BOSTON BRUINS PROSPECT enerals' Bobby Orr Destined For YY GLADMAN (ADVANCE) OSHAWA, Ont. (CP)--March 21, 1966, is a date to be circled on calendars of National Hockey league fans who lean toward Boston Bruins, cellar - dwellers the last few years, On that date, Bobby Orr, five-foot-10, 166-pound defence- man, is expected-to sign a pro contract with Bruins. It will also be his 18th birthday. Orr can be found these days foiling behind the blueline for Oshawa Generals, an Ontario Hockey Association Junior A % farm club of the Bruins. With @ still four years of junior. eligi- bility left, Orr has been ear- | marked for greatness in the NHL. "This boy will be the NHL's next super star," says Boston's general manager, Lynn Pat- rick. es Orr, only 16, has impressive credentials to back up Patrick's confidence. In the 1962-63 cam- paign, Bobby. made the second all-star team with Oshawa in the Junior Metro League. The mere fact that he was playing junior hockey at 14 was a feat in itself. SET SCORING MARK The following year he scored 30 goals to break the junior re- cord of 29 for defencemen, es- tablished two years before by Jacques Laperriere, then with Montreal Junior Canadiens and now a second-year man with the NHL Canadiens. Laperriere was 20 when he set the record, five years older than Orr. Bobby was also the lone un- * animous choice for the league's first all-star team. The fact that he is Boston property doesn't bother the modest, handsome defenceman, despite the Bruins' habit in re- cent years of finishing last. He has always been pro-Boston. |SPONSORED TEAM "I want to play for the) Wren first spotted Orr Bruins," he says. 'They're building for the future and they have the makings of a good club.

'T try to convince Bobby he is one of the greatest prospects in the world, but that doesn't get him to the NHL. He has no false impressions about his ability. He is as well adjusted a por boy as has ever played for me. He is very poised." Bobby, however, admits that sometimes the publicity bothers him. "T make mistakes when I get out on the ice. I feel some- times that I have to live up to all that publicity and, when I don't. the fans get on me." The most trying moments for Orr came last season when he was closing in on Laperriere's record. "T didn't play as much de- fence as I should have. I made a lot of mistakes and the pres- sure was great. I was glad when it was all over." "He is one of the best team men I've had," says Blair. "He doesn't want to be apart from the other guys despite his abil- ity. He doesn't expect any pri- vileges. He is very well disci- plined and I feel discipline is the key to success in anything." ANTICIPATES PLAY On the ice, Orr is as dan-| gerous on the attack as he is| valuable on defence. Blair saw| his only weaknses js that some-| times he is too offensive-| minésd. "This is something he'll work out on his own." Skating, Orr has ;stride and breaks quickly. "His greatest asset," says) |Blair, "is his ability to antici-| |pate the play.
