Aor', ps PORT , NAPSHOTS BY Geo. H. Campbell | | | Oshawa Generals suffered a double loss on Saturday night, up at Windsor. They dropped a 9-5 decision to the Spitfires in a free-wheeling contest in which the two clubs opened up with the open brand of hockey and gave the rival goalies a mighty busy evening. Toughest blow for the Generals, however, wasn't the loss of the game and two points, but the loss of "Sonny" Hooper, Bowmanville boy, who has been making a fine showing with the team, at centre-ice, this season. Hooper suffered a shoulder or collar-bone injury which was X-rayed and diagnosed as a broken bone. The "plates" will arrive in Oshawa tomorrow, when "Sonny" will then be given the bone-sefting, treatment by the club physician. He'll likely be out of action for six weeks and he'll be missed. He and his mates were rounding into a formidable attacking trio and getting their share of goals, +* * * The Generals made a good showing against: the Spitfires. That 9-5 score indicates that at least they were doing some goal-scoring. The game was a lively affair, with the Windsor team all-out for the win in order to grab tight on that first-place. spot. While this was going on Marlboros were tying Stratford 2-2 for a point that Kroehlers wanted very badly and Barrie Flyers whipped Galt Rockets 7-2. Biggest Junior "A" news probably is the Galt-Barrie player trade. High-scoring Harold Hopper, left-winger for Galt, along with George Burcham, another of their good forwards, go to Barrie Flyers. and Rockets, in exchange, get a full line of fowards, Ford, Green and Keefe and defenseman Ken Schwartz, Ford has played some good hockey for Barrie this season but we haven't heard much from Green . or Keefe. Schwartz is a rugged defenseman but "Hap" Emms has six rearguards and had to cut down. -* * * Big news from the O.H.A. meeting Saturday was the okaying of the draft plan, in which a club can now draft a player by payment of $150.00. 'The smaller centres had their delegates on hand to vote for this one naturally enough, since it means remuneration for the players drafted by higher clubs, Junior "A" or Senior "A" but the catch was that in the same breath they also voted the other half of the deal, which states that a player who has signed a "C" Clause contract with a pro club, can only be drafted to a "farm club" of that pro club which holds the contract. This is a seyere blow to Oshawa--for the Generals, who have done much for hockey and the O.H.A. in the past 10 years, are now "up the creek". They are not sponsored by any N.H.L. team and the rule now means that any Oshawa boy, Junior "B" or Juvenile, who sighs a pro contract Clause "C", must go and play where told--while the Generals have no claim on him whatever. Everyone knows that the N.H.L. clubs have signed to "C" Clause contracts, almost every player in the country with any sort of promise--so wherewill Oshawa get material? It may be ironed out later but as it stands right now, it could be the end of Junior "A" hockey in Oshawa, at the end of this season. L 2 + * The hockey news of the week has a couple of extra bright spots for local fans. The Generals play in Guelph on Friday might and on Saturday, the Biltmores visit Oshawa. On Wednesday night, the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association will hold their "Official Opening" of the "City League" for the 1948-49 season, with six games scheduled as a feature attraction, along with a broom-ball game between the "City League" officers and local fire-fighters.

