THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE « THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1947 PORT NAPSHOTS 'Well, me hearties, what goes now? They booed, hissed and laughed when we sat down at the piano and stated in November that Stratford Kroehlers looked like the most likely "dark horse" in the Junior "A" race and when the Kroehlers started off with a couple of defeats at the hands of Barrie and Hamilton, then the howling reached a great crescendo. But all is changed now! Look what happened last night in "The Deserted Village." Chickey-Chick Appel must have glowed rosy- red as his pets walloped St. Mike's 6-2, second-best best licking the "Irish" have had this season, out of only three. The win clinched fourth place for Stratford in the Junior "A" race and put them ahead of Marlhoros or the best Barrie Flyers can do, for Kroehlers now have 42 pints. As usual, there are no Thursday games in the Junior loop, in fact there are no games booked for Friday night either but on Saturday Galt visits St. Mike's; Barrie, goes to Stratford; Young Rangers are playing in Windsor (a 4-point game) and Oshawa plays in St. Catharines. * * * Of course, while the Stratford victory sent their rooters home tickled with delight and assured of a playoff session close-to-home, (with Galt, that is) rather than having to play the first round of the eliminations with Marlboros, it didn't mean much to anybody else. Except perhaps--Coach Joe Primeau may be wondering if that crack "I've got the team that's just starting to come" wasn't made just a little too soon. Could it be that Coach White of Stratford has produced the formula for keeping that Mackell-Sandford- Costello trio subdued.. Mackell got one goal last night and nothing at all on Saturday against Kr s.. It b apparent, doesil't it, that Mackell and these others can be checked! : ' * * Oshawa Generals moved a step nearer second place in the Junior "A" standing when Eric Pogue scored a sparkling solo-rush goal to give the homesters a 6-5 win over Barrie Flyers here last night. It was the first time this season that Oshawa has been able to get a decision over the Flyers and the game was just as doubtful as the scoring sheet indi- cates. Last time here, Barrie kept taking the lead and Generals kept . tying it up, until late in the third, when they ran out of playing time, It was just the same last night, with the shoe on the other foot. Barrie came from behind three times to deadlock the count and might easily have been in front several times. Cheap Oshawa penalties almost cost the Generals the game, plus some more of that wandering business by the defencemen. Gamble and Samis are two who persist in getting cheap penalties for needless moves and offenses, made when the opposi- tion isn't really threatening. If it's a trip to save what looks like a sure goal, then maybe there is some justification but this business of deliber- ately letting the other guy have the puck so that you can get a chance to crash him, is not smart. * * * Last night's game was a funny one! Barrie looked ordinary in their own end of the rink and even at centre-ice but they flashed smart passing attacks and heady plays when in scoring position and they skated step-for-step with the homesters, in fact, had an edge in speed at times. The Generals, checked hither-and-yon, appeared disorganized but it was Barrie's intentness in going after stray pucks and their good checking that made the locals appear below form. Goalie AL Reddoch didn't look nearly as good as young Strachan at the other end of the rink. Reddoch's casual stand-up style gives the impression that he's not interested and while of course, this is not it is a fact that he had a lot of sloppy rebounds and around his citadel due to lack of prompt clearing. Some local forwards didn't show a great deal either but George who improves almost every game, came up with two nice and Hildebratd also got a couple. St. Pierre, Mousseau, and Heale were all good for Barrie. Heale played with a wrist in a cast. * * * SPORT SHORTS:--Don't forget the "City League" finals at the Areng tonight.

St. Michaels, Junior leaders all season, suffered their third defeat as they could never get against the surprising Kroehlers, currently fourth in the ledgue. Fleming Mackell got the first goal for St. Mike's after four minutes' play, and Roth tied it up before the first period was over. In the second, Billy Flick scored two goals for Stratford, and in the third period Kroehlers added three more--from Casonato, Flick and Roth--to make it 6-1 for Stratford. Migay scored St. Michaels' second goal at 640 of the last period and from there to the final bell Kroehl- ers didn't have too much trouble blocking all St. Mike's scoring at- tempts. Tempers grew hotter as the game progressed and the second period saw a fight between the usually calm Harry Psutka of St. Mike's and George Drysdale of Stratford, both getting major penalties. At Oshawa, the generals were tied 1-1 with Barrie Flyers in the first period, but took a 5-4 lead in the second. Barrie tied it up early in the third, and then Pogue of Osn- awa sank the game-winning count- er. Oshawa's other goals came from Scholes and Hildebrand, with two each, and MacKay. Gariepy, St. Pierre, Fife, Lafrance and Lecour all beat Reddoch in the Oshawa nets but Barrie couldn't quite get the tying counter after Pogue sank his game-winning goal at 12.58 