PAGE EIGHTEEN TNS THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE 8 AURSDAY, DZCEMRER 16, Y Geo. H. Campbell SPORT - NAPSHOTS Oshawa Generals did it! They pulled a win out of Windsor last night, nicking the Spitfires 5-4 in an overtime verdict, when Ted O'Connor scored a solo goal to break the four-all deadlock. And the Generals de- served their victory too. They were never behind at any stage. They scored the-first goal of the game, were leading 3-1 at the end of the first period and 4-2 at the end of the second stanza. In the third canto, a sharpshooter from the Ottawa Valley, Bruce Giesebrecht of the Pembroke Giesebrechts, popped in a couple of goals with brother Bert and Francis ("Scotty"?) O'Grady, to tie up the count at 4-4. Here at home, the radio fans and hockey fans getting the seore via telephone from The Times- Gazette and other sources, were on pin-and-needles and the long delay hinted overtime, which was viewed' with apprehension. However, the final news of the Oshawa victory was welcome indeed. The win puts the Gen- erals up in fourth place, all alone, one full game ahead of Stratford Kroehlers, who suffered a 6-2 defeat last night up at Guelph. : Ld * * Apparently the player trade between Guelph and Oshawa was a help to both teams, for a while a least, since they both came up 'with a victory last night. Incidentally, we erred yesterday in naming Lorne Ferguson as one of the new players for Oshawa from Guelph. We should have said Archie Richardson, but the mistake was due to previous conversation, which now doesn't matter. In chalking up that clean-cut win over Stratford, Guelph Biltmores moved two points closer to Kroehlers, in 5th place. Barrie Flyers whipped St. Catharines 10-4 last night at Barrie and that vaulted the Flyers into a 3-point lead over Windsor. The keen race as it stands this morning, and our figures are "official'--shows Barrie in 1st place with 34 points and after that the next four clubs are only one full game, or two points apart, as follows: Windsor, 31; St. Kitts, 29; Oshawa, 27; Stratford, 25; Guelph, 21; and then follow St. Mike's, 12; Galt, 10; and Marl- boros, 9. In other words, at the present pace, they could start the group playoffs immediately after New Year's Day, since the top six positions seem to be fairly well settled already--but don't count out St. Mike's just yet! +» LJ * Barrie's victory over the Tee Pees was expected. Right now ,the Flyers are the "fastest" team in the Junior "A" O.H.A. scramble and they have climbed to top spot with a rush in the past three weeks. They have played three less games than the Tee Pees, as have the Generals, and it wouldn't surprise us very much to see St. Kitts slide back into 5th or even 6th place, within the next three weeks. Glelph's win over Kroehlers indicates that Kennie Holmeshaw has them coming along fast and they'll be tough to beat on home ice, from here. The Generals pulled out two points last night where a lot of other teams are going to fail. Not too many will win a game n Windsor ice, Now if the Oshawa boys can maintain their victory pace and come up with another win over the Spitfires here on Saturday night, they'll be pushing the other clubs very hard. And speaking of pushing--Marlboro seniors walloped Stratford last night without any trouble but the-big surprise was that the strengthened (?) Kitchener- Waterloo team dropped a close decision on home ice to the Owen Sound Mercurys, which puts the Marlboros in top spot. * * * MINUTE SPORT PAGE--They had five major penalties in Windsor last night, four in the second period following a big scrap . ..

"That is won- derful news," Lear said, commenting on a report that a group of Ed- monton business men are reviving the old Eskimos, who played in the pre-war Western Conference. "With a four-team league, no team will be idle during any week-end throughout the grid season," Lear added.

Q.A.H.A. Registrar Frank Dilio said the trade had been ruled out "to serve the best interests of hockey." Although no definite deals were announced, talk around the Forum had defencemen Ernie Roche and Dollard St. Laurent, and forwards Andre Cadieux and Gordie Calla- ghan, all of Canadiens, moving to other cities. Roche and St. Laurent were said to be slated for the Nationales tosstrengthen that club's weak defence, while Cadieux and Callaghan were to be assigned to Royals. In return Canadiens were supposed to get defenceman Pete Larocque and forward John MacIntyre, a Junior B player, from Royals . . , - a 3 ho | A & FRI.

