THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE MONDAY, JANUARY 20, 1947 MAKING IT "S& HOT FOR THE BOYS IN THE MANITOBA JUNIOR & LEAGUE SCORING RACE They did it before--and they've done it again! Hamilton's Junior OHA. team in the "A" group came to Oshawa with only part of a team one night last season, and they had to start without any substitutes Saturday night the same thing occurred again here, with Hamilton start- ing the game with only six players, and late at that. Later, three other players arrived. This was not car trouble! The Hamilton team needn't blame this affair on car trouble. It's obvious that they didn't get away from Hamilton in time, because they weren't sure whether or not they were going to have a team. The three who did arrive later were almost "strangers" to the rest, names which haven't been playing regularly with Hamilton this season. By finally putting in an appearance, even though late, the Szabos protected their $500.00 forfeit deposit but perhaps it wasn't worth that to the Oshawa fans. They didn' see much of a game after it did get going. ; + » + LJ The six men who started the gime for Hamilton were so tired at the end of 12 minutes play without a rest that their play for the yest of the night was seriously handicapped. The Generals were y tame themselves in the first period. That trip home from West had taken its toll and they were dull and listless, with no on the attack." They scored only one goal in that first 12 minutes and added one more soon after the Hamilton subs got into action and the period ended 2- In the third stanza, the Generals ran wild against a disorganized club which had to rest forwards by on defence. Pierre Cadieux and Howson, the Ham-- goalie, were the visitors' two stars. Howson stopped a lot of ots he didn't known anything about but he also turned in a fine attention of the fans. Blair, Cerisino an Milliard each scored three for the h sters and Scholes got a pl Blair was the only right-winger to get a goal--and something should be done about that, boys, right away! LJ + Ld * The Junior "A" race tightened right up over the week-end. Galt Red Wings took a 6-5 defeat in a 4-point game at Maple Leaf Gardens, with Marlboros coming from behind several times, finally tying the score and taking the lead just before the game ended. That 4-point gain puts Marlies, with 38 points, up tied with Galt, for second place. Osh- awa Generals are in 4th spot with 36, following their win. The Generals have more games to play than either Galt or Marlies--but some of them are going to be mighty tough to win, such as in Toronto on Wed. night against St. Mike's, up in Galt this Saturday and in Toronto against Marlies the following Saturday. St. Kitts Falcons are no longer "a soft touch," especially on their own ice. They surprised Barrie Flyers Sat. night, with a 5-5 tie in St. Kitls. That gives Barrie 34 points for 5th place, 4 points ahead of Stratford Kroehlers. The players, with the fans joining in, staged a free-for-all in St. Kitts and the police had to be called to clear the ice. These Barrie boys do have an exciting time, don't they? Windsor Spitfires play a 4-point game in Hamilton tonight, only game scheduled before Wednesday. L 3 J Ld Oshawa Legionnaires are in action t at the Osh Arena against the London Majors and it should be a hockey battle worth tching. London asked permission to come into the group race for O.H.A. Intermediate "A" honors, late in the season, after the St. Catharines' Moose team had defaulted. Now we tind that this Lon- don team has played a bunch of exhibition games this scason and so far, haven't been beaten, in fact, they haven't been extended. They are rated as some shucks, by tiie Western Ontario hockey ex- FPN (Continued on Page ¥ Fronts This Week! Mon. Night -- Legionnaires vs. London | WED. NIGHT-JUNIOR "B*" HOCKEY Sig NIGHT -- CITY LEAGUE | FRI. NIGHT - SKATING | SAT. AFT. SEATING SAT. NIGHT - SKATING OSHAWA ARENA JUNIOR O.H. A. RACE TIGHTENS UP AS STRETCH NEARS By The Canadian Press * Toronto St. Michael's Majors ex- tended their lead in the O.H.A. Junior "A" circuit to 12 clear points over Galt Red Wings as a result of the week-end games. 