WE SKATING TONIGHT -- ' Children Urder 16 Years Not Admitted! By The Canadian Press Kenny Reardon's elbow might have something to do with Boston Bruins still being in front in the National Hockey League. The Montreal defenceman used his elbow illegally Sunday night, 'got a penalty and Bruins whipped in two quick goals to win 2-1 and keep thelr slim lead. It was a game that Bruins need- ed. Detroit had beaten them 3-2 Saturday, following it- up with a 3-1 win over New York Saturday, and finished the week-end two points back of Boston. Leafs' Shutout Chicago Black Hawks and Toron- to Maple Leafs split their two games and wound up still tied for fourth place. Chicago won 6-4 in Toronto Saturday and Turk Broda got his third shutout of the year in Chicago Sunday as Leafs beat Hawks 2-0. Rangers dropped their other week-end game 3-1 to Canadians, who now are a single point ahead | Eg of Chicago and Toronto! Canadiens seemed on their way to their first win over Boston this year when Reardon's penalty was called in the final minute of the second period. They had gone ahead on Elmer Lach's goal from Hal Laycoe early in the period. 35-Foot Drives Murray Henderson tied the score with a 35-foot drive from Pete Babando, Then Henderson Jed a five-man rush, fired a pass to Ed Sandford and Babando drilled home the rebound for the winning goal. Bruins lost to Detroit Saturday on Bud Polle's 35-foot drive in the third period. Goals by Bruin Pat an and Red Wing Gerry Couture left them tied at the end of the second with scores by Péte Horeck and Polle shoving Detroit shead. Knobby Warwick came ' back to score for Boston. Lund's Lifesaver Only Pentii Lund's goal with less than two minutes to play saved New York from a shutout against Detroit Sunday night. Red Wings LEAFS SPLIT WITH HAWKS, BUT BOSTON'S STILL ON TOP went ahead in the first on Marty Pavelich's goal from Ted Lindsay In the third Jack s for. Couture New York's Joss in Montreal Sat- urday. .brought Canadiens back to life after dropping two straight shutouts on home ice. Billy Reay got the winning ' goal for Dick Irvin's Habitants in the last period and added another one just before the final whistle. Up to Reay's goal it had been a 1-1 tie, with scores by Montreal's Rocket 'Richard in the second and New York's Edgar Laprade in the third. i Blow Early Leads Toronto twice blew two-goal leads as they dropped their Satur- day game to the fast-skating Hawks. Harry Watson and Bill Ez- inicki shot them well ahead in the opening period. They faltered and Gaye Stewart and Jim Conacher had tied the count by the end of the frame. Ezinicki and Vic Lynn put To- ronto ahead again but Doug Bent- ley, Adam Brown, Stewart and Roy Conacher all counted before the end of the period. They -were two different teams Sunday.

Setting a blazing fast pace, Spit- fires shot into a 3-1 lead in the first period, maintained the edge with the count 5-3 in the second, and connected for four in a row in the third before Oshawa struck for two in the late stages, both on breakaway efforts. Bert Giesebrecht, leading goal- getter in the league, sparked Spit- fires with two goals and two as- sists, while his brother Bruce pick- ed 'up one goal and one assist. Jim Hay sniped two. Other Windsor marksmen were Francis O'Grady, Bob Rawlyk, Gerry Lavergne and Larry Wilson. Defenseman Don Hall led Generals with two goals. Dick Gamble, Frank Sulllvan and Ted O'Connor pro- duced the others. . Generals' loss was costly, too, in that forward Frank Hooper suffer- ed a probably broken collarbone as a result of smashing into the boards in the first period.

Suspends Overage Junior For Five Years Montreal, Dec. 6--(CP)-- Marius Groleau, high-scoring Quebec Cita- dels forward, was suspended from crganized hockey for five years here Saturday when he admitted to of- ficials of the Quebec Amateur Hoc- key Association that he was over the 20-year ago limit for junior hoc- key. The Citadels also were ordered to forfeit 13 games in which Gorleau participated . Groleau, who led the QAHA. scoring parade until he was bench- ed last week by Citadel Manager Frank Byrne, appeared before As- sociation officials and admitted that he had submitted his dead brother's birth certificate instead of his own. He also tpld officials that he played last season while over age. He said that team officials were unaware that he had falsified his age. ; The suspended player, according to his own admission, reached his 21st birthday April 6, 1947. U.S.H.L. Puckmen Make With Ties United States Hockey League teams didn't get far during the week-end. Four of the six games ended in ties--three of them by identical 3-3 scores. Kansas City gained a 5-5 dead- lock with St. Paul Sunday night when the Pla-Mors' Ray Powell zipped the length of the rink and potted a goal unassisted with less than two minutes left. Dutch Del- monte had put the Saints in front, 5-4 by scoring two goals just seven seconds apart in the last period. Fort Worth defeated Tulsa 6-4 Sunday night, with Billy Warwick and Sammy Casanato each scoring two goals to pace the winners. Dallas trimmed Fort Worth Sat- urday, 7-2, on the brilliant four- goal performance of Jimmy Moore. The other Saturday gdmes were 3-3 ties--S8t.