of the last frame. In the Senior game at Toronto Tigers made it 21 victories out of 22 games played, but Staffords came up to the wrong end of a 4-3 count and threatened to tie it until the final bell sounded. Ab Conick scored two Hamilton goals and Shillington and Brady got the others. Bert Peer's lone assist put him atop the Senior scoring list, KROEHLERS CINCH FOURTH PLACE; GENERALS MOVE CLOSER TO SECOND breaking a tie with Hugh Barlow of Hamilton Pats. McKeown, Dixon and Roubell were the Stafford scorers, The close duel resulted in a fight between Ross Knipfel of St.ffords and Clar- ence Shillington of Tigers in the last frame which brought match misconduct penalties for both play- ers after they had resumed their argument in the penalty box. The Seniors next see action Fri- day night, with Tigers at Stratford Indians and Owen Sound Mohawks at Hamilton Pats. Juniors are idle till Saturday. GENERALS Barrie Flyers Tie Up Score Three Times But Pogue's Goal Gives Oshawa Deciding Margin Inconsistent Play of {+ Both Teams Produces Peculiar Game With Plenty of Speed, Goals and Thrills But Little Team-Work -- Close- Checking Most of Time in Direct Contrast to Wide-Open Lapses Which Result in So Many Goals -- Scholes and ' Hildebrand Get Two Apiece (By G.H.C.) In one of those peculiar, incon- sistent close-checking affairs that wrecked three-man attacks but still produced a total of 11 goals, Oshawa Generals nosed out Barrie Flyers 6-5 here last night to move 2 points nearer to second place in the O.H.A. Junior "A". The game was a nip-and-tuck affair as far as the score goes, with the visiting Flyers coming from be- hind three times to tie the count, only to lose out late in the last period when Eric Pogue scored a nifty solo-dash goal. It was the first time this season that the Generals were able to defeat Barrie and last night's game was similar to their last meeting, with the exception that in this case, the Generals kept taking the lead and finally held a 1-goal margin to the bell, where last time, it was Barrie who held the edge periodic- ally and finally made it stick. Looks Are Deceiving Even though the Generals were not .nearly as razor-sharp as in their last home game, against Galt, this due in no small measure of | course to the close-checking tactics of the Flyers, still they actually looked like thé better team throughout, even though they couldn't establish a safe lead. Barrie looked best when Oshawa had the puck. Their diligent check- ing and fast-skating back-check- ing made the Generals look frus- trated. 'The Flyers on the other hand, nearly always looked as if they were just barely clearing the puck out of their own end by acci- dent more than good management. However, once over the centre-ice line they transformed into a sharp, dangerous attacking outfit. Individually, they were shaded by the Oshawa crew but their alertness in taking full advacitage of breaks created by loose pucks, stray passes, etc, belied their impotent appear- ance.' Just when they looked the least dangerous, in fact, appeared to be ready to collapse under the Oshawa pressure, that was just when the Flyers would shap up.a stray puck, :p through or around the Oshawa rearguard and finish off with a mice pass and deadly shot from close quarters. All Even In First The game had barely started when Pogue potted the puck and then when it came back out, Scholes banged it in again. Ref. Patterson ruled "no goal", stating that he had blown his whistle. Like dozens of others--we didn't hear it! It was late in the first period when "Baldy" MacKay finally scored the first goal, or at least, he got credit for it. Prior to this, young Strachan in the net for Barrie had performed puck-stop- ping miracles while Reddoch, at the other end, had to be equally brilliant in spots. Aikens kicked one into the net for Barrie but Ref. Patterson called this one back too. Gariepy had just got back into the game after serving the first penalty when Oshawa got their goal. Pogue had stood in front of Strachan, who refused to be duped, and fired into the pads. Scholes took a swing at the puck in the scramble and it looped in the air. It went out of reach of Strachan's upstretched hand and fell behind him, on the goal-line. The puck ap- peared to bounce over the line just as an Oshawa stick (likely Mac- Kay's) made sure of it by. putting it at the back of the met. Gariepy got credit for ie's tying goal in the last minute and half of play, although it looked to us as if LaFrance actually scored the goal with his own shot. Hectic Second Period The middle stanza was a hecti@ affair, crammed with action and seven goals. George Scholes got the first one. Pogue tried to pass across the ice to Gamble but Gariepy partially deflected the pass and Scholes, trailing the attack, snared the loose puck, moved in and fired past Strachan, who had his view blocked by Gariepy. Barrie tied it up with a flukey goal, St. Pierre, their ace of the 2ight, doing the scoring on a pass from Aitkens. This one came after St. Pierre, standing alone in front of the net, had been dumped by Samis, just as he was going to shoot. Samis was thumbed off for the trip and he had just nicely got acquainted with the timekeeper & 4 The Summary 'The teams 2 BARRIE FLYERS;- goal, Stra- chan; defense, Gariepy and Long; centre, Mousseau; wings, Favero anid Meagher. alts; Heale, Lecour, St. Pierre, Barrett, Aikens, La France and Fife.

