PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER. 15, 1947 BY Bob Rife SHORT, -- George Campbell left on his annual expedition to the northland after deer, and isn't expected 'back till next-week-end. He certainly is missing one of the best bits of news that we've heard so far in this Junior hockey season, Yes they won. We were cooling our heels in front of our wireless most of the evening listening for scores, and When 'the first flash came over, that it was 1-0 for the locals, we wiggled our toes in a little jig.. (We were still worried about the next two periods). second period score of 3-2 for the Spitfires brought on an attack of the dread disease "Wedonotwanttohearanymore." However & quick visit from the doc cured that in time for yours truly to hear that our Generals were tied 5-5 at the end of regulation time. A wan smile came over our pale face. "At least they are giving 'em a good battle," we thought. Then the local radio station decided it was past bedtime and went off the air. * * * Tt shouldn't happen to a dog. Yeh we tore up three new drapes made deep drool and teeth marks in the carpet and generally wrecked the house. We had notions toward the radio, but thinking that the score might be broadcast over another station, madly twirled the dial. "Final score in the Junior game at Windsor, 6.5 for the Spit- fires" It just couldn't be, the guy needed glasses. Our team couldn't lose in overtime. We went to bed them feeling like last year's inner tube with no air and a big tear in our side. Upon waking in the morn, father, dear, dear man, pulled the door off the hinges to get at us. Seems the morning paper said 6.5 for the Generals. The sun began to shine, The birds who had missed the train for the south began to warble, and we just naturally went stark staring mad. Ross Lowe scored the winning counter. Rah! Rah! Ted O'Connor = fed him the . Rah! Rah! Spitfires defeated brok Rah! Rah! orn worked off a little steam, the question of to- - night's game suddenly reared its head. Come on you Generals. The 8.R.0. sign is out and you just gotta win. + + LJ Looking back at last Wednesday's game between the Generals and Bt. Catharines Teepess, the St. Kitt's papers are really crying for Osh- awa blood after the hard-working Mr. Dusty Blair slipped the winning goal past Cec. Gruhl in the Teepee twine. They called it a lucky shot, well maybe so, but couldn't the goalie have been just a little loose on the play? Yep and besides that, the Gens had just finished executing a play a few minutes before that, which ended, with the puck in the net. Re- feree Patterson disallowed the goal and so maybe our boys were a little justified in getting that lucky one. Ah well though, no use crying over spilt milk, as long as it didn't land on the blue of the Generals sweaters eo « » Ted O'Connor seems headed for a better than average year, what with scoring three goals up till the Wednesday game and then assistting in three of the counters in that tilt. We shall see if he can keep it up by turning in a good show against Windsor here tonight. LJ LJ * Chick Appel in the Stratford Beacon-Herald is wondering about the possibility of a deal between the Oshawa and Stratford Junior "A" clubs, He figures that in return for "Sandy" Air the Kroehlers might get first chance at Eric Pogue once he is released. Pardon us Mr. Appel, but who said Pogue was released. We only said that there was a little friction. Certainly since we all know what a good player Pogue is, it would be a little silly to release him to another Junior club to pull the revenge act on the G als. We p lly figure that it won't be too long before Pogue is either back on the team and playing top form hockey, or is given his release with a lot of pub- licity saying that he'll be playing for a semi.pro club. Down in Co. bourg they are getting all ready to erect a Memorial Arena. A total amount of $77,000 will be raised for the building, the site of which is at McGill and Charles Streets. lg. J » SPORT SHORTS -- Ottawa Rough Rider's 15-year hunt for the Interprovincial Rugby football Union honors ended 22 years ago today with an 8-3 victory over the Hamilton Tigers at Ottawa. Roughriders have won the championship five times since 1925 . . . . A New Orleans sportswriter's tune these days is invite some other team besides Notre Dame. "Give us a gape, not Notre Dame," he says. Not much doubt about it either since the Irish have only one other team in the East that even ranks with them and that is the University of Michigan. They are also undefeated this year. A meeting between these two teams would really make a bowl game this New Year's worth seeing . . .