The amendment inaugurating the system highlighted Saturday's stormy session. It permits Senior and Junior "A" teams to draft players from clubs of lower classi- fication--though only two from any one club--on Jayment of $150 a player to the club's executive. The wrangling occurred over a clause whioh allows a player on a form "C" option to a professional hockey club to be drafted only by an OHA, team sponsored by the pro outfit which holds the player's option, - Generals Object The Oshawa Generals delegate, Neil Hezzlewood, said his club, a Junior "A" team, was not profes- siohally-sponsored. He said his Generals "might as well fold up" if professional clubs "are given the protection of this clause." The meeting threw out the waiv- er rule which permitted a player to perform with a team other than his home-town within a 25-mile radius of his residence. The executive de- scribed the rule as "nothing but a headache." e delegates also ruled that next season a player's cer- icate must be registered by the O.H.A; and returned: to the club before he could participate in any game. A breach of the rule will Object to New System But O.H.A. Delegates Vote It In Other Clubs mean loss of the game by the erring team. Import restrictions were relaxed slightly. Instead of two imports, Junior "B" clubs will be able to sign four, and Junior "C" clubs, three, The convention also voted to recommend to the next meeting of the Canadian Amateur Hockey As- sociation that 25 instead of 18 play- ers be red by teams compet- ing in C.A.H.A. playoffs. Retiring President George Pan- ter of Gravenhurst, told delegates that the problem of the O.H.A, was "to maintain even competition through the small towns, assist larger centres to provide first-class hockey, regulate the rights of all clubs and so prevent unfair prac- tices and to give the player the right to advance in his chosen career." It Bays Here . . . Panter told the delegates repre- senting nearly all of the 100 O.H.A. member clubs that hockey had be- come a "Chosen business career" for gréat numbers of young men. And it was up to hockey to provide a sports entertainment "That will thrill the people and attract them in great numbers to every game played." Today, he said, strictly local tal- ent was not enough. "The people demand that we obtain talent com- mensurate with the new style and size of show we put on." Panter, President for the last three years, relinquished the post to incoming head J. J. "Tiny" Mc- Payden, of Galt, a 6 BARRIE FLYERS BLAST ROCKETS Galt, Dec. 5--(CP)--Barrie Flyers retained their grip on the top rung of the Ontario Hockey Association junior "A", ladder when they de- feated Galt Rockets, 7-2, Saturday night. It was Galt's 12th successive loss. It was a bruising hard-checking affair, especially in the last period when tempers flared and the pen- alty box was occupied most of the time with the Flyers the worst of- genders. In all, 13 penalties were handed out, nine to the visitors. The Flyers capitalized on the breaks. They led in the first period 2-0. The locals then came back strong in the second frame and scored twice to the visitors' one counter. Hap Emms' gang showed staying power and ran in four coun- ters in the final session. In addition to Mayor in the nets, Paul Meger with &wo, and Don Ash- bee, McArthur, Hogg, Bob Bingley and Stan Long with. singlétons, counted for the winners.

MARLIES HOLD KROEHLERS 2-2 Syl Apps put his Marlboros back in the two-forward line basis Sat- urday, and the OHA Junior "A" tail-enders put a crimp in Strat- ford's winning streak by holding the fast-travelling Kroehlers to a 2-2 deadlock. In the early half of the Gardens doubleheader, Corner Boys trimmed St. Michael's 4-2 in a Junior "B" group game. With high-priced Denny Lewicki making his first start of the sea- son for Stratford, the Leo Barbini« coached Kroehlers swept into a 2-0 lead in the first eight minutes of action. Denny Flanagan popped in 2 pass from Joe Beda at 3:48 and Pierre Cadieux converted a play with Lewicki at 8 minutes flat. The Dukes bucked up defensive- ly at that point and slowly whittled their way to a division of points. Bob Hassard took a pass frem Larry Regan for a second-period tally. Moe Galand, working with Hassard, drove home the equalizer two minutes and four seconds from the end of the game.

Canada Bread took over first place in 'the Midget series 'with their third straight win, downipg Victor's 4-3. The latter now occupy second place. The other Midget game say' Hayden MacDonald move into third place alone, trouncing Kinlceh's, the cellar-dwellers, 7-2, The Juvenile Eveleigh's Cleaners' entry notched .their third win, a 5-4 triumph over Oshawa Dairy, and so took over first place. The Milkmen now hold down second place. Beatan's Dairy managed a 6-3 win over McLaughlin Coal, and in s0 doing gained third place and pushed the Coalmen into the cellar. Bakers Were Hot Canada Bread bumped Victor's 04 | Midgets by the score of 4-3 and did so with a three goal rally in the second period, overcoming an early lead taken by the sports storemen. Kellar openéd the scoring from Barta to put Victor's one up. Ed- 05 | wards tied it with a solo effort a minute later. Rogers then made it 2-1 for Victors at the end of the frame. In the second period it was all Canada Bread. They put on the heat and reaped a neat harvest of cookies. Cook got the first one, approximately enqugh scoring from oodeock. Sutton flipped in Ed- wards' pass and .Edwards got his second goal of the night on an- other solo shot. Added together that made a score of 4-2. After the final scoreless period, it became the final score in the game.

