PAGE SIX \ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1928 0.C.1. BASKETEERS BEATS N. TORONTO 24-18---PORT COLBORNE WINS TITLE Putting Brilliant Brand of Basketball O.C.I. 1eam Humble N, 1oronto Five | soo GRE AND TO LOCK HORNS TONIGHT Toronto, Mar. 9. -- The annual invasion of the Northern junior champi in search of the Mem- Secure Six Point Lead in the First of Home and Home Series in Second Round of the Ontario High School Championships 'Oshawa Collegiate, by taking an early lead of 21 points against North Toronto's 10 in the first half and thereafter playing bas- ketball as they never have before, finally emerged victorlous by a 24 to 18 count in the first of home and home game series in the sec- ond round of the Ontario High School Basketball championship play downs. The game was wit- nessed by over three hundred peo- ple, on the local Collegiate gywmn- sium, the largest to turn out for a basketball game since it was in- troduced at the Collegiate three years ago. North Toronto lived up to ex- pectations Ly bringing down a smart, aggressive and ever danger- ous team which had not until yes- terday tasted the dregs of defeat, although they were up against the strongest teams in Toronto in their league. Oshawa also entered the game without up until then hav- ing met with a defeat and by their win are now enabled to continue their untarnished string of vie- tories. With both teams realizing and respecting the strength of the oth- er, it became apparent from the first that it would be a battle royal of wits and brawn which would be anybody's game up to the very last, And, so when the score began to roll up for Oshawa in thelr eyclone attack of the first half, things were indeed looking rosy for them by the time the period closed. Brilliant passing mingled with splendid team play whieh forced North Toronto to the de- fensive practically throughout, was responsible for mounting their score, while North Toronto with dogged persistence had to be con- tent with Jong shots which, how- ever, netted them all but two of their ten points, and the remain- ing two incidentally being from foul shots, Oshawa also was far from being lax in her foul shoot- ing in this first half. Gummow, Young and Hubbell all found the net with consistence and scored 5 points between them in this man- ner. The second half in some respects was altogether different from the first. North Toronto, not to be ont- done by the good showing of the Oshawa boys in the first half, gave all they had in a desperate attempt to gain an even footing in the score and with exceptionally good substitutes to fall back upon ear- ried a continuous warfare into the Oshawa territory and hurled a terrific barrage on the Oshawa basket which despite the worthy efforts of the locals resulted In the North Toronto score slowly but surely overhauling 0.C.I.'s count. But even North Toronto's best was insufficient to regain for them the margin hung up by Oshawa in the first twenty minutes and.in addition to this even though Young and Baird were automatically taken out of the game for four personal fouls, in the dying min- utes of the game they could mot cut down on the six point margin which was hanging over them. North Toronto, as mentioned above, was always dangerous and their activities of the last period well brought out this fact. Their four man defensive game and tricky attack was the first of its kind yet seen by the Oghawa team and to do jusice to North Toronto they knew their style of basket- ball just as well as did the Osh- awa boys who showed a mastery in the five man defensive style of game. Whether playing four man of five man defence, however, both teeams showed a decided defensive strength which made every point which was chalked up one which had to be hard earned. Very sel- dom was an open shot taken from close in under the basket, but whenever such was the case, the shot usually counted. The faster and more exciting the game, the more personal fouls, and although none of them were flag- rant, there was certainly an ab- undance meted out tn hoth teams, 13 going against Oshawa and 14 against North Toronto, these rve- sulting in 6 points for Oshawa and 8 for North Toronto. In field shooting, Young, Gummow and Hubbell on the 0.C.I, forward line had a decided edge over all and well deserved the credit, their work as a matter of fact, standing out in all departments of the game, Sharpe, Armstrong, Britnell, Rog- ers and Whitehead almost evenly divided. North Toronto's points be- tween them and were all about equally as good at their respective positions, Although points count on the round and the local hoys have a rather plump looking six point margin to work on, they are hv no means underestimating the abil- ity of the North Toronto team and are looking forward io one of the sweetest games in their eventful lives when they journey to North Toronto Collegiate next Monday afiernnop to play the return game and receive their baptism of fire on a strange, and according to re- ports smaller floor. Prospects of winning the round, however. are at present indeed bright and {f such 'is the case, the locals will then meet University of Toronto Schools in the third round and ine ldentlv for the Toronto and Dis- Yo' championship. The teams were: Oshawa Collegiate--Right for- ward, Young (6); left forward, Gummow (11); center, Hubbell (7); right guard, Barnum; left guard. Baird; subs, Kohen, Croth- crs, Davidson and Smith.

