THE DAILY TIMES.-GAZETTE BY | Geo. H. | Campbell | @PORT WJ NAPSHOTS They opened the NHL season last night at Detroit and they had the smallest "opening night" crowd in many years. Could "it be that the fans aren't going to get warmed up to hockey in early October-- even if the NHL moguls want to extend their season to more than half the calendar year. Red Wings won their game last night over the Black Hawks, 3-1, with Gus Bodnar getting the lone tally for Chicago. Tomorrow night, the Junior OHA gets underway and things will be interesting on all fronts. Stratford has a powerhouse, if they can get their players, that is the players they want and have some claim on, at the present time. We like the looks of the Windsor team, at this distance, while the Barrie Flyers, OHA champions will be certainly one of the teams to beat. We know that Syl Apps will have a powerful Marlboro team also, | + * + Bob Lingley and Jack Leckie of North Bay are two of the Barrie defense stalwarts and already Bingley is indicating that he'll be in the "bad man" class this season as a rugged rearguard performer. Jack Sheeden from Kirkland Lake and Ab Plouffs are two others trying out, while up front Barrie has Gary Gordon from the To- ronto Corners Boys' team, rated ome of the best in Junior "B" ranks last season. Gordie Brown of the Inkerman Rockets~tEastern Ottawa Valley district last le of ) is another highly rated forward, along with Gordon Pennell, a centre-ice star from Winnipeg and Richard Nadeau of Kapuskasing. Ernie Keefe is another who is making a big impression there while Bobby Hogg of Timmins, Enso Zanatta of Sauly Ste, Marie and Ray Robitaille from Midland, are others rated highly in the Barrie camp. * * +* JUNIOR JOTTINGS: Up in Stratford, "Chick" Appel is just about having a fit these days. George Armstrong wants to play in Stratford and Stratford wants him and Lewicki but Port Arthur wants to keep Lewicki while Toronto Leafs insist Armstrong play with Marlboros . . . Remembering Cerisino, we'd say Armstrong will likely play with Marl- boros too--or. else . . . Guelph hockey fans are keyed up about their splendid new arena, folding seats, largé ice surface, everything the best. Still, it'll not be the same unless Roy Mason is scurrying around chasing tickets or a tardy player . . . Remember Telford who almost came to Oshawa or Galt and ended up with Boston Olympics--well, it's reported he's with St. Catharines Tee Pees this season . .. St. Kitts lost Toppazzini, who signed a pro contract last week-end with the Bruins set-up. So did Ross Lowe, of the Oshawa Generals and local fans are pulling for him to make good with Hershey Bears . . . With that man Marcel Pronovost, the Wilson brothers, the Geisebrecht brothers, Jim Hay and the rest, Windsor Spitfires look like the team to beat this year and they have Dennis Mooney of St. Mike's Buzzers, as their goalie prospect . , . Joe LaFrance of the Generals, signed with Cleve- land Barons. LJ * * Oshawa Generals open their OHA schedule tomorrow night up in Barrie, The Flyers whipped St. Mike's last night in an exhibition game. The club executive, manager, etc. is running the team just now, with Coach "Hap" Emms sick in bed. He collapsed after a gruelling session in Montreal, picking and signing players for Buffalo, Dallas, etc. Barrie had 76 players trying out for their team this season--the current OHA champions always have an extra appeal for the youthful aspirants throughout the province and as late as last night, they still had a squad of 30, with almost half of them yet to be weeded out. Bill Howie of Oshawa has been making a great bid for the goaltending chore at Barrie but Gil Mayer of last year's team looks like the No. 1 choice. The Flyers will be tough to beat in the home stretch this year. Their holdovers in- clude Paul Meger, a sensational left-winger, Sid McNabney, George Ford. Stan Long, defenceman with Barrie last year, dislocated that bum shoulder of his again and he's out of action for a while. Ward Brandow, with the Generals on loan last winter, is also ex- pected to cop a defence spot with the Flyers. 