The club. played fair hockey through the first two periods, but were outgiiessed in the final frame and turned.from fair to worse. MoLellan notched two first per- fod counters, the last from Burr and Copeland. In the second stan- m1, Copeland scored alone. The final period saw many goals and many penalties. Haxton pushed home two quick- fes in the early minutes to make the count 5-0 before. Gillens and Myles worked for two return coun- ters making the score 5-2. Haxton then took on the job of setting-up O'Connor, which he did well, and two goals from Oke's stick were the result, and a final score of 7-2.

The Milkmen tried hard in the final period, com- ing from far behind to within an ace of knotting the count. Piontek and Olesuk scored for the Eveleigh's club in the first, with Hogan replying for the Dairymen. The second frame saw the Cleaners again outscore the opposition 2-1, Trimm and Gibbs scoring for Eveleigh's, to Myles' return tally for the milkmen. That made the score 4-2 going into the final period. Sarnovsky scored neatly for a 5-2 count, and then came the fight in the Oshawa Dairy team. L , They rapped home two fast ones and almost had the tying marker when the game ended. Sutton got the first of the rally tallies, while Mylés added the second, his sec- ond of the night.

Depratto scored for the Coalmen in the first period, but 50 seconds after Lawrence had taken Kellar's pass to put Beatons out in front. Depratto and B. Kellar scored in the second frame for the McLaugh- lin Coal team, and put them into & neat 3-2 lead, Myles countering for the Milkmen. In the final period, the boys laid on the sticks, and four penalties were handed out.

Savold Meets Woodcock Today London, Dec. 6--(AP)--Lee Sav- old, the former bartender from Minnesota, and Bruce ooodcock, the British heavyweight champion, fight a crucial 10 rounds tonight for a possible shot at Joe Louis and his world title. Opinion varies as to what will happen then. Though bettors weren't active, the story was that some would give you 11 to 10 against Savold and others 5 to 4 against Woodcock. Going to record in this morn- ing's newspapers, five London sports writers picked Savold to win. Two were non-committal. Three picked Woodcock. Both gladiators seemed confident as they landed in town from train- ing camps last night, and both were eager for a lucrative Louis bout. Promoters have indicated tonight's winner or the Joe Baksi-Ezzard Charles winner in New York Friday may be the Brown Bomber's next championship opponent. It was Baksi who broke Wood- cock's jaw here in April, 1947. Bruce was more than a year getting well enotigh to resume training. His first outing -- the short waltz against Lee Oma--tested nothing. Savold, at 32, is! five years older than Woodcock, and in 14 years in the ring has had three times as many professional fights. Both scale around 191 pounds.

Parts team entertained as visitors, the Markham Million~ aires. The Parts club proved the perfect host, too, giying Markham a 4-3 win. Markham have certainly not got | the club they had last season, and | though their finish around the nets' was what beat the Oshawa Mercan. tile team, the local club still 'hi | far and away the edge in territorial, | play. Goalies Best The game featured the work of | the goalies, who played the best | hockey on the ice. Neither club showed any forward line which was too potent, but more individualists who wanted to look potent. ] In the first frame Markham took | a 1-0 lead on a goal by Nesbitt off the stick of Linton. The shot came late in the period, and it was the case of too many saves for Bare | riage. The sandwich session saw Parts tie the score on a very neat effort by Doug Furey and Hank Valen- | tine. Valentine flipped the puck at | Carr in the Markham twine, and it was kicked out to Furey. He moved in, deked the goalie aside and shot the rubber home. . Play was speeded up somewhat and the clubs started to make a real battle of the affair, Brightens Up In the final frame the game took on the aspects of one of last year's Intermediate play-off games, with thrills every minute, and some smart plays every other minute. cott and Brennan teamed for Markham to break the tie at the three minute mark, and the Forgie brothers made it 3-1 a minute later to really put the Milliopanres ahead. Oshawa still looked good enoug.. fo tie the Markham team, but just couldn't connect with Carr playing such a good game between the pipes for the greenshirts. . Oshawa Back In It was Lintner who flipped the puck to Bragg for the. Oshawa marker which put them back into the fight at 3-2, and things stayed that way for quite a spell. Markham however waited for the breaks as Parts tried to get back on even terms, and one Jase move and they scored, Rowecliffe hand- ing the rubber off to Linton who pushed it past Barriage. The Parts looked lost after that | goal, but Doug Furey got a peculiar | one with but two minutes to gb, when he shot from behind the net to score. The locals then went at it tooth and nail to try for a tie. They failed, and Markham came out the victor by a 4-3 count. GM-UMS PARTS: Goal, Barriage; de- fense, W.