Twice in the regulation hour they were down to the Montreal Maroons hy one goal, but tied it up on each occa- sion. Then in the overtime they went down again and couldn't come back, losing a heart-break- ing verdict 3-2. Hooley Smith's snap-shot from the blue line, which sailed be- tween Holmes' legs, broke up the party. Seventy-five per cent of the action was crowded into a hectic third period. The Maroons gvere leading 1-0 afer the second, but Cooper converted Sheppard's pass seven minutes after the final chapter got going. Then, ten mintes later, the visitors took the van whey Phillips scored with Stewart again assisting. But Coop= er had another ace left in his deck and he played it at once. On sheet read 2-2 in four seconds. The overtime was tame until Hooley broke away for his decid- ing contribution. GIANT OIL MERGER MAY BE EFFECTED New York, March 8.--A new gi- ant, with assets approximating $500,000,000 soon may appear in the oil industry. The financial dis- trict today mentioned two of the in this country -- Sinelair Consoli- dated Oil Corporation Marland Oil Company as possible | units of the new combination. Two subsidiaries of Consolidated Oil Corporation, the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Company and the Sinclair Pipe Line Company, both half owned by the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, probably would take the name of the Marland Company. Traders on the New York Stock Exchange, hearing this talk, and noting the California curtailment plan as well as the recent Govern- ment ruling extending drilling per- mits for two years and the firm- ing of gasoline prices, twirled the oil shares. Securities of the Sin- clair Corporation were among the chief beneficiaries in this scramble for oil shares, the coms mon rising 2 1-8 points, and the preferred a fraction of that amount. Talk of a merger between Sin- clair and Marland followed re- ports that bankers of the latter company recently went over the books of the former corporation. Further credence was lent to the combination rumors by the fact that the companies scarcely com- te with each other in their pres- ent operations. ASK BRAZIL AND SPAIN TO REMAIN Geneva, March 8.--Carrying out the procedure arranged at Paris when the Tangier convention was signed, the League of Nations Council today unanimously invited Spain and Brazil to reconsider their decision to withdraw from the League. Spain's return is regarded as as- sured, but the action of Brazil is problematical, although the other Latin American countries are ready to support Brazil's immediate elec- tion to the Council as an induce- ment.

The Oshawa quint to reach the play offs, won their way to the top in a hard group struggle, and deicated Runnymede for the Toronto and District championship, They carry a six point lead to Toronto on Monday, where they will again take on North Toronto, champions of the Toronto High School League. Hubbell and Gummow were out- standing for the locals last evening, and gathered a total of 18 points between them. North Toronto are considered strong, and ii the O.C.I senior five take a fall out of them, they will be very much in the con- tention for Ontario honors. The winners of this series play off with U.T.S. who won the prep. school title, and drew a bye for this round. the winners of the playdown will meet Shelburne or Belleville to go into the Ontario championship finais..

Lewis, president of the United | Mine Workers of America today | emphatically reiterated his charge that the present distressing situa- tion is chiefly due to a conspiracy among the railroads to depress min- crs' wages. The miners' executive head paint- ed a stirring word picture of the suffering among the women and children, declaring that their "wails and lamentations" seem to have no cifect on the leaders who direct the policy of the railroads. Mr. Lewis charges that the Pitts- burgh Coal Company was the first to repudiate the Jacksonville wage agreement of 1923, other companies following its lead. Lewis declared that W. G. Ward- en, chairman of the Board of the Pittsburgh Coal Company, had told him in 1925 that he wanted to make a good record in his position and the best way to do it would be to get a wage reduction which action, Lewis added, meant "to extort from the wages of miners additional prof- its for the Pittsburgh Coal Comp- any.

It was a wonderful game of hockey, strict- ly in keeping with championship play in that it _ was fast, clean, thrilling and the result was in doubt to the final gong. Though the Panthers falled to make hockey history by annexing two titles the Ports made it by winning the first title for the Lakeside town. The Ports had the narrowest squeak possible and had it not been for the magnificent goal-tending of "Dinty'" Moore they would still be waiting on the championship doorstep. The cool netminder was easily the hero of the game and when his mates were hard- pressed, broken. and disorganized, Moore stood behind them like a stone wall, He was wonderful and he was lucky, for the Pan- thers completely outplayed the new champions in the last two periods of the game but they got but one goal to show for it, It Rained iubber The homesters in that time threw four and five men upon the attack, bottled the Ports up time and time .aagin, rained shots at Moore, laid a score of passes in the very goal mouth, any one of which, had they been taken, would have been goals, but only one eluded the vigilance of the f # moving goalie. d was a team in himself, but cven he would not have saved the Ports but for one or thé most re. markable things ever seen in a championship...