'While St. Mikes were gathering an easy four points in a 6-1 victory over Toronto Young Rangers, the Red Wings were defeated by Tor- onto Marlboros 6-5. In the two other games, Oshawa Generals showed 70 mercy as they piled up a 15-0 score on Hamilton Szabos, while 8t. Cath- arines Falcons and Barrie Flyers fought overtime to a 5-5 deadlock. "Irish" Have 50 Points The result leaves St. Mike's head- ing the parade with 50 points and Galt alone in second place at 38. Oshawa and Marlboros are tied for third at 36 each, with Barrie in fifth place at 34. Stratford comes next with 30. Then there's a long gap in front of the four other teams --S8t. Catharines, Hamilton, Wind- sor Spitfires and Young Rangers. There's only one game on the card tonight, a junior tilt between Windsor and Szabos at Hamilton. At Oshawa Saturday night Red- doch in the Generals' nets had the easiest shut-out of his career as the Oshawa puckmen scored virtually at will. Among the total of 29 scoring points Cerisino, Blair and Milliard each scored three goals, and Scholes got two. The other goals went to Bauer, MacKay, Gamble and Curik. Hectic at St. Kitts It was a different story at St. Catharines, where Flyers and Fal- cons were tied 2-2 in the first and 4-4 in tbe second, with the third period scoreless. In the overtime each team got a single. Falcons' scorers were McOustra, Kodatsky, Geoghan, Currie and MacDonald. St. Pierre had two for Barrie, Fife, Barrett and Favero getting the others. In the Toronto double-header St. Mike's were never in danger and their goals were evenly divided be- tween Sandford, Hannigan, Psutka, Harrison, Paul and Costello, while Pidherney got the sole Young Ran- gers counter. Upset for Red Wings Galt Red Wings and Marlies were even 1-1 in the first and the Wings took a 3-2 lead after the second period, but Marlies ran in four more in the final frame while Galt could add only two. Naylor and Kent each scored twice for Marlboros, Timgren and Ford getting the oth- ers. Uniac scored three of the Galt counters, the others coming from Anderson and Wylie. . GENERALS HAVE IT EASY ON RETURN Hamilton's 9-Man Club Outclassed Hamilton Szabos, at least a half- dozen of them, arrived at the Osh- awa Arena late on Saturday night and three more of the team arrived after that, twelve minutes after a delayed face-off. When it was all over, Oshawa Generals had chalked up a 15-0 victory, in a game that had only Oshawa's scoring success to recommend it. If the Szabos had defaulted the game, the 1-0 score wouldn't have looked as bad, but as it was, they protested their deposit and gave the fans who turned out, some measure of entertainment. No Subs, at Start They just had six players at the start of the game and for twelve minutes, they had to carry the mail all alone.. After that, there were three more players available on the bench but that's all and in order to rest his defensemen once-in-a- while, the Hamilton coach had to drop a tired forward back to the rearguard, and let him take his "breather" there. It was a gruelling grind for the Szabos and even though Coach Conacher had his lines doing double duty in the early stages and later on, the Generals still had it all their own way, despite the fact that they were 'no ball of fire" either, show- ing definite signs of train-weari- ness after their Western Canada jaunt. If it hadn't been for the Hamil- ton goalie, Howson, the score might easily have been 30 to 0. Fin- ally he lost interest at times, but he stopped dozens of shots, some which he didn't even see and others on which he pulled off a brilliant move. Honors Divided Chuck Blair, Ray Cerisino and Johnny Milliard each collected three goals, with George Scholes getting a couple. Curik, Gamble, Bauer, and MacKay divided the other four tallies. Most of the oth- ers managed to get the odd point for an assist, Al. Reddoch got him- self a shutout and got it by doing a nice' job on anything he had to stop--which wasn't much. Pierre Cadieux was the other Hamilton star, besides their goalié. Cadieux played sixty minutes, took his rests on defense or while "loaf- ing" just outside his own blue-line, when his mates were being ganged, which was often, but he turned in some rare turns of speed, showed plenty of ability on his own thrusts and earned the admiration of the fans with his accurate passing. Slow First Period Despite the goals scored, the first period was slow and listless, 'with the Oshawa team mot too keen but having a definite edge. Bauer's line tried hard and were "robbed" sev- eral times by Howson. Play pepped up in the second stanza, with the Generals still dom- inating the action, Hamilton having only one good scoring chance in this frame. In the third period, "Baldy" Mac- Kay drew a penalty for taking a swing at Sonmor of Hamilton, fel- lowing a sticking duel behind the net, George Scholes' solo goal was a pretty stick-handling job and was one of the nicest tallies of the night, Even when Pogue drew a penalty for high-sticking Hogan and Osh- awa had two men in the penalty box, Hamilton was too tired to stage a pressure play. With the Generals speeding up in the final frame, only the Hamil- ton goalie and his desperate de- fensemen kept the score down to the "teens", HAMILTON -- Goal, Howson; de- fense, Narduzzi, Hogan; centre, Ca- dieux; wings, Bragagnono, Piasecki; alternates, Burns, Scarfetti, Bonmor.

