One more Hamilton Red Wing defeat, or an Oshawa victoty is curtains for Red Wings in their bid for the final playoff spot.

Wings will ly officially pack it in on Friday night, when they tangle SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' OSHAWA GENERALS came from behind a 2-0 deficit to tie the score with two goals in the second half of the second period, last night in the Liftlock City but in the final frame, the Petes punched in three goals, in the last five minutes, to take the decision 5-3. Ron Naud and Mickey Redmond, with a pair of goals each, were the stars for the homesters while George Vail and Bill Little scored for the Generals. It was a rugged game with nine penalties in the second stanza aloné -- and none for a mere trip, they were for cross-checking, high- sticking and roughing. The win moved the Petes up within two points of fourth-place Niagara Falls while Montreal Jun- ior Canadiens moved within two points of Mariboros by win- ning their game over Hamilton Red Wings 7-3. In this one, Andre Boudrias scored three goals to boost his league-leading total. Hamilton's defeat left Oshawa's 11-point margin intact and one more loss for the Wings or another win for the Gen- erals, and the playoff berth is clinched. x x x x OSHAWA JUVENILES came through with flying colors, here at the Children's Arena last night with a 10-3 victory over Kingston, to even up their Ontario Minor Assoc. playoff series. Gary Kitchen and Ian McNamee, with three goals apiece, Paul Gibbens and Bob Edmunds with three assists apiece, these were the top guts in a game that saw every member of the team contribute, four others with goals, as many more in the assist column and all the others playing fine defensive games. The third game is tomorrow evening, five o'clock, in Kingston. We have been asked to point out that the Oshawa Juvenile rooters have chartered a bus to take the trip to Kingston on Saturday. In the story of last night's game, elsewhere on this page, is given a telephone number, for any interested hockey fans seeking information about. this trip. Meanwhile, over in Peterborough's Arena tonight, at 8:30 o'clock, Peterborough Midgets play Oshawa Midgets in the third and deciding game of their OMHA playoff round. x x x 4 SIGNS OF SUMMER! There are a couple of important meetings scheduled for this Sunday that serve to herald the approach of the summer season, even if the skiers are enjoy- ing their best part of the winter, right now. On Sunday after- noon, two o'clock, at the Oshawa Children's Arena, the Osh- awa City and District Softball Association is holding a meeting, to accept 1964 affiliations from local OASA teams and to name their delegates to the annual OASA convention, which is being held in Owen Sound this year, first weekend in April... . ALSO ON SUNDAY, at 7:39 p.m., the Oshawa Minor Lacrosse Assoc. is holding a meeting at the home of Jim Bishop, 808 Glencairn, The local minor lacrosse group is in need of adult volunteers to act as team managers, coaches, serve on the executive, etc. .It is hoped that a good turnout of willing work- ers shows up for this session, ONTARIO has only won the Canadian Schoolboy Curling championship once -- that's when Bob Walker, Dunc Brodie, Clair Peacock and Bob Burr of Oshawa went out to Saska- toon and brought home the bacon -- in the early 50's. Now the Owen Sound rink stands a good chance of copping the honors. They dropped a tough 9-8 decision to the shorthanded but very strong Manitoba representatives, in their 9th round game last night, but Ontario still has lost only twice -- one less than three others tied for second. The Owen Sound boys have played one less game. They face the favored Alberta rink and Quebec today and a win over Alberta will assure them of at least a tie for the top. Two wins will give them the title. Oshawa Kingston After being held almost even for the first two periods, Osh- awa Juvenile All-Stars struck for seven goals in the third period, with only one reply, here at the Oshawa Children's Arena last ni tario Minor Hockey Association 2nd Round playoff series with the Kingston Juveniles, at one win apiece. the set will be played in King-| ston (they won the toss) on Sat-| ufday evening at 5.00 o'clock.| Oshawa Juvenile hockey fans are chartering a bus to take a large contingent to the Lime- istone City for Saturday's game.

They'd almost blown a sure thing. Canadiens escaped with a nar- row 3-2 win over Bruins in the only NHL game played Thurs- day night after surrendéring a comfortable 3-0 lead in the dy- ing minutes. Boston stunned the sloppy Ca- nadiens and a Forum crowd of 14,074 fans that was beginning to head for the exits with a tremendous rally that fell just one goal short. Doug Mohns banged in his seventh goal of the season dur- ing a scramble in front of the Canadiens net at 18:10. of the third period and Jerry Toppaz- zini sent the fans hustling back to their seats at 19:16 with his sixth of the campaign. Bruins then removed Ed Johnston from the nets for an extra forward, but the jittery Canadiens pulled themselves to- gether to spike Boston's dreams of a tie. The win moved Montreal back into a tie with Chicago for first place at 71 points. Canadiens, jwho have played two games jless than the Hawks, meet Chi- cago in a showdown clash in Montreal Saturday. "At least we realized we played badly," Ralph Back- strom admitted in the gloomy Canadiens room, "and we'll be better prepared to play the Hawks," Coach Toe Blake called the team 'very disorganized' and conceded Canadiens could eas- ily have lost "because Boston could have scored a few goals a lot earlier." Claude Provost scored twice for Canadiens and Bobby Rous- seau tallied on a smoking slap- shot from outside the blueliife that made Johnston cringe and hit the deck. The Bruins goalie thought it was going over th net and was concerned his hand might so with it. Jean Beliveau: helped set up both Provost's goals, one in the first and the other in the third, to earn his 44th and 45th as- Sists of the season and stay within six points of the scoring leader, Chicago's Stan Mikita. Johnson also looked weak on Provost's first goal, fanning on his blueline drive early in the first period. Rousseau then fooled him with the long dis- tance: drive and Johnston proved that misfortune comes in threes when he handed Pro- vost his second marker. Beliveau, who missed half the first period when shaken up, tested Johnston with a drive in the third period and the Bruin goalie came out of his net to bat away the rebound. But he knocked it onto the stick of Pro- vost, who tapped it home.

In "A" Series, Bud's defeated McGrath Plumbing 5-4 and in "p" Series Beaupre Spur de- feated Foley's 7-5. On Monday, February 17, Bud's eliminated McGrath 6-4 and moved into the finals. This was a real see-saw battle right down to the last bell, as both teams played great hockey. McGrath's suffered a great blow in the first period as Brai- den, netminder, had. to be taken from the game, after stopping a hard shot on his ankle. However, Collins of Beaupre Spur stepped in and did a great job. e MeGrath's team were foiled time-and-time again, due to the skillful netminding of Jim Hink- son of Bud's, and the fine check- ing of all the forwards, led by young Dave Scott who has play- ed a great series.
