EVERYTHING FROM' SOUP TO NUTS" Oshawa Smith Truckmen absorbed one of those clear-cut defeats that occur every so often in a long playoff series, when they came out on the short end of 'a 6-2 score in the 6th game of their best-of-seven affair with Kingston Goodyears, this one played on Kingston's ice last night. It was do-or-die for the Limestone City pucksters and showing their best form of the entire season against Oshawa (even including that 9-1 affair in which the Truckers were off form) the Goodyears took a 2-0 lead in the first period. An attendance of 3,100 saw Oshawa Truckmen stage a comeback fight in the early half of the second stanza, to tle the count, Ronnie Nelson doing the key job in the rally but within a minute the Goodyears had taken the lead again and the period ended 4-2. The homesters added a couple more for insurance in the final frame and sent their fans home very happy indeed. The set-up now is quite simple. Oshawa Smith Truckmen and the Kingston Goodyears play the 6th game of this hectic playoff series here at the Oshawa Arena on Wednesday (tomorrow) evening and while the Kingston team still has its back to the wall, it also begins to look very much as If the Smith Truckmen had better win this one--or else, Certainly, the Oshawa team has won one playoff game on Kingston ice in this series and if the round goes to the full limit of seven games, the Truckers will still be conceded a good chance of winning the crucial game -- but on the other hand, that chance is not as good as it looked two weeks ago. From here, it looks as if Messrs. Gerry Scott, George Samolenko, Ernie Dickens, Ronnie Nelson, Perc Nichols and all the other members of the Truckmen had better be ready to turn in an all-out performance here on their home ice tomorrow night. This is their big chance to clean up the series and eliminate the Goodyears, who are beginning to loom as a major stumbling block to the coveted OHA Senior "B" title, a goal on which the Smith team and their Oshawa rooters have set their sights. At any rate, tomorrow night's game here at the local hockey home should be one of the best and most exciting of the season and should also draw the biggest crowd of the year. The Junior "A" playoffs find St. Mike's visiting Galt Black Hawks tonight for the 4th game of their series and the homesters have to win to even up the series, The fifth game is carded for Maple Leaf Gardens tomorrow night. St. Mike's lead 2-1 in games at the moment and it's a best-of-seven series. Tomorrow night, Toronto Marlboros go to Barrie for the Tth game of their series, which was stretched to a best-of-nine affair but even at that, a win for Barrie tomorrow night on their home ice, will send Flyers into the OHA Junior "A" finals and the Marlies into the discard. The way Toronto hockey fans themselves are resenting the conduct of the Marlboro players (some of them, that is, of course, not all) it might well be there will be a real shake-up in that set-up when next season rolls around. It doesn't matter how good the Marl- boros prove to be--they are not adding prestige to the Gardens if they conduct themselves in such a way as to be definitely unpopular. And while in the throes of playoffs, "Hap" Emms announces out of Barrie that he is definitely retiring as hockey coach there, after this season is over. Emms claims that this time he really means it too!

Abel Sends Hawks Into Habs Territory '|tern Ontario, MONTREAL (CP) -- Well, to- night's the night, but until shortly before game time, Chicago Black Hawks, at least 50 per cent of the attraction at the Forum, will be far from the madding crowd. W. J. (Bill) Tobin, vice-presi- dent and general manager of the Hawks, was the club's sole rep- resentative around these parts Monday. Coach Sid Abel hustled his players to the quiet of the Laurentian mountains shortly af- ter their arrival to make sure they wouldn't be bothered by ticket moochers or well-wishers. : Tobin, however, had several things to say about the team that faces Canadiens for the first time tonight in a best-of-seven Stanley Cup semi-final series, "Sid Abel is the grandest guy I ever met either on or off the ice. He's got the team fighting and 1 think we've got a good chance to win, 8 2 ' "All our players are ready to go. We started our winning drive Feb. 22.

Somewhat g Jim MacPherson, who was sloughed by Gordie Howe in Pe- troit Sunday night, was taken to hospital following the team's arri- val by train Monday night.

