This is the laddie-buck that can "make" If Pogue leaves his quick temper and silly flare-ups home and turns in the kind of two-way hockey he can display, Generals will be mighty tough to beat. We've got three lines, three good lines and the best goalie in the league. Our defence is especially the way Frank Sullivan and' Ray Oleksuik have rounded into form in the past three weeks. If Generals can win one of these first two games in Windsor, they'll be in a fine position. game on Windsor ice (and every game at home) if they hope to win this series and the quicker they bring a win out of Windsor, the better. The team has got lots of fighting spirit and they have the will-to.win. They know what it means to win an Ontario hockey championship and that's what they're after. All Oshawa is pulling for them to win. Let's Go Generals, | PORT js : » HHL FrEgEE § : LJ Ru J While the Generals are waging their first playoff game in Wi r en Saturday night, the Oshawa Junior "B"" team will be playing itby Red Wings here at the Oshawa Arena, in the first game of the group semi-finals. Danforth Byers ran into a snag on Wednesday night, losing 8.6 to Peterboro IO.OF. The second game is back in Omeemee tonight and it looks as if the Liftlock City "kids" could be the dark-horse in this Junior "B" group. Tomorrow night's game here will be a sizzler. They'll be announcing the scores from Windsor too--for the benefit of the fans who want to see one game and know about the other. Coach Reg. Mills snd Mgr. Vic Burr are mighty sweet on their Junior "B" boys. It's almost entirely a homebrew team, graduates from the Oshawa "City League." There are a couple of Bowmanville boys also performing with the team. Whitby's team is also a "homebrew" club, with a couple of Oshawa boys playing for the County Town who are also "City League" graduates. It promises to be a lively series with plenty of the old-time rivalry. Whitby fans will be on hand Saturday night in large numbers and theyll have the biggest Junior "B" crowd of the season, without & doubt, * * * The "City League" playoffs got under way last night (and yester- day afternoon) at the Oshawa Arena, with a resounding bang. The "bang" was created as six teams fell "ker-plunk" on their sterns with a thud that jarred them right out of the running for the 1947.48 honors. In the Bantam series, Kiwanis whipped Coca Colas 4-2 and in the second game, Rotary defeated and eliminated Kinsmen , 6-2. Kiwanians and Rotary get at each other next Thursday. In the Midget playoffs, Victors nosed out.Hayden Macdonalds 2.1 in a keenly-fought contest and in the other playoff sudden-deaths, Can. ada Bread blanked Kinloch 3.0. In the Juvenile ranks, Oshawa Dairy ousted Beaton's Dairy in the "Milkmen's Battle," 5-0 while Eveleigh Cleaners nosed out McLaughlin Coal 2-1 in the best game of the night. This clears the decks for the finals, with the O.M.H.A. playdowns looming closer. ' * * * Big hockey game last night--in fagt there only was one big game, was the 3.1 victory for Canadiens down In Montreal, over the Toronto Leafs. It begins to look as if at this stage--and perhaps barely in time, Les Canadiens have "just begun to fight." They now trail the 4th-place Boston Bruins by only 5 points, counting last night's victory and with Boston Bruins in Montreal] on Saturday night and then Canadiens back in Detroit on Sunday--anything could happen this week-end. Boston's Sunday game is in New York and it could be that Boston Bruins could win one of these two games and move into a tie with New York for 3rd place. If they lose both and Canadiens win both, then Montreal would be within one point of Boston. Leafs missed their. chance to overtake Detroit last night. The game was a rough-house affair too, apparently with "Butch" Bouchard back in his burly best form and he fought with Exiniski. Even Turk Broda drew a penalty, Yipe!

All games in this best-of-three series will be played at Owen Sound, by request of the Pats, who say they can draw a better gate there. Comes The Semi's 'When these three series have been played out, the "B" and "C" series winners will tangle in series "D" for the privilege of meeting the win. ners of series "A" for the cham. pionship, classed as Series "E'. The Hamilton Tigers.Toronto Marlboros affair will definitely be a closely watched series," The two clubs have been closer than Siam. ese twins all season, with first the youthful Marlboros leading the League and then "The Old Men of The Mountain" taking over. At the season end, Tigers had a nine.point This can be attributed partly to the Mar- lies trying to struggle along with only 11 men on the roster. Joe Pri. meau's lads learned a bit too late that in event of injuries, this was too few. Two Juniors Step Up To help them in the playoffs, two Juniors--Ray Timgren and Bobby Hassard--and possibly another de. fenceman, will be used. Strangely enough, Timgren and Hassard play. e better hockey with the Senior club than when they skated for the Junior Dukes. Individual efforts by players on the two squads were also very close. A see-saw battle for the individual scoring crown between Clare Shil. lington of the Tigers and Johnny MeCormack of Marlies, wasn't de. cided until the final game, when McCormack managed to edge Shil. lingfon by one point.

Waterloo and Stratford Indians per. haps will be the most interesting of the three. No love has been lost be. tween the two clubs all season and both teams have a squad of scrappy players. The winner of the series is anybody's guess as final team standing was only two points apart. Stratford ended the season in third spot with 43 points, and the Dutchmen closed out at 41 points, The majority of fans around the circuit have picked Owen Sound Mercurys over Hamilton Pats--but not too definitely. The final stand. ing had much to do with the choice as the Mercurys with 38 points fin. ished a'full 20 points ahead of the Pats with 18.
