PAGE EIGHT ad / THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ° FRIDAY, OC1UBER 18, 1946 RUGBY TWIN-BILL AT ALEX. PARK SAT. AFTERNOON 0.C.V.I. JRS. & RED RAIDERS BOTH PLAY SAT. A Rugby Doubleheader will be le ot this Saturday at Alex- andra Park, and the teams playing will be the O.C.V.I, Juniors and Peterborough C.V.I. Juniors in the opener and the Junior Red Raiders and the Hamilton Tigers in the later affair, The Collegiate game is expected to get under way round one o'clock in the afternoon and the Big Four Junior tilt will follow it. These games will be both of great interest to local grid fans and everyone should turn out for them. '|¥ The Collegiate duel is in earnest THE FLYING WING ON THE TORONTO INDIANS TEAM By PORT = , YNAPSHOTS ic With football weather, autumn breezes and rains, falling leaves, ete, all definitely in peak form, the summer is really over and rugby season is with us. Here in Oshawa, local sport fans have an attractive twin-bill to see at Alexandra Park tomorrow afternoon and one that should attract a fair-sized crowd. Opening game, at about 1.00 o'clock will bring together the Peterboro C.V.I. Students and the O.C.V.1. boys in an Interscholastic Junior fixture. O.C.V.I; lost by default to Peter- boro about three weeks ago, when the Oshawa team was a couple of hours late in arriving in the Liftlock City. Now they are playing this game tomorrow on the understanding that if Peterboro wins, the default stands, so the O.C.V.I. students can lose two decisions tomorrow in the one game. : 4 » 9 » At three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the other scheduled rugby tilt will take place, a "Little Big Four" game between the Hamilton Tigers and the Oshawa Jr. "Red Raiders." This should be a real eye-opener to local rugby fans for the Hamilton Tigers are a might sweet football machine. They have several players who right now could step into Senior grid ranks and hold their own. Despite the known and admitted ability of St. Mike's and Jr, Argos, it is generally expected that Hamilton's Jr. Tigers will cop the "Little Big Four" championship and the Dominion Junior rugby title as well, this season. This will be a great chance for Oshawa fans to see this' smart team in action, here tomorrow afternoon, and what's more, the Red Raiders have promised to give the Tigers a real battle, ERE. NE Ee TRY As we intimated yesterday, the rugby men are definitely worried about those referee.mob scenes in Hamilton and Windsor last week-end. Already suggestions and -opinions are flying and our claim that there are not enough competent referees to go around is being voiced in several circles. Ivan Miller, Hamilton sports scribe, "panned" Hamilton fans in vigorous fashion for their part in the Hamilton debacle. Up in Windsor, the affair there was viewed in a different light also. Ted Reeve, an acknowledged expert in most sport activities and especialy rugby, maintains that. the rules are so far ahead of most officials that anything is liable to happen. Tomorrow, there are some important games on tap with three or four of the country's senior grid teams facing tion as they move into battle tomorrow with a defeat meaning the end of their playoff hopes. After tomorrow, the fans will start "picking their spots" for further attractions. and for cigar wagers, +* L LJ + Toronto Leafs drew 3-3 with Detroit Red Wings, were unlucky no doubt that they didn't get a victory, for the Wings scored the i goal with only a few seconds left to play, using six forwards and no and for once thé trick worked. However, while we admire enthusiastic loyalty and appreciate his publicity trend-of-thought, we can hardly go along with Connie Smythe's statement "best team we've had in the last ten years" Like Bill Terry's famous "Is Brooklyn still in this league?"--that "best in 10 years" crack is apt to boomerang before April Fool's Day. Last night, in Montreal, the Stanley Cup Canadiens blanked N.Y. 3-0. No less than 21 N.Y. sport writers flew to Montreal to attend this game, Frank Selke must have been putting on quite an "opener."

