Oshawa Times Photo ADAMS TROPHY ae ad Boxing Day Bonspiel : Produces High Scores The annual Boxing Day Bon- spiel, held yesterday at The Oshawa Curling Club, once again proved an outstanding success as a full entry list of 32 rinks vied for The Adams Tro- phy and top prizes, in the ~~ festive event that always is extremely popular with the members. Alex Brodie's rink, comprised of Morgan 'Pete' Furey, Rich Vesey, Dunc Brodie and father Alex as skip, copped the day's top prizes and the trophy, with three wins and a total score of 20 plus 6. They played in the 11.00 o'clock draw. Runners-up for the day's top awards were the four members of Jack Elliott's rink, compet- ing in the 9.00 o'clock draw. They amassed total of 18 plus 1 for their three wins. This rink included Jim Timmins, Ivan Parrott, Frank Black and Jack Elliott, skip. SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' TURKEY HASH:- Outside of Jacques Plante, who turned in a couple of terrific games to enable Montreal Canadiens to boost their lead in the NHL race, all the other goalies in the National League were touched by the spirit of Christmas giving, apparently judging from the weekend results. We watched part of that game Leafs lost to Bruins and felt that even Phil Watson must have been ready to admit there really is a Santa Clause . . . NOT NEWS, not really, but Australia has won the Davis Cup for the 10th time in the past 12 years .... HOUSTON OILERS are still the champ- jons of the American Football League. They retained the title they won last year, by beating San Diego Chargers right in San Diego on Sunday, in just about the roughest game the American League has had this season. Tempers were so ragged, they even molested the referee after the game .. . . THIS SUNDAY finds N.Y. Giants and Green Bay Packers clashing in the Wational Football League sudden-death final and we are predicting that this will be a real knock~-'em-down, drag-'em-out affair. Giants and Cleveland Browns were rough in their deciding game and we suspect the New York club will "try Packers for size" this Sunday afternoon and since the Green Bay Boys have the size, we are likely to see a sizzling piece of action, in the line-play and open-field blocking and that "'piling on" business which seems to apply as a penalty only to the third or fourth man and providing he's not more than a half-minute getting into the act... KINGSTON Front- enacs won a clear-cut win right in Kitchener last night and so passed the K-W Beavers to move into first place in the EPHL standing. WHITBY MOHAWKS enjoyed a wonderful Christ- mas weekend, up until last night. Playing with the zest of ambitious title-seekers, they rallied at home on Sat- urday night to nose out St. Mike's and then on Sunday afternoon, they tied Marlboros at Maple Leaf Gardens in a 1-1 thriller. But last night, back at home, Turk Broda's Marlies got a full measure of revenge, when they turned back the Mohawks and once again estab- lished the Metro Junior "A" race as a two-team race between. the Toronto Maple Leafs farm clubs, St. Mike's and Marlboros. The Whitby team appears to be easily the third best club in the league and on their good nights, good enough to take them all. They have added some new players of experience and full Junior "A" status but they're going to have to come up with a better brand of hockey, if they hope to make the league finals .. . BRAMPTON SEVEN-UPS won their Boxing Day tilt over Unionville 6-2 yesterday and the win puts them tied with Unionville for fourth place in the Metro loop. BRIGHT BITS:- Toronto Leafs have lost the serv- ices of the very robust Mr. Shack for about a month. Seem Eddie has suffered torn knee ligaments, a serious injury for any athlete and especially a hockey player . .- HOUSTON OILERS, right after winning their sec- ond-straight American League, took less than 48 hours to sign three of their. star performers, quarterback George Blanda, halfback Billy Cannon and fullback Charley Telar ... YOUNG SKI enthusiasts of this area, who found a coveted pair of fancy "barrel staves" under their Christmas tree on Monday morning, will no doubt cheer if the weatherman favors them today with suffic- ient snow to provide skiing activity for the balance of their Christmas holidays ..