'HERE TOMORROW By BOB RIFE KINGSTON -- Kingston Good- years moved into a contending position in their best-of-seven Eas- OHA Senior "B" group finals with Oshawa Smith Truckmen here last night when they whipped the visitors 6-2 be- fore a crowd of 3,172. The victory leaves the Truckmen with a 3-2 edge in the series with the sixth game in Oshawa on Wed- nesday evening. Overconfidence more than any other factor showed in the Oshawa club's play in the Memorial Centre here and with Ernie DicKens off serving a cheap interference pen- alty in the first period, the Good- years struck for two goals and a lead which the Truckmen found very difficult to erase. NELSON FIRES TWO It wasn't till the second period that they got back in the battle, with rugged Ron Nelson potting two goals. That knotted the score 2-2, but in going all out, the Truckmen were forced to watch Kingston steam back in a moment of relaxa- tion to score two answering tallies before the curtain rang down on that period. Another costly penalty occurred in the opening minutes of the third period after Oshawa had a couple of fine chances to make it close. McBeth was chased for holding and while he was away, Al DeLura got the first of a pair of goals for Kingston in the last perioa. That one, plus his second made the final count of 6-2. Play roughened up more than a little in the final session and the series-long feud between Joe Watts of Kingston and Jed Wilson of Osh- awa saw one man hit the ice for a nine-count. TWO INJURIES Watts got Jed on the boards and the latter hit his head on the ice. The result after the game was diagnosed as a slight concussion. This rather hit the Truckmen hard and while they sat back on their haunches the Goodies roared in on Jack Naylor. A flip shot by Al DeLuca was stopped by Jack's stout chin ...however something had to give and it took two stitches 1 mend the cut in Naylor's lower aw. In the first period while Dickens was off, Watts shot to the right corner beside Naylor. DeLuca pas- sed out in front to Murray and that worthy popped in the puck for a 1-0 lead. Just 28 seconds later, Clint Tin-. kess made Naylor look bad when he shot long and a bit wide of the Oshawa cage. Jack tried a toe deflection and in some manner as yet unexplained, the puck was dragged into the net. In the opening minutes of the second frame, Bill Peters fed Ron Neison a long pass into the clear. The centreman shifted one trailing defenceman out of the play and then drew Ken Johnston down and back-handed the puck into the op- en net. Ron's second goal, that tied the game 2-2, came On a carom pass by Jack Thaler of Perc Nichol's blue-line drive, Nelson took the pass and blooped it into the twine. SOLO TALLY Captain George MacGregor of the Kingston crew pushed his team back into a one-goal lead with an- other of his great solo rushes. This one was not successful on first flight, Naylor made the save of the long shot, but MacGregor pick- ed up his rebound and beat the now prostrate Naylor, Don Murray scored on a shot from a scramble in front of the net before the period ended to make it 4-2. His shot went in off Naylor's pads. ' In the final period, McBeth was in the sin bin when Al DeLuca, a fellow Kirkland Lake boy, broke through the defence pair of Dick- ens and Nichols to score neatly on Naylor. Kingston were a man short them- selves when DeLuca got his sec- ond goal and the marker that made the final score of 6-2. Ted Nichol- son fed him a pass from the side of the net and Al shot at the shift- ing Naylor. Jack made a remark- able toe save. Al hopped back and grabbed the reboundshot again. Naylor dived at the puck . ..slow- ed it, but not enough and it dribbl- ed over the line. OSHAWA SMITH TRUCKMEN-- Goal, Naylor; defence, McBeth, Dickens, Peters, Nichols; forwards Scott, ers, Wilson, Nelson, NEED ONE MORE In another hectic play-off game at the Bowmanville Memorial Ar- end on Monday night Parts and Service Central Warehouse took a two game lead over Oldsmobiles with a 5-3 victory. This was the second of their two-out-of-three finals and the next encounter will be this coming Fri- day at the same place. Olds have to enter the win column if they wish to prolong the season. On the other hand Parts are anxious to start their ball season, so the sup- porters should get out for this game. As in every game since the play- offs began, Parts have jumped in- to an early goal or two lead, onlv to lose the advantage, and then the third period saw them come to life again to either get a tie or a win. This proved the case in this game also. In the first period after F| tipped Jim MacGregor's nice pass past Brown for the first goal at 2:08 for an early Oldsmobile lead, Parts fought back hard until