TRPTE. to A JETTA awE vee EE BT I N--p------ PAGE EIGHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1930 OSHAWA JRS. OPEN SEASON WITH GAME IN BELLEVILLE FRI. NIGHT Oshawa's Juniors Have Been Drilling Hard and are Ready To Start their 1930-31 Season Many Boys Try .Out With . Oshawa Juniors and Coach Ken Randell Is a Busy Man, Trying to Pick Out the Best -- Local "Kids" Play Exhibition Game in Belleville To- morrow Night -- Expect to Have Strong Team Here This Year 'No rest for Junior hockey players" scems to be Coach Ken. Randall's motto these days. Three and four nights a week, he has the boys out on the ice at the Arena aud for one solid hour, they are drilled, speeded, pep- ped and coached in the finer points of the game which they are out to play. The interest of Oshawa hockey fans is tonight centred on the Arena and the doubleheader of Sher- iff Paxton Trophy games. Bowman- ville meets Whitby in the first game at. 7.30 p.m. sharp and immediately iter, Port Perry and Orme Gamsby's 'Oronites" clash in the second tilt. Just because the Oshawa Juniors io. not happen to be participating in the activities tonight is no reason for anyone to get the idea that the Osh- awa juniors are not active. On the congary, they are very much "up and going" and tomorrow, night they will commence their 1930-31 season in earnest Evhibition Game in Belleville So far the hockey activities of all those trying out with the local Junior squad have been confined to practic- es and in order to have at least one game under their belts before they tackle anybody in the Sheriff Paxton Series, they are going to play an ex- hibition game with the Belleville Jun- iors, tomorrow (Friday) night, in Belleville's new Arena, built last year, Stan. Burgoyne, well known and cap- able hockey coach, is in charge of Belleville"s O.H.A. teams this year and it is no secret that Belleville has two smart teams, one of them, the Juniors. Belleville Juniors have al- ready had one or two games this season and in this respect have an ad- vantage over the local boys. They play snappy hockey down there and the local lads are expecting real tough opposition, Fast Rounding Into Shape Coach Randall has only been out with the boys about two weeks but already a big improvement can be noticed, On Monday night the squad was cut down considerably and as time goes on, the "weeding out" pro- cess will be extended." As the per- sonnel of the team has not yet been decided, it is practically impossible to start any systematic style of playing but every night Coach Randall is out on the ice with the boys and as two teams play each other, he referees and at the same time, points out faults and suggests improvements. There is plenty of material on hand, now. When the practices first start- ed there were about thirty players trying out and now there are about twenty lett, fighting for the positions. Every night the boys have their workouts and are watched by a hun- dred or more interested fans, At the present time it looks as if the Oshawa Juniors are going to be Just as strong as last season, des- pite the loss of several stars, through the age-limit. . There are two positions which have suffered seriously by the graduation of players, namely "goaltender" and "right wing". These two positions are obviously the weak points but Mew Martin THUR. -- FRL THE CUCKOOS Musical Comedy with WHEELER and WOOLSEY Comedy SPORT A LA CARTE : Free atte An 'will con * vince you. W. C.

Coach Randall has the material on hand and in a couple of weeks' time Oshawa will have a junior team of which she can be proud. Among those Players trying out for the position of goaltender, "Peg" Hurst and "Tiny" Peterson are at- tracting favorable cc t. Both Murray Snyder Comes Out of Retirement--Will Play Goal for Kitchener Kitchener, Dec, 11. -- Murray Snyder, of Kitchener, who starred in the nets for Varsity O.H.A. sen- fors for several years, will guara the twine against his old team- mates when they meet the Twin City Green Shirts here a week from Friday night in the opening game of the O.H.A. senior sched- ule. Coaxed out of retirement, Snyder boys are built on the Napoleon plan, as far as stature is concerned but they both know what it's' all about and they are in there trying with all they've got. It"s just a toss-up which player will grab off the berth but with a little more experience, either boy will be able to give a creditable performance between the posts, Right wing is another position which is seriously hit by players mov- ing up, "Jerry" Bradd will be hard to beat out but just who will get the other position, of patrolling the right boards is a matter for conjecture. It begins to look as if Coach Randall may be using a left handed winger, with a good back hand shot, on right wing. Eddy Drinkle, centre player last year, is right handed and he can Eddy. is a heady player and could make good at almost any position on the for- ward line. Strong Defence Likely The strong point of the team this season is the defence. "Rainy" Lor- tie is back, going better than ever and th® season it looks very much as if he will be paired with Doug. Maund- rell, formerly of Whitby, Maund- rell played with Whitby Juniors last year. He has real ability 'and it is being brought out under the good coaching he is receiving. He skates attackers into the corner with case, checks "heavy and rushes well. He should prove a valuable addition to the team and a great team mate for "Rainy". This pair will make a col- ourful and clever derence. "How" Peterson, the Harmony Flash, is back on left wing and looks to be in for a big season, He is going great guns and as soon as Coach Randall has picked his part- ners on the forward line, he will lik- ely do even better, as teamplay will then be much easier, "Jeff" Authors is back and judging from the form flashed in the earlier workouts, he is going to make it very interesting for opposing defencemen, "Jeff" received a nasty cut over the eye last week but he will be back in action in a few days time, Among those newcomers who are making a very favorable impression with the fans at any rate, are "Joe" Graboski, last year with Timmins, George Jackson, "Shora" Shellenkoff, and "Mul" Rowden. These boys are showing real ability and they will be hard to keep off the roster. However, they can not offord to let up for one minute as they are being closely pressed by other aspirants such as: Law, Toppings, Guiltinan, Wilson, Smith, and all the others. The competition is keen and this is the best possible for the success of the team as no player can keep his position without "producing the gapds, Coach Ken. Randall and, his popu- lar assistant, George Munroe, are certainly getting results and there is no doubt that afteg the game in Belleville tomorrow night, the pro- gress will be even more marked.

