THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY - 15, 1947 PAGE TWELVE By PORT NAPSHOTS Compteu Oshawa Generals are playing up in St. Catharines tonight and they go to Barrie to tackle the Flyers for the last time in the schedule, on Monday night. If Oshawa Generals win these two games, they'll be tied with Galt Red Wings for second place--unless of course, the Red Wings pull off an upset and win over St. Mike's up in Toronto this afternoon Barrie Flyers are playing a postponed game up in Stratford tonight and a win for Barrie either tonight or Monday, would put them closer to Sth place, at present held by Marlboros. The Marlies find they'll not have ice at Maple Leaf Gardens (imagine, and it's a Gardens' team, too) so they are looking for playoff grounds. Their game with Barrie Flyers would draw fairly well in Oshawa, we would imagine, although Mgr Marold Ballard is thinking of taking it to either Galt or St. Catharines. Young Rangers are playing a 4-polnt game in Windsor tonight also, if anyone is particularly interested. > * + + All keyed up after that win over St. Mikes, "Chickery-Chick" Appel almost blew a fuse on Thursday but we were more interested in his column on Wednesday, when after criticising "Bunny" Morgan- son on his remarks concerning the Senior O.H.A. situation, Chick then let drive at "Bunny" on this business of being "Spy XX" for the O.HA. and his invading the referee's dressing room--as he did in Oshawa the night Fleming Mackell got his 80th scoring point and a new record. "Bunny", of course insists that he said nothing, only there to get the score-sheet. Ref. "Red" Farrell also stgted that "Bunny" said nothing BUT--maybe Appel's column in the Stfat- ford paper gives the answer, eh? We only know, for sure, iiat Ref- eree Red Farrell first announced it as an unassisted goal--so he couldnt have been in doubt and Linesman Bill Morrison stated, for publication, that it was an unassisted goal. However, another Osh- awa man's story differs with the statements made by the official and unofficial O.H.A. men. Anyway, here is what Appel has to say for "Bunny" Morgansen and his tactics around the referee's rooms. Mr. Hewitt--you should read this one! Here it is:-- * + + * "It could be that "Bunny" is devoting too much time to checking up on referees and neglecting the chore assigned him that of compiling statistics and standings. It has occurred to this corner for some time that he may be over-stepping his authority in ordering referees around and telling them their mistakes between periods. Several officials have in- formed this corner that while they resent some of "Bunny's" actions, there is nothing else they can do about it, if they want to continue receiving assignments, because he is acting for the O.H.A. It would be a good idea if the O.H.A. executive defined "Bunny's" duties, so that others would know where they stand. After all, he lives in Torontc, and judg- ing by his shouted remarks from the penalty bench at Maple Leaf Gardens it isn't very difficult to reflize where his sympathies rest. Yet he objects to visiting scribes shouting. words of encouragement to their teams. "But it doesn't stop there, because at the conlusion of each period, whether the game be in Toronto or elsewhere, when "Bunny" is present he rushes to the referee's room to point out to them where they erred. Sometimes he is wrong, but the referee knows which side of his bread is buttered and consequently says little or nothing. Certainly he refrains from arguing the point, because he realizes to do so might mean an un- favorable report on his work. Only Saturday afternoon "Bunny" in- formed this observer that he didn't like the work of one of the officials, although another Toronto scribe commended the official on a fine chore. Every sport writer prefers some official to others, but the difference is that "Bunny's" favorites get the breaks, while the others are forged to take the crumbs. Some referees themselves would confirm this if they cared little whether they ever got another assignment or not, but the others admit they dare not."

He also called for an investigation by the P.G.A. of Dick Metz, a touring golfer, who Corcoran said was guilty of a "cowardly and unprovoked" attack on him at Carmel, Cal, last June 10 and again when Corcoran 'left hospital. The alleged attack gained considerable prominence in newspapers at the time and the P.G.A. penalized Metz to the extent of not permitting him to play in a couple of money tournaments. Corcoran said he was not satisfied with the punishment meted out . .. .

