PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, 'APRIL 2, 1948 Youngest Curler in Bonspiel A rink of very competent young curlers from Oshawa are performing with distinction in the first annual "Ontario Schoolboys Bonspiel", being held at the Guelph Curling Club, yesterday and today. Rinks are entered from all over the province, Sault Ste. Marie, Wingham, Huntsville, Gan- anoque, etc., being all represented as well as all the closer clubs. Oshawa's four school boy curlers are Ted Sanders, Gordon MacDonald, Bobby Walker and "Bud" Moore, skip. Youngest curler in the entire bonspiel (32 rinks, 128 Ontario boys) is Bobby Walker, 13, son of Mr, and Mrs. Leonard Walker, 73 Kenneth Ave. In addition to being a "southpaw", he has plenty of style in his delivery as well as skill in accuracy and weight. He is shown above in the act of delivering the 4-1b. stone, from "the hack." ~Photo by Campbell's Studio -------- PORT NAPSHOTS ---- BY Geo. H. . Campbell | 1t looks as if Oshawa's long-awaited closed sports stadium, equipped with floodlights, is to btcome a reality. Thanks to the energetics and ambitious attitude of the civio-minded Oshawa Kinsmen, the project is now under way and following the enthusiastic greeting accorded the move by representatives of local sport bodits at the meeting last night, everything is now: ready to go ahead. Lacrosse, baseball, rugby, softball and track and field enthusiasts attended the meeting and all' pledged thelr 'support, as well as congratulated the Kinsmen Club for their leadership. It's to be known as the Kinsmen's Civic Memorial Stadium and the Oshawa Branch 43 of the Canadian Legion is also warmly en- dorsing the project: It is hoped to have-it ready by the end of July of this summer. y + * + 'Don't miss' that all-important Ontario Rural Hockey Association sudden-death, game for the championship, at the Oshawa Arena tonight, when Haliburton Huskies tangle with the Breslau Red . Shirts in the third and deciding game. If you want to see two teams go at top speed for the full 60 minutes or more, with hockey as their only objective and the puck as their only interest, take in the game. The Breslau team, comprised entirely of left-handed stick wielders, is a doughty band of battlers who came from behind to win their last game and in this boy Garner, they have a real hockey prospect. We heard that he has another year of junior heckey too! Haliburton has a fine team 'of strong skaters also, They play hard and they play clean--don't miss this game tonight, L 4 J Ld Then there's the big game tomorrow night when Markham Million- aires tangle with Georgetown Raiders at the Oshawa Arena in the third 'game of their Inter.

It will be a "civic" stadium since it will Oshawa's only open-air, enclosed sports park and it was completely endorsed that it should a "Memorial" structure, to the emory of Oshawa and district's men who gave their lives in the recent conflict. The discussion brought forth the estimate that the structure could be completed and ready for use by the end of July of this summer.

Plans are to go forward immediately, ICE FROLICS Now In Veteran Class As Producers of Ice Shows, Oshawa Skaters Are Ready Club Members Have Worked Hard and Are Confident That 1948 'Ice Frolics' Will Make Hit With Local Audi- ences -- Experienced Oshawa Skaters and Guest Artists Will Make Pleasing Combi- nation of Top-Notch Ice Entertainment It takes more than just a desire to organize and produce a skating carnival of the magnitude of "Ice Frolics of 1948." The Oshawa Skat. ing Club has spent eight years learning the hard way in producing ice shows. This year's edition of "Ice Frolics" is the eighth annual and much hard work and heartaches have gone into the building and planning of each show. The first and main requirement of an ice carnival is of course skat. ers. Now figure skaters are not just picked off the street, although this has happened iti one of two instan. ces. Your skaters must be coached and trained by a capable professi. onal skater who is well schooled in Carnival procedure. The Oshawa Skating Club started out with a large membership nine years ago and it has steadily grown over the year. Oshawa Clab Now Strong The backbone of the club has been the advancement of the Junior skaters who have graduated year after year to the senior ranks. Almost every year, the Oshawa Skating Club has a new professional skater and this meant new styles to conquer and new faces to meét. However for the past three seasons the Oshawa skaters have been for. tunate in having Alex Fulton as their instructor and being able to continue with this one style has béen a big help in building this year's show: Alex Fulton is a former Canadian Champion skater and came to Osh. awa direct from the RCAF. In 1948, his first season 'here he pro. duced one of the most successful Ice Shows the club has had. Each sum. mer he moves to Schumacher, to the "Skaters Paradise" where he has taught in the summer skating school with such pupils as Barbara Ann Bcott and Yvonne Sherman under his tutelage. After a success- | ed ful summer season he returned to Oshawa and once again laid plans for the 1948 Oshawa Carnival, ° With two years of valued experi. ence as a marker, Alex Fulton has built 'a show this year which he hopes will 'eclips¢ anything ever previously attempted locally. Outstanding Guest Stars Heading a star.studded list of guest artists, who are being brought to Oshawa to top.off the splendid program arranged, is none other than Andra McLaughlin, most.-talk. ed.about American amatéur lady skater today. This pretty member of the New York Skating Club holds the American Silver Skates champi. onship, as well as eight other titles and those who have seen her per. form declare she is a beautiful skater with amaging crowd-appeal. Then there are Irene Maguire and Walter Muehlbronnier, rated ag the top.flight skating pair in the world today. They hold the American "gold" dance championship and the waltz championship also. Miss Maguire, who's beauty rates here with Hollywood's loveliest, is a ver. satile performer. In 1946 she captur- ed the American ladies' - senior roller_skating title, but she prefers the flashing blades, for her best in. terpretations. Gerry LaCroix, no stranger to Oshawa "Ice Frolic" patrons, will again provide a share of the comedy, So necessary to the success of any viriety: program. He hails from Sherbrooke, Quebec, and. having only recently celebrated the "proud poppa" routine, he should be in top form for the Oshawa show. Nicholls & Perry, an adagio team who do things on skates that most people wouldn't dare attempt on a padded floor, are certain to prove one of the show's highlights. Best Music Procurable Leaving no stone unturned and quoting the other old bromide "sparing no expense," the officials of the Oshawa Skating Club hgve gone all out to assure the best in music for their skaters in the "Ice Prolics of 1948," Under the direction of the well. known Canadian artist, J. Wilson Jardine of Toronto, the Toronto Figure Skating Olub's own orchestra, will provide the accompaniment and musical entertainment at this year's presentation, at the Oshawa Arena, next Tuesday and Wednesday even. ings, and at the matinee. The talént to be contributed by the members of the Oshawa Skating Club, is of exceptionally high order and when you add up this talent. weighted list, it is easily understood why the Oshawa Club officials have! Nigh hopes for their 1048 presenta. on. All that remaing to make it the biggest suceess ®7er, is the support of the local populace. Oshawa the neighbouring district has alway shown keen appreciation of the Oshaws Skating Club's annual ice shows and their support has been faithful. And it has been appreciat. Overflow crowds are anticipated although thére are still some good seats avaiable for both Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The "Ice Frolics of 1948" should be "a must" on your entertainmént agenda and whether you intend to see this show on Tues. day or Wednesday, it is strongly urged that you purchase your tickets at oles, to save possible disappoint. ment. é championships in England and Hurope for many years and as "Monty" puts it--'has won more races than most of us will ever see." * Ld * FUTURE GAMES:.
