Left-to-right Oshawa Times Photo By ERIC WESSLBY Times' Sports Editor Positive proof that Oshawa is one of the top - ranking sporting cities in Canada was offered last night. The proof was the more than 1,200 sports stars, fans and former athletes attending the Centennial Sports Celebri- ties Dinner at the Civic Audi- torium to honor Matt Leyden, who for 40 years has devoted his life to sport in Oshawa and Ontario. "After my family, junior hockey has been the most im- portant thing in my life, said Mr. Leyden. Other featured guests at the head table were Bobby Orv, former Oshawa Generals' star and an all - star defenceman with the Boston Bruins and Nancy Greene, World Cup of skiing champion for 1966-67. The dinner was sponsored by Oshawa Green Gaels' Junior Lacrosse Club, with proceeds for the development of minor lacrosse. Mr. Leyden, honored as Osh- awa entennial Sportsman, ice, Mr. Leyden was actively engaged in Oshawa hockey and lacrosse circles. He was the first manager of the Oshawa Generals' Jun- ior hockey club, accepting the post in 1936 when the club was. organized, and holding it until he became general man- ager in 1948. When the Osh- awa Arena burned in 1953 for- cing disbandment of Generals, Mr. Leyden was without a hockey club, but, in 1957, he was elected to the OHA exec- utive. "They~say that there's no- thing as dead as a past pre- sident,'"' Mr. Leyden said, "but with the help of the old club doctor, I'll continue to work for hockey and lacrosse." WIFE HELPED Mr. Leyden paid tribute to his wife during his brief speech. "I'm glad to have my wife by my side tonight,' he de- clared. "You know, if you don't have your wife's sup- port when you're hooed up in sport, you're in trouble." Mr. Leyden's executive car- has just completed a two-year eer dates back to the 1920's term as president of the On- tario Hockey Association, -af- ter serving almost 10 years on the OHA executive. Previous to his OHA serv- when he worked with Harold Luke and his Oshawa Sham- rocks junior hockey club. At that time, he looked after transportation. He became manager of the team in 1932, taking over as manager of Generals in 1936. Although hockey has been his main concern, Mr. Ley- den was quite active in lac- rosse in the late 1920's and early 1930's. He was manag- er of General Motors Senior Lacrosse Club when it won the Mann Cup in 1929, and the North American championship in 1930. "My first great moment in sport was with lacrosse in 1928," he said. "I signed a fellow named Ted, Reeve to play lacrosse in Oshawa, and got him a job. But, after two weeks, he started to work for the Toronto Telegram and I thought we had seen the last of him, but he soon phoned me and asked, "When do we start practicing?" "T figured right then that if this was the type of person in port, it was all right." BEST ONTACT Mr. Leyden claimed that the best contact he ever made 'was with a player named Billy Taylor.' "Tt ran into Billy in the Grand Restaurant here one night after we'd beaten his Toronto team,"' Mr. Leyden re- called, '"'and I asked him if he'd like to play in Oshawa next season. "'Well, Mr. Leyden,' he said, 'I've got a father, bro- ther and sister that need jobs.' "So, this was arranged, and Billy "The Kid' came to play for Oshawa and started the greatest reign junior hockey has ever known. Seven suc- cessive Canadian junior hock- "T'm glad to see so many of my former boys here," Mr. Leyden said. 'I'm proud of the boys. "A lot of people think a hockey player can't go places, but players who have been with the Generals through the years disprove this. Some are doctors, dentists and success- ful, businessmen." Mr. Leyden paid tribute to Neil Hezzelwood, who worked with him on many Oshawa clubs. "They used to call us 'the Gold Dust Twins,"' he re- counted. "IT always say, when you have a sportsman for a friend you have a good on." GREAT TRIBUTE Terence V.

Crown counsel Lloyd Gray- burn, outlining his case to the jury as the 21-year-old Ford went on trial for capital mur- der, said two fellow teen-agers helped the son dispose of the body of Minnie Ford. Ford was charged last Nov. 23 after a woman's body, en- cased in a plywood box, was found in Lake Couchiching. Mrs. Ford, 55, disappeared at about the time of the Victoria Day holiday in 1963. Mr, Grayburn said that Mrs. Ford, a well-to-do widow who had been left $100,000 by her husband the year before her disappearance, had quarrelled a number of times with her son over his use of the family Cadil- lac, chiefly because he had been involved in a number of acci- dents. The prosecutor said that on Thursday, May 16, 1963, Mrs. Ford had picked up the car after a repair job for one of these accidents and that the Crown alleges the same day or perhaps the next one the son killed her during an argument in her kitchen. Afterwards, Mr, Grayburn said, Ford picked up Ronald Walter Walli, 17, in the Cadillac and told him he had killed his mother.

The News, in another of a se- ries on China by Simon Mal- ley, UN correspondent for the French-language Jeune Afrique and other African newspapers, says the Chinese look for a United States-China conflict to result from U.S. escalation in Vietnam. Malley says he reached the conclusion as the result o{ ex- clusive interviews with Premier Chou En-lai in Peking in March. Communist China officially de- nied Tuesday that Chou had ; talked with Malley and called country into a war against his report a "fabrication."' WIDEN WIDE DISTRIBUTION Roy M. Fisher, editor of The Daily News, said it had been an- ticipated that the Peking gov- ernment might deny the Malley story when it found it was to be given wide distribution in the US. Fisher said Chinese officials received Malley as a correspon- dent of Jeune Afrique, and may not have foreseen the publication of his article beyond French- speaking Africa. Malley quotes Chou as saying he was certain that the path now being followed by the United States would lead that China. "Sooner or later, the United States will find itself in a situa- tion where the realization of its imperialist objectives will re- quire the violation of our sover- eignty and territorial integrity," Chou is quoted. Malley writes that Chinese leaders, expecting an American attack, told him it was "'no sec- ret" that China has built under- ground installations for atomic plants. The correspondent says China's principal weapon against the U.S. would be its 750,000,000 people, nearly one- fourth of the world's population. first It wave against the dormitory that sheliered the snipers' nest.
