We may have niscounted somewhere along the line but our Tezords show the Kroehlers with a total of only 27 points, not 31. Barrie Flyers whipped the Windsor Spitfires 6-1 last night at Barrie and that vaulted the Flyers. into a big lead over the' Spits.: We rather doubt if anybody will catch Barrie now that they have this big lead. The Generals are not in 'action again umtil next Tuesday evening, when they Play in Toronto, against Matlboros. ' + roo x There were lotstof interesting things to see and talk about at last night's hockey 'match, "Gus" Marker, veteran N.H.L. star who per- formed for years in the "Big Time" as.a mentber of the Montreal * Maroons and later Toronto Leafs, was a préss box guest and selected ° . the' Harry Donald Motors 3-stars' for the night, selecting "Ben" ' Chapman, "Dusty" Blair and "Red" Stephen. He had a' tough job . picking 'em last night too, for there were plenty of stars in the Oshawa rester;. "Stew" Hendry chaulked up a good shutout and no , : doubt' would have drawn one for this except for the fact he didn't Wave too much to do in most of the third period. Marty Burton, Ted "0'Connor, Bob Thompson, Frank Sullivan, all these were to the fore also, We liked the odd flashes of skating speed and dipsy-doo attack- ing displayed by "Chuck" Waks in his first appearance in an Oshawa uniform. Archie Richardson got his first goal for Oshawa against his former club. They hit a lot of goal-pests last night too, both 'CHap- man and Blair hitting the post hard on shots that had Mooney beaten while Mullens of Guelph bounced two off the Oshawa goal-- "post at the nofth end. Incidentally, Bob Palmer, who was throwing a little extra weight nto his checking against his former mates, "walized up the centre and through the Oshawa defense in the third . i. period with a form he never showed here. ; * * EE We didn't keep track of 'em but we'd wager a large sum that alraedy we've heard '17 'different versions as to what happened in the 'big fracas last Tight at the 'Oshawa Arena. However, since that's our job, we were watching and we've got our own idea--namely, that if referees "Red" Farrell and Al. Woods had given Eddie Bolan. (No. 5) a misconduct pen- alty when he attacked a rail-seat spectator in the second period, after the Burton-Bellringer scrap, then the "big blow" that followed about five: minutes later, would néver have happened. There are two responsibilities' and obligations that are not enforced strictly enough, either by the O.H.A. officials or the arena managements. Any player that strikes at a spectator with his' stick' should be thumbed out of the game and any spectator that strikes at a player or grabs a player's stick (other than for pro- : teckion) should be thumbed out of the arena, * * * As for the i t that developed into such serious consequences "-liere is what happened as we saw it. During a high-sticking flurry _ beside the boards, Plumb's stick came up and a spectator grabbed it, in a sélf-protection gesture. However--we think he hung on to it a little longer than necessary. Then, when Plumb did pull free, he de- ,liberately swung back at the spectator with the stick, who again grabbed it, this time in earnest. They tangled and the officials moved ' * in, Montgomery; former Oshawa player, also got into it and the fans: around there all stood up and remarks were thrown (but nothing else except by the original two) and then Montgomery jumped up to strjke a spectator. About this time, referee Woods had got Plumb _ well: awsy--about seven feet fromi the boards, when all at once, Plumb swung 'his stick, with his left hand, in 'the direction of the official's hefid. He almost ducked it (fortunately for both of them) but the stick caught Woods on the right side of his head, above the :-eye and then 'the stick glanced to Woods' shoulder and broke at the impact. Woeds dropped to the ice, bleeding profusely, and had to be lielped off and Plumb skated around on the ice, long aftér most of the Guelph Players 'had sat down, but he eventually drew his match ity. In our opinion Plumb's action was no accident-- he hit his intended target. But the official may be generous. Ld * * Vic.

Montreal, Dec, 23 -- (CP) -- The Canada's oldest organized circuit, now is enjoying the best season in its 30-odd year history.

Five teams from Montreal and dis- trict make up half of the circuit while the other entries are Quebec City, Valleyfield, Victoriaville, St. Hyacinthe, and Three Rivers.

A new record was almost estab- lished in the league this season when Quebec Citadels, who entered the circuit last season, piled up a team to forfeit 13 games--I12 wins and one tie--in which Groleau had played.

' Came. .then,. the fun.. Stephen stepped into Shaw and they brawled for two major penalties. Not half a minute later Burton and Bellring- er were at it and they got majors. That put four men in. the box at once. Fergusen got a minor for high- sticking, and that put three Guelph and two Oshawa players in the box. The spectators were getting quite vociferous in their" approval and disapproval. of the battles, and the first time the play came near the boards they grabbed at the players. That started the: bad fight. Al- most all the Guelph players were swinging either fists or sticks at the fans, and fhe clientel were giv- ing just as Justily as they were tak- ing. That was about when Plumb the man in white and 'the pro- geedings came to a standstill. Added To Final The remaining six minutes and nine seconds of the second period were played in conjunction: with the third 'canto to give the third offi- cial a 'chance to get «dressed in the intermission. In the fingl trame the Generals accomplished a very neat goal-scor- ing 'spree. The score Was 3-0 going into the period, and before it was over seven tallies were added to that total, first minute of play, Gamble added another after two minutes had elapsed. Then while Guelph were two men short the Generals potted three goals in 36 seconds. Burton, Hall and Richardson did the pot- ting of the rubber.
