FACE TEN THE -DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, ¥ Geo. H. Campbell PORT NAPSHOTS With oniy one game on tap for Junior "A" fans tonight, Guelph Biltmores are visiting the Barrie Flyers; the OHA race is beginning to take definite shape as the "home stretch" approaches and teams make their last mad scramble for a playoff berth. The month of February is "pay-off" time for the teams seeking a berth in the blue-chip games of Junior hockey. A victory for Barrie Flyers tonight on their home ice, over Guelph--and that is expected--will put Flyers back in 3rd place, all alone, a notch ahead of Stratford, who are idle now for about a week. On Saturday, St. Kitts and Marlboros are both in action at the Gardens, against St, Mike's and Galt respectively--and when it's over, they may "still be tied for 6th place--or one team may have a clean-out lead of two points. Of course, it is still mathematically possible for Guelph Biltmores to finish inf 6th place--but highly unlikely. They could make it interesting though if they should pull an upset win tonight in Barrie 'and come back home on Saturday and whip the Flyers again, L + * Locally, we're beating the drums for a new record in attendance, at the Oshawa Arena tomorrow night, Windsor Spitfires and Osh- awa Generals are at present tied for 1st place, with 49 points apiece and with the season drawing rapidly to a close--naturally, this game tomorrow hight is "a natural". Tickets went on sale at Mike's Place yesterday morning at nine o'clock--they didn't have many left for general sale, of course--but even at 2-to-a.customer, they were all gone by ten o'clock. They started lining up before 7:00 a.m, in the morning too! The subscribers have until six o'clock Saturday evening to pick up their tickets and any left--if any--go on sale when the "standing room" sale opens at the Arena tomorrow night. With several carloads of visitors headed here from Belleville, Peterboro, Port Hope, Bowmanville, etc., it wouldn't surprise us to see Mgr. "Ab" Hambly's place bulging at the seams at game time. They've never had to turn anybody away yet, so those who are fated to take standing room tickets or stay home, can feel confident of getting in to see the game--but of course, they'll not have the comforts of a reserved seat LJ > * Since there were no games last night to talk about and we must fill the column up with something of interest to our readers--and since we intend to talk about the curlers later--and since the ski enthusiasts are idle until the week-end agaih--we looked around for a few comments from what "Bunny" Morganson rfers to as "Country Cousins". Here's what Chickie Appel of Stratford had to say, after our Generals rapped Kroehlers 3-1 in Stratford, on Monday night:--"Look Out For Them!-- Oshawa Generals' impressive victory over Stratford Kroehlers here Mon- day night may be an inkling of things that are to come, because there are a lot of fans who believe that the Gens will be the team to beat for Junior "A" O.H.A. honors, having supplanted Windsor Spitfires in the driver's seat last night by virtue of their victory over Galt Rockets. Oshawa's showing here definitely stamps them as a serious contender, because they have a full complement of players who round out a well- balanced team for Coach Tommy Anderson. They have three strong front lines, a staunch defence quartette, backed by a steady goalie in Pete Piquette, and must be rated as one of the real threats." *» ' L J Then Laurie Brain, Galt sports scribe, came up with this on Wed- nesday, after our Generals had edged his Rockets on Tuesday evening:-- "Oshawa Generals were a happy lot following their winning effort here last night against Alfie Moore's battling Rockets. They had every rea- son to be, too. The victory shot them into the top spot in the junior "A" series, two points ahead of Windsor Spitfires. However, Spits have three games in hand over the Motor City team and stand a better than even chance of climbing back on top rung begore the schedule ends. The Oshawa board of strategy apparently wasn® taking any chances of the time clock going wrong because in the dying moments of the game kept hollering up to Abbie Kilgour for a time check. The genial Abbie, who was subjected to much criticism