g THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, Merch 30, 1967 SPORTS BEAT | By Eric Wesslby Times Sports Editor OSHAWA MIDGETS' hopes for an Ontario championship received a rude jolt Wednes- day night at Children's Arena when they failed to take ad- vantage of home ice and dropped a 3-2 decision to St. Catharines Lions. Oshawa has proven that they can handle Lions with an all-out exhi- bition of hustle but they had too many just along for the ride Wednesday. As it was, the hard workers almost suc- ceeded in pulling this one out and had it not been for good goalkeeping by Jim Tatarnic and fine defensive work by Roger Smith and Bob Mc- Mahon, Oshawa might. well have won the game. IN THE first and third per- fods, Oshawa was all over Lions. They had them bottled up in the St. Catharines end for minutes on end but just couldn't take advantage of their chances, It was a hard bumping affair but I thought the officials called a good game, although the visitors visitors thought they took the worst of it in penalties, espe- cially in the third period, but they were all clean cut calls, ACTUALLY, IT appears Oshawa midgets outsmarted themselves in not playing at Civic Auditorium, The speedy Oshawa attackers were get- ting around the St. Catha- rines' defencemen all evening but in the smaller confines of Children's Arena, they usually were at the end of the rink. Now it's back to St. Catha- rines and Oshawa coach Jack Armstrong is confident. If they all hustle as much as John Nestic did last night, they'll be coming back here for a game next Wednesday. THERE'S NOTHING new on the Oshawa Generals' Junior Hockey Club front, except the club executive held a meeting with general manager Hap Emms and chief scout Harold Cotton of Boston Bruins Wed- nesday night. Club president Russell Humphreys said it will be two weeks to a month be- fore a successor to coach- general manager Ted O'Con- nor is named.

An- other question that no one seems to have the answer for is how are the junior clubs going to operate next season? Will Boston Bruins or Weston Adams still have a hold on the local club or will they have to relinquish their shares to local interests. This is something that probably won't be re- solved until the annual meet- ing of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association at Saska- toon in May. SOMEONE WHO is quite | active these days on behalf of the Generals is scout Gary Young, Cotton's chief assis- tant in eastern Canada. Gary has logged considerable mile- age this winter assessing players for Bruins, many of whom are potential candidates for Generals. He reports that several talented youngsters have shown an_ interest in coming here to play junior hockey and feels if he can get the players he wants, Osh- awa will be back in the hunt for the Memorial Cup next winter. AND IF you don't think he's busy, take this week for ex- ample. He's watched games in Kingston, at the Centennial Midget Tournament, at Tren- ton, Port Huron, Huron and Stratford. During the past few months. he's been right through northern Ontario and the Maritimes. Coldest rink, he says, is at New Liskard, "where I had to do a step dance and hand clap to stay warm." GARY WAS sorry to see Ted O'Connor leave the Generals, but will probably see quite a bit of him during the next few years as they compete talent for their respective clubs, Boston and Minnesota North Stars.

Lions didn't have a shot on goal until the nine-minute mark in the third as Oshawa pressed continually. Novak slammed home a backhand shot at 11.57 on a power play and Oshawa's offence stormed right back on the next face-off, only to have Prentice miss the open net. St. Catharines' defenceman Bob McMahon took a shot by Nestic out of the crease with Tatarnic out of position, and later, Prentice and Jim Nesbitt both steered shots just past open corners. Tatarnic preserved victory in the last minute when, with Jay out for a sixth Oshawa attack- er, he made a great save on a booming shot from Pete Mc- Namee. |skip, 10; OSHAWA: Orval McCaughey,|Neil Studley scored for Credit |Art Barrett, Fred Ashworth and Les Har-| Union » skip, 3. | 2 ee In midget round robin, Letter ORHAN AL.