the 10:13 mark when they entered the scoring. Don Mountjoy evened things up on a good rush with Ken McAvoy. Later at 15:40 Parts went into the lead' for the first time as Rusty 'Wilson slapped the rubber past Al Reddoch as Bill Berry won the face-off in the Olds end zone. With only one and a half minutes remaining in the period Don Mount- joy gave Parts a two goal lead with his second goal on pretty rush with Steve Sobil and Terry Gra- ham. This ended the period with Parts ahead 3-1. The penalites all went to Olds with Lobb getting one and Wales getting two minor penalties for trips. The middle session was"again a tough one for Parts as the opposi- tion made a real try to get back into the game and it was Clair Brown in the Parts' goal who was their main stumbling block. The Park Road men got a few chances to add to their total but on the whole it was Oldsmobiles' period although they only scored once so the score was still 3-2 at the end of the period with the winners still holding a slight margin. In this period there were also three pen- alties with Decloux and Don Mac- Gregor being sent off for roughing and later Jack Dell for Parts was also sent away for holding the puck. . The third period opened up with both clubs striving for the first goal and finally at 10:50 Olds tied the score as Weeks scored on a power play as Parts were a man short. On this play Rudy Andrews took a pass at the blue line and relayed it back to Weeks near the HOCKEY RESHLTS By THE CANADIAN PRESS Eastern League Johnstown 3 New Haven 7 Maritime Major Halifax 7 Sydne (Halifax leads finals 4-1) Glace Bay 2 Charlottetown 3 (Charlottetown leads best-of-nine semi-finals 3-2) New York-Ontario Cornwall 1 Brockville 8 (Brockville wins best-of-seven fi- nals 4-1) Ontario Senior B Crowland 5 Port Colborne 3 (Best-of-seven semi-finals tied 3-3) Ontario Junior B Berieville 4 Dixie 1 eville leads best-of-seven r- ter-finals 2-1) a Thunder Bay Junior Ft.

Just as Rusty Wilson returned to the ice he a pass at the red line from Bill Berry on a relay from Doug McCabe and he tore in to deke Reddoch and send Parts in front 4-3. Olds had many good chances but it was right after this goal that they missed their best chance as Wales passed to Jim MacGregor and he slapped the puck past the open net, with Brown all the way out of the crease. With only fifty seconds left to full time, Olds were hemming Parts in their own end and Berry broke out again and set Wilson up for his second counter and the game terminated shortly after. In the dying minutes Andrews for Olds and later Berry for Parts got penalties for tripping with no dam- age being done. Referee Ivan Locke handled the game all alone and did a good job as the boys set a fast pace through- out and he was forced to cool the boys out quite often as tempers became frayed.

THL SEMI-FINALS Oshawa Woodview Park Atoms Play 2-2 Tie With Dorvals (and deciding game on an extra- {end for three wins and a { wins and a score of 11. {each wound up with one victory In the THL "Atom" series semi- val team were fading fast. Cocker- final game played at Scarborough [fon had several good shots from last night, Oshawa Woodview Park [the point position only to have his team tied the highly rated Dorvals of Toronto, 2-2. Woodview twice had to come from behind and showed a great fighting spirit to gain the tie and for the latter part of the game they hemmed the Dorvals in their very fast and evenly balanced team and to date they are just about the best that the Woodview lads have come up against. It took the Oshawa kids a while to solve their style of play. For the first five minutes of the game Woodview really put on the pressure and kept the Dorvals in their own end of the rink. Dorvals then received a tripping penalty and shortly after Woodview receiv- ed a penalty for hooking. Neither team could score while having the benefit of the odd play- er but shortly after the teams were back to full strength, Dorval breke away from an Oshawa ganging at- tack with Louie Smith catching the top corner of the net for the first goal of the game. Boddy, Disney and McAvoy, all missed good chances for Woodview as they got in the clear only to be checked before they could get a good shot away. Woodview's sec- ond line then took over and on a ganging attack in front of the Dor- val net, McEachren fought hard for a loose puck and slipped it over to Jimmie Thomson who slapped it in to even the score. Both teams tried hard to break the tie, with Danny Cockerton of Woodview breaking up many a Dorval charge on goal with is very speedy skating, and the first period ended in a 1 to 1 tie. The second period started off with Dorval putting on the pres- sure and they finally broke the