from certain quarters recently when St. Catharines lost a close game to Guelph, was right on the job as always. There's very little to choose between the Generals and Rockets, as statistics on the season's games between the two will bear out. Both Alfie Moore and Tommy (Cowboy) Anderson agreed that a junior "A" final between their charges would be a dilly. That is not beyond the realm of possibility alblet a long way off yet. The tussle lacked little that gives the paying customers an opportunity to put their vocal chords to work. There was plenty of the usual roughhouse with Hopper and LaFrance featured in thg main bout. They drew majors for their fun, even if it was only a mild attempt at shadow-boxing, LaFrance seemed quite insistent on carrying on the "scrap", even from a distance." * EL) J We were talking to "Ticker" Crombie, of Bowmanville, O.H.A. official who has been working a lot in the Eastern Ontario leagues this season and does the odd linesman job here in Junior "A" games. It was Tuesday afternoon at Mike's Place and we were discussing the "hey rubes" which many OHA officials have got into this season and how apparently the parent body hasn't done much to curb this non- sense, sometimes no doubt because the official didn't make a strong enough report to the OHA. We were talking about such referees and their incidents this season as "Dinty" Moore, Frank Elliott, Jack Mc- Eachern and "Ticker" remarked, "Well, I haven't had any trouble yet, but it might happen tonight, I'm going to Lindsay to handle the game between Peterboro Legion and Belleville, and anything ean happen there." Well--"Ticked" called it, to a bull's-eye, "Ace" Nichols of the Legion knocked the official down after a penalty for butt. ending had been meted out and then got a 10-minute misconduct penalty. Now we're wondering if "Ticker" will make sure HIS report of this game, to the OHA Secretary, is as serious as it should be. Every time one of these things happen, the player comes around and apologizes after the game or his manager and a couple of club "big-wigs" visit the Referee and ask him to forget it, tell him it was a rare thing, will certainly not happen again, etc., etc. Yep! They'll they'll do it every time and until the OHA sees on a referee's report that something in the nature of an attack on an official has taken place, they'll take absolutely no action whatever. And rightly so-- the OHA cnnot be expected to take newspaper reports of games as their. official information. bureau, LJ > LJ We said we'd give you some curling. Here's a bit, garnered from 'Dink Carroll's Montreal sports column (via Cec. Perdue of Peterboro), that is alleged to be part of a letter written by one "Sandy" McHolt to "Dink". Our curling friends should like it, too! Here is part of it;-- "Most games, even the most strenuous, are played quietly without noise and yelling by the participants--the spectators do the yelling and the spectators do the playing. You see how crazy this game it. Even players do the playing. But not in curling. Here the players do the yelling and spectators do the playing. You see how crazy this game is. Even the rules of the game 'are posted upside down. Apparently you have to read them while standing on your head. The quiet and friendly com- ments of the spectators, ensconced in easy chairs behind plate 'glass in pleasant, warm surroundings and smoking someone else's cigarettes, are most enlightening. I have learned more of the fine points of curling by listening to spectators than by watching players. . Short as my ex. perience of the game is, and limited as my knowledge of the finer points, I could improve the calibre of play 100 per cent without changing the rules or fmplements of the game or anything else simply by taking all the players off the ice and putting on all the spectators. One record and one only did I establish in my short sojourn into the land of ice and stone--I took up the game and dropped it all in one evening, I plan to go to the club again to take advantage of my peculiar type of membership, but if you're looking for me don't look on the ice." *» -* L J FUTURE GAMES -- Junior "A" hockey puts Guelph against Barrie tonight, and tomorrow brings the big game between Windsor and Oshawa in Oshawa, .

