PAGE SIXTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1948 Y Bob Rife PORT | | Toronto, Nov. 20 --' (CP) -- To- ronto battened down its storm hatches today and waited for things to start happening. And just about anything could WHAPSHOTS We didn't make any predictions about that game in Barrie, and it's certainly lucky we didn't. The Generals evidently weren't -up to snuff when they ran into the Flyers. Of course everyone knows that to beat that club on their home grounds is one of the toughest jobs encountered in the Junior "A" circuit this year. What will happen back here this Saturday night is another question for the Generals have yet to lose their first home game. Windsor Spitfires loom as the biggest threat in the loop, crowding the St. Catharines Tee Pees in first place after drubbing the Indians by the score of 7-2 last night, and having lost put one game this season, to the same Tee Pees. . * * * Up in the city of Guelph last night, the Memorial Arena was officially opened and the fans had plenty to cheer about when the third overtime game of the young season was won by the Biltmores 2-1 over the ailing Toronto Marlboros. Stratford defeated the Galt Rockets in thé only other game , . . News from Peterboro ays that Billy Dadson, the young Bowmanville athlete, prominent in b ketball at the OCVI last season, and an llent baseball pitcher, will line-up with one of the baskeiball clubs in the Liftlock City . . . Is it possible that Bowmanville is going to lose a red-hot loop artist like "Daddy." This could mean that Bowmanville won't be entering a team this year, and could also mean a place for the OCVI Grads to play. * + *» If you have never entered a curling rink, you will not understand that nickname given to curling, "The Roarin' Game." There really is a roar to the game, and it is definitely not meant to be the one heard fiom some disgruntled curler who missed his shot by the proverbial | country, mile. No, this roar is caused by the "stane" gliding over the jee. It is a weird sound and somehow adds to the fun of the game. Another sound, and bit of action that adds to the color of the bonspiels is the swish, swish of the players using their long brooms to make the path of the stane free and easy. To see those boys wield a broom must be a joy to their wives, and no doubt some of them have had good workouts after they have been seen in action! * * * The Legion held its annual presentation of prizes last night and many were the happy receivers of the gleaming silverware. Every- thing from softball to darts came in for its share of the limelight, and the Mayor also had a kind word to say for the wonderful support the Legion has given to amateur athletics of all types in the city. These service clubs have done a great deal towards furthering sport in every form everywhere in Canada. * + * BPORTS SHORTS----Amazing facts dept. Windsor Spitfires and Barrie Flyers, two of the top clubs last season, went through most of the season with very few injuries. This time things are different. The clubs have both been hit hard in recent games, and the slowing down of the ¢lubs which will no doubt result, may have a decided effect on the final standings. ... Stan Rooke, a former Oshawa junior, then Washington Lion in the American Loop, has since played a steady game at the left- wing post for the R C.AF. Flyers. This club is now playing in the East- ern Canada Senior Hockey League. ... O.C.V.I. Sports pot is starting to perk again. The Phratry teams will soon be whirling through the mad- ness that is the Volleyball schedule. The gals are already trying their skill at badminton, and it won't be long, so says the little man with his | ear to the keyhole, that the boys are doing the same. ...Golden-toed Annis Stukus of Toronto Argonauts quit football three years ago today. The hefty backfielder, now a Toronto sports writer, starred in organized | rugby for 20 years. An outstanding placement kicker, he started and ended his senior career with Argos but also played for Toronfo Indians and Balmy Beach. / * $e SCISSORED SPORT-- (By The Canadian Press) --Leo Durocher, who | now manages New York Giants, is going to have to explain to Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandler how he signed Freddie Fitzsimmons as coach. A source close to the commission, who suspended Durocher for the 1947 season on the grounds that his conduct was detrimental to baseball, said Friday at Cincinnati, Chandler wants to know why Fitz- | simmons' appointment as a coach was announced when he still was | under contract to Boston Braves. Durocher, Fitzsimmons, and officials | of the Giants will be invited to tell the story to Chandler at-the meeting | of baseball heads in Chicago next month. As far as the commissioner's | official announcements are concerned, they still do not have Fitzsimmons | happen in the struggle between University of Toronto and Univer- sity of Western Ontario for the In- tercollegiate grid championship. Battle Rages, The battle has been raging all week long between rival student VARSITY--WESTERN BATTLE bodies. That battle will keep on during the game and possibly at- tract almost as much attention as the two football clubs. A -heavy rain soaked Varsity Sta- dium during the night, The game has been a complete sell-out ever since it became certain last Saturday that there would be a playoff for the title Western has won annually since 1939 and Var- sity hasn't won since 1936. GOES TODAY FOR SR. INTERCOLL. TITLE Loud Send-Off Johnny Metras' Mustangs got a loud and long sendoff, when they left Friday to avenge Varsity's 23- 8 upset victory of last week. A huge crowd saw the Mustangs off at the station and heard Mayor George Wenige of London urge the Mus- tangs to bring the title back with them. Both student bodies have been holding monster.rallies all week to build up spirit for the clash--West- ern with a "Trample Toronto" cam- paign and Varsity repying with its traditional shout of "Beat Western." Only Club Loss The Blues have been the only club in the rah-rah conference to mar the record of Metras' mightly Mustangs since 1939. ast year they tied them, this year they beal them, the first defeat for Western in 28 games, Injury Jinx The injury-dogged Mustangs will still have six stars sidelined. But the muddy field might prove a help ¢ tq the powerful line that* copped five positions on the Canadian Press Intercollegiate All-Star team. Biggest loss will be halfback Bob McFarlane who led the league in scoring last year. Varsity will be without all-star midde Ian Clark, the kingpin of the Blue line.