In the first half of an OHA Junior "A" doubleheader, leading St. Michael's College Majors decisioned Young Rangers, 6-1, for another four- point win. Marlboros are now tied with the Red Wings for second place. A crowd of 4,613 came, expecting to see the two strongest teams coast to triumph. Instead, both Galt and St. Michael's found the opposition hard to hold, with the Red Wings failing to make the grade. Jimmy Uniac scored three times for Galt. Frank Kent, who sank the tying goal, and Ken Naylor tal- lied twice for the Dukes, St. Mike's were without Fleming Mackell. The group's leading scorer has been suspended from the team for academic reasons, accord- ing to Father H. V. Mallon, the col- lege's athletic director. Mackell may be back in-the lineup when the Irish meet Oshawa Generals here Wednesday night. * First Game ST, MICHAEL'S -- goal, Harvey; de- fence, Psutka, Wolt; centre, Migay; wings, Harrison, Winslow; alternates, Sandford, Costello, Hannigan, Paul, Kelly, McLellan.

Undefeated, So Far According to Manager Bill Far- quharson of London, their team has played a number cf exhibition con- tests this year against Western On- tario opposition and has yet to be extended. Among the players, a number are familiar to Oshawa hockey followers including "Red" Geddes, who starred in Northern Ontario Hockey, Gil Robertson who performed with distinction while wearing the colours of Toronto Tip Tops and Stratford Seniors. Tommy Moffatt in goal played with Strat- ford Seniors and starred on numer- ous Army teams in the past few years. Russ Evon is the team's lead- ing scorer and plays on a line cen- tered by Ken McFadden, renouned for his playmaking ability, and Jack Mustill who has quite a reputation as a hockey player in the London area. Two Defensemen Missing Coach Ken Sanders will again ice a strong line-up for the Legion- naires, who are determined to over- take Brantford Redmen for the league leadership. Jack "Junior" McMullan, ill with a touch of pneu- monia and Bill Mortimer, still both- ered with an eye injury, will be among the missing. The defence chores however, will be capably taken care of by Captain Cliff Hin- ton, "Ab" Barnes, Ken McNaught and Tom Murphy all of whom need no introduction to Oshawa fans, . "Doc" Dafoe May Play Up front Oshawa has no worries although Gar Peters' is still bother- ed to a small extent by a stiff knee. Lloyd "Doc" Dafoe, pint-sii2d right winger is expected to make his debut tonight and with Bill Barker, Jack Tisdall, Alex Reid, Frank White, Doug Furey, Don Sawyer and "Andy" McMullan available for duty, the Oshawa sniping brigade will be well fortified.

MICHAEL'S MEN COP HONORS IN ONE-DAY SPIEL Frank Michael's rink captured the top honors on Saturday at the Oshawa Curling Club as 16 rinks of local members enjoyed one of the best one-day bonspiels in the his- tory of the club. Michael skipped his foursome to - three wins for an aggregate total of 35, to win the four new "Stetsons"s donated to the club for the event by Don. Kinloch. The winners defeated Norval Willson's rink in the first game 12-2, had a tough fight to nose out Jack McLeod's rink in the second draw, 7-6 and then in the third game at night, came from behind an 8-2 deficit at the half-way mark to beat out Al. Parkhill's rink 16-10 and so cop the honors. The winning rink was comprised of Ken. Fer- guson, Geo. Campbell, Wally Butler and Frank Michael, skip. Bill Ross's Rink Second "Bill" Ross skipped his rink to three wins to take the second set of prizes, four handsome auto rugs, donated by General Motors of Can- ada, Ltd. Ross and his mates had their toughest game in the first draw, beating out Ben Ward's rink on an extra end, after each had scored 7 shots in the regular 8 ends. In the second game, Ross's rink defeated Alex Brodie 9-6 and in the third game, triumphed over Angus Barton's rink 10-5, for an aggregate total of 26 for their three wins. "Bill" Ross's rink included "Hap" Grose, Jack Reid and Alec. Hall. Neither Parkhill's rink nor Bar- ton's, both of whom won their first two games, were able to catch third | prize. This went to the rink skipped by Les Eviniss, which dropped their first game to Jack McLeod's rink by 10-5 but came back after that to trounce Don. Holden's rink 15-0 in the second game and defeat Ben | Ward in the third draw, 18-5, for an aggregate of 38, highest of the day, and so take the 3rd set of prizes, travelling kits. This rink was comprised of O. Dingwall, Cameron Cox, Maurice Kirkland and Les Eviniss, skip. Best One-Win Total Jack McLeod's rink won their first game over Eveniss, dropped their second to Frank Michael's men, both prize-winning rinks. In their third game they dropped an enthusiastic 16-11 decisi to Paul Michael's rink and this "best loss" score of the day was sufficient ta give McLeod's rink a total of 27 for their three games with only one win, and so take the 4th set of prizes, neckties.