LOTS OF FLA St. Moritz, Jan. 30--(AP)--The fifth winter Olympics, wearing the scars of a bitter dispute over which of two hockey teams should repre- sent the United States, opened to- day in this majestic Alpine valley. Simplicity Keynote In sharp contrast to the fourth games in 1986, in Garmisch- Partenkirchen, Germany, when Hitler presided and the Nazis flaunted their military might, Swiss simplicity Predorninsted, Enrico Celio, esident of the Swiss Federation, said these words: G-WAVING HERALDS OPENING DAY OLYMPIC COMPETITION "I declare the fifth winter games, as part of the 14th modern Olym- pic Games, to have begun." An artillery salute sounded, echoing in the mountains, trumpets played the Swiss National Anthem, the Olympic flag with its five inter-locking. circles was raised and the Olympic torch atop the tower of the main grandstand was lit, 915 Athletes March First came the parade of ath- letes--915 from 28 countries. There were to have been 29, but Pales- tine withdrew at the last minute. The small Greek delegation of six held as usua! first place in the parade out of jespect for the land that gave birth to the Olympic ideal 2,500 years ago. Preceding 'each national group came its national flag. The national squads marched in this order: Greece, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Korea, Denmark, - Spain, United States, Finland, France, England, Holland, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Lybia, Liechtenstein, Norway, Po- land, Romania, Sweden, Czecho- slovakia, Turkey, Yugoslavia and Switzerland. Absent, uninvited were Germany and Japan, Big Parade Preceding each squad came St. Moritz school children bearing the national shield and behind the flag bearers walked officials and con- testants in this order: Military par- ticipants, skiers, skaters, ice hockey players (except for the United States) and sledders.. After the torch was lit all flag carriers arranged themselves in a semicircle in front of the tribune. A Swiss, Bibi Torriani, spoke the solemn Olympic oath. As all of nearly 1,000 athletes | raised their right arms, Torriani | pledged on their behalf that each | would "participate in a chivalrous spirit for the honor of our country | and the glory of the sport." | Yanks Lose- | The United States' Amateur | Hockey Association team bowed to Switzerland, 5-4, today shortly after official opening of the fifth winter Olympic Games. | There was still doubt that the hockey competition would be rec- ognized as an official Olympic event. By BRUCE D. MacFARLANE' 2nd Annual Meet a Success OSHAWA CURLERS SEEK Local Rinks Triumph In Both Tankard and Gov.-Gen.

Holden Lead Local Entries In- to Provincial Semi's| In Governor-General's Cup Event--Oust Last Yedr's Champions -- 1948 Trophy Winners Will Be Decided Today On Toronto Ice (By G.H.C) Oshawa Curling Club representa- tives headed to Toronto this morn- ing, to compete in the Provincial semi-final rounds for two of Ontar- fo's most coveted curling awards, the Ontario Silver Tankard and the Governor . General's Cup. The local curlers earned fheir berths in the semi-finals yesterday in a brilliant display of stout and steady curling against outstanding opposition. Today, the P. Michael and D. Holden rinks meet Galt curl- ers Bloomfield and Patrick in the Governor-General semi-final at To- ronto Victoria Club while the Osh- ewa Tankard rinks will be playing at the Granite Club -- their oppon- ents, from Orillia, being none other than B. M. Hewitt and Stan. Sar- geant, who were the "giant killers" in Thursday's Tankard play in To- ronto and are heavily favored to win the 1948 title, Keen Competition Veteran Oshawa curlers who "ex. perted" the games from behind, the plate glass, and the gallery was a large one, opined that yesterday's curling, while not highlighted by many sensational individual shots, was still one of the best displays of reliable, orthodox and capable curl- | ing seen in the Oshawa rink for many a season. In their opening game, Oshawa had a tight squeeze with the Agin- court rinks. "Al" Parkhill won his game over Len Ross in handy fash- | fon, 21-9 but it was a good job for Bill Brownlee found A. N. Fitisger- ald a mighty tough coustomer and bowed 19-9, making it a 30.28 total. In the other bracket, Dr. J. C. Mal- colmson and