Coach Normie Himes is bringing his strongest lineup here tonight for this important game but Coach Chuck Conacher is also making every effort to cop this verdict also and with a few changes in his lineup and some stern advice in the workouts this week, the Gens should be coming up with their best effort in the last 10 days. This is the last home game before Christmas, with Oshawa going to Stratford this Wednesday and up to Galt on Saturday next. St, Kitts are here on the 28th. > * oo * Oshawa Legionnaires won a 7-4 victory up in St. Catharines last night but according to all reports, it was quite some shucks of a game.

COUGH DROPS By The Canadian Press Oshawa fans have the junior hockey tid-bit of the week-end as the Generals entertain Galt Red Wings in a Saturday night tussle. It's their first clash of the season and gives the homesters a chance to tie the high-flying Wings for second place, Galt has dropped only two games as against four for the. Generals, but the Oshawans boast a win over the leading St. Michael's Majors-- a feat their rivals have failed to ac- complish in two tries. In Toronto the Majors face the improved 8t. Catharines Falcons while Young Rangers meet Marl- boros in the other half of the twin bill. The fourth-place , Stratford Kroehlers tackle the winless Spit- fires in Windsor in the remaining encounter. Rationed to a goal a period by the scrappy Owen Sound Mohawks, Hamilton Tigers matched the visit- ors with a shutout performance by Art , his fourth of the season, to run their winning streak to 11 straight games and move six: full games ahead of their nearest O.H.A. Senior "A" opposition. The Georgian Bay sextet looked like wnyising but the last placers they are in their determined at- tacks on Child's citadel, but the Tiger veteran turned back their best passing. attacks while his team- mates were content to let the Mo- hawks carry the play. The first Tiger goal was a heart- GALT'S VISIT TO OSHAWA BEST GAME BOOKED FOR TONIGHT breaker for Keith Woodall in the Mohawk nets. An Owen Sound player batted the puck into the cage and Johnny Conick, last Tiger to touch the rubber, gained credit for his 11th goal of the season. Ab Conick made it 2-0 at the 13- minute mark of the second frame and Swat Mason finished off a pass- ing play early in the final period for the third counter. Stratford Indians pulled a mild upset when they edged Hamilton Pats 4-3 In overtime to climb out of a tie for cellar occupancy into fourth place. Bryan Robinson broke up the encounter by batting home a rebound after five minutes of extra play. The Pats looked to be home free after two periods of play with a 3-1 lead on two goals by Barlow and one by O'Hearn. Bill Walsh and Fred Long took care of that in the third period before Robinson fin- ished things off in overtime. Wally Zuke was the other Stratford scorer.

Doug Furey of Oshawa suffered a seven-stitch facial cut, when he got in the way of a pass from Reid, midway in the second period. He was rushed to City Hospital after losing much blood.

Penalties--Goodchild, Here's New One To Entice Fans By JACK MITCHELL Canadian Press Staff Writer To top off the usual confusion attendant on 10 stalwarts chasing a small slice of rubber, there was a little extra in the way of "black magic" awaiting Toronto customers tonight when their Maple Leafs clash with New York Rangers in the only National Hockey League contest. The Rangers, of course, have their "secret scoring weapon" that their Rover boys line left up some- body's sleeve against Detroit Red Wings Wednesday night after pro- ducing with such success against Boston Bruins the previous Sunday. To match this, the Maple Leafs have their sweaters with the '"van- ishing numbers." The numbers, on the sweater fronts, don't really van- ish, as any good magician will tell you. They never were there. And, as a Toronto fan (egad) asked yes- terday, "doesn't this violate rule 13 that says all sweaters must carry numbers at least 10 inche in size on front and back?" "Therein." you can just hear De- troit's Jack Adams saying when he hears of it, "lies the secret of the Leafs 'success. Even with a program we can't tell them apart when they're coming, only when they're going." It may be that the riddle of the Leafs' rise from a fifth-place club last year to top rating this season lies in their ability to confuse. The number of mew faces they intro- duced this year alone could do it. But it's more likely the confusion lies in the way they fly after the puck without regard to (opponent's) life or limb. It's a safe bet the Leafs will be doing all out tonight for, with two week-end games, they could regain first place no matter what Montreal Canadiens accomplish in their |G single match. One point behind the the last-place Chicago Black Hawks Sunday night. " The Canadiens meanwhile play their lone-week-end match as part of a three-contest Sunday night card. The Rangers, currently tied Toronto hurriedly 'to play host to Montreal in New York Sunday night. In the third match, Detroit is at home to Boston, five points behind Toronto in third position, STRATFORD BEATS HAMILTON Stratford, Ont, Dec. 14--(CP)-- The Stratford Indians with two third period goals and the only goal in overtime last night defeated Hamilton Patricias 4-3 in an O.H.A.

But there's an official list today of 44 horses eligible for the King's Plate next May. And the list is enough to cause days of hot-stove debate over the merits of last year's Canadian-bred juveniles, the two-year-old racers who step on to the race track as three-year-olds next May to contest the 88th running of the King's Plate, the oldest continuously-run race in North America -- or South America, for that matter. The race will be worth around $10,000 altogether, including the 50 guineas donated by His Majesty which give The Plate its name and perpetuates the gift of Queen Vic- toria when the race first was run back in 1860. It's the feature of the Ontario Jockey Club's spring meeting at old Woodbine Park, run over one mile and an eighth, Colts carry 119 pounds. There is no gelding allow- ance. The list of eligibles includes 17 colts, 11 geldings and 16 fillies, the cream of the Canadian crop. In the early spring they'll go in for rigorous conditioning. Half of them will be eliminated months before the race. The remainder will be reduced during the last two or three weeks of intensive conditioning before the starter's bugle shrills out the call for the Plate trial, a fixture of re- cent seasons held a week before the Plate itself. At the moment, all you can do is scan the list and figure which horses are real candidates, which are en- tered for stable prestige, which are entered to perpetuate an historic record of elidibility, The Oshawa Parkwood Stables, owned by Sam McLaughlin, won the Plate last year with Kingarvie. This year they've entered two colts and a filly, Moldy, Pelario and Lochiel Lass, and the latter, the filly, looked the best of the trio. The Toronto Don Earl Stables Watch Wrack was the biggest money winner last season. His total was $5960, $120 more than was earned in last summer's campaigns by Kanlee, the brown gelding en~ tered by Harry Lahman of Toronto after it was purchased from the Giddings' Stable. Other standouts in the list, on basis of last season's racing, appear to be R. W. R. Cowie's filly Yellow- knife, C. W. Lawson's Victory Chimes, J. V. Drumheller's Achtol. But they're all eligible.

