PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES¢GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1947 BY Geo. H. Campbell PORT WW NAPSHOTS "Oshawa Generals came up with a fine victory last night, a 4-2 triumpi up in Galt, over Alfie Moore's Rockets. Oshawa's 15th win gives them .30 po:nts, one full game behind the Windsor Spitfires, with just one game more than the half-way mark passed. Galt's Tth defeat left them with 21 points (3 tie games) and still one point behind Stratford, with one game more played too. Galt Rockets suffered a harsh blow this week in the loss of "Wiggie" Wylie, their ace centre and one of the leazue's leading point-scorers. *'Wiggie" had his appendix removed on Monday. This'was a real loss to the Galt team of course but at that they broke in front and then after "Dusty" Blair tied it up, the Rockets took the lead again in the second stanza. "Sully" Sullivan scored cn a ganging act, 29 seconds after the final frame opened and then Eric Pogue scored the winning goal, with Chuck Blair putting in the clincher a few seconds later. LJ LJ * Coach Tommy Anderson is quite pleased with the showing of his boys last night up in Galt, and well he might be. They did something they haven't done too often this year--came from behind to win the game and finished much stronger than the other team. The locals have been guilty of fdaing a little in the home stretch in some of their games last month and early December but that 3-goal rally in the 3rd period last night was a pleasing reversal of form. Giving the Rockets only two goals on their home ice is another indication that the rearguard dept. is playing sound hockey and the win will prove valuable to the Generals in the final standing. Their next game is on Saturday afternoon in Toronto against Marlboros. * %* * / SPORT SHORTS--For .a brilliant season on the gridiron, Tony Golab of Ottawa Roughriders was named the outstanding athlete of 1041, six years ago today.

Football crown--official or unofficial.

W. A. Hewitt, chairman of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association's rules committee, has announced the C.A.H.A. has adopted a rule change made recently by the National Hockey League and other professional leagues. The regulation provides that, if a player in the zone from which a pass is made is preceded by the puck into succeeding zones, he may take possession of the puck, except where the "icing the puck" rule applies. It replaces a rule which had required all passes originating in the defending zone to be completed at the centre-ice red line . ...

