i PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1947 By CPORT NAPSHOTS : Oshawa lacrosse team took a sound licking on their home floor ® last night before a large crowd--a crowd that was surprisingly large _ considering the horrible weather. However, unless .the local gutted stick boys start displaying more zip and interest in their own cause, the « next crowd will not be nearly as large, no matter if the sun is shining > brightly at game-time and admissions are half-price. There was noth- « ing much wrong with last night's lacrosse game as far as the Peter- - boro players were concerned, for they started right in to take a win > home and they made good by dint of serious play and hard work. Too many of the locals last night lacked "fire" in their play, checked in .very casual manner and delayed their attacks so long, after goalie Cliff Chambers had gained possession, that the Petes always had time to get back into position and be set for the Oshawa thrust when it did come. Geo. H. Campbell Ld + On the attack, the way wo saw it, the homesters had only one effective player, Gord. Cook' who mot only is a shifty gent with a ball in his stick and can rapidly move into position with a tricky shift but he ajso has the right idea about shooting. He "grounds 'em" when shooting through a maze of play- ers and he goes right in and picks a corner if he has a chance, but he always uses an opponent as a screen, if one is available. The useiess barging against a solid checker and then ending up with a wild shot that isn't even on the net, is very ineffective and for the most part, that is what Osh "s attack isted of, last night. They bunched too much in front of the other fellow's net when they had the ball and bunched in front of their own, back- ed in under their goalie's nose, when they were on the defensive. When it came to solid checking and taking care of his '"check" in thorough style, Ormiston was Oshawa's best. He could and did push his man out of the play all the time and he stuck to him like glue. Too many of the Oshawa checkers try to do it long-distance style and they're getting too many wrong numbers, as a result. LJ LJ + Dugan, with five pretty goals on as nifty a bit of lacrosse shoot- last night's go but he didn't have a chance on those sizzling elbow-high ing as we've seen in many a day, was Peterboro's star. Goalie Cliff Chambers has had several much better nights in the Oshawa net than shots by Dugan. Petes passed the ball with methodical precision and actually out-footed the younger Oshawa team. They appeared to have better condition and finished the game stronger than the homesters. Two injuries were sustained--Pete Grice getting a 4-stitch cut on the top of his noggin when a Peterboro player's stick followed through on a shot and konked Grice just a few seconds before Sutherland and Dundas ; tangled in a scrap. J. Breakspear of the Petes got cut over the head ac- cidentally in a similar fashion as he swerved around Luther Vipond, in the third period. Oshawa goes back to Peterboro for a schedule game on Friday night, when they'll have a chance to redeem themselves. TRFTITIIS IS ITY So Tn * That long downpour yesterday Siternovn and evening washed out all outdoor games scheduled for last night and no doubt most of the diamonds at the local parks will be too wet for a game tonight, for none of the Oshawa Parks Board properties are properly drained and none of the diamonds are sufficiently crowned to provide speedy drainage and eliminate "pools". President Johnny Brady has an- nounced that tonight's game at Alexandra Park between the two top Inter. "A" teams, Legionnaires and U.A.W.A, has been definitely postponed, due to wet grounds. They had to spend 25 minutes getting the diamond in shape on Monday night for a game and after yester- day's all-day rain, it will be impossible to have the field ready for a game tonight. There is no Inter. "AA" game booked for tonight but over in Whitby, White Eagles are booked to play Palm Sports, if the Whitby diamond is in shape in an Inter. "A" tilt. Kiwanis Juveniles are due to visit Westmount tonight too but perhaps that game will be cancelled too. There are Inter-Church games scheduled too but Alex- andra Park will definitely be too wet and Cowan's Park is likely to be unfit for play also. A glance at the "Sports Calendar" will show what games are listed for tomorrow night. * 4 *» SPORT SHORTS--Ab Jenkins established 21 new world's automo- bile speed records in a 24-hour run at Bonneville Flats, Utah. seven years i ®go today.

Cook Only Oshawa Sniper to Have Much Success Against Stout- Checking Petes -- Vis- itors Display More Speed and Accurate Passing -- Dugan Pa- . ces Winners Peterborough came in force to Oshawa Arena last night and they downed our local lacrosse entry by the one-sided count of 17-7. Peterborough played fast and hard all the way and they used simple, short-passing plays that had the Oshawa team fooled all the way. Oshawa, on the other hand, used their plays well, but there were only a few times when they had the ball to make use of the plays. Defense Backs Up Chambers was having a tough night in the Oshawa nets .for on two occasions the ball went in off his shoulder. On quite a numbe= of others he had his vision blocked by his defence, who kept backing in on him and thereby allowed the Petes to get away some effective screened shots, Cook was a standout for Oshawa in that he never seemed to tire and kept up his forechecking all through the game. He scored a trio of beauties on some very neat angle shots. The first period started with a couple of softies at both ends of the floor, and then the play slowed down as the players sensed that this was going to be a long and hard- fought game. Peterborough took the lead at the six-minute mark on a shot by Marchant. They then strengthen- ed their hold with a second tally seven minutes later, when Creigh- ton bounced a long one past Cliff Chambers. . Cook Is Standout The second period was in direct contrast to the first with both teams turning on the heat. Dugan rap- ped in a pair for Peterborough be- fore the crowd had settled in their seats, But then Oshawa fought back. They took an edge with Jan- zen potting a shot from close in on a pass from Tim Vipond. Gord Cook then started to put on the best one-man show of the night as he ragged the ball and on a pass from Chambers, rolled up the floor, cut in neatly on goal and blasted a hot one into the top corner for the third Oshawa goal, making it 5-3. Cook got another smoothie when he closed in on the net and bowled the ball between the goalie's legs, to make the score 5-4. Petes got that one back very soon and then the period ended. Petes Start to Roll The third frame saw Peterborough score six to Oshawa's two and the play got a little ragged as the play- ers started to find a few petty an- noyances to beef about to the enemy. Dugan played a sparkling game in the period and tossed in two "over-the-shoulder" backhands past hte Oshawa netter. A little mixup between Jack Sutherland and Connelly only made the referee hand out a couple of 10-minute sentences and by the look on the boys' faces when they got back on the floor they really hadn't settled anything by - the tussle. Feuds Burst Out The fourth and final period saw all the play slow up with everyone hacking away at his check and try- ing to play the man instead of the ball. Petes outscored Oshawa 5-1 in the period and so won 17-7. OSHAWA--Goal, Chambers; de- fense, L. Vipond and W. Vipond: rover, Bastien; centre, Sutherland; homes, Cook and T.

