber ball went straight into the twine for a goal by Pat although it was credited to Farr, out of courtesy, This made the score 3-8, +ks Ti rampton Breaks The rion feeling their end drawing nigh, continued .to press stubbornly and following a massed attack around the Oshawa goal Jen- nings picked an opening and nicked off the goal which won the game but which still made it three goals away from an evening the count up om the round, Oshawa had still a last kick left in them however and in fact Bob Stephenson nearly scored when he was given a free shot from close in after almost a solo dash in through i4he defence, The free shot Was mussed up, however, but Oshawa continued to make it interesting and it was in this manner, with Oshawa in possession, that the game ended, The bell had hardly stopped ring ing when the Oshawa players were lifted shoulder high by the huge crowd of Oshawa supporters were present and who had made their presence known through» out the game, The line-ups were: Oshawa Position Shannon goal Reeve point Shepley cover Hubbell Spencer Smithson McGrath Large. : he Excelsiors returned fast and|pegyr Felt Bros. 7 he LEADING JEWELERS Established 1886 12 Simcoe St, South
