They're having so much fun it is probable that at least five of the Ontarians--all juniors--will perform in Britain next year.

A BANG LACROSSE SEASON OPENS WITH & h 4 |0shawa's Spirited Rally In Last Quartex Thrills Fans Despite Peterhoro Victory Liftlock City Team Dis- plays More Stick- Handling Skill and Ex- perienced Finish to Build up Big Early Lead -- Locals Stage Great Fighting Finish To Give Promise of Fu- ture Improvement 'They ushered in the new lacrosse season at the Oshawa Arena last night and although the visiting gutted-stick artists from the Lift- lock City gave Peterboro an official 14-9 victory 'on- the record books, the first game of the Senior "B" group schedule won the stamp of approval from the fair-sized crowd of Oshawa fans who attended. The Peterboro squad had a defi- nite edge over the Oshawa boys in the matter of individual stick- ling skill as well as in team- play, based solely on experience. However, the Oshawa boys showed they were in very fair 'condition by the manner in which they stayed with their speedy opponents from to finish. Rally Thrills Fans Most pleasing feature of the game was the sensational comeback staged by the Oshawa squad in the fourth and final quarter. They were de- cisively outplayed and outscored in the first three frames, in fact, after their two quick goals in the first minute of the fourth quarter, the Peterboro squad was enjoying a 13- 5 lead and had the game all sewed up. However, in the final fifteen min- utes the Oshawa Lacrosse Club won a host of admirers and firm friends by their spirited rally. They out- fought the Peterboro team and in the closing minutes were holding their own in general play, by virtue of sustained pressure. It was a pleasing sight to see the locals come roaring back with such spirited splurge and indicated clearly that before the season is over, Oshawa Arena will be well filled for lacrosse games, for the local fans will have a battling bunch of stick-wielders, for whom to cheer. Breakspear and Chambers Breakspear, a classy sniping for- ward who notched four goals and earned a couple of assists, besides being a threat all night, was the outstanding player on a starry Pet- erboro squad, on which Mickey Ma- gee, Ned Vitarelli, the two Creigh- ton boys, Mitchell, Cassidy and Dugan all shone, along with goalie Rogers. . For Oshawa, CHff Chambers in goal was sensational. His fine ball- stopping, after being away from the game for about five years, was truly brilliant. Early in the game when the Petes had it all their own way, it was Chambers who kept Oshawa in the game, else the visitors' total would have been doubled. Oshawa was weak with their de- fensive checking, did =ot stick to their checks closely enough and bunched in front of the opponents' net, when on the attack, instead of opening up the play.

Horsemen And Track Owners Agree, As Usual Toronto, May 28 (CP).--The big dispute over minimum purses be- tween the Horsemen's Benevolent Protective Association and Canadian race-track operators appeared all settled today except for the Hamil- ton Jockey Club. The horsemen started with de- mands for a minimum purse of $1,500 at the Toronto tracks, and after the dispute resulted in can- cellation of the Greenwood Racing Club's meeting at Woodbine Park, agreement was reached on a com- promise of $1,350 minimum per- mitting regular operation of the Ontario Jockey Club meet at Wood- bine and the Thorncliffe track in Toronto. Then late yesterday it was an- nounced that agreement had been reached with the Orpen tracks, Duf- ferin and Long Branch, for lower minimums, Dufferin will operate one week from June 4 to 11, and Long Branch from Juhe 14 to 21. In the case of these tracks the dis- pute was over the announced in- tention of the Orpen interests to run-two straight weeks at Dufferin in the spring and two at Long Branch in the fall.

Don't Want Any Subs In Soccer, See! London, May 28--(CP)--It seems that any signs of a decline or'de- parture from tradition in the Old Country's "National" games of cricket and soccer calls for a crack from some sports writers about Canada's hockey or "American" football. : Everybody was happy and proud when Britain's footballers smacked still the masters" was repeated like a broken gramophone record. Then somebody brought up the rule about substitutes, allowed for this game but not used. This unheard-of rule just would ly pained John Robertson of The nard McElwaine of The London "It has opened the door wide to scandal and abuse" and "smacks of commercialized American - 'footkall' and the bewildering in-and-out tac- tics of the ice-hockey rink," Rob- ertson wrote. McElwaine said the substitute would lead to trouble, mentioning that "unscrupulous opponents could fake injury and a fresh player might provide enough extra zing to win the match." "Apart from that, I think it is going to sissify the game. What a terrible thing if we get down to the American football idea! In their game, the coach throws in substi- tutes every few minutes if hé wants to--in fact, some teams put in a star booter for place kicks only." Robertson pointed out soccer was a product of Britain long before the continent had mastered the rudi- ments of the game. "And if we could do without - substitutes for over half a century there doesn't seem much point in starting now."