MONTREAL'S Jr. Can- adiens nipped Guelph 5-4 last night ang took over first place in the OHA Junior "A" standings. ' EDGE KEYSTONERS Ajax Cagers Lengthen Their Winning String Ajax Cagers, of the Oshawa Industrial Basketball League, ran their winning streak to six without defeat Friday evening, at Ajax, as they hung on to an early lead to eke out.a close 46-44 win over the second-place Simcoe Hall Keystoners. The Cagers opened up a three- point lead in the Anitial quarter outscoring the Keystoners 12-9. Bill Boyd and Garnet Watchorn led the victors to their early lead hooping eight points between them. Ajax increased their lead in the second stanza, coming on to outnet the losers 16-11. Big Ed. Bibeau paced the winners, sink- ing five points while playing- coach Jim Brad and Roy Clarke replied for Simcoe Hall, splitting seven points to leave their team trailing 28-20 at the halfway mark. Both teams played fine de- fensive ball after the intermis- sion with Ajax coming out on top 13-12. Watchorn, Bibeau and Ted Piotrowski with five, three and three were responsible for the Cagers' points while Clarke and Bill Miklas with five and three points kept the Hall within reach. Simcoe Hall finally came to life in the final period, putting on a last-ditch drive, to over- haul the league leaders, out- hustling them 12-5, but time ran out before they could:notch the equalizer. Roy Clarke and Jim Brady with four points each paced the Keystoners while Gary Newitt scored three points to keep Ajax in front. HIGH SCORERS F Ajax were led to this victory by Garnet Watchorn and Ed. Bibeau with 12 and 10 points apiece while for Simcoe Hall, Roy Clarke and playing - coach Jim Brady were tops with 14 and 10 points respectively. AJAX -- Booth 2, Dickson 1, Watchorn 12, Daze 4, Cardwell, By GERRY BLAIR Apparently Whitby Mohawks figured all they had to do was make an appearance in last night's tilt against the Toronto Marlboros to claim a victory, based on their lazy first period performance. Marlboros took advantage of this attitude with some aggressive skating and splendid forechecking to build up a commanding 4-0 lead. They played on even terms with the Mohawks in the second and third frames, and wound up vic- torious 7-3, before 1,100 fans -- the season's largest crowd. Realizing that they had to &pply more determination, the Mohawks roared back in the second and third periods, out- shooting the Marlboros 29-19, hut unfortunately the damage done in the opening frame could not be covered up. Dune McDonald, Brian Con- acher on a power play, Bob Fer- guson and Gary Jarrett, with Whitby a man short, registered for Marlboros in the initial stanza. Julie Kowalski scored for the Mohawks early in the second period, but three successive pen- alties midway through the period, prevented them from continuing the pressure. Gary Jarrett, with his second and George Cunningham scored in the final minute of the second stanza to put the game out of reach for the Mohawks despite a frantic attack in the last period. Mohawks poured ¥ on in the first ten minutes of the third frame, outshooting the Marl- boros 10-1 during that span, but managed one tally by Bill Col- lins. Elmer Tran, the workhorse of the offensive unit of the Whitby Marlboros Take Whitby Mohawks Via Early Lead club, kept the rally rolling but time was running out, and final- ly Jarrett, completing a hat trick, capped the scoring near the end of the game. SHORT NOTES -- Whitby's defence, a feature of their fine play lately, was sloppy in the first period, and contributed to the wide margin built up by Mariboros... Perani also wasn't as sharp, especially on the speniag goal, when Dunc McDonald drew him out neatly after falling te block the shot, Inet ... Marlboros have now gone five games without defeat, and increased their margin to six points over the third-place Mohawks .. . Brampton Seven- ups continued their improved play by upsetting the fourth place Unionville Seaforths 6-2 yesterday afternoon, right in Unionville. The Seven-Ups now trail the Seaforths by only two points, and eould pull even with a victory over the Mohawks on Thursday night at home... On New Year's Day, the league- leading St. Michael's College Majors play the Mohawks at the Whitby Community arena, starting at 2.30 p.m. ... Last night's victory by the Marlies was their first over the Mo- hawks this season in league play. It evened the five-game series between these two clubs at two wins, two losses and a tie ... Bob Wright and Gary Milroy tangled at centre late in the final period, with Wright -- Milroy three or four before he could get his bear- ings. Milroy got in a couple of shots when he fell on top of Wright as linesmen Ab Barnes and Ivan Locke tried to sep- arate them. That was Bob's sec- land tucked the puck into the| Collin involving the Toronto Mariboros. Sunday afternoon he jostled with Gary Jarrett, but no damage was done.
