PRA 4h 8 4) | Li ac AAAI rd To a Tr, EERTITIATNAL asl v THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1948 ty A PACE TEN ------ J BY PORT NAPSHOTS Frank "Sully" Sullivah, who has been uncorking quite a few very valuable hard shots from scrambles to score important goals away from home, in the last three or four weeks, came up with just such » drive last night in Galt to give the Generals a 4.3 victory over the Rockets and vault them into top spot in the O.H.A. Junior "A" race with 24 wins, a tie and 49 points in 30 games played. Windsor has 47-for-21, 'Oshawa scored the first two goals of the game, Joe La- France popping one with the aid of his mates Scott and Pogue. Then eo. H. Campbell "Dick Gamble notched a tally on Chuck Blair's pass, making it 2.0, ./only $0 have the homesters come back and tie it up. Neither team scored in the middle canto and in the 3rd period, Gerry Scott put Oshawa in tront only to have Wiggie Wylie tie it up with his second goal of the night. A minute later, Sullivan made it 4-3 and it 43 ended there--much to the discomfort of a packed house of Galt rooters. Oshawa drew three penalties in the first period and Galt none and two-to-one in the third period but less in the scoreless 2nd. LJ a . LJ Reports on the game state the Generals were nothing short of "brilliant in Stratford, with the Scott-Pogue-LaFrance line playing in * sensational style. Stratford's only tally was a deflected shot off Olek- sluk's arm, to rob Pipuette of a shutout. The Gens were a little tired for their game in Galt, the very next night, but had lots of scoring chances and might easily have won by a wider margin, A bad rebound play and failure to smother the puck, by Piquette himself, let Wiggle Wylie tie the score for Galt last night in the 3rd period. Pogue grabbed off two assist points last night and turned in another great checking and offensive display. but couldn't match his great game in Stratford on Monday night. The Generals arrived home very tired but otherwise all in tip-top shape and "just waiting to get at Windsor oh Saturday night. There was no serious injury sustained by any player in their two- night stand at Stratford and Galt. [J > » - Making it a very rugged week indeed, the Generals now plan at Jeast one workout and perhaps two, prior to their big game here Saturday night, when they enfertain the Windsor Spitfires. Last night's stellar 4.3 victory in Galt marked the second time the Gen- erals had won in Galt while they lost and tied in their two games here. Besides putting Oshawa in first place, all alpne, for a least a day, it widens the gap over Barrie Flyers and increases their victory streak another notch. They've been mighty hot for the past three weeks and now with a total of 49 points, they need only two more victories to make it impossible for Barrie to catch them. The Flyers have 34 points now and 9 games left to play. Oshawa has two games with Barrie and a win in either of those will be enough to assure Oshawa of at least 2nd plate. In the meantime, they have more points than Windsor, but of course they have played three more games than the Windsor Spitfires. A win over Windsor here this Saturday night would bring the Generals within "one loss" of Windsor's standing, de * +* Interest in Saturday's game here with Windsor is already at fever pitch and we expect a new record for attendance to be set at the Oshawa Arena, at least for this season, if not for all-time. Fans not "safe" with subscriber's seats are inquiring" about tickets as early as Tuesday morn- ing--they don't go on sale until Thursday and of course, there are few available anyway. It should be a great game and it-could mean the beginning. .of a skid for the Spits. Windsor hasn't tasted defeat since they played in Galt on Nov. 29 and that tie in Galt last week is their only blemish in a wonderful string of victories. Perhaps the Generals could snap it off here Saturday. At Galt, Spitfires were minus three of their regulars. Butch Houle, their defence ace, is out with a broken wrist. Bruce Giesbrécht is out with torn ligaments and has his leg in cast. Gord Haldy, one of their ace forwards, has been suspended by the team, for some reason or othér. Could it be that all is not well in the camp of the team leading the league for so long? Speaking of in- Juries, Galt Rockets are happier now. Wiggie Wylie was operated upon on Dec. 22 and he was playing against Windsor on Jan. 24. when an appendix operation meant the end months, for a hockey player, ot of ; ¢ the press and were out-of-line, at Gall, with policemen actually needed, were certainly serious enough. Was a day of the season or at least two LJ "- LJ Norm. Webster, who had his wrist broken in a game here, is also back with the Rockets and they are quite optimistic about their playoff chnaces. However, Galt's defeat last night spoiled their chance of passing Barrie and moving into third place. As it is, they are only one joint ahead of Stratford Kroehlers with the same number of games played and we still have an idea that Kroehlers are going to finish in 4th spot, just behind Barrie. At that, the 6th. place club might be a soft touch" for Galt in the playoffs and should they meet in the other round, Stratford and Barrie would likely each whale the "behoozis" out of each other, perhaps to the point where the winner could be "pickings" for Galt--and if it all worked out that way, Galt Rdtkets would be in the finals. There's a dream that Laurie Brain of Galt will likely steal immediately, especially after last night's result, : J * * Rex Macleod of Guelph came up with a worthy observation the her 'day, following Bunny Morganson's statement that press reports "incidents" concerning referees have been exaggerated by members