BUCKEYES GIVE AGGIES CLOSE 60 The "Buckeyes" of Captain Tony Mayer put up a valiant fight Friday morning against the League-leading "Aggies" of Captain Walter Auld, but were defeated, though not disgraced, 78 to 58, on the St. Andrew's basketball court. The losers did their best job in the second quarter when they held 'the ultimate victors to 14- 16 points, But Aggies had a bit of an advantage in each period, all of which added up to their 20-point win. Great in- terest centres around the final game of the League on Monday (16th) at 10 a.m. sharp, when "Esquires" of Captain Wm. Sik- say meet "Alouettes" of Captain Chas. Hulcio. These two teams have been running neck-and- neck, so are both determined to show their supremacy. The 8 teams of over 100 stu- dents have thoroughly enjoyed their hoop games since last Labor Day. Some of the players have vastly improved their play. All contestants should realis: by now that the first essential is to pot baskets. Next comes the necessity of checking back hard and fast. .The roster of players on the teams of Friday morning is: "BUCKEYES"--Captain Tony Mayer; Jim Milne 22 pts.; Jos- koski 18 pts.; Ray Souch; Brian Cogins; Lloyd Sturch; Doug Armstead; Thos. Anthony; Aus- tin Wiltshire 2 pts; N. Mrozeck 8 pts.; Gordon Myles 8 pts. Total 58 pts.

U.S. Davis Cup Committee Has Selections Made Melbourne, Dec, 14--(AP)--It will probably be Jack Kramer and Ted Schroeder of the United States team against John Brom- wich and Dinny Pails of the de- fending Australian squad in the singles of the Davis Cup tennis matches here during Christmas week, Australia's five-man selection committee met last night to pick the defending team and it was learned authoritatively that Bromwich, Pails, Adrian Quist and Colin Long were chosen, It was indicated that the U.S. team had decided to send Kramer and Schroeder into the singles. Non-playing Captain Walter Pate was expected to announce his team Monday. The American decision would exclude Frank Parker, who ranks higher than Schroeder in the new U.S. Listing. Parker hurt his chances, however, by not playing in the recent Victorian Tourna- ment in which Schroeder reached the final against Bromwich, Jack Barker and Bill MacLean Cop Cribbage Tourney Jack Barker and Bill MacLean won the progressive doubles Cribbage tournament held by the Sergeant's Mess of the 11 C.AR. at the Armouries last night. The winners won all eight of the games played for a perfect score in their popular win. Bill MacLean, who admit- ted playing the game for over 50 years was the senior player in attendance, while RSM. Jack Barker also admitted to some twenty odd years of ex- perience in "pegging." Runners up in the tourney were Cliff. Sewell and Bill Sev- ers, comparative newcomers who won seven of their eight con- bg to finish with a score of The "booby" prize was award- ed to Art Borrowdale and "Wally" Miles who had the dubious honor of being "double skunked" in their first game played against Dave and Dan Matthews, counting but 55 points. While they soon hit their usual stride the handicap still left them behind the field of 36 players at the finish. Have Rangers Got A Secret Hockey Play ? New York, Dec. 14--(CB) -- The Rangers' Rover Line never completed its mystery play in the "Tational Hockey . League game here against Detroit Red Win Wednesday night but a number of hardened observers believe the trio tried to start it twice--ana that it wasn't so secret after alr. The play, worked out by for. wards Cal Gardner, Church Rus. sell and Rene Trudell, and de- fenceman Hal Laycoe while they were with New York Rovers last year, was unv-iled in Boston last Sunday and was alleged to have counted two goals in 35 seconds as the Rangers won 6-4. Wednesday night, the only chance the Rovers had to try thelr dream scheme was in the third period when Doug McCaig of the Wings was serving a penalty, From where we tat, it looked as if the play consisted of a trick vackward pass designed to fool the opposition. There's nothing official in this and we may be dead wrong, but here's what ap- parently happened: With Detroit shortlanded, Ca.dner picked up the puck in the centre zone and skated back into his own territory, Apparent. ly the Wings were scheduled to follow him back en masse. Then, with the Detroit men all bunched in the Ranger zone, Gardner was to flip a blind pass behind him to Russell, lurking in the centre zone, With the Detroiters trapped in the Ranger zone, Russell was sup- posed to have a free rink for a breakaway. Gardner got his pass away but our idea was that things didn't * work out as were planned, The Wings refused to be drawn up to the New York end. And Russell didn't get a chance for a clean breakaway. One thing was evident howev- er: The play is a 1.in-100 chance, It doesn't work unless the opposi- tion is shorthanded, and the only | Fights Last Night | By The Avochted Press Chicago -- Frenchie Perland, Montreal, out Erle Chicago (5); Reuben iy 134, | Mextso Clty" T£.0./d Bity Comer, 130 Montreal (3). 140, | time it works is when its inven- tors are on the ice.