GENERALS EDGE WINDSOR IN OVERTIME 4 After Holding 2-Goal Lead 1st and 2nd Periods, Oshawa Wins 5-4 On Overtime Tally Bruce Giesebrecht Scores Twice in 3rd Frame to Tie Score for Spitfires 4-4 -- Ted O'Connor Pots Winning Tally -- Generals Show Big Im- provement in Defensive Play. (Special to The Times-Gazette) Oshawa Generals gained sole pos- session of fourth place last night when 'they decisioned the second- place Windsor Spitfires 5-4 in a thrill-packed overtime game in the Border City. With the score tied 4-4 at the end of regulation time, things look- ed pretty dim for the Oshawa team as Windsor had*staged a brilliant rally' in the last seven minutes of the third to knot the count. The Important One That didn't phase the Generals who, sparked by the Blair, Stephen, O'Connor line, took the ice in the extra period and outskated the Spits. wey O'Connor found the twine about the halfway mark in the overtime and pushed Oshawa up 5-4. The Gens hung on for the rest of the period, and won neatly. The first period was a very fast one, with the locals getting away to s®good start, scoring two geals in the first three minutes of the game. Don Hall got the first on a rous- ing pass-play from Dusty Blair. The second goal was scored by | Stephen from Blair. | Windsor came back with a one goal answer as Bruce Giesebrecht got the first of three for his team on passes from brother Bert and Francis O'Grady (the Irish lad). Oshawa were still plenty hot though and they got that goal back béfore the frame ended when: Ger- ry Scott pounded home the rubber on passes from linemates Marty Burton and Dick Gamble. There were a total of five penal- ties in that period, and things got even rougher in the second when one misconduct, four majors and three minors were handed out for the participants in a brawl. These added up in the final reckoning with a total of 26 sentences being given. In the sandwich sessidbn, Oshawa and Windsor were held to a goal aplece, O'Grady scoring from Bruce Giesébrecht and Rapid Robert Thompson coming through with a longie from Ted O'Connor, There was the big fight of course to keep the fans interest at fever pitch. The final frame was strictly an exhibition of back By Windsor as they put on a hair-raising dis- play to notch two goals and come within an ace of pushing home the winning counter. Bruce Giesebrecht scored both the Windsor goals in that period to bring his total to three. : Came then the overtime and Ted O'Connor's crowning effort at the 5:23 mark. A lovely solo goal to end a very tight game. 'Windsor plays back here in Osh- ada Saturday night, and the ticket salesmen are already getting barri- caded for the coming rush.

Harmsworth Race Renewal Probable, Challenge Filed 16--(AP)--The Harmsworth race, inter- national speedboat competition, probably will be staged next year for the first time in 16 years. Canada has filed a challenge for the trophy won repeatedly by Gar 'Wood of Detroit in the years pre- ceding the last race in 1933. The American Power Boat As- sociation, meeting here Wednesday, said it had been asked to hold the week-end of July 28-Aug. 1 open for possible renewal of the Inter- national rivalry. The request was made by the Yachtsmen's Associ- ation of America, ruling body of Harmsworth events. Donates Trophy . The race was begun in 1903 when Sir Alfred Harmsworth, later Lord Northcliffe of England, donated a trophy for the competition. On Sept. 20, 1932, Gar Wood drove Miss America X at the rate of 124.86 land. miles. an hour at the St. Clair River near Algonac, Mich., to set a world's record that pre- vailed for five years. Wood also won the event and 1933. Under action taken by the Royal Motor Yacht Club in London this month, components of the British Commonwealth will be permitted to make independent challenges. In the past Britain and the Uni- ted States have been the main contestants. Canada's Challenge The Yachtsmen's Association said the Motor Boat Club of Canada had filed a challenge. Canada's main member of the challenging team will be the new craft to be built this winter at Gravenhurst, Ont., for Ernest A. Wilson of Ingersoll. Wilson's son, Harold, has been racing in Gold Cup events for a number of years. The Elder Wilson, who has been named commodore of the Motor Boat Club of Canada, is acquiring a new, large Rolls Royce aviation en- gine from England to put in the new boat; it was reported here.