The Red Raiders Junior club will go into action against the strong | Hamilton Tiger team this Saturday for the second time. This being the return game at home for the Raid- ers, The team are keeping up their spirited play against all comers, and with a little luck to upset all the plans of the Hamilton team, the Oshawa boys may pull out the win- ner. One feature of this battle will be the opportunity of the Oshawa fans of seeing Big Bill Gudgeon at work. He was the tall halfback for Ham- ilton who ran ninety yards for a touchdown and add to the 25-0 loss that Oshawa suffered in her first game of the season. It is hoped that Bill Dell will be feeling in top condition for this game and that he will put on another of his great passing dem- onstrations., Jim Zavitsky, the hard working quarterback for the Raid- ers, is having trouble with one of his ankles and it would be bad if this good signal caller wasn't able to take part in the brawl, So don't forget that big Rugby Double-header at Alexandra Park Saturday; it is sure to be a thriller. Elimination Faces Several Grid Squads By The Canadian Press A killing schedule which offered a gambler s chance to square things with their deadliest rivals faced George Fraser's Ottawa Rough Ri- ders today as they set out for Tor- onto and a tough pair of mid-sea- son football games, Deadlocked with Montreal Alou- ettes for second place in the Inter. provincial Rugby Football stand- ings, Fraser's iron men could tie |p, with Argos at the top of the loop by defeating the Toronto club tomorrow and then taking the Alouettes at Montreal Sunday, Argo Chance Argos can just about clinch one of the two playoff positions bywin- ning over Ottawa. If they did it would give them a six-point mar- gin over Alouettes, Though the Big Four struggles seem to highlight the East's pro- gram, a pretty situation might evolve in the Ontario Rugby Foot- ball Union, where Toronto Indians must win over the third-place Sar- nia Imperials to protect their two- point league leadership. Night Try They're going to try it at night, too, in a venturesome erperiment in Toronto Saturday sport, mainly because they figure Big Four con- tests are too hand to compete againt as fan attractions. Meanwhile, the second-place Hamilton wildcats will be gunning for the fifth-place Windsor Rock- ets. Toronto Balmy Beach, with an opportunity to make a play-off spot, meet the last-place Trogans at Ottawa in the loop's other game, The Western Canadian schedule winds up Saturday when Regina's Saskatchewan Roughriders travel east to, encounter Winnipeg's Blue Bombers. Though Roughriders, with a lone win in seven starts, are out Calgary Stam first place in the three-team group. In the other major circuit, the Intercollegiate Union, University of Western Ontario's unbeaten Mus- tangs clash at London with second- place McGill and Toronto Varsity travels to Kingston to meet the last place Queen's. Ottawa District to Have Sr. "B" Hockey Arnprior, Oct. 18--(CP)--Tenta- tive plans were laid here last night for formation of an Upper Ottawa Valley Senior B Hockey League comprising teams from Ottawa, Pembroke, Renfrew and Arnprior. The proposition, suggested by manager Jim McCaffrey of the Ot- | wi tawa club and Cecil Duncan, secre- tary of the Ottawa and District As- soclation, received support from | Bea Renfrew and Arnprior delegations, while Pembroke delegates decided to study the matter further, They will report to the president' within a few days and a further meeting will he held, probably in Ottawa next The Ottawa entry, while wearing colors of the Ottawa Senators of he Quebec Senior Hockey League, would not affect the Capital's en- wy in the QSHL.

"THE DOWNTOWNERS" Mayfair 'Lanes The Downtowners., a brand - new league this year at Mayfair Lanes after bowling the last five weeks, are grad- ually squaring away. A race for top honours for the first section has al- ready begun between the Dudes and Dubs with the Dinkles and Drips hot on thelr heels. However the Droops and Dandies who are a little slower getting into condition insist that they will have to be reckoned with very shortly. The fellows on the latter team are be- ginning to show signs of improvement and no doubt will get out of the cellar before many more weeks go by. Les Eagleson was hot last Tuesday and set a mark for the best of the boys to shoot at by rolling a great 368 for his third game and a total of 811 for the Three, A few more zames like that will take Charles Smith and his Anne Don Pitcher. Traded 7 PITCHER TRADED Allie Reynolds, 28, fast ball pitcher of the Cleveland Indians who has just been exchanged for Joe "Flash" Gordon, 31-year-old second base- man of the New York Yankees. Reynolds led the American league in strike-outs in his first year in the Majors, 1943, And is: expected to bolster the Yankee pitching staff. Gordon, hailed as one of baseball's greatest fielders, will team up with Lou Boudreau to give the Indians one of the best infield combinations. GREYHOUND TRACKS to the ton.

