PACE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-CAZETTE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1948 BY Geo. &. Campbell NAPSHOTS They'll still have their troubles finishing in first place--they've got to win all their remaining games, including one in 'Barrie this Friday night and one in Windsor at the end of the schedule, and besides. that somebody else will have to hand Windsor Spitfires another defeat-- nevertheless the Oshawa Generals issued a stern warning on Saturday night that regardless of whether they finish in 1st or 2nd position in the current O.H.A. Junior "A" race, theyll be a force with which to be reckoned when the playoffs get under way. That clean-cut 7-3 victory over the Spitfires was quite something and the sterling display of the entire Oshawa team sent a packed rink home tickled. Eric Pogue finally scored his first goal of the season on home ice--and it was a "gem." A beautiful piece of stick-handling and determined attgcking skill topped off with a cool finish at the firing line. That goal won the game--for Pogue was possessed from that moment 'on and literally headed the Generals to victory. That line of Scott-Pogue-LaFrance was again the spearhead of the Oshawa attack and Windsor Spits couldn't stop 'em. % * LJ Not only did "Pogey" get his goal but his unselfish play-making and clever passing raised his stock with the fans. We think we've "plasted" the speedy winger as hard or harder than anybody at times for we have no use for some of those displays he used to stage but when we also stuck up for him a few times, we were accused of being "a cousin" Now the fans arc almost all convinced that if he keeps his head, stays on the ice and plays the type of hockey he's been showing the past few weeks, he can be the spark that will lead the Generals to an O.H.A, title. This line is bubbling with team. spirit right now and that's why they are clicking. They've taken the limelight away from the Scholes-Blair-Gamble trio and this means they have a better chance mow to get going again. The Generals outskated Windsor all the way and with their third win in three games with the Spitfires, indicated clearly that Oshawa has a good chance to take it all. > * L J That Marlboro senior-junior combine business came up just as we hinted. Hassard and Timgren played for the Marlies in the Senior loop again and we're not sure, but we think that's their final game. One more puts them in Senior ranks for the rest of the season. Galt Rockets had a narrow squeak but they managed to nip Marlboros Jrs. on Saturday afternoon and so move into 4th place. In the other game, St. Catharines Teepees made good on their big chance by nosing out St. Mike's 2-1 and that puts the Teepees in 6th place, as the teams enter "the home stretch." The other Saturday game was the upset of the day however, with Guelph Rockets whipping Barrie Flyers 9-5. It was Barrie's worst defeat of the season--and could rhean that the trip to Northern Ontario didn't do the Flyers any good, in fact, they may have gone into a slump ~--at a very bad time for them. Stratford Kroehlers are in 5th place again but only two points behind Barrie and only one point behind Galt. On Tuesday, Galt and Guelph play in Galt and a lose for Guelph wipes out their last chance of overtaking St. Catharines. Meanwhile, the Generals are setting their sights for this week-end when they can "do it" or miss out. They go to Barrie on Friday night and the burly Flyers come here on Saturday. * " * FUTURE GAMES--No action tonight is the rule in the Junior "A", but in the Junior "B" loop, Oshawa plays at Byers Motors, at the Arena, and the meeting at home between, the two home teams, even though one comes from Toronto, should be quite a tussle . ...

The men will stage the difficult compulsory figures with the more crowd-pleasing free skating events not scheduled until Wednesday Dick Button of Englewood, N.J., recent winner of the men's Euro- pean figure skating championship at Prague, is the United States' chief ihreat with = Wally \Distel~ meyer of Toronto, providing the Canadian competition. Judge's Two Events The women's compulsory figures, originally scheduled for today, were postponed until Tuesday. It was understood that Canada, with only one judge here in Melvilld Rogers of Ottawa, complained to the International Skating Union that the dorftinion could not be rep- resented by a judge in both events if held on the same day. Rogers will be the Canadian, judge for both the men's and wom~ en's singles and for the pairs under the revised schedule announced by H. J. Clarke, President of the U.S.U. last night. In the women's division, beauti- ful Barbara Ann Scott of Ottawa, world and European titlist, is a prime favorite. Marilyn Ruth Take and Suzanne Morrow, both from Toronto, also will compete. Hockey Continues Other events today are the down- hill skiing for both men and wom- en, 1,500-metre (metric mile) speed skaters and three non-Olympic hockey games, Frank Stack and Gordon Aud- ley of Winnipeg and Ab Hardy of Edmonton will carry Canada's col- ors in the speed skating.

