Junlor "B" squad racked up the only win of the night for an Oshawa team, when Peter-. boro supplied the opposition last night, and the score in that game wes 23-20. At the end of the first quarter, the teams were tied at 4.4, but the P.C.V.I. squad looked stronger and proved it by potting some hot shots in the second quarter to lead 9-6 at the end of the half. This was not the way it ended though for Simpkin, McTavish, Hulclo, Phillips and Coggins all ripped through the Petes defence, and brought the total up to 20-20. There was only one minute to play and the score was still tied, Bryan Coggins rolled around to his right forward spot looked and shot, and Oshawa led 22.20. He was fouled a moment later, and when he sunk it the score read 23-20 for Oshawa.

Senior "B" squad playing their best defensive brand of ball this season held Peterboro to a 23-13 count in the second meeting of these two teams. With the score 15.4 at the end of the half things did not look as bright as they did up in Peterboro last week, but the line of Souch, Chant and Salmon put on a great finishing drive in the last quarter to score enough points to bring the boys within 10 of winning. The high scorers for Oshawa were right for. ward Ed. Salmon with six; for Pe- terboro, left forward Payne was the hotshot of the night with eight points.

Total Points--13, One Basket Apart Oshawa Junior "A" lost a very close one to the Peterboro squad, and it was the best played and most exciting game of the night. Final pount in the scorebook: was 20,27 for the visitors. The game tightened up consider- ly after the half time score of -14 with the locals edging up on e visitors till but one basket sep. the teams. Petes started to rag e ball, but the combination of Walter Auld and Nick Mroczek soon busted that up and really had the fans on the edge of their seats till full time when the Petes still led by one basket 29-27. PETTRBORO: Northcott, 5; Ser- geant; Thompson, 11; Griffin, 6; Grafsteln, 8; and Dinsdale, 1. Total Points--29.

Senior "A" squad lost their first game this year, and in doing so lost by enough points to lose the round to Peterboro. The final count was 85-24 in the game, and on the round k gave Peterboro an eight point win, - Petes got lots of free throws, and sunk a goodly percentage. These along with their neat long shots paid off with an 15-8 score at half. Ashawa were headed by at least ten points for the rest of the night, and the game just stayed that way with Petes sinking enough to keep Hep lead and ending with it at Crawford and Buchanan led losers, While Lee, McKee, and he Dibbon were really hot for Peter- boro.

Toronto, Feb. 14--(CP)--All the |] uc way from St. Moritz to Oftawa, the Boucher boys are in hockey these days but that isn't anything new. The family from Ottawa's New Edinburgh District has been in the ice game these many years and usually at the top. Mike (Kingston Whig.Standard) Rodden points this out and follows up with some interesting back- ground on the clan with the French name and the Irish-French back- | cd Ry ground. " ,... Basking in the sunlight and worthy of same, the Boucher Triumvirate fo Ottawa may be the reigning masterminds of hockey . .. never before has anything like this family compact dominance been so pronounced and perhaps we wily never see its like again, ,."" "Franch Boucher Jr. has already attained his objective of guiding the R.C.A.F. Flyers to the Olympic games championship, a feat that most alleged hockey experts imagined impossible. . . . " "His father, George Boucher, who was at the R.C.AF. coaching helm until shortly before the team went Overseas, has his Senators (Otta- wa) travelling at such a fast clip that they are installed as favorites to capture the Allan Cup..." "The third of the 'Boucher Band' is Frank of New York Rangers fame and & very doughty leader without doubt. Ere the National Hockey League racé began Frank caused a mild sensation when he predicted that the Montreal Cana. diens would not be among those present in playeff time... .." "The Bouchers it would appear "are on the march" ag well as being on the threshold ef lasting fame. Frank Jr. has nailed down a title. George will likely flolow suit and while Frank Sr. may not grasp that Stanley Cup, who is there to prove that he will fail?" "The late Tom Boucher, father of George and Frank Sr., was one of | the great football players nineties and early 1900's. George, following in his father's footsteps, was one of the mighty backfielders of the Big Four (football) before he became a professional hcokey play- er at the tender age of 17. Frank Boucher Sr. followed the hockey trail only and so has Frank Bou- cher Jr." Added tribute to the Boucher clan came from Clayton (St. Cath- arines Standard) Browne who said, "In the higher reaches of the N.HL. ranks, what stymies this desk is the surprising fact that every single nad doggone new rule, or painted line, in proposal, comes from Coach Frank Boucher of New York Rangers." of the |Bu r 4 led fleld with 517 double.

Top Row In Welter Division By JACK HAND New York, Feb. 14--(AP)--Kid Gavilan, the prancing bolo puncher '| from Havana, has moved into the "| front row of weltweight contenders. But instead of Ray Robinson he'll probably get lightweight king Ike Williams, Feb. 27. Rated the best boxer to come out of Cuba since the days of Kid Chocolate, the new "kid" rapidily is developing into -a top-flight draw- ing card. Although his 10-round decisive win over Vinnie Rossano of Brooklyn was only the semi_final last night, it over-shadowed the Madison Square Garden main bout between Bernard Docusen and Gene Burton. Docusen and Burton, rated se- cond and third behind Sugar Ray Robinson, the 14W™pound champ, failed to impress the 15047 custo- mers who paid $59,422 . Docusen stabbed shut the left eye of Bur. ton, a New York Negro battler, but he was a little too fancy for the fans. After watching the flashy Gavi- lan hit Rossano almost at will, the paying guests couldn't warm up to Docusen, the New Orleans dandy. Docusen showed lightning speed with his hands but did not appear to pack any wallop. Once he clos ed Burton's eye in the seventh he put on a dazzling boxing display. But when he jumped a foot off the floor to throw polished lefts, the fans booed. They don't like them too fancy. Next on the program for Gavilan may be a mon-title scrap with Ike Wiiliams, the lightweight champ. Matchmaker Chickie Bogad of the 20th Century Sporting Club will talk it over with Williams today. There are reports that Ike doesn't want to fight anybody for a time %s a Gavilan-Docusen pairing may result, Sports Roundup New York, Feb. 14 -- (AP) -- In what promises to be one of the outstanding social events of the sea.. son for "The Mob," the Police Ga- zette will award a "world heavy- weight championship belt" to Jer- sey Joe Walcott in a public presen. tation ceremony at Camden, N. J, Feb 26... The catch is that pub. lisher H. H. Roswell can't come up with one of the old belts that the publication used to award to cham- pions. . . They invariably found their way into some hock shop. That's where Roswell has been searching for one to give Jersey Joe. , . Another New Jersey resi. dent, Jersey Jones, recently wrote a piece for the Ring Magazine marking the anniversary of the famous St. Patrick's day fight in Dublin between Battling Siki and trouble winning, you remember. . .
