THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13, 1940 is SENIOR 0.H.A. TEAMS TO FILL OPEN M-0 DATES Toronto, Dec. 13.--Their ranks depleted by the withdrawal of the Muskégon Sailors, Michigan-On- tario Hockey League officials were making overtures today to the seven O.H.A. senior teams for co-opera- tion in filling newly-created gaps in the schedule. ) Retirement of the Michigan team leaves the M.-O. circuit with only three clubs, Detroit Holzbaughs, Windsor Spitfires, and Toledo. Of- ficials of the league will invite O.H. A. teams to fill in the vacant dates caused. by the retirement of the Sailors. Under this plan the neces- sity of redrafting the schedule would be averted. London Streamliners of the O.H. A. senior circuit already have ac- cepted an invitation to play at Windsor. Other members of the Big Seven are expected to agree to the proposal. The OH.A. teams probably will alternate in filling Muskegon's scheduled engagements. The proposal will be sanctioned by the O.H.A, Secretary W. A. Hewitt said last night, adding that he saw no reason why the pl would not work out satisfactorily. "O.H.A. teams have been frequent visitors to Michigan-Ontario Lea- gue cities in recent years," he said. "Goodyears, Port Colborne and Niagara Falls played exhibition games with teams in that league last year." The Michigan-Ontario League has been one of the strongest ama- teur circuits in the East in recent seasons, but this year fell back con- siderably as a result of the with- drawal of several clubs. Prior to the start of last year's hockey cam- paign Toronto Goodyears sought admission to the M.-O. group be- cause of lack of competitive opposi- tion in the O.H.A. Their request was | refused, however. { One Toronto hockey official said last night that the pilgrimages of OHA. teams to M.-O. centres ul- timately may lead to a broadening of the O.H.A. circuit. "Detroit and Windsor would prove exceptionally good drawing cards around here, he vouched, "and certainly the On- | tario teams will draw well in the border cities." According to the plan, the exhi- bition games will count in the standings for the Michigan-Ontaric | teams, but will have ne bearing on the records of the O.H.A. teams. Windsor, Dec. 13. -- Withdrawal | of the Muskegon (Mich. Sailors | from the Michigan-Ontario Hockey League, anounced Wednesday night, probably will not negessitate sched- ule changes or cause other diffitul- ty, it was indicated today. An au- thoritative source: revealed the | practical certainty that the seven senior O.H.A. teams will fill the | gaps caused bv the retirement of the Muskegon team. KEN OVERLIN TO DEFEND HIS TITLE | | | | | By GAYLE TALBOT Associated Press Sports Writer New York, Dec. 13 (AP)--Having been chosen "most likely to succeed" by the fight critics after his first experience with Ken Overlin six weeks ago, young Steve Belloise of the Bronx will have another shot at the middleweight champ tonight at Madison Square Garden. Steve earned the respect of the fight crowd by knocking Overlin flat in 'the sixth round of their first meeting and then whaling the tar out of Overlin when he got up. It was a tribute to Overlin's gameness that he weathered the beating and came on to win the decision at the end of 15 rouads. That was Belloise's first 15-round- er, and he said the only reason he let Overli et away in the sixth as afraid of wearing ly in the evening and NEW YORK RANGERS Murray "Muz" Patrick NATIONAL LE Ww.