The opening game of the playoffs will probably see the locals minus at least one of their defense stalwarts, "Ab" Barnes, who is under doctor's orders to stay off skates for a few days. : Bill Mortimer, who has been lost to the team for the past six weeks owing to a twelve stitch cut over the right eye which affected the sight, is still a doubtful starter, although it is hoped that he will be available. Ken McNaught is receiving heat treatments for a badly bruised shoulder but will be available for Monday night's game. If Barnes or Mortimer do not start, it is quite likely that Gar Peters will move back to the rearguard, a position that he likes to play and has capab- ly filled in at before, > Although injuries to the defence is causing coach Kennie Sanders sleepless nights, up front the team is in fine fettle with all the for- wards ready to go. .

Senior Basketball Boys Defeat Their Lindsay Visitors: Junior Students Win Ex.-Tilt Senior Cagers Are Too Smart for Scugog Stu- dents -- Game Proves Listless and Uninter- esting -- Crawford and Hanna Score 10 Points Apiece, to Pace Win- ners By BOB RIFE The O.C.V.§ Senior squad playing in the second half of a twin-bill at the Collegiate gym last night rack- ed up another win, 38-14 over the Lindsay Senior cagers. The win puts the Red, Green and Gold quintet in second place just one win behind the league-leading Peterborough squad. The game, if it could be called such, was one of the most peculiar of the season in that neither team seemed to worry about the outcome at all but were seemingly just out on the court for the fun of showing off before a crowd, The scoring that was done was either after a session of sparkling basketball or after one of those freak breakaways and shots that everyone seemed to be trying all night long. The outcome of the game was never really in doubt and although the Lindsay boys tried hard at times they did not have it in them to win. The first half of the game was very cleanly played with only two fouls being called and the teams were just playing around with the ball at the half with the score 20-6 for Oshawa. The second half of this game was not the best in history and it might well rate with the worst for the boys started to rough a little, but of course only when the referee was watching. They seemed to take a delight in flouting the law, so to speak. : The guards on both teams got a little fed-up with the joy-ride go- ing on in the front lines so they started to make a ball game out of it and with Hanna and Mozewsky boring in for Oshawa and Walker and Preston working hard for Lindsay, the game started to gradu- ally straighten itself out. Lindsay put on a determined bid in the final minutes of play but they were far behind as it was and so the attempt was in vain. The high scorers for Oshawa were Crawford and Hanna with 10 points apiece. But a lot of hard work was done by Mozewsky and Reddoch in making the score what it was. For Lindsay, the best man on the floor was Preston. He had a nice set shot which he was able to get away from almost anywhere to pot some beauties. Walker was the only other player of note in the Lindsay lineup and he showed his best in the second half. Officials;- Seeley, referee; Rob- son, umpire; Wells, .time-keeper; and Anderson, scorer.

Juniors Defeat Oshawa "Huskies" in Close Match -- Come From Behind to Take Decision in 2nd Half-- New Backboards Give Trouble By BOB * The O.C.V:I. Junior team won their exhibition game with the Oshawa "Huskies" up at the Col- legiate gym last night by a score of 28-24, The Lindsay Junior team has dropped from the league and so this ex. battle was arranged with a group of boys well known locally for their work in the hoop game. The game itself was the more thrilling of the two staged last aight and it was full of fast passes, and sharp playmaking. The Juniors played a heads-up game all the way and showed their staying power in the -last half when 'they steamed into the lead and held it for the remainder of the tilt. The first half of the game was played in a tight zone defence with neither team giving an inch before the onslaught of fast breaking play. Robson broke the deadlock and potted the first shot for the Husk- ies. From then on the Huskies showed pieces of great set-up play that gave them a lead of 16-7 at the half, The second half, as is usually the case, was the one that told the tale, for the Huskies, although playing a heady game, did not have the speed or staying power to last and the Juniors started to roll in the bas- kets one after another. "Bunny" Maeson was the spark in the last half rally as he used a two-handed set shot to perfection in getting the desired results. The other standout performers of the forward line were Gifford and Har- ris. These boys worked themselves hard fast and furious to the end that they tied the score and started to edge up into a winning position on their more experienced rivals. The oval backboards gave both teams a lot of trouble as shots that would have been labelled and de- livered on the old boards rolled out and off. Patte, in particular, had bad luckq in this and his scoring suffered tremendously ' from the smaller shaped boards. The Huskies switched to a man- to-man defence in the last quarter and in doing so they threw away their last chance at gaining a win for the Red, Green and Gold squad swept all before them in a terrific sustained attack to protect their lead. They not only protected their lead but managed to score a couple of times in the process and so salt the game away. For the Huskies Seeley was top man with points while Patte and Robson were the other big threats when under the basket. : The O.C.V.I. Juniors were a group of stars but the standout was Mae- son in a scoring way and Szikszay in the column of top flight play- making. Patte, rf ... Robson, If , Hess, c ..