Scholes got his second goal on the prettiest play of the night, to make it 3-2. MacKay passed to Gamble, who steered the puck on to Scholes, waiting in front and he slapped it past Strachan without wasting any motion. St. Pierre then went #0 the sin- bin for slashing and while he was repenting, Ike Hildebrand scored a nifty solo goal. It was a mgpeat solo stick-handling sortie righ! up the centre, such as he had tried previ- ously only to have Strachan make a brilliant save. This time, Strachan couldn't move in time to stop the sizaling drive. Barrie came back in 45 seconds lo make it 4-3 with Fife scoring on a three-way play started by Heale, the flying Flyer who played the game with a broken wrist, in a cast. Strachan back-handed out a hot shot from Cerisino and Barrett dumped Cerisino two minutes later to spoil another good bid. Then Hildebrand got his second goal, with Bauer and Milllard setting up the play. In the last minute, Barrie made it 5-4 from a face-off in the Osh- awa corner, LaFrance banging in Heale's pass before Reddoch could cover, Penalties In Third The third period produced more penalties and less goals. Gariepy got the gate first, early in the fray, to spoil a Barrie pressure session. He was just getting back when Milliard, making a back-pass dur- ing a ganging act, tossed the puck out of the Barrie zone over the blue-line and Heale darted after it. Samis came back like an express train to skate Heale out of the play and into the corner for a private wrestle, but not before Heale slid the puck across to Lecour. The big for the grandstand.

A penalty to Cerisino a few sec- onds later helped Barrie to put on the pressure but the action was still ding-dong and end-to-end. It con- tinued to the middle of the period then Gamble got a penalty for charging and again Barrie put on the ganging-act. but Reddoch and his mates held them off. St. Pierre was hurt in this pres- sure session and had to go to the dressing room for a stich in a head cut. He had just left the ice when Geriepy drew a penalty for tripping Hildebrand, as he tried to break away on the boards. That penalty proved ' costly to the visitors for Oshawa scored. the. goal while Gariepy was serving his time. It was Eric Pogue who snatched the hero's role, with a beautiful stick-handling sortie at top speed, right up the centre of the ice. He split the defense after he had tossed the puck through, knifed through to recover it and beat Strachan with a power-packed drive, about six inches off the ice. At that, the Barrie youngster al- most deflected" it out. A penalty to Samis 39 seconds later gave Barrie the big chance to tie it up once more but they found themselves held by the desperate Oshawa team. With 6 seconds left, Gamble drew his second penalty of the period and the game ended with Reddoch saving the last Bar- rie bid: for the equalizer. Several Standouts St. Pierre was his team's most potent and dangerous puck-carrier The Times-Gazette Classified Ads Bring Quick Results. with Heale, despite his cast-cased wrist, Mousseau, Favero and La- France all skating very fast and being real threats. However, Stra- chan was still Barrie's best, with a superb. goal-minding chore. For Oshawa, Geo. Scholes with two goals and a fine night's wotk all-round, was especially pleasing. Ike Hildebrand had two goals also while Pogue, even though he potted only the winning goal, turned in another high-speed performance of skill. Bauer and Milliard were both to the fore also but the Oshawa de- fensemen did too much rushing and were too often out of position. STRATFGRD SURPRISES ST. MIKES Stratford, Feb. 13--(Spsci:D-- Strat'ord Kroehlers, led by clever Billy Flick, who turned the hat- trick, trounced the mighty St, Miz- hael's College Majors 6-2 in a hard- smashing OHA Junior "A" battle last night before a' packed arena of shrieking fans. It was only the third loss this season for the East- ern Canadian champions. Tied 1-1 at the end of the first pericd, the homesters, who lost a close cne to the Majors in Toronto last Saturday, went intc a 3-1 lead in the second and outscored their rivals 3-1 in the third session.' Ragged checking produced a dis- play of fisticuffs in the middle frame when the usually-unperturb- ed Harry Psutka of the Collegians tangled with George Drysdale of Stratford. Both sat out major p:n- alties. The Toronto lads, usually strong finishers, were unable to do much in the way of a rally against Strat- ford and the home team held a 6-1 advantage before Rudy Migay snar- ed the Saints' second counter. That came at 6:40 of the final frame and Stratford gave a stout defensive dis- play from there in. Fleming Mac- kell counted the only cther Toronto goal in the opening frame. Besides Flick, with three goals, Roth got two and Casonato one. ST.

Peterboro Men Advance Over Oshawa Entry The Peterboro Curling Club rep- resentatives, skipped by the veteran besom an' stane expert Ray Best, will represent Division No. 5 in the British Consols single-rink playoffs for Provincial title and Macdonald Brier honors. The Liftlock City rink, consisting of B. Harrison, K, Bissett, J. Brown and Ray Best, skip, defeated the Oshawa rink of Ray Bemis, Dr. Jack Brock, Wm. H. Karn and Dr. "Andy" Harding, skip, in their sud- den-death playoff game, here last night by a score of 17-10. Each rink had won a previous el- imination tournament at their own Pts | club. The Oshawa four scored a singleton on the opening end but the Peterboro curlers came back with three-straight 2-shot.ends and then scored a disastrous 5-end to take a commanding lead. Harding and his men came back with a 4-end to make it 11-5 and then didn't quite hold their own for the rest of the tightly piayed game, which saw the Liftlock City boys play a deadly "tap-out" game, once Shey had built up their comfortable ead, The strategy worked nicely tuo, for the Oshawa foursome tried hard to at first whittle down the big de- ficit and then in the closing stages, tried for big ends, but in each case, they were foiled.
