SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR verything From Soup To Nuts Oshawa Generals play at home tonight, which means they are making their first appearance of the 1965-66 season before the hometown rooters, at Civic Audi- torium. So far, and they've only been in action about a full week, Generals have played three exhibition games (that's the pre-season camp routine now) and their record ig a good fair -- they lost to Marlboros in Whitby on Satur- y night, 4-2; were well-beaten in Peterborough on Sunday and then held the Memorial Cup champion "Flyers" to a 77 draw, in Niagara Falls on Tuesday night. Tonight, Gen- erals face "Marlies" again, here at home. It should prove ifteresting. Oshawa will be minus two and maybe all three of the players rated as "'their first line" but the fans will get a chance to see such newcomers as George Babcock, rightwinger from Lindsay; Billy Heindl, speedy centre from Winnipeg (his daddy played against Generals in the Memor- ial Cup finals of 1942); Brian Morenz of Brampton; Peter Nevin, the 16-year-old centre from Halifax and defenceman Barry Wilkins, who was with Niagara Falls, last season. There are others too -- but let's face it, they'll not all make it, so more about them, when they do. FIRST GAME! OSHAWA'S "RETURNEES" include Bobby Orr, Nick Beverly, Jim Whittaker, Chris Roberts, Bill Little, Chris Hayes and goalies lan Young and Dunc Wilson, Wayne Cashman will be playing, if his ankle is fit. Danny O'Shea will not play tonight -- he's away at the Montreal Canadiens camp. But, this is the start, and the local fans are keen! TED O'CONNOR is the coach of Oshawa's new Junior "Bp" OHA entry. He held his first workout on Tuesday night and at least a dozen "homebrew" prospects were on hand, bidding for places on the team, Incidentally, if any truly ambitious young hockey player, here in Oshawa, didn't know about the first workout, he's welcome to telephone Ted O'Connor, concerning the next practice. The Junior "B Club's policy this season is to give every Oshawa boy a real chance to "catch on" with the team. Oshawa Junior '"B team will be in the Central Ontario group and can expect stern competition from Trenton, Peterborough, etc., but coach Ted O'Connor feels that he already has the nucleus of a strong contender. DIAMOND DUST -- Last night's Juvenile playoff game had to be cancelled, due to wet grounds, Jay Cees and Genosha Aces will now go in their third game of the finals, on Saturday night, at Alexandra Park, at 7:30 p.m. 5 TONIGHT, it's Gale's Lumber vs Bad Boys, in the second game of their 3-out-of-5 "City Championship" finals and the third game has been scheduled for Sunday afternoon, 2:30 o'clock, at Alexandra Park BROOKLIN "Concretes won the first game of the Southern Ontario finals, at home an Saturday night, nosing out Wingham 1-0.

(CP) -- "They're making la- crosse a sissy's game in On- tario," says Keith Jackson, coach of the western junior la- crosse champions. 5 "They're trying to take all! the contact out of it," Jackson said in an interview Wednesday on the return of his New West- minster Salmonbellies. They lost the best-of-seven Canadian junior final in six games to Oshawa Green Gaels. Jackson said his club had the same problem in Oshawa as Brooklin, Ont., Merchants had in their national senior final here. The senior New Westmin- ster squad won that seven-game series 4-3. "I understand Brooklin com-|% plained bitterly about the dif- ference in the interpretation of the rules here. I can under- stand the problem.

"I like the game better the way they play it today. It's Chipper got a first-hand view of football's transition from two bucks and a kick of the 1930s "We used to get $5 or $10 a game--$5 if we lost and $10 if we won. And there was all the milk you could drink at prac- tice." One thing that impresses Chipper today is the improve- ment in equipment. "I remember in the later years with the Riders, about 1949, we had a U.S. lineman named Eddie Michaels who used to play without a helmet.

A similar, situation applies to the centre position, with the loss of Ron Buchanan, a 52- | goal scorer in the 1964-65 campaign. Heindl, a Winnipeg boy, is one of two westerners in camp, and consensus is that he will help the club con- siderably. In the last exhibition game, against Niagara Falls, Bab- cock was the scoring star for Generals with three goals, while Heindl assisted on a pair. REMEMBER WHEN...