PETERBORO- WI Liftlock City Lacrossers NS IN HANDY FASHION City Squad With- Speed and Team-Play Canadian Henley [Opens Today at Port Dalhousie Port Dalhousie, Ont., July 23 --(CP)--The Niagara Peninsula decked itself out in its regatta best today and made gala prepar- ations to welcome a record break. ing entry for the 65th annua) re- newal of the Royal Canadian Henley. Entries piled up so fast that the executive committee of the Canadian Association of Oarsmen worked feverishly last night to determine the dally draw for the four-day regatta classic. The most post entrants can expect is the outside lane and consider themselves fortunate. Close to 750 competitors were expected as against a previous record of around 600. Although the'e may be some overlapping in various events the entrants early today were lined up this way: 76 singles, 24 doubles, 66 singles and 40 eights. Largest entry came from St. Catharines Rowing Club with 110. Others were not definitely set but Hamilton Leanders, last year's club champions, were ex- pected to send a formidable ar- ray. The American invaders from Buffalo and Detroit on the north to Philadelphia on the south were led by Buffalo Westside with 40, many entered in several events, The Ecorse, Mich,, Club, win- ners of the National Regatta at Detroit last week, was expected to provide 27 entrants, the same number the club used in taking the U.S. title. Today's events were scheduled to'get away at 2 p.m. with an ar- ray of a dozen heats and two fi- nals, the high school fours and the 145 pound quarter mile dash. The championship singles fin- als were not scheduled until Sat- urday, They were expected to bring together John D. Kelly Jr., of Philadelphia, winner of the Di- amond Sculls at the English Hen- ley and Theo Dubois, of Winni- peg, new . U.S. champion. A strong Canadian-American chal. lenging representation was prom- ised. At Detroit last Saturday Dubois regained the title he lost in 1941. Kelly "caught a crab" in the last quarter mile and over- turned. A morcter parade was schedu- led for tonight following a dinner tendered by president A, G, Muir of the C,A.A.0. The parade with Cliff Shuttleworth of Hamilton as Marshal will make its way through*the streets of St. Cathar- ines to the old Welland * Canal course at Port Dalhousie. Munici- pal officials, representatives of the C.A.A.0.,, and competing club and a host of others will take part. At the course grandstand the official opening ceremonies will be presided over by Syl Apps, chairman of the Ontario Athletic Commission and a member of the Toronto Maple Leaf hockey team of the National Hockey League. Two pre-regatta casualties were already on record today. Last night secretary J. L. Murray of the C.A.A.0. reported theft of clothing, typewriter and other be- longings fre: his car parked on a St, Catharines street, Official records were left untouched in a brief case. Earlier the shell of the McGill University fours was smashed when the wind slammed the door to the shed outside of which the crew members were working on their craft. Can-Am Yacht Race Hampered by Fog Halifax, J ly 23--(CP)--Ham- pered by dense fog banks and light breezes, seven white-sailed yachts struggled along Nova Sco- tia's coast early today on the last lap of the Marblehead-Halifax international yacht race, unoffi- cially conceded last night to the Miam{ Yacht Club's 72-foot Ti- conderoga, \ As yachtsmen peered through the soupy fog, only two of the seven missing yachts were repor- ted sighted, These two, Charles Rockwell's yawl Belisarius and Oliver Morton's yawl Onda, were said by R.C.M.P, to be about 20 miles out of Halifax. With more'than 80 hours elap- sed since the field of 23 started from Marblehead Saturday, 14 have crossed the finish line at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht squadron's breakwater here and one yacht dropped out of the race. Among the yachts still unac- counted for is a Canadian yawl, Pearson McCurdy's Joanne out of Halifax, The remainder are Am- erican craft. The tasi-sailing Ticonderoga, owned by A, P. Carlisle of East Islip, N. Y., slipped out of a fog bank and crossed the finish line early Monday with an elapsed time of 503 Lours for the 366- mile course, , At that, her crew claimed they had lost two hours seeking"ther bearings from a lightship which was off station at the harbor mouth and as a result the race committee protested to the Fede- ral Transport Department. First of three Canadians to finish was D. R. Turnbull's schooner Wanderer IX, wearing the burgee of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, co-spon, sors of the race with the Boston | Yacht Club, Here Is A Muscular Muskie! a This 484 -pound muskie fought two American tourists for an hour before it was boated in Lake Lauzon, near Blind River. It was 59% inches long, and required three wallops with an axe before it quit kicking. The mons- ter was caught on an 18-pound-test line and cheap spoon. Seen with the fish are Bud Young (left) and Art Shalorn of Blufton, IIL pected to be a repeater on the Da- vic Cup team which meets an Australian squad at Montreal Aug. 7, came through in the re- maining sets, 6.1, 7-5.