of He points out that a couple of affairs * He adds that Bunny should drop around and see some of the "hey rubes" in these games, "The only exaggerated stories we've noticed about the OHA. this season were those penned by Morganson pertaining to the efficiency of his refereeing staff"--quips MacLeod. Maybe Rex has an tulcer or two acting up this week because he also blasted at the C.A.H.A. after this Bettio affair, He points out here that any NHL. team can summon some of their "chattels" to play on a team closer to the "own- ing" club, at practically anytime in the season and then if the C.AHA. f cl should decide to suspend as alleged protection for their teams, the N.H.L. ub merely signs the player to a pro contract and all is forgiven--or , forgotten, as it might as well be. > " ® . FUTURE GAMES--In Junior "A" hockey tonight, Windsor Spit. fires get a chance to climb back in a first place tie with Oshawa, when they play the Toronto Marlboros at home. Anything but a win in the game would be disastrous for Windsor. St. Mike's play at Stratford, and the game will probably be a rousing one, especially with the hometown fans a little piqued after their team's loss to Oshawa Monday night. Barrie will be at St. Kitts and as usual, Barrie will play it rough and so will St. Kitts for that matter .... Orono plays at Whitby tonight and a return visit in Orono tomorrow Q@| St. Moritz, Jan. 28--(AP)--A swirling blizzard raged in St. Mor- itz today, piling up tons of trouble on ski runs and ice rinks and eclipsing in the eyes of most ath- letes the alphabetical battle over whether it will te A-H.A, or U.S. 0O.C. representing the United State in the Olympic hockey games Friday, The I.LLH.F. thus stood pat on decision to include the AH group. Avery Brundage, chairman of the United States Olympic Com~ mittee, had opposed the A.H.A. as the official United States repre- sentative and had sought to have the United States Olympic com- mittee's team substituted. The draw took place while the its 111 to 4. The executive ¢ommittee of the Inter- national 'Olympic Committee was weighing the arguments of the United States Olypie Committee against the A.H.A, representing the United States. The A.H.A. team was expected to arrive today from Zurich, where it defeated the town club last night, eriod scores were 5-8, 2-0 and 4-1, the Olympic press buréau said. Draw 'Announced The draw for' the hockey tour- nament matched these teams after the opening game: Jam 30 at 2 p.m.--Canada vs. Sweden; * Poland. vs. = Austria; Czechoslovakia vs. Italy. The LLH.F. algo decided to op- erate the games on one pool sys- tem calling for eight games for each of the nine entries in a 10-day tournament. Each country will play the others once. The Federation later today was expected to decide how the points will be allotted. Meanwhile a swirling blizzard was raging, piling up tons of troulle on ski runs and ice rinks and eclipsing in the eyes of most athletes the A.H.A. controversy. Starting at dusk, the storm had frosted the Olympic capital with six inches of snow by midnight, A week-end snow already had Snows No Good Ice rinks yesterday had to be cleared enough to permit full use by hockey players, figure and speed skaters.

Oshawa Registers First Two Goals but Homes- ters Tie It Up in 1st Period -- No Goals in Fast Middle Frame -- Sullivan's Shot Pro- vides Winning Goal -- "Wiggie" Wylie Scores Twice for Rockets -- Scott, LaFrance and Pogue Shine Again Notice of dispossession was serve ed on Windsor Spitfires last night by Tommy Anderson's Oshawa Generals who took over top spot in the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "A" race with a 4-3 decision over the fourth-place Galt Rockets at Galt, It was Oshawa's 24th win in 30 starts. The Rockets are one point be- hind Barrie Flyers and one point ahead of Stratford Kroehlers. It was anybody's game until the 16-minute mark of the final stan- za when Frank Sullivan registered the winning tally. Most Scoring In First The Generals took an early lead, scoring within the first 10 minutes on goals by Dick Gamble and Joe LaFrance. Galt evened the first period count with George Bur- cham's. goal and when with less than two minutes to go "Wiggie" Wylie scored on a passing play with "Robby" Robertson and Harry Pidhirny, The second frame went scoreless. George Scott stole the puck from Wylie in front of the Galt net to beat the Galt netminder, but Wy- lie redeemed himself at the 15- minute mark with another counter. A minute later Sullivan got the winning goal on a screened shot.

It was the last-place Hawks who bounced Toronto out of a leader- ship tie by holding the Leafs to a 4-4 deadlock at Chicago Sunday. The Leafs were smarting under this setback and in none too ami- able a frame of mind for the meet- ing with Canadiens, who beat the Leafs 8-4 in Montreal less than two weeks ago. The Leafs drilled hard for this one and rookie Sid Smith, who combined with Max Bentley for the twa goals' that beat Chicago here Saturday, was flying as usual des- pite a broken nose received in the Sunday game at Chicago. Coach Dick Irvin also had the Canadiens working hard in prepa- ration for the Toronto game. He tried out Bob Nillion at left wing on the punch line with Maurice Richard and Elmer Lach. Irvin had little to say about the queer announcement from the Montreal Forum that some fan had threatened to burn down the rink unless Irvin was. relieved of the coaching duty. He did jokingly ex- press to his men the hope .that they'd turn out to be better fire- fighters than hockey players. :53 Times-Gazette classified ads pay --Why not try one today. donald, and Kinloch's " awa Dairy against Eveleigh's Beaton's Dairy in the nightcap. fills out the Junior "B" schedule , . . .