News od Views IN THE Industrial Loop By SIDELINER Due to circumstances which are entirely beyond the control of the league it is necessary to regretfully inform teams scheduled to play Monday night that the games must be held over until a later date. The reason, of course, is that the 'Legion, which has had the use of the arena on Monday nights all season, will commence its play-offs. It was the understanding of the league that this period was ours for the remainder of the season and we do not think we labored under any misapprehension. Officials of the league are now negotiating for use of another eve- ning and it is hoped that one will be 'obtained for later next week. We quite realize that upwards of 1,000 persons will experience disappoint- ment because they had made ex- tensive plans to see games which were - scheduled especially so that they might view their favorites. All we can ask is that they be patient. We have to. What else can we say? Except, perhaps, Kill-joy was here.

Plenty of Penalties in Second and Third Peri- ods -- Oshawa Legion Rally Falls a Goal Short -- Several Regu- lars Not in Line-Up Preston, Feb. 15-- (Special) --Osh- awa Legionnaires dropped a 5-4 de- cision to the Kitchener Legionnaires here last night in the final game of their O.H.A. Inter. "A" group sche- dule. The same two teams open their group semi-final playoff series, in Oshawa, on Monday night. Minus several of their regulars, including Mortimer, Barnes, Mec- Naught, Tisdall, Barker, Dafoe and Peters, the Oshawa Legion squad tried hard but just didn't have the power necessary. Kitchener Legion- naires outscored the Motor City visitors 2-1 in each of the first two periods and then Oshawa's rally in the third period gave them the same margin, one short of tying it There were a flock of penalties in the game, three in the first stanza, and seven in the middle frame with seven more in the third period. They were all minors. Murphy, Hinton, White, Valentine, Furey and goalie Barriage were the pick of the Oshawa team with Wendorff shining for Kitchener, with three of his team's five goals. S.

Barbara Ann Moves Closer World's Title Stockholm, Feb. 15 -- (CP) -- Graceful, green-eyed Barbara Ann Scott, Canada's golden girl of fig- ure-skating, whirled today into the last exacting lap of an international competition promising the same world fame that Norway's Sonja Henie won in the same events a decade ago. Within tantalizing reach of the dainty, 18-year-old Ottawa skater was the objective she has prized since she first donned blades at the age of seven -- victory in the ladies' section of the world figure skating championships. Into the decisive 2nd day she car- ried a comfortable lead over 20 op- ponents in Stockholm's huge ice stadium, where she dazsed spec- tators yesterday with her poise and elegance in the first half of the compulsory-figures competition. The girl who gave up party frocks and fancy food for a training regi- men that would startle a single- minded scientist scored 873.4 points to 842.6 for Gretchen Merrill of Boston, acclaimed two years ago as the closest approach to Miss Henle the United States has seen. Britain's Daphne Walker was third with 834.1 and Miss Walker's countrywoman, Jennie Altwegg, held fourth place with 819 points, *But the judges and spectators had eyes only for Ottawa's Barbara Ann, who won the European title two weeks ago at Davos Platz, Switzerland, and thus wasn't around to defend her Canadian title. The story of the first day was Barbara Ann all the way. Wearing a white sweater with red embroid- ery and a pigeon-blue skirt, the dainty daughter of the late Col. Clyde Scott steadily increased the lead of 10 points by which she won over Miss Merrill in the first two figures and finished the day with & lead of 30.8 points. Orono Juniors Win Home Game Over Pt. Perry Orono, Feb, 15 -- Orono Juniors, playing on their own ice, downed Port Perry last night by a score of 9-3. Port Perry played under s handicap during most of the game, as their goalie, Pargater, was hit with the puck and had to be car- ried from the ice. Scott, who filled in for the balance of the game 7 | wasn't able to cope with the marks manship of the locals. The score was tied 2-2 at the end of the first period but Orono banged in two more goals during the second frame while keeping the visitors scoreless.