tie when "Big Louie' Smith was again left uncovered at the blue line and he took a passout to score on the same identical shot as before. Min- utes later it looked as though Dor- val had scored again but the offi- cials ruled the puck had not gone over the line and this was a big break for the Woodview kids. Facing the one goal deficit, Woodview really put on the gang- ing attack and only the close check- ng of the Dorval squad kept the score down. Several times Dorval had to ice he puck to relieve the pressure as the Woodview team seemed to have more condition and the Dor- own end of the rink. Dorvals are a |to {shot blocked by a defenceman while once McAvoy got a nice breakaway only to trip as he was breaking in over the blue line. McAvoy finally got the tieing goal for Woodview on a pass from Disney with less than two minutes gO. Woodview then did everything but score as they kept Dorval's bottled in behind their own blue line and the final whistle went with Dorvals really struggling to hang on to the tie. Cockerton was once again the standout for Woodview as he play- ed 60 minutes of hockey and was the fastest man on the ice. Me- Avoy was also to the front as he scored one goal and did a fine job of checking Smith in. the latter part of the game. Smith was the big gun for Dor- vals, as he scored both their golas, and led some very dangerous rushes on the Oshawa net. Wood- view Park have yet to lose a game in THL play and while they are now up against the best in To- ronto, we fully expect them to take this semi - final series and if they do they will be strong favorites to win the THL "Atom" series.

'"This time it's definite," Enms said. "This coaching is too rdigh and I'm not getting any yourger. The hockey season takes a lotiout of me. It takes a lot out of jny- body who really wants to wn." Emms said he had receved offers elsewhere, but wouldn't say any more than that they vere "higher than junior." The Flyers currently hold a 4-2 edge in their best-of-nine simi- finals with Toronto Marlboros, with the seventh game scheduled for Barrie Wednesday. F A Cleveland 1 Pittsburgh Syracuse Hershey Providence St. Louis Buffalo 2 rue Calvert sports coun by Elmer Ferguson Trap-shooting is not, of course, vhat might be termed a popular sport. It has a limited participation, an even more limited spectator following. So it was but najural that a glittering hockey star, Rocket Richard of Montreal Canadiens, whose feat in break- ing the ancient lifetime goals record, 324, fled by Nels St t, should have been voted Canada's athlete of the year. Richard is the Babe Ruth of hockey, a dynamic showman, a magnetic figure, But it seems as though the selectors, perhaps soured by Canada's famine of honors at the Olympic Games, over- looked one of the most brilliant achievements of 1952 by a Cana- dian youth. We mean the performance of 17-year-old George Genereux of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the high school boy who won 10 of Canada's total of 30 points, and its cnly Gold Medal, symbol of Olympic supremacy, when ne defeated the greatest trap-shooters in the world. That one so young should win such honors is unusual. That he should lack the acclaim such a per- formance merits, is unfortunate. George Genereux's record in his favorite sport is little short of fabulous. He was only 13 years old when he first started to shoot at the Saskatoon Gun Club. His ability was quickly spotted by Jimmie Girgulis, veteran trap-shooting star. Girgulis was in- troducing his sons to the clay-target busting business one after- noon, by letting them shoot at birds with a .410 shotgun, when George joined it. This proved to be an important meeting, for, from, that time on, tournament-wise Girgulis kept George under his wing and has been his coach and mentor ever since, The first major victory in competitive shooting for George was in 1949, when at the tender age of 14 he shot his way to the Manitoba-Saskatchewan Handicap Championship. Two years later at the 'American Trapshooting Association competitions at Van- dalia, Ohio, he won three North American championships -- the Junior, the Junior All-round and the Junior High Over All Last year at the contests sponsored by the A.T.A. he was runner-up in the Junior Preliminary Handicap Championship, and won the Junior Champion of Champions of North America title. To this he added the Saskatchewan Championship (Singles). Then before going to the Olympics he stopped at Oslo, Norway, where he placed second in the World Championships. George Genereux is just a normal boy. In a game that re- quires chilled-steel nerves, there is no ice-water in his veins. At school, he is a star in hockey and baseball. And a good student.
