THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1940 PAGE THIRTEEN Big Four Men Dominate Grid All-Star Team By SYDNEY GRUSON Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Nov. 27 (CP)--The In- terpro:incial Union, long the domin- ant force in eastern football, retains that position easily in the balloting for The Canadian Press all-eastern teams which were announced to- day. With a lone exception, Syd Rey- nolds of Toronto Balmy Beach, the Big Four players who previously had been selected for that union's myth- ical squad make up the all-eastern first team. The second team is made up to 10 from the O.RF.U. all-stars with two outsides from the Inter- provincial. There was opportunity for the writers and coaches to move outside the previous selections in marking their ballots for the all-eastern clubs. They gave scattered votes to many, but only Ottawa's Tony Mc- Carthy got enough to oust one of the men picked before. Jim Butler of Sarnia was dropped. with this exception, the voters were almost as one in agreement that the men good enough for the union teams were good enough for the all-eastern. They were just as firm in their decision that only Reynolds, the "old professor" who came out of retirement this sea- son, should break into the Big Four lineup. There is an immediate test of the experts' wisdom at hand. In Toron. to Saturday, Balmy Beach, which has six men on the second team and Reynolds on the first, plays Ottawa Rough Riders in the opener of & two-game series for the eastern championship. Six Riders are on the first team. Little Andy Tommy, Riders in their drive Four championship, got another overwhelming tribute to his great work in the all-eastern voting. All the 15 selectors of the first team marked his name, and 14 of them put him in at flying wing. His teammate, Sam Sward, got the other vote and 10 more, seven of them for the secondary-half posi- tion, with Tony Golab receiving 14, Bobby Coulter of Toronto 12, and Gord Noseworthy of Montreal five for the other backfield positions. Balmy's Frank Seymour, ranking plunger in the ORF.U. got five votes for secondary half but Sward had this position tied up. Reynolds, who was lost to Beaches for the remainder of the season be- cause of a sudden appendectomy last week, was given 10 votes for one of the outside jobs, a total exceeded on the line only by Dave Sprague of Ottaws and tied by Hamilton's great centre, Doug Turner. But on the line, too, there was no question of who the selectors wanted and where they wanted them to play.

LEAFS TAKE 7 EE ooo N- [SROCN- NR the By ROBERT CLARKE Canadifh Press Staff Writer It isn't worth any money in the bank in itself, nor does it mean that the Stanley Cup ic stowed away safely, but Toronto Maple Leafs' feat of defeating every other team in the National Hockey Lea- today as the outstanding bit of work in the stfll-young season. Here it is just 25 days after the start of the schedule and the Leafs have been the last two victims of tories in nine games. Only two teams, Chicago Black Hawks and New York Rangers, have been able to set down the Leafs and they have seen the last two victims of the Torontonians. The leafs filled out thelr vie- tory-over-everybody hand ast night by defeating Rangers, 4-2, at New York in the second meeting of the season between the two teams. The victory -was sweet because Rangers had opened the league schedule on Nov, 2 with a 4-1 vice tory in Toronto cver the Leafs. As Leafs shot out into a four- point lead over the second-place Detroit Red Wings, who were idle last night, Montreal Canadiens bounced out of the league cellar and into a fifth-place tie with Rangers by defeating Boston Bruins 3-2. Rangers, however, have playes three games less than Canadiens. Syl Apps and Gordie Drillon, probably as good a two-man com- bination as can be fond in the NHL, set.the pace for the Leafs Drillon fired two goals while Apps Drillon's. The other Toronto goal went to the veteran Gus Marker, oldest man on the team at 33 The Leafs had to wait until the second period before: they broke into the scoring column, but then they went to town with Apps, Mar- ker and Drillon counting in order before Bryan Hextall fired the first Ranger goal late in the session. Drillon got his second goal shortly after the start of the third period and Alf Pike scored for Rangers near the end of the game, Final standing of the league: | claimed.

Thurier maintained the ton spot by scoring three goals ard figuring in seven assists last week to give Coach Ponton Confident His Club Can Win By SCOTT YOUNG Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Nov. 2T. (CP)--Coach Alex Ponton thinks the chances of his Toronto Balmy Beach club, On- tario Rugby Football Union cham- pion, against Ottawa, Interprovin- cial Union champion, in the eastern rugby football final are lessened by a recent Canadian Rugby Union edict extending the play-off to two games instead of the usual one.

"No telling what kind of weather we'll get in Ottawa for the second game," he said. "And I'm not sure how my club would go under bad playing conditions." He has an interest in this Ottawa series stronger than the natural will to win. Firstly, of course, he'd like to see his team proven the best. That's expected, in a coach. Secondly, if Beaches beat Ottawa Ponton will be one of the select few coaches whose teams have won a Canadian Rugby Union cham- pionship twice. For with the West barred because it didn't play CR.U. rules this season, the C.R.U. crown and the Grey Cup goes to the win- ner of the eastern title. Thirdly, Ross Trimble, Ottawa coach, is an old Balmy Beacher. He played on Ponton's dominion champion Beaches in 1930. In 1927 Ponton was quarterback for Beach- es, Trimble a middle wing. "The trouble with me right now is that I don't know exactly what this club of mine can do. We were unbeaten and untied in the O RFU. | this year and we didn't often have | to open up. | "But I'll tell you this. After beating Sarnia, this outfit of mine won't be stampeded by the Ottawa | jine. That Sarnia line was tougher than we'll see in Ottawa. And as | for backfields, well" . . . he hesitat- | ed... "I wouldn't trade Frank Sey- | mour for Tony Golab!" Seymour has been a plunging sen- sation this year, one of 16 carry- overs from last season's Beaches. His smashes through the line from end-run feints played a large part | in Beaches success this season. He is much the same type of player as Golab, Ottawa's plunging and running star. Warming to his subject, Ponton | sald when Beaches were beaten 10- | 0 in an exhibition game by Ottawa before the regular season opened "We could just as well have won that game. One fumble beat us, and we didn't have the semblance of an attack then. "We've improved so much since that game you wouldn't know us for the same team. My players are young, most of them. Some of them were playing their first big- time football, that day." He mentioned particularly the improvement in Bill Drinkwater, who came from Upper Canada Col- lege to Beaches this season to play his first major-league football. Of 14 newcomers to Beaches this sea- son, he also spoke of halves Art walker and Don Crowe. "If we get a wet day, Crowe will outkick Sward. Crowe's a great wet-bdll kicker," he said. An onlooker sald something about the size of the Ottawa players and the conversation, which started out mildly, wound up with a hurried tabulation of weights that showed by Ponton's figures that Beaches will outweigh Ottawa by an esti- mated average of five to 10 pounds per man. The overall average weigh of Beaches was reckoned at 190. "Just listen to this" Ponton ex- Gracle Fields, who has won the in "Virginia City".