Maurice Richard lived up to his name of Rocket as he blasted home two tallles in the 1946-47 NHL. schedule opener. First and Third The quiet right-winger scored in the first and final periods.

Plenty of Moxie Both teams showed plenty of fight and aggressiveness as 12 penalties --six to each side--were handed out. A healthy free-for-all threatened in the closing period as Ranger' Grant Warwick grabbed centre Ken Mosdell of Montreal by the neck and dragged him to the ice--throw- ing punches at the same time. Both were penalized, Besides scoring a goal, Reardon set up Richard's second marke. . Stepping in where they left off last season, Montreal's first string of Elmer Lach, Maurice Richard and Toe Blake proved to be the punch behind Canadiens' attack. Montreal play their second game Saturday night with Boston Bruins as guests. Better Babies and Modern Feeding May Result In Jockey Shortage, Of Thus Flat Racing Might "Die" Controversy Wages As Whether "Little Men" Are Becoming Extinct --No Lack of Light- weights For Some Time, However By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Oct, 18--(CP)--It wouldn't be advisable to approach the near- est jockey and ask if his mother fed him gin to stunt his growth, A straight left to a place that would show probably would follow. You wouldn't ' expect a 17-hand colt from .a shetland mare or a breed of giants from tiny parents, would you? Don't be silly, say the experts, This is by way of introduction to a discussion, current in Britain, on the subject: "The Decline of the Lightweight Jockey," or "The Slow Death of Flat Racing." Anybody can get in on it. The whole thing was started by Mrs, Gerald Armstrong, mother of three and wife of one of the Coun- try's leading racehorse trainers. She contends lightweight jockeys are a dying race, that in two or three generations they will be extinct and, furthermore, flat racing in this country will "die" with them. Her opinion is based on the idea that pre-natal care, clinic facilities for mothers, plus modern ideas for feeding infants, make for bigger boys. Malautrition is responsible for the size of jockeys (we still quote Mrs. Armstrong) and that, as there will soon be no such beings as improperly-reared youngsters, there will be an end to the midget saddle-riders. Jockeys Do Not Agree These . statements, of course, brought indignant protests from the raiders themselves. Their re- marks, summed up, were: "Why blame our mothers? We were reared just as any other baby. Our stary- ing came later and was voluntary to meet the weights." Professional opinion was ex- pressed by doctors at the Queen Charlotte Hospital, London, the largest maternity centre in the country. They sald: "Our experience shows that pre-natal care has noth- ing to do with the weight of babies. Jockeys are often examples of ine herited dwarfism; smallness being passed on by parents." NoboAY. tues added, can breed giants from parents, 8ir Adolphe Abrahams, Medical Adyiser to British Olympic teams fand a diet expert, entered the dee bate. Nutrition does make a differ ence to size, he said, and pointed out that British boys and girls are bigger than a generation ago be- cause starvation is 4-43, No Shortage Yet The real knock-down for Mrs, Armstrong came from her husband who said he is inundated with ap- plications from small boys who want to become jockeys. "There may be a good deal of truth in what my wife says,* he commented diplomatically. = Then with lowered voice he added he can see no shortage of lightweights for some time, INTER. RED RAIDERS VISIT PETERBORO TOMORROW AFT. The Oshawa Red Raiders Inter- mediate squad are scheduled to play in Peterboro this coming Saturday, and although a few of their players are still on the injury list they feel sure they can take the Pete's. The whole Intermediate League is all tied up in a kot right now and the remaining games will settle the group winner. Cobourg and Orillia tied last Saturday and this leaves these two teams and Oshawa in a tight race for first place, Osh awa still have to play Orillia once and Cobourg twice and if the boys can win these they can cop the first place honors. The Red Raiders would like noth ing better than to gin their group as this is their first year in a league and if they can keep on playing the type of rugby that beat Trenton twice then they should be right up at the top, Brantford Roofing and Builders' Supplies McLAUGHLIN COAL & SUPPLIES, LIMITED Phone 1246 RUGBY!