Thos, Beattie of Tor- onto Victorias upset the I.indsay rinks skipped by Percy Skitch and George King, with Malcolmson tak- ing Skitch and Beattie whipping | King, Oshawa Takes Final In the final, the Oshawa rinks both won their games from "Toronto Victorias in two brilliantly curled games, "Parky" defeated "The Doc~ tor" 16-14 and Brownlee nosed out | Beattie 12.10, ecming. from behind to do the trick with a stout-bearted finish. That gave Oshawa the round 28-24 and gave them their berth in the semi-finals on Toronto ice, Fri- ay. In the Burden Trophy play, which is the consolation event for the Tankard "eliminated," the Agin- court curlers further confused the Scugog rinks. Percy Skitch managed to defeat L. E. Ross but King was badly trounced by Fitzgerald, 19-8 and that was enough to give Agin- court the total round, 29-22. More Oshawa Winners In the Governor-General's Cup (District Cup) event, Oshawa curl- ers ousted the 1947 trophy-holders in the first round when they whip- ped the Kingston entries. Paul Michael's rink was nosed out by Hank Melvin's men 17-15 but Don, Holden's rink scored one shot over A. L. McFie, on their final 16th end, to win a 16-13 decision and thus give Oshawa the total mar. gin by that one shot, 31-30. In the other round, Agincourt's Roy Shad- lock and J. A. Walton triumphed ov- er Jim Curtis and Roy Jones of Fenelon Falls, both winning very close games. In the final, both Michael. and Holden whipped their Agincourt rivals in handy fashion, for a com- fortable win and now, as conquerors of the Kingston rinks, the Oshawa representatives are favored to win the Governor-General's Cup .in the .| final playoffs in Toronto on Friday. Fergus and Orillia Win In Ontario Curling Trials Toronto, Jan. 30--(CP)--Fergus and Orillia rinks won Ontario tank- ard competition curling matches here late yesterday in double,rink events. The Fergus rink skipped by J. Graham downed Lorne Smith's Mount Forest quartet 17-6. James Howard's foursome from Fergus triumphed 18-6 over the Mount Forest rink skipped by Roy Nickel. Two Orillia rinks beat Kingston. Stan Sargeant trimmed J. W. G. Sands 21-6 and ID. M. Hewitt down- ed R. F.

Conflicting statements had this picturesque Alpine resort in a quandary. Early this morning Marcel Hen. ninger of Geneva, President of the United States Amateur Hockey As. sociation team would meet Switzer land today as originally scheduled. after the International Olympic Committee voted, 16 to 10, to bar United States Olympic Committee both the A.H.A, team and the rival | squad from hockey competition and "| the-8Wlss refused to accept the ru- . | ling. Representatives of the wrang- ling factions conferred until early this morning but apparently reached no settlement, The Canadian Ski squad also ran into last.minute difficulties. Sqdn. Ldr. Sandy Watson, Doctor of the R.CAF. Olympic hockey team, an- nounced that Montreal's Rhoda Wurtele and Three Rivers, Que., re- presentative Lucien Laferte, would not compete in the games due to injuries. Laferte suffered a broken ankle bone in practice Jan. 11 while Rhoda is suffering from a fracture of the lower part of the fibula. © Other members of the squad, with the exception of Plerre Jalbert of Quebec, in hospital with a broken leg, were reported "all set and ready to go." Back of the US. hockey front Raymond Gafner of Lausanne, President of the Swiss Ice Hockey Association, declared: "Let the in- ternational committee go home. In fact, I think they are on the way out. We have got the Olympic med. | als in our pockets and we intend to pin them on the people who win." Dr. Fritz Kraatz of Switzerland, President of the International Hoc key Federation, announced earlier that hockey would be on the pro- || gram 'despite all conflicting re. ports." He added the AHA. team would represent the United States. Avery Brundage, President of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said: "The AHA. team may play but it will not be an Olympic game." Brundage has stoutly opposed re- cognition of the A.-H.A. team as the official U.S. representative, conten- ding the organization is "commer- clally tainted." : One thing seemed clear., The Olympics were to go ahead on sche. dule, but there was speculation that hockey might be played without of. ficial Olympic recognition.