Western Colts in a battle with the U. of T. seconds gave what we consider to be a little sample of what will happen today up in London. They drubbed the Toronto squad 28-12. Only difference in the score will probably be more poifits for Western, and fewer for Varsity. : > * +» SCISSORED SPORT--(By The Canadian Press)--Frank Patrick, who probably has fathered more innovations leading to the modern game than any other man in hockey, was not present at the birth of his latest brain-child--the raised-stick signal by the player scoring a goal. With the approval of President Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League, Patrick's idea was tried out Thursday night when Montreal Canadiens defeated Chicago Black Hawks 5-2. But most of the players forgot the hurried pre-game instructions and the 'debut was anything but & success: All a goal-scorer is asked to do is skate 30 or 40 feet from where he shot the goal and raise his stick at the proper altitude or angle. The spectators, the official scorers, the sports writers and broadcasters and all hands present will know instantaneously just who potted the puck . . .. John Vass of Syracuse rode his brown gelding, Panama, to first place last night in the first preliminary of the $1,000 knock-down and out stake of the Buffalo International Horse Show. Vass, who also won the working hunter class with the same entry, beat A, C. Texter's grey gelding, Toss-Up, from Welland, Ont., in the feature event of the three-day show. Three more preliminaries will be run be- fore the event's final Sunday night .... A plan to suppress the imten- tional walk, baseball's most irking stratagem to the average fan, by making it worth two bases, has been proposed by Jack Sheehan, director f the Chicago Cubs' farm system. In announcing the plan in Chicago esterday, Sheehan also proposed a restricting catcher's box which would force the pitcher to throw the ball somewhere within the vicinity of the plate against all batters . . .

GENERALS 3 ra Windsor Loses Overtime - Verdict To Locals When Lowe Fires Winning Goal Pete Piquette Brilliant For Gens, Making Im- possible Saves in Extra ter in Last 4 Minutes Of Regulation Time (Special to The Times-Gazette) Windsor, Ont., Nov 14--Osha. wa Generals last night handed the Windsor Spitfires their first defeat in the Ontario Hockey As-| sociation Junior "A" League, bei- ting the "Spits" 6-5 in overtime before 4,649 fans, largest crowd of the season here, Spitfires remain in first place with 14 points, while Geng are second with 12. The same play Saturday night in Oshawa, Wheeling in from his wing po- sition Ross Lowe scored the win-! ning goal on a very smooth pass, trom Ted O'Connor after two min. ut:3 and 53 seconds of the ten- minute overtime period. The goal really made it a local win for the Oshawa team since Lowe is from Whitby, and Ted O'Connor is an Oshawa Minor Hockey product. ROSS LOWE * Oshawa roared to the attack and scored the first goal when Jack Heggle, the newcomer to the Generals from Toronto Marlbor- oughs glanced the puck off goalie Gord Buckley's arm. The shot was a hard rising one from outside the blue line. Spitfires scored to to go ahead in the second period, Jack Tay- lor poking in the tying goal and Jim Uniac dipsy-doodling in for the next one, Frenchy Mayer tied it up at 2-2 but John Wilson, tied with Gord Haidy for the league- scoring lead, slapped in Butch Houle's rebound to put Spits ahead again. Wilson opened the scoring the third period on passes of the Giesebrecht brothers, who count- ed the ext goal to put Windsor three goals up. Oshawa came back with Dusty Blair and Chuck Blair both coun- ting on unassisted goals when the Windsor defense went asleep. Prenchy Mayer tied it up, Us- ing defenseman Marcel Pronovos as a screen, he slapped Sandy Airs pass past Buckley. The game ended with a five-all tie and the officials said ten min- utes of overtime would be play- ed. The extra piece started with both teams conserving their ener- gy for the last few minutes of the £0. Oshawa then took the offen- sive 'and through a& very hard fought few minutes looked as though they couldn't dent the Windsor twine. But Ted O'Con- nor cruised in past the defence flipped the pass over to Ross Lowe, and that worthy made no mistake on the shot that broke the tle, Pete Piquette proved to be the needed article then as the Spit- ed on their attack to get back that goal. Pete never gave an inch to the inrushing attack- ers, and weathered the storm of rubber thrown at him, He stopped in all 51 shots and showed him- self remarkably cool under the hot barrage. The Windsor net- minder, Gord Buckley steered 22 shots aside which shows that the Generals were a little more ac- curate with their shots, and also that Buckley didn't measure p to Piquette's skill between the posts, Bromwich No. 1 In Aussie Tourney Sydney, Australia, Nov. 15.-- Jack Bromwich of Australia was seeded No. 1 ; sterday and Ed Moy- lan of Trenton; NJ, and Jim Brink of Seattle, Wash., third and fifth respecti.ely, for the New South Wales tennis singles championship to be held next week.

Flash Hollett, Johnny Blute and Dutch Hiller led the Dutchmen with two goals each, Don Bauer and Wes Gallagher tallied one each for Kit- chener. Owen Sound counters came from Fred Smith, Lougheed and Miller, Jack Eley's netminding was the only thing that kept the Bengals from swamping the Patricias under a heavier load of rubber as they outskated and outplayed their younger rivals. Bobby Laurent and Clarence Shillington with two tal- lies each led the Tigers, while team- mates Polly Miccinovich and Fran kie Liscombe scored once. The lone Pats' goal came from Nick Phillips.
