Brown- lee's Rink -- Yester- day's Games Produced Several Big Upsets and Also Best Games of Preliminary Rounds -- Percy Skitch Qusts Parkhiil's Rink in Ex- tra. End -- Two Local Rinks in Primary and One in Consolation . With three extra-end games to settle elimination and some of the keeriest competition witnessed in the tournament's preliminaries, Thursday's play in the Oshawa Curling Club's annual 5-Day Bon- spiel proved easily the most out- standing of the week and set the stage for a colorful and promising | off session for the silverware, 3 y. , Only Two Oshawa Rinks In ' Only two Oshawa rinks survived the preliminary rounds. On Tues- day, Dr. "Andy" Harding's men won their three games to win a berth ih today's quarter-finals for the R. 8. McLaughlin Trophy and Don. Hol~ den's rink emerged as a bracket winner yesterday, after a great day's curling. Holden and his men put out R. B. Ness of Kingston in the first game and in the after- fioon tilt, were the winners in the closest game of the 'spiel, to-date. Bill Brownlee's rink scored three on the 12th end to tie the score and on the extra end to settle the win- ner. Brownlee was "lying two" when Holden with his last rock of the e, drew to the blue inner rink lor "shot", with only a margin of a to spare. It was a superb shot and a fitting climax to one of the keenest games *in the 'spiel. His sweepers almost left it too long to "go to the broom" but managed to smooth the path to the ring just in time. In his 3rd game, last night, al. den defeated W. A. Wilson Brampton. In their second i the Brampton men eliminated A. C. Hoffman's highly-favored Kitch- entries from Toronto Granites, two from Royal Canadian .and single rinks from Peterboro and Agin- court. In the.consolation event, for the Sykes orial Cup, only one Oshawa rik enters the race, with two Lindsay rinks, two from High Park and other "loners" from To- ronto Granites, Beaverton and To- ronto Victorias. , Following are the quarter-final draws:- §.

One Oshawa Rink In "Sykes" Only Ben Ward's Oshawa rink survived the eliminations in the ped their two games in the Sykes' play. * Yesterday, D. B. Carlyle, a former Oshawa resident, skipped his To- ronto Victoria rink to a 12-10 vic- 'tory over A. C. Halwig's Kitchener eatry, in the second game of the Sykes Trophy event and in the other bracket, Al, Parkhill's Oshawa rink was nosed out on an extra end by Percy Skitch's Lindsay four- some. » Parkhill reached the second roid on a sensational shot that conclud- od the 12th end.

Fan who figures complacently that the odds are all in favor of his home-town Na- tional Hockey League club win- ning on home ice might just as , | well get that idea out of his head in a hurry. It's just about a 50- 50 proposition, brother. Let's examine the record. Toss- ing aside the eight tle games in 47 played so far, the visiting team has romped off with 17 and the home team with only 22. That's an average of .436 for the visi- tors, If you count th ties as dis- tasteful as losses for the home boys, the visiting teams come out on top with a .532 average. What does it all add up to? Here's what president Clarence Campbell of the N.H.L. has to say: "It only goes to prove that th teams are so closely balanced '| ngiclub can count on victory at home or away." . At, the same time, Mr. Camp- "| bell, 'who has just completed a 14. swing around the circuit, freely admits that the situation is "something pretty -hard for the % | hometown fans to absorb." The best average for foreign- + | iee -victories so far has been set by Toronto Maple Leafs with ,444 four 'wins in nijie games, Right behind Leafs come the co-holders of the league leader- with three wins in seven away-from: home games, an average of .429, New York's unpredictable Ran- 10. | gers, with the heaviest road sche- dule, have won four of 11 for a .364 average. ° Chicago Black "| Hawks have won two of six for- 7.| eign games for a ,333 average; and Boston Bruins and Detroit Red Wings are tled with ,286, two wins in seven games. The record also shows the plight of the home clubs is fast "| becoming worse, In the last eight carises 28, games the home-town boys have taken it on the chin six timés, What's more the tie-game splurge has suddenly ended. The last deadlock was on Nov. 13, a 4-4 a"gument between Canadiens and Rangers of New York. HOCKEY RESULTS QUEBEC SENIOR Suobeo 6, Valleyfleld 6 (tle), treal 8, Shadi in 1. THUNDER BAY JUNIO Fort W.

Johnny Longden's Jockey Career Is Tops In Turfdom By ALAN RANDAL Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Nov. 20--(CP)--If you'd seen him 18 years ago it would have been in Calgary and he'd've been the same slender, long-legged lightweight of today but with this difference--then Johnny Longden was close to broke. He maybe didn't have quite so much iron in his hands in those days, nor so much track sense. Still young Johnny, at 18, knew he could ride and knew he wanted to ride, As it turns out that was about all he needed; along with a break or two, and now you find Longden still booting them home today but thinking of retirement soon, his mounts having won something like $5,000,000 That's a long haul from the Cal- gary Day when "Galloping Johnny" counted his silver in one hand, fin- ally made up his mind he'd stay in the jockey business and then struck out from Calgary in a box car for the little racetracks of the Utah outlands, Late Georgie Woolf His Pal And it's a still longer haul from the coal-mucking fields of Wake- field, Eng. whence came Johnny's people when he was a boy to settle near Taber, Alta. Lucky for Johnny did, because there was another kid thereabouts whose dad had a farm and some horses. These kids learned to ride together -- deep in the saddle like the cowboys, hunch- ed up over the mane like the jocks and even standing with a leg on each horse like the old Romans. They became jocks together, were close friends until early this year when the other kid--George (The Iceman) Woolf and one of the greatest of all jockeys -- died from a racetrack spill. At 109 pounds, Longden has no peer, the only jockey in United TONIGHT CROKINOLE : "- PARTY .and Sound Motion Pic- tures .in Color. Whitby Baptist Sunday School Hall. Proceeds for Pro- jects Fund.

Men _Is Next Step Boston, Nov. 20--(OP)--The ini- | tial move to"unionize professional hockey players is underway. First on 'the list of six National || Hockey , League clubs to be ap- proached were the New York Ran- ton Globe said yester- Murphy, head of the an Baseball Guild who un- successfully attempted to make un- ion members of the major league ball 'players last summer, met with several of the Rangers in Boston Wednesday night when the New Yorkers were in town to play the Bruins, Murphy is said to have outlined his 'union program to the Rangers and asked them to draw up their demands. These they are to give him when Via they travel to Bos- ton--Dec. 7 The Globe quoted an unidentified player as saying "we've played for little or nothing considering the rinks' profits all these years with the result that we've got nothing when we're through." The newspaper added: "Some of the reforms which the hockey players seek are higher sal- aries, a pension plan along the lines of that which Marty Marion of the Cardinals instituted for baseball players, an allowance of $300 or $400 to a player when traded to cover the costs of moving his family and fur- nishings, and a. change in contracts which carry a minor-league clause calling for a substantial decrease in pay when the player is sent to the lower . classification. "This is not the first rumbling of pro hockey ranks over salaries Sev- eral Detroit players were outspoken in 'their criticism of their season's remuneration a year ago and claim- ed they were in favor of a union. The Detroit management 'cleaned house' of as many of them as it could spare this season. "Oh the Rangers' first visit Oct. 26, one of the Rangers' veterans squaked about the small contracts on the New York club and remark- ed: 'Wish that Murphy guy would come around to organize the hoc- key players.'