A -- Oshawa Arena "Home of The Oshawa Generals" wo) a BORTICIOIIT]E: SE i | second-place lead over HAMILTON PATS SURPRISE STRATFORD SRS.; GALT LOSE ACE SCORER By The Canadian Pres The yuletide, usually a time of good cher, had nothing to offer to Stratford Indians or Galt Rockets. The third-place Indians blew their chance to take a one-point Hamilton Tigers when they were defeated by the sixth-place Hamilton Patricias 5-3 in an Ontario Hockey Associa- tion Senior "A" tilt at Stratford last night. The fifth-place Rockets lost a 4-2 decision to the second-place Osh- awa Generals, at Galt in a Junior fixture and also the services of the League's top scorer, Wiggie Wylie, through an appendectomy. Indians Reverse Form The Stratford game was a com- plete reversal of form for the In- dians as they gave Pats' their sixth win in 19 tries. Monday night in Hamilton, Pats grabbed a two-goal lead, only to lose out finally, but last night the Indians took a two- goal lead only to have it wiped out in the second period when Pats tal- lied two counters in less than two minutes. Eight minutes later Pats went one to the gocd on JRobby Robin- son's goal but Pete Long knotted the count shortly before the end of the second frame. With the game 3-3, Hugh Barlow put Hamilton ahead at the 6:28 mark of the third session. Ten min- utes later Barlow tallied the clinch. er. Frank Long and Killer Kilpatrick scored Hamilton's other goals. Pete Long, Jim Eady and Billy Flick were Stratford marksmen. Fifteen penalties were handed out in the Galt game, 10 to Oshawa. With the loss of Wylie, Coach Alfle Moore sent rearguard Pete Tka- chuk up front and he scored the first goal, "Dusty" Blair tied it up at the 15-minute mark. Galt went ahead again at the end of second period on defenceman Bob Robert- son's counter. Oshawa tied it up again in 29 se- conds of the third period, when with Galt a man short, "Sully" Sul. livan scored. Two more quick tallies by Eric Pogue and Chuck Blair clinched the issue, ALT ICE GENERALS EARN GOOD WIN ON Sparkling 3-Goal Rally In "3rd Period B As Generals Oshawa Comes From Be- hind in Final Frame-- Sullivan Ties It Up and Pogue Scores Win- ner--Homesters With- out Centre Ace 'Wiggy' Wylie (Special to The Times-Gazette) Galt, Dec. 23--The Oshawa Gen- eral invaded Galt last night and though Piquette didn't keep up his string of shutouts our boys did come out with the win 4.2 over the Rockets. It was one of the roughest games of the season up in Galt and 15 penalties in all were handed out, 10 being to the Generals. Piquette has now 191 minutes of consecutive shutout time which | is we think something of a record. | Referee Dinty Moore had lots of | fun all night long, exercising his the feelings of both clubs, were running high. With the loss of Wiggy Wylie through .an appendectomy, Coach | Alfie Moore had to rearrange his front lines and sent Pete Tkachuk | up front. Tkachuk scored the first goal of the game with Don Blair of Oshawa tying it up after 15 | minutes of play. | Defenceman Bob Robertson put Galt out in front in the dying stages of the second period when he trapped an Oshawa pass-out and drilled the rubber by Piquette. With Galt a man short, Oshawa tied it up in 29 seconds of the third period, Sullivan from Scholes, and then went out in front on two quick goals by Eric Pogue and Chuck Blair, OSHAWA: Goal, Piquette; de- fense, Sullivan, Oleksuik: centre, Scholes; wings, C.

News ond Views IN THE Industrial Loop Bennett's Used Cars vs. Harmony Lunch Nash, starring in the nets for Bennett's Used Car team, blanked the ever-pressing Harmony Lunch boys to the tune of 3-0. Although Harmony could not penetrate the stout defensive action put up by Bennett's, not for one moment did they let up trying to break the goose egg which was hung on them and only the stout work of Nash kept it that way. In the other end of the rink, W. Aitchison, playing a standout game for Harmony was called upon re- peatedly to stop the goal mouth thrusts of the Used Car forwards. , Chicago . Courtice vs. Duplate Glass . Courtice, with determination and aggressiveness, moved out of the cellar spot, by playing to a one-all tie with Duplate Glass in the last game of a Saturday's Industrial Hockey League fixture. Sparked by Johnson and backed up by Chadwick in goal, the boys from down east certainly kept Kli- muik_hopping in the Duplate net. Cotfrtice seems to have a mania for scoring early goals, only to be beat out later in the game, This is the third game that they have scored within the first five minutes but this time they finally succeeded in splitting the honors. Duplate didn't help their cause any by the continued parade to the penalty box. Clarke being the main offender with three trips to the cooler.

D. Noonan, moving back from the centre ice spot to take over the goal chores in the absence of Claus, upheld his end -of the game, and time and time again turned back the ganging attagk of the "cabbies." | Although the clothiers lost, one thing to their credit is that they held the Mid-Town's ace line of W. Keeler, C. Crandall and "Ozzie" Keeler scoreless for the first time this season. Pitt's Electric vs. Robson Leather By a score of 4-1, Pitt's Electric continue on their winning streak and for this season lave yet to be defeated. Of course, up to date, they have met most of the teams on the lower rungs of -the ladder, the schedule coming up will prove to be .a' little tougher, so we shall see what we shall see. McWilliams in the Pitt's net play- ed his usual good game, repeatedly turning back the efforts of the best ot course a lot of credit goes to the Pitt's ound defenive of Baxter, Ty- on, Smith and Andrews, who seem to be adept at steering the opposi: tion into the nearest corner.
