& THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, March 26, 1965 SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR "Everything From Soup To Nuts' TORONTO MARLIES served notice in the Liftlock City last night that they have no intention of rolling over and play- img dead, in their current OHA Junior "A" semi-final series with the 'Petes'. On Sunday afternoon, when Chuck Goddard, the Peterborough goalie, performed miracles to enable his mates to snatch a 2-1 win in the series opener, right in Ma- ple Leaf Gardens, it looked very much as if the Junior Petes might be on the verge of pulling off an upset. They still might -- but as of now, they no longer have any edge or margin. "Petes" lost that last night, right at home, when they got the only goal of the first period and then the power- ful Marlboro team battled back for a 6-1 triumph. So that puts the Dukes right back on even terms, with the advantage of having the extra game on their home ice. THE MAD MONTH of March, which seems to drive hockey fans into a dither and particularly the Oshawa types, when the Generals are embroiled in playoffs, has reached a peak in just two weeks that already rivals (almost) those wild, hectic days of the late "'thirties' and early "forties", when bedlam reigned among the hockey folk of this city and dis- trict. They were lining up in the small hours of the morning, yesterday, for the ticket sales to start and before all the cus- tomers were served -- the SRO sign was up. A lot of fans were disappointed, it has been suggested about 200-or-so, but word from the Civic Auditorium this morning is that they still have a limited number of standing room tickets for tomorrow night's game -- and that they will go on sale at the main box office, just before game time, which, by the way, is eight o'clock. DETROIT RED WINGS settled the question of first place in this season's final NHL standing, with a 7-4 win over the N.Y. Rangers, last night in Detroit. It's the first time the Red Wings have won The Prince of Wales Cup, league champion- ship, since 1956-57, Leading the way was ex-Oshawa Generals star, Alex "Fats" Delvecchio, who scored three of the seven goals. Norm Ullman scored two goals, which boosted his total to 41 forthe season, highest in the league. However, Ullman still trails Stan Mikita by five points. The Hawks' ace has 87 with one game to go -- Ullman has two games left, both against Leafs, this weekend. About the only thing at stake in this pair of games is prestige, a chance for Leafs to test their strategy against the Red Wings but, and this is important, The Vezina Trophy rests on the scoring results of these two games. Rangers popped four on Crozier last night, which, if we remember rightly, makes the Detroit goalie all éyen with Toronto Leafs' Bower-Sawchuk combination. If Red Wings want to win The Vezina for their goalie, we may see them stress defensive play in both games this weekend. On the other hand -- Normie Uliman would like at least five or six more points, so-0-0-0 ? ? ? ? OSHAWA SKI CLUB will host the Ontario Senior Jumping Championships, on Sunday, with action out at the club's grounds, near Kirby, getting underway at two o'clock in the afternoon. The recent snowfalls (with one more today) may have bugged the rest of the natives but the ski enthusiasts are wild about it. This has made conditions perfect for this weekend, to hold an event that was originally scheduled for Temiskaming, but had to be cancelled. Ontario and the country's top jumpers will be competing for the honors, in- eluding Gerry Gravelle of Hull, Canadian champion in 1963 and currently the North American champion. Others expected to show include Oshawa's own "Bucky" Richards, former On- tario "C'"' class champion; Bob Rodak of the home club, Southern Ontario champion; Julio Cote, another Oshawa Club jumping star; Eric Kurrie and Frank Arko of Midland; Frank Gartrell of Hamilton, former Olympic competitor; Rheal Se- quin of Ottawa and Seppo Ruhanen, of Sault Ste, Marie. Looks like a day of top entertainment for Oshawa Ski Club members and other interested spectators. Generals Face Tough Chore By GERRY SUTTON It takes goals to win hockey games and a few of these are needed Saturday night if Oshawa Generals expect to stay alive in their semi-final series with Niagara Falls Flyers. RED WING HEROES -- These five Detroit Red Wings' players got an em- brace from coach-General The home-free Detroit Red Wings can start counting their loot today. They will be busy calculating their share of the $40,500 pot to be split into approximately 18 equal portions as their reward for coming home ahead of the pack in the National Hockey League's annual scramble.

Junior Wings Lose Lewicki HAMILTON (CP) -- Hamil-| ton Red Wings will have a new coach for the second year in a row when they open the 1965-66 Ontario Hockey Association Junior A season next October. The position was delcared vacant Wednesday after a dis- cussion between present coach Danny Lewicki and Jimmy Skinner, chief scout for the De- troit Red Wings of the National Hockey League and_ general manager of the Hamilton club. Lewicki relinquished the post because he declined to move to Hamilton from the Toronto sub- urb of Etobicoke, as requested by Skinner. A new coach will not be named before June. "They feel the coach should live here," said Lewicki. 'But it would be too big a gamble for me to move my family to Hamilton on a year-to-year ba-| sis.

In defeating the Rangers and winning the Prince of Wales trophy -- emblematic of first place over regular season play --the Wings once again received the necessary power from their three top scorers. Team captain Alex Delvec- chio led the way, as his three- goal effort netted him his 23rd, 24th and 25th season markers. In addition the veteran centre Norm Ullman, the flashy lit- tle centre, whipped home his 40th and 4ist goals: to aid the Red Wings cause and enable him to take over goal-scoring honors from Chicago's Bobby Hull. : Veteran rightwinger Gortdie Howe picked up three assists as his contribution to the trio's splurge, which now consists of Marlies Even | Semi-Final Set » PETERBOROUGH (CP) -- Toronto Marlboros dumped Pe-| terborough Petes 6-1 Thursday night to move into a 1-1 tie ialplied for Cornwall. their Ontario Hockey Associa-; tion Junior A best-of-seven seni-jals 30-29. final. : The third game of the series) will be played in Toronto Sun-| y.

Following is the schedule for the two semi-final series: SERIES A Detroit vs. Chicago Thursday, April 1, Chicago at Detroit NHL BIG SEVEN By THE CANADIAN PRESS While the National Hockey League team race ended when Detroit Red Wings clinched the title Thursday night, the indi- vidual scoring pot continued to simmer. Stan Mikita of Chicago Black Hawks, current leader with 87 points; found Detroit centre orm Ullman continuing . to close the gap. Ullman potted two more goals--his 40th and 4ist--as the Wings downed New York Rangers 7-4. These, added} to his equal number of assists, left Ullman five shy of Mikita's total at 82. Gordie Howe, the Detroit vet- eran, strengthened his hold on third poition as he picked up three assists to go with his 28 goals for an aggregate 76 points. Chicago's Bobby Hull re- mained in fourth spot with 71. Another Detroit veteran,' Alex Delvecchio, came up with a three-goal, one-assist perform- ance against the Rangers to give him 66 points and enable him to edge past Claude Pro- vost of Montreal Canadiens. The deposed Provost now moves back to sixth position, two points back of Delvecchio. The seventh spot is shared by Chicago's Pierre Pilote . and Rangers' Rod Gilbert with 59 points apiece.