GARMS FANNED OAlLY SIX TIMES RATES TOP PLACE IN YEAR'S UPSETS New York, Dec. 13--(AP)--Thi being Friday the 13th makes it an auspicious occasion to that the sports editors of the United States, having checked back surprises, have chosen Dartmouth' "fifth-down" defeat of Cornell as the most surprising of all. won by 7-3 and then gave back to all got the first the votes of 14 Associated Press poll and the sec- ond-place votes of a similar num- ber to become upset No, 1 with 72 points. However, the unexpected deter- mination of Cornell's 18-game un- beaten streak was only little more startling to the experts than De- troit's victory in the American Lea- gue pennant race. Fifteen, in fact, gave that top spot on their ballot, but on the 3<2-1 scoring basis the 'Tigers will have to be content with 64 points and second place. There was a tie for third place. Stanford's climb into the Rose Bowl from the 1939 Coast Confer- ence cellar was good for 31 points, the same number awarded to the fact that Gallahadion won and Bimelech was beaten in the Ken- tucky Derby. Close on the heels of these occurrences came Texas Ag- gles' 7-0 loss to Texas and Notre Dame's defeat by Iowa by the same score; Ed. Oliver's disqualification for starting his last round in the United States open golf champlion- ship ahead of time (his medal score gave him a first-place tie with Lawson Little and Gene Sara- zen); New York Yankees' slow start and third-place finish in the American League, and Fritzle Zivic's victory over Henry Armstrong that brought the Pittsburgh ring veteran the welterweight boxing title.

Kelly | Dickinson of Montreal; | Fraser of Toronto; and Fred R | McKelcan of the National Trust | Company, Toronto. A letter with a | plan for reorganization was sub- | mitted by J. Ernest Guite of Parce, | | Que. Mayor Mageau asked that rather than scrap the Abitibi Sturgeon Falls plant, it be given to the town | of Sturgeon Falls, contending that | Sturgeon Falls citizens depend on | the industry for their livelihood. He said that as recently as two months ago 2,655 of a total popula- tion of about 5,000 in his town were on relief, He said the Sturgeon Falls plant, formerly operated by the Spanish River Power Company, had been bought by Abitibi for the purpose of eliminating it from the produc- tion field so that more effective control of newsprint . prices could be obtained. "There is no doubt that if the plant had remained as a single unit it would be producing to come." Reorganization plans submitted by Mr. Dickinson and Mr, Guite, a minor shareholder, were somewhat alike. Both provided for payment of bond Interest to bondholders over a given period until back in- terest is paid off. Under My Guite's plan the company would bé neld in receivership until the final bond in- terest payments are made, then turned back to the shareholders.

MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE FIGHT OVER SIGNBOARD Hernando, Miss, Dec. 13. (AP) Mississippi is getting hot under the collar about a sign just inside Tennessee near Memphis, telling the world that "down the road in Mississippi are gambling dens and diver." "Down the road" pointedly means { here in Desoto county, where road | houses are much patronized bv | Memphis residents. . | Sheriff Guy Joiner of Memphis | put up the 10x30-foot sign last | Monday, stationed a night and day | guard about it. He warned that | "anyone who thinks he can drive | by and shoot it down will have his | tires blown off and he will be dealt | with severely." Since then, Mississippi publishers | have written stinging editorials sug- gesting that Memphis first "clean | its own house." Civic groups have | framed formal protests. | Sheriff Elton 8. Baxter of the | Mississippi county commented that | "the battle that is raging between Tennessee and Mississippi is not | over morals.

Senior "A" games sched- drunk on ice, but he never went down again and at the round's end Belloise was [arm-weary and trip- ping over hig own feet. So that is set-up as the vet- eran champ and the kid with rocks in his fists try it again. Bel- loise, having bounced Overlin off the floor once, is sure he can keep him there this time and win that portion of the 160-pound title which the New York State Athletic Com- mission is vileged to parcel out. Overlin, fon the opposite hand, frankly this one as an ad- vance Christmas gift. He has reserv- ed a table at his favorite deadfall for right after the fight, which he looks upom as a mere formality. The champion is something of a card. b He says he learned all he needed to know about Bellolse the other time, and that the kid will never, never pop him again like that. But if he should accidentally run into one, he says he will get up again and give Steve another hiding, only worse this time. The gamblers are giving no odds either way. This observer, though confident that Belloise will be middleweight champion cone of these days, feels that he heeds and boxing lesson or two from Overlii fo take off the Tough edges. He should be a beauty by the time he completesthe course.