Wins Recognized George Dudley, secretary-man- ager of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, said in an in- terview that the country that wins the hockey tournament probably will be "recognized by the world Olympic champions despite what the International Olympic Com- mittee says." Observers who have followed the four-month controversy which raged 'around participation of an Amateur Hockey Association team interpreted the I.0.C.'s decision-- to ban hockey from the Olympics --as a personal victory for Avery Brundage, president of the United States Olympic Committee. On the other fronts, meanwhile, Reidar Liaklev of Norway,--the Scandinavian countries have domi- nated most events to date--won the 5,000-metre speed skating cham- pionship to move his country into unofficial second place behind Sweden with 80% points. Sweden had 32 and third-place Finland 21. Canada is 10th with one quarter of a point. In the event, Craig MacKay of Saskatoon placed 14th, best show- ing by a North American, in 8:47.2. Liaklev's time was 8:29.4. The lone American triumph was scored in the hockey games. The Amateur Hockey Association squad snowed under Italy's sextet, 31-1 to record its second victory in three starts. " GENERALS DO IT AGAIN TO SPITFIRES Ex-Champion On Comeback Trail Oshawa Pucksters Outpass and Outscore Windsor Spitfires In Season's Fastest Junior Tussle & *- Locals Take Spitfires for Third Time in as Many Tries, to at Least Cinch Second Place -- Wind- sor Can Still Overtake Generals, Having Play- ed Two Less Games -- "Pogey" Gets His Goal By BOB RIFE Oshawa Generals moved up into first place in the Junior "A" race, and also mbved into the hearts of some of the fans who like to, see good hockey, when they whipped the Windsor Spitfires' 'Saturday night at the Arena by the score of 7-3. It was a packed house, and they loved every minute of play, from Sandy Air's first goal, through Eric Pogue's great stick handling. dis-. play, to the time near the end when the tempers of the Windsor crew got a little hot and the checks a little heavier. Oshawa were hot, we have to ad- mit that. Yet they have been hot for the last two weeks, and seem likely to stay that way right through till the coming play-offs. Maybe it will last into and through those games too, We like to think it will. Spits Try Hard Windsor tried hard, but the smal- ler and faster locals had it all over them in the forward department, and our defence pairs although up against big boys made them toe the line and gave Piquette a load of protection. . ~The fans from the'opening face- off were really from Ross Lowe and Dusty Blair and blazed the rubber home through a scramble in front of the Galt Windsor net, 'that they finally cool- ed off a bit. This cooling off didn't last long for the Spits looked dangerous all the time, and had the Oshawa de- fence doing handsprings to keep the puck in the neutral area. Eric Pogue finally came through with his goal on home ice, and wha! a goal. The young winger showed more finesse on that effort than the whole Windsor team all night. He grabbed the puck in front of his own net, burned up the centre ice lane, and approached two burly Windsor defencemen at breakneck speed. They started to move to- gether for the squeeze, but Pogue pushed the puck through, leaped be- tween the huskies and tore in on Walmsley, He Shoots! He Scores! That goalie just didn't see the puck or Pogue, both were travelling 80 fast, and Oshawa was leading 2- 0, when the net bulged, and the red light flashed on. Windsor were slow in coming io life, but when they did, it was with a sort of carelessness that belied the play that led to their only counter of the period. Busch made it from Hay and McKay when they sneak- checked an Oshawa defender close in and whistled the puck behind the startled Piquette. The second period was all Osh- awa, with the Generals putting on the pressure right through. Chuck Blair got the first chance, only to have Ivan Walmsley in the Spits net come up with a neat save. Pogue set up Gerry Scott with a short hot pass a few minutes later, and the big Winnipeg boy saw the open net and whipped in the rubber. Sullivan backhanded the puck in- to the net after a spectacular rush up the ice, but after much argu- ment it was decided, not to the en- joyment of the strictly partisan fans that someone was standing in the i and the goal was not allow- ed, Power Play Pays Another power play right from the face-off brought back the smiles though, as Oleksuik shot the puck into the corner, where Scholes pas. sed it out to Gamble, and he flick- ed It into the twine. That made it 4-1 for Oshawa, and the raw edges of the boys' tem- pers were starting to burn, as the pace they were setting was terrific. Pogue went through the whole team on a rush similar to the one which he made in the first period, and had the whole arena breath. less, when he repeated his.defence splitting maneouver.-A tiny miscal- culation of speed at the last minute made the puck.scrape the goal- post by inches, and saved Windsor from annther tally. Play was slower but harder In the beginning of the third frame, and when Ross Lowe finally got Pronovost with a booming body in- to the boards, it was the climax of a lot of small dirty play, Jim Uniac got an easy goal for Windsor at the five minute mark when' he 'found the 'Oshawa fore. checking had 'stopped and the de- | tensed, ' and {it {Marlports wasn't till Sandy Air took passes | Guelph: 3 The Summary | THE SUMMARY 1st Period 1--Oshawa, Air (Lowe, D.