Strategical use of these three will give a sound base for point scoring. The first and most gener- ally useful is served VERY HIGH to the middle of the back line. Place the service straight down the center line. This will give your opponent less opening for quick placement or forcing shot. The second type of service is hit as LOW as possible to the near corner of opponent's court. Keep the bird down the center line as with VERY HIGH serve for pre- cisely the same reason, The third type is driven to your adversary's ex- treme backhand corner. Use this only as a surprise. Avoid serving too close to center line as it may Xvi. cause many faults, 'Also do not angle. from this court unless to keep op- ponent from standing «too far to- wards the middle of the court. Left court service is best played (1) VERY HIGH to extreme back- hand 'corner; FE 'LOW to near fore- hand corner; (3) LOW to near back- hand corner.

Exhibition Game Woodstock ..3 Stratford ..... Ball Players Change Clubs 2 0 New York, Dec. 11---Activity among players reached a mew high yesterday in the major league meer- ings. A promise of peace appeared in the complicated draft controversy with the minors, and the era of prosperity, brought in by the lively ball and short fences, was guaran- teed a future as rosy as its past, For hours and hours, the mag- nates of the National and American Leagues sat in conclave, first jn a committee meeting, with nine rep- resentatives of the Internationa) and Pacific Coast Leagues, and the American Association to discuss the draft, then in regular business ses- sions of the leagues. Down in the lobby of the hotel, fading stars and old-time heroes talked with man- agers here and managers there in an hour than the magnates did all day. "Wally' Schang and Cy Perkins, veteran catchers added to the unem- ployment situation by Connie Mack of the Athletics, talked themselves into jobs. "Wally" with the Detroit Tigers and Perkins with the New York Rangers, Joe Duggan, once the third-base ace of baseball for the Yankees, came to a tentative agreement with the Tigers as a util- ity man, McGraw Engages Bender John McGraw of the New York Giants, reached back into the past and found old "Chief" Bender, once a pitching star on Connie Mack's great team of another era, and dick- ered with the Indian, offering him a job as a scout. At the same time McGraw reached an agreement with George Burns, once a Glant out- fielder, to replace 'Irish' Meusel as a coach here, Jack Quinn, one of the last of the splitballers, was around seeking pitching work with the Brooklyn Robins but accompish- ed little. Two first basemen, George Sisler of the pston Braves, and Lou Blue of the Browns, seem to have been given opportunities by their man- agement to better themselves, If possible, Sisler discussed a coach- ing job with the Tigers, but Blue wound up the day talking salary differences with his own club. PRINCE OF WALES WINS London, Dec, 11.--The Prince of Wales won the final of the squash racquets handicap tournament at the well-known Bath Club tonight, beating BE. A. Bennett, 9-5, 9-6, 10-9, The Prince has contested in three previous finals, but never before won the event. KANSAS CITY CUE EXPERT LOSES TO RALPH GREENLOAF New York, Dec, 11.--Forced to call upon all of his old-time skill, Nain Greenleaf, the 'bay won- der" of a decade ago, successfully hurdled another barrier last night in quest of his tenth world's pocket billiard championship in eleven years. Meeting Bennie Allen of Kansas City, who was winning national titles when Greenleaf was first on Dec. 29, for Europe and a 28 year-old champion played brilliant billiards to win 125 to 24 in 16 innings. EDDIE SHEA SCORES VICTORY OVER LABARBA Cleveland, O,, Dec. 11.--Eddie Shea, rough-and-ready Italian youngster from Chicago, bounded into the front ranks of feather- weight challengers last night when he was awarded a 10-round deci- sion over Fidel LaBarba of Los Angeles, . Patsy Haley of New York, the referee, unhesitatingly raised Shea's right hand in victory after the 10 rounds of boxing, The deci- sion seemed to surprise the 12,000 spectators, who first greeted it with boos and then broke into cheering. serve diagonally rather than straight as the opponent's backhand is toward the side instead of toward the center.

Team Makes an Impressive Showing in Exhibition Game Stratford, Dec, 11, -- In their first game of the season Stratford Indians dropped the verdict to the classy Woodstock Red and Whites by the shut-out route, the finaly tally reading 3 to 0. The visitors were well worth their win and flashed a crew that appears good enough for senior company, and they promise to be in the thick of the battle when the intermediate O.H.A, finals are in session. Bell, Lamport and Ewens scored the Woodstock goals, The Stratford team turned in a good game but lacked team work and resorted too much to long shots, which were easy picking for Lynch in the Woodstock net, Of course the rearguard for the vist. tors, composed of Lamport, Walk- em and Scott, proved a stone wall and when the locals did attempt to break through they were general- ly thwarted, "Newsy" Lalonde Is Through, Says Ottawa Paper Ottawa, Dec, 11, -- The Ottawa | Journal today gays it has learned | from a reliable source close to the cenrte of hockey control here that | "Newsy" Lalonde 18 no longer coach | of the Ottawa team of the Nation- | al Hockey League, and will not in future actively participate in the | direction of the Senators. | William Foran, the Senator Club | President, announced last Monday | that Lalonde had been granted | leave of absence for an indefinite period owing to ill health.