4 J * SIGNS OF THE SEASON: A party of 50 curlers from the Royal Caledonia Club of Scotland will sail from Greenock, Scotland, on De- cember 23, to tour Canada and the northern United States, competing in exhibition curling matches. They'll be in Toronto and may show in Oshawa, who knows? LJ LJ * CHAMPS COMING:, When the Ontario County Flying Club holds their "at home" tomorrow (Friday) evening, Howard Birch, Ontario singles table-tennis (ping-pong) champion will put on an exhibition performance with Dave Fallensbi, member of the Ontario doubles championship pair, as his opponent. With Jack Purcell to give the badminton exhibition, the event looms as a real attraction for the indoor sport fans and "netters" especially. ' 2 »* SPORTS SHORTS--Speaking on the lines of Cossa championships, Albert College of Belleville have lined up a very big and fast looking aggregation for the senior entry. One of the backfield players is Keith Buchanan, rugby and basketball star here at the OCVI last year. "Bucky" must be playing his usual great game, for he is 'given a neat piece in the Belleville paper . . . We wonder what happened to the following players, who were supposed to turn out with the Junior Red sudders? Their names, Jack Luke, Bunny Maeson, Willie Maeson, Wimp Crawrord and Ray Mozewsky. Could it be that they are afraid of being beaten . . . Windsor Spitfires came out on the short end of a 6-5 count the other night at Windsor when they fought a close and wild- swinging battle with the Kansas City club. Fisticuffs were just one of the minor incidents of the game . , , The immorial Galloping Ghosts of American football, Harold (Red) Grange married an air line stewardess, Miss Margaret Hazelburg seven years ago today. Grange starred on the Illinois teams of 1923-24-25.

Manager Bill Veeck of the world champion Cleveland Indians, admits there'll not be many changes but points cut there must be a few changes. The Indians are keeping their uniforms and jackets as World Series mementos . . . Frankie Eddolls, former Oshawa General now with New' York Rangers, will be out for six weeks, with a severed tendon in his knee. Buddy 'O'Connor has a broken rib. Edgar Laprade and Bill Moe were released from hos- pital Tuesday. The former had a broken nose but Moe had to have 24 stitches in two severe scalp cuts . . , Boston's Mayor James M.

Detroit won the game on goals by rearguards Jack Stewart and | Leonard (Red) Kelly and rookie | Max McNab, who also drew an as- | sist on Stewart's marker to lead | the peint-getters. Sugar Jim Henry, who came to | the Hawks in a trade this week with Rangers, made his debut in the Chicago nets and blocked 19 | of the first 20 shots fired at him | in the first two. periods. But he | couldn't withstand the Detroit pres- | sure in the final frame afd the | Wings banged home two counters | to put the. game on ice. After a scoreless first period, Jack Stewart hit the target on a relay | from McNab at the 40-second mark | of the middle session. Gus Bodnar got that one back for Chicago on a solo effort at 17:25. The Wings went ahead to stay at 3:30 of the final frame when Kelly streaked in from the boards, skirt- ed defenceman Ralph Nattrass and feinted Henry out of position to ram home what proved to be the wining goal. McNab then back- handed in a rebound off Gordon Howe's long shot for the clinching counter. Detroit's Jim McFadden, winner of the Calder Rookie Award last season, was presented-with the cup before the game by N.HL. Presi- dent Clarence Campbell. Rangers Not Worrying Coach Frank Boucher brought his Rangers into Montreal for to- night's game with Canadiens, con- fident that the blueshirts will give a good account of themselves de= spite the loss of four key players. For Boucher, who got Rangers into the playoffs last season after five straight years in the confines of the N.HL. basetient, the loss of star centres Buddy O'Connor and Edgar * Laprade and defenceman Frankie Eddolls and Bill Moe was | a severe blow to his plans for the campaign. All four were injured in an auto- mobile crackup last week. O'Connor and Eddolls are out for six weeks, while Laprade and Moe expect to be back in action in a week or so.
