But for some unaccountable reason that's just the advice the Oshawa ish and Game Association DIDN'T follow in the matter of the Mary Pick- ford Trophy. It's given for the club doing the "most for conservation the province of Ontario', Now it was well publicized that the local group won the Scotty Uren Memorial Trophy as the top conservation outfit in the Zone, but in the acse of the Pickford Trophy, such was not the case. The first inkling we had of the win, was when Bill Lang, noted fishing authority, recent- ly returned from Mexico, walk- ed into the office here yester- day morning and talked of his troubles in getting the loving cup over the border after ac- cepting it from Mary Pickford down in Hollywood back in 1936. Lang was shocked that we ddn't know . . . the Oshawa club had won it this year . . . we were shocked . . , so was everyone else. George Weldon, president of the local club, spent some days polishing the mug up and it was displayed at the monthly meeting of the Association at the Genosha Hotel last night. The meeting was not shock- ed . . . they took it 'in their stride. We hope the public of Osh- awa can do so too. I's a great honor for the club and shows just how far theix ideas of stream improve- ment have been felt. Have a look at that Wilmot Creek proj- ect out near Orone some time. It's worth it, In the department of balling- the-crystal we came out a-grin- nin' over the weekend when the Kingston Goodyears gave the Woodstock Athletics what- for to win the OHA Senior B crown. What-for represents a 18 0 whitewashing. around Christmas, if our mem~ ory serves . . . we figured the team from Western Ontario to reach the Senior hockey final would be the same Woodstock crew. We were at that time staunch supporters of le cause Smith Truckmen and believed them capable of winning the local league and then the On- tario crown. In the midst of the Trucker- .Goodyear final series we pre- dicted the winner of that to take the Ontario crown . . . hoping, naturally, that the Osh- awa gang would do the taking. They didn't, but Kingston did, which makes the locals look pretty good. Enough of that though. We hear the sponsor of the Truck- men is going to give the team smart bench jackets besides the fine banquet coming off in Storie Park League Bowling Banquet The Storie P ark Bowling League's banquet to finish off the year was quite a success on Satur- day evening -- and enjoyed by all who attended.

PARKINSON added another laurel to their Lake- shore COSSA Senior "B" title here on Friday night when they upset the powerful Lion aggregation 61-55 to sapiure the Port Perry and Dis- trict Basketball Trophy. The trophy was donated three years previfus by Murray Lee, Mac Christie, Roddy Foster, Willie Stone, Bob Williams and Jim Baird who com- prised a famed local squad during the 1945-46 season. This marked the third time for which the trophy was played, the high school winning it the first and third times, while | the Port Lions captured it last sea- | son. This year's triumph should stand as a terrific upset for the student ecagers when all the facts are con- sidered. They Sayed the sudden- death game orthanded, using three juniors, two seniors and one senior substitute; they were with- out the services of two regulars | while their high scoring season reg- |ular big Norm Haugen lined up | with the opposition, as he had, of |late, discontinued school. The op- | posing Lions boasted eight {enced men and were being picked | to take it fairly easily but the PPHS lads upset the predictions. The game got underway sharp at eight, with Bill Dell of Oshawa in charge. The free scoring first quarter saw the scholars edge into a slight 17-14 edge with Warriner Owen and Lawrence of the high school providing most of the scor- ing punch--something they continu- ed to do throughout the game. The Lions scoring was well distributed between Griffin, Wallace, Storry {and Hayes, | In the second quarter the PPHS quintet not only hung onto their narrow lead but increased it by one to raise the score to 31-27 in their favour. During this period, Griffin {lead the Lions with five points, | while Storry counted two baskets, Christie and Hayes each potting {one field goal. For the students, Bud Warriner counted eight points Port Perry High School cagers |p experi- | 4} "ie Port Perry H.S. Cagers Take District Basketball Trophy to lead the PPHS attack and so far Warriner was the best man on e floor. ENJOY SLIGHT EDGE The third quarter opened with the students enjoying a four-point fhargil the game was still a toss- up with the fans at any time expect- ing the house to collapse on the defense the students had thrown up. This was not to be, quite the reverse, for the PPHS lads romped into a ten-point lead before the quarter ended, making the score at the three-quarter mark see PPHS in the lead, 46-36. The dif- ference in this quarter was foul shooting as the students picked up seven points on free-throws (four of these being by Owen), while the Lions missed on the few chances Lawrence, Owen and Warriner clicked for a total of 14 points, with Waldinsperger provided one good free-throw during the third quarter. The lions counted but nine Pinta during the same interval, allace notching four while Chris- tie and Griffin tallied three and edge held by the eagers was never to be completely erased although the Lions came up with their strongest scoring effort of the game and all but knotted the count early in the quarter. t was then that Lions eounted three consecu- tive quick baskets without a reply , from the students. After taking a rather belated time-out the students straightened out and went on a scoring splurge of their own that saw the Lions call time out. With three minutes to go the PHS squad had a nine-point lei and al the Lions lead by and Christie but on a strong bid in | the dying minutes they fell short of knotting the count by six. The final tally was 61-56 for PPHS. Rookie Sinclair Robertson, playing his first regular game as a senior, was the insurance man for the high-schoolers as four potted points in the last flve minutes of the contest, at a time when they atte! were most valuable. For the los- ers Griffen was the big gun in the final quarter as he racked up nine points, half hig total for the night. GRIFFON TOPS LOSERS Griffen thus lead the Lions of- fensively with 18, while Wallace | and Storry each counted 11 points, | followed by Christie with seven, | and Hayes with six. Big Norm Hau- | gen, the ex-PPHS cager had no luck against his old mates and failed to tally, as did Brunton, while Sulman was well off his game con- tributing one basket toward the Lions cause. | From the victor's standpoint. you've to hand the first star to big Bud Warriner who shifted to forward on a short handed team and rolled up 22 points while play- ing centre. For Warriner who had | been a big factor in 1wo great | Lions' wins in Whitby-Port ODBA | fixtures, as well as sinking the shots that won two thrillers for PPHS at the Queen's tournament, it wag a fitting end to a fine sea- son. Lawrence was also hot for the students as he notched 18 but | points. Owen and Waldinsperger blayed a full game on guard and their rebounding and play making also were determining factors as was their shooting obvious in the scor column; Owen counting 11 and: Waldinsperger four, Rookie Sine Robertson with five and Larry Kendall with one rounded off the scoring for the highschoolers. The game that saw the District Trophy go to the PPHS all-stars was a good one from beginning to end and was keenly contested at every moment. Lion§ used five time-outs while the students used four. Bill Dell called a close game and # paid off for the students as. good foul shots out of 25 attempts | while the Lions notched only nine ints from the foul line, out of 1 tries. Thus the PPHS lads in some way atoned for the game they | lost to Midland 60-58 in the COSSA "B" semi-finals in a game in which | they iade 15 out of 44 pre-throw | mpts. | Thousand | Guineas two days later--a tough | O'KEEFE"S "Lots of action" by Nat Turofsky Baseball Spring Trainine *When a ball is hit hard to the infield, a Rilotgrapher is sure of catching a his is a special favourite of mine. good shoa, irst baseman--Ed Stevens--the batter and wmpire are all showing lots of action."
