10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thuredey, Apel 21, 1966 Mi SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR OSHAWA GENERALS advanced to the Eastern Canada Junior Hockey Championship finals last night, when they defeated North Bay Trappers 10-0, right in North Bay, for their four-straight prin of the annual NOHA-OHA farce. This series, like many in past years between the NOHA and the OHA winners, had to be a joke. But don't blame anybody else except the NOHA. Their winters last longer and so they want their own schedules to last longer. It's a vicious circle of needing gate receipts to offset expenses. It would have been much better if North Bay had played Cornwall in the playoffs, then the winner could have played the win- ner of the Shawinigan Falls - North Bay series. But the clubs need the money and the bitter truth is that the CAHA helps the clubs to "bleed" the fans -- because the CAHA gets a 25 per cent cut. OSHAWA GENERALS now meet Shawinigan Falls for the Eastern Canada championship and there are only two things wrong with the set-up. The real '"'money-makers", the OHA champions, namely this year, Oshawa Generals, get only the first two of three games, Since the last series was a scheduled seven-game affair, we think the cioser to the finals, the more reason for a series just as long -- in fair- ness to both teams. We think the Generals will survive the series with Shawinigan Falls, but the hazard is there and we think the CAHA has "boobed it', Generals will take Shawinigan Falls, make no mistake about that -- but it will be a tougher and a closer series than the one with North Bay. Last night, Oshawa. Generals blanked the Trappers 10-0 right in North Bay and if you can credit the reports, Trappers played better in this game than in any of the previous three, That's the way the ball bounces, THE RECORDS must. be kept straight, so we'd just 'Bruins Will NORTH BAY -- The sta- tistics don't show it, but Osh- awa Generals may have lost a little of their sharpness follow- ing their sweep Wednesday night of a series against North Bay Trappers in the Memorial Cup eastern-Canada_ best - of- seven quarter-final. The Generals swamped the Trappers 10-0 in the fourth game, opening up with three goals in the first period, slam- ming in five more in the second and two in the third. Billy White scored three of the goals, Defenceman Bobby Orr added two and others went to Bob Dickson, Roger Knowles, Bob Black, Ron Dussiaume and Bill Heindl.

"We haven't got a ghost of a chance against those teams, It's useless playing them. The only way we can compete against those teams is to draw at least 2,000 fans a game so that good junior players can be brought here to play." About 1,823 fans sat through Wednesday night's game.

Lougheed recalled that Inns- bruck in Austria was a con- tender for the 1960 Winter Games but lost to a strong bid by Squaw Valley in the U.S. Sentiment swung to Innsbruck in balloting for the 1964 Winter Games, said Lougheed. Banff's bid for the 1968 Games went down by only a few votes. This year the Canadians feel Japan is the nation to beat out for the Winter Games but Lougheed points out that Japan was the scene of the 1964 Sum- mer Games. eeromee | Dimo A Scratch Of A Pen had occurred when Randy Prior| raced in alone in the third pe-| riod, 4 | White was given credit for his} third goal on a North Bay mis-| cue late in the third period. | Andre Lalande, the Trappers'| goalie, decided to clear the puck| out of his own zone.

The fact that North Bay didn't even score once, in their final fourth game, on their home ice, has to be significant. This series can not help thé Junior hockey image and it can only hurt the OHA champions. They didn't have to be "up" for this series, they barely needed to be on hand. The North Bay fans were humiliated -- they were faced with truth -- their own champions are really only ordinary, in top Junior 'A' com- petition. GENERALS now move into the Eastern Canada finals, against Shawinigan Falls. Estevan Bruins, on their home ice, knocked off Edmonton Oil Kings 5-3, in the opening game of the Western Canada Finals, last night. Second game of their series is also in Estevan but the next three games are in Edmonton, so the Oil Kings can by no means be counted as out of the running. As a matter of fact, they are picked to win the Western Canada title + THE SERIES with Shawinigan Falls is a 3-out-of-5 affair, with the first two games here in Oshawa, this Saturday night and again on Monday. The next and final three games (if necessary) will be played in Shawinigan Falls so it is im- mediately very obvious, Oshawa Generals had better win both of their two home games, here on Saturday night and Monday.

"If that garbage is true, I've got a reason for knowing why some of them played so badly in spots," he said, To drive the point home, Im- lach took off on a scouting trip to see what replacements might be available in the Leaf farm system. The closest thing to a com- ment on the rumors of player disenchantment came from Ed- die Shaek, the rough-hewn ref- ugee from Imlach's doghouse whose 26 goals were one of the pleasanter surprises of the club's 1965-6 campaign.
