PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1949 by Sixta HIT OR MISS "While I'm gone find me a ball with a larger thumb hole . . , I" PORT NAPSHOTS Oshawa Generals tackle Stratford Kroehlers here tonight in what could be their second-to-last clash of the season. The Generals have another game booked for Stratford ice, on the last day of this month. Actually, of course, these two teams could meet in the playoffs too. However, at thé present time, the Generals face the problm.of winning tonight's game if they are to stay ahead of the Kroehlers in the pre- sent desperate drive for points and an improved playoff position. Vet- eran manager Dave Pinkney left the press box here after screaming from above for two periods and went to the players' bench for the third period and so "pepped up" the Kroehlers (probably by threatening to cut their salaries in half) that they roared back with a 3-goal rally in the third period to defeat the Generals 4-3. The Generals have to make sure that doesn't happen tonight. They need this win tonight very badly, otherwise they'll be back in fifth place and in danger of being left out of things altogether. * * * St. Mike's missed a great chance last night. They dropped a 4- point game up in Galt and this victory by the Rockets vaulted them into 8th place, a point ahead of the "Irish". Meanwhile over in St. Catharines, Tee Pees built up a 5-0 lead and then saw Windsor Spitfires roar back in the second period to tie the score at 6-6. Spitfires went on to win 8-7. We listened to Rexie Stimers and it was terrific. He practically had the OHA title sewn up when his pets were leading 4-0 at the end of the first period but he cried about "luck", "offsides", etc., as the Spitfires tied it up and then the third period climax was out of this world. He mentioned Oshawa Generals visiting St, Kitts on Friday and in the next breath, had the Gen- erals rushing up the ice into St. Kitts territory. Near the finish, with the Tee Pee goalie out and six forward seeking the tying goal, Rexie offered to fall out of the booth if St. Kitts could score and tie it up. We crossed our fingers and sent a hurry-up call to Allah-- but it was no good. After tonight's game in Windsor, Spitfires will likely be in first place alone, with Tee Pees back in 3rd spot. * - 9 / Peterboro's lacrosse team, after winning the O.L.A. Senior "B" cham- plonship for two seasons in succession, have decided to have a fling at Senior "A" competition and it is announced they'll play some of their games at the Miller Bowl. Don't know whether that means they'll play some of them inside their new Civic sArena, or whether some of the Senior "A" clubs have insisted on having less trips to Peterboro than an even fifty-fifty schedule. for in conversation with a veteran O.L.A. officer, last fall, we were in- formed that Peterboro should have gone into Senior "A" last year and maybe they had lost their chance and wouldn't be given a franchise this (1949) year.

MERCANTILE HOCKEY | _ THURSDAY NIGHT We think perhaps the latter is the case, |, By PIERRE DUBOIS Canadian Press Staff Writer A long, hard grind starts for Dick Irvin's patched up Canadiens to- night when they clash with the rugged Bruins in Boston while Lynn Patrick's New York Rangers play hosts to the Detroit Red Wings, leaders of the National Hockey League. Long Injured List For Les Habitants, plagued by an injury list as long as your arm, the game marks a stretch during which they'll see action 14 times in 28 days. They return Saturday for a tussle with Chicago Black Hawks and from then on will get little in the way of rest until Feb. 9. Coach Dick Irvin dug again into the minors for tonight's game after it became known defenceman Doug Harvey would not be able to play. Roger Leger was recalled from Buf- falo Bisons of the American Hockey League. Already up from the min- ors are Tod Campeau and Leo Gravelle. Bud Goes Home Bud McPherson, borrowed from Edmonton Flyers of the Western Canada League as a replacement for Harvey, left for home by plane Tuesday night after completing a three-game engagement under the big top. That's all he is allowed un- der pro-amateur lend-lease agree- ment. The Canadiens also left forward Rip Riopelle at home on their Bos- ton jaunt,.He is nursing a knee in- jury. Still sidelined, but out for light skating workouts Tuesday, were the team's big guns, defenceman Butch Bouchard and Elmer Lach. Bouch- ard is not expected back in uni- form for another two weeks while Lach will be out until Feb. 1 at least. The Chi-Hawks were the only N.H.L. club to gét into action Tues- day night.

The loss forced the Tee Pees into second place with 41 points, two behind the Spitfires. The teams play right back in Windsor tomorrow night, in their last series of the schedule. : It 'was a heartbreaker for Art Jackson's gold-black Tee pees, who, roused the crowd to wild frenzy in building up a 4-0 lead in the opener and holding the flying Red Shirts of Jimmy Skinner off the sheet. But the fleet Windsor squad roar- ed back in the second period to tie ; the count, 6-5. Johnny Wilson put the Spitfires up 8-6 early in the third period. St. Catharines drove back and scored to make the count 8-7. The desper- ate Tee Pees drew netminder Porky Douglas from the nets and sent six forwards into the battle. A tight Spitfire defense prevented them from scoring. Johnny Wilson and Marcel Prono- vost paced Windsor marksmen with three goals apiece. Larry Wilson and Doug McGinn followed up with one apiece.

Td Longboat in Complete ribal Funeral Brantford, Jan. 12 -- (CP) -- Marathon runnér Tom Longboat; an' Onondaga of the Six Nations In- dians, lies buried in a white man's coffin' but his spirit can rise to join his forefathers. A fellow mem- ber of his tribe saw to that. Canada's greatest marathoner, who won international fame in races of nearly 40 years ago, Long~ boat died Sunday at 62. He was given a chief's funeral Tuesday, with tribal services the Onondagas have followed for centuries. Longboat worshipped the Great ¢ Spirit venerated by his ancestors long before the white men came. And it was in the tradition of the for his long journey to the Happy Hunting Ground of his forebears. On the feet of the big Indian, whose earthly race was run, were placed new buckskin moccasins, Iringed and beaded. From head to foot he was clothed in new cotton and woolen garments handstitched by the women of his family and of his tribe. The gar- ments bore not a button or pin or anything else alien to the cloth. Across the valley from the Six Nations Long house in which the lengthy funeral rites were chanted, two sons and four other Indians carried the flag-draped coffin to the burial ground of the Ononda- gas. There a wooden marker two feet high, with "T G. Longboat" handcarved across the top with a jackknife, was ready to be placed atop the grave. Before the great athlete was placed in the white man's coffin, a member of the tribe took his whit- tling knife and cut a "V" nick at the coffin's head. That was to en- able the spirit of Old Tom to get out to go to his ancestors.
