Freeman Waugh's rink from Royal Canadians had the high for two wins with a 17 total while R. McDonald of Locust Hill was high for the single-game win, with a score of 8. It proved a very successful bonspiel with excep- tionally keen competition prevailing throughout. Today, a group of teachers {rm Oshawa, Toronto and neighboring clubs, will stage a 3-game tourney here, in what might be termed the "Pedagogues' Bonsplel" Other members of the local club are advised to be on hand to watch these games today and learn that which will be taught. 0» Ld * Rallying gamely after a tough grapple with Christmas dinners, Oshawa Generals hit "The Queen Elizabeth" today for St. Catharines, to take on the much-improved Falcons in their first clash of the season. Tomorrow night, St. Kitts pay a return visit to Oshawa and that will conclude half of Oshawa General's schedule for the sea- son, or a little better. If the Generals can win over the Falcons up in St. Catharines tonight, they'll tighten their grip on 2nd place but if they lose, they'll ind Galt Red Wings up with them, provid ing of course, that the Red Wings can win their game up in Strat. ford tgnight. Screwy schedule, in places, isn't it? Tomorrow, Kroehlers go right back to Galt tomorrow night. Windsor visits Young Rangers and Hamilton visits Marlboros, And just to All * * up the column the easy way for today and at the same time, pass along to local fans what other scribes are talk- about these days, here are a couple of "clippings" taken from the sports columns of "Chick" Appel of Stratford and Laurie Brain of Galt. They make interesting reading. ("Chick's Chatter," by "Chick" Appel, Stratford Beacon-Herald) "Coach Carl ites Jove in i ar his en team from the nS paid plenty of divi- dends in the game against St, Cath- arines Falcons in the Garden City Saturday evening. While most of the scoring punch was confined to the line of Roth, Flick and Mickos- ki, the other attacking unit of Kullman, Robertson and Casonato went well. Mickoski looked like a different player on left wing instead of in his usual centre-ice spot. He not only checked better than he had jous game this year, y-on-the-spot when Mickey Roth set him up. And Roth gave a perfect display of how an unselfish centreman should handle himself. Time and again he had Haunn beaten only to pass the puck to either Mickoski or Flick. The move paid off four times, but both Nick and Billy hive as many more scoring chances. "George Roltertson played under a real handicap Saturday. During the first two period he was skating on a broken blade while in the third period he was using Whart- on's skates and they were too pinching his feet, George got one assist, but his effectiveness was 'badly impaired by the fact he was unable to skate with Arnie Kullman who centred the line. Sammy @asonato, over on right wing, on the Kullman line, turned in a fine effort. change, ® hich added to the defensive strength the club, was the shifting ot tt Mescich from the wing to the ence. with "Dunc" Daniels, who incidentally continued in his greatly improved role, Matt an excellent game, making lew mistakes and showing a will- ingness to hand out the body which LJ augers some stiff checks for op- posing forwards from here on in, Mescich has never played on the defence before, but if he plays unly as well in future as he did Satur- day, the move was a good one which will greatly help the defensive play of the club." hd ("Sifting The' Sports," by Laurie Brain, Galt Daily Reporter) "There have been better games of hockey played at the Shade street arena, but we doubt if any have proved more exciting than Saturday night's rugged tilt be- tween the vastly-improved Oshawa |- Generals and the slipping Red Wings. The first period was with out a doubt the most hectic 20 minutes of any game this season, and the leather-lunged fans howled their delight as the teams banged home seven goals, most of them with opposing players resting in the cooler, LK J "Charlie Conacher? ace line of Leo Curik, Chuck Blair and Ray Ceresino was the best threesome out there and accounted for four of the Generals' seven goals, Blair potted the first two goals in 13 seconds and was a thorn in the side of Red Wings all night, Ceresino grabbed off a pair of counters while Curlk handed out three as- sists. The latter was watched pretty closely by the Galt rearguard and took a rough ride throughout. A "Ike Hildebrand "was another General hard to stop, The New Westminister lacrosse star sank two goals, including the tally that prov ed the winner. Baldy McKay (don't know where they get the Baldy stuff from) was a going con= cern all night. He took plenty of bumps but handed them out with- out fear or favor, His effectiveness is best summed up in the fact that he notched one goal and gave three assists." * L * SCISSORED SPORT--(By The Canadian Press)--French horse breeders, who until recently were finding difficulty making racing pay because of high upkeep costs and small prizes; now are reaping a hand- some profit from the boom in London racing prices.

President Hanson Dowell of Middleton, N.8, sald that Canadian participation in hockey play at the 1048 Olympics ranks high on the agenda. The meeting will decide whether to send a Canadian team and how it will be selected. The meeting also is expected to fix dates for the Allan Cup and Memorial Cup play-offs for 1047. Mr. Dowell said there may be some brief discussion of the world hockey tournament scheduled for Prague this winter but "I doubt that we will be sending a team now that the arrangements between the Brit- ish Ice Hockey Asscclation and the Edmonton Canadians fell through." The Canadians, runners-up last season for the Western Canada junior title, announced recently the guarantze offered by the B.LH.A. was insufficient; The talks with I.I.H.A, representa- tives will be held this morning to discuss questions which also affect the United States Amateur Hockey Association.