AL. PARKHILL'S RINK CAPTURES ONE-DAY SPIEL In an interesting one-day, three game bonspiel, staged for the mem- bers of the Oshawa Curling Club on Saturday, Al. Parkhill's rink, con- sisting of J. Walsh, Jim Stuart and Maurice Kirkland and "AJ." as skip, took down top honors with three wins and a plus total of 15, "Parky" won his first game in handy fash and whipped Paul Michael's fotsome badly in the 3rd game but in the middle canta it was the closest game of the season. Parkhill and Gifford were tied com. ing home on the last end and the winning shot had to be measured. Parkhill's black-handled stone got the decision, believe it or not, by the width of a piece of paper, to nose out Gifford's whitehandle, for the shot, and game, Charlie Peacock's rink won the plus total of only 6. All his games were close and his final game was the closest, when Peacock and his rink beat out Alex Hall's rink on the final end, with twp shots, to take the game by a 1-shot margin. | Fred Harris, Frank Godden and | Ex-lightweight Champion Beau Jack of Atlanta, Georgia, drops opponent Johnny Bratton of Chicago: during their bout at the Chicago stadium. | Cameron Burton were, the other | Jack won on a TKO in the ~ighth round when Bratton quit, complaining members of Peacock's winning! quartette, Alex.

The final set of awards went to Ed.

Scuffles Commence Pogue and Louis Paulotto got into a small tiff and were given minors, and before they got back on, Olek. suik and McKay were swinging away at each other. This resulted in two more minors. : After that Windsor tried to rough it in everyway, but the Generals just skated around them and gave Dem a Bronx cheer for their trou- e. . Gamble got a softy when Quack- enbush deflected a shot into his own net, but Scott from Pogue and La. France made up for it with another nifty play that ended with the rub- ber behind Walmsley. This must have annoyed that goa- lie for he was caught slashing at LaFrance; and given a minor which Cam. Church had to serve. Sandy Air got the puck during the Oshawa power play that resuls- ed with Spitfires one man short, and passed 'it back to the blueline, where Ward Brandow lofted the puck on a long one right into the open net. That made it 7-2, and the locals re- laxed. Mayhap they relaxed a litfle too soon for Eddie Busch wormed and wiggled till he got a shot at Pi- quetle. He Qeked that worthy aside and scored very cleanly with only 16 seconds to go in the final frame. That made the final count 7-3, and Oshawa had cinched at least second place in the final standing, and taken over first place right now.
