et SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEEN CHECKING WITH BOB RIFE Vv Didja ever get tangled in a chain? Its not hard to do, and all we're hoping is that the Oshawa Bees don't find Three Links 'enough to stub their toes on- tonight. , Three Links represents the Peter- borough I1.0.O.F, Junior hockey club who at present rest in second place in the local league. Our club are hanging grimly to first place and with a win tonight would assure any doubters that they'll stay there: Feterborough "has a good-sized club who like to use a two and three man break up the ice. They are pretty well coached and have some faces we used to see down in Tor- onto on their club. . The Bees will be at full strength and loking for a victory in the way a starving man looks at a juicy brown roast spattering in the oven. We had trouble with Lindsay, eke- ing out a close 4-3 win. The Petes aren't Lindsay, they are a little better, so look out gang. (7d A lot has been written and probably many million more words will be expended on bas- ketball"s biggest problem . . . the Goon. : Who he? He's the guy who towers in the regions of the atmosphere from six-foot-five and upwards. When the dear Dr. Naismith - decided an indoor sport was needed round his campus he stuck a peach basket on the wall "sufficiently out of reach: to avoid confusion." Well maybe he didn't foresee the days when the cage game would develop characters with 84 inch reach, etc., etc. As it stands now, these tall players virtually force a smaller man to foul him in his efforts to regain the ball . . . or in most cases to even check the Goon. - The elimination of the centre jump after a basket helped some, as did the three-second keyhole rule. Goalkeeping by these lofty individuals has been prohibited as has dunking (toss- ing the ball down into the bas- ket). But still the tall man reigns supreme. Vv Course there is the other side of the, story. These Goons (they hate the nomer) fina basketball about the only sport they can play. Coaches don't want a guy that big, who has not the weight to go with it. They have finally found a niche where their height is an advantage rather than a hindrance, Nowadays with the fastbreak, one-handed push-shots and bucket hooks, (Gad suh such language!) the attack is usually built around the Goon, BOWLING NEWS MOTOR CITY FAGS Three teams took all three points this week to get a good start in this section.

It wasn't much of ON SPORT They still depend on the little guy to run crazy-legged round the cotirt to get in the clear the odd Spicy Bits From Other time, but in the end its the Goon who gets the pass and either flips, the leather through the cords or hands off to a team-mate right in the clear. What's all this about? Well if you want a gander at a Goon, the Oshawa Grads will be pleased to provide a view.

Those two wandering baseball prospects, Hank Sarnovsky and John "Crabby" Jozkoski should just about be installed in their Florida training camp now. With all the snow round here, we think mayhap we should go down and see if we can dig up a story on them. We'll ask the boss. "Great idea. Matter of fact I'll handle the job myself. Take care of things while I'm gone." It was a good idea, we thought. Joe Zak was the pacesetter this week with three nice games of 204, 249, 303 for a triple of 846.

Lucky Strikes took 3 from Aces to move into top place and put Sports Cols. By JOHN PATERSON anadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, Feb. 17--(CP)--Throw another log in that stove, Bub--the sportswriters are talking baseball again. Members of the Galt Baseball As- sociation got the full effect of the double whammy the other night when, said Laurie (Galt Reporter) Brain, they decided to hold their an- nual meeting. The worst blizzard of the winter struck the same even- ng. The association heard the Galt Athletic Club say it intended to try to field another strong team in 1950, blizzard outside. Over in St. Thomas, Manager Ed- die Atzrott of Legion's club, who lives in Buffalo, mushed in to re- port he had signed two more dia- mond stars to- round out the St. Thomas team, N.D. (St. Thomas Times-Journal) Whitmore reported. Other senior clubs in the' strong Intercounty League are rounding up their talent but aren't releasing names until all players are officially signed. Already many United States imports have been signed for the district's baseball leagues, Whij- more promised St. Thomas would have its share. Rex (Guelph Mercury) MacLeod suggested that if. Guelph 'Mayle Leafs are serious about rounding up "Capable" talent for next baseball season they might make an offer to Oscar Judd of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League. Several weeks ago, sald Rex, at least two Ontario clubs were after the former big-league left-hander whose home is in Ingersoll, but did not receive much encouragement, Rex later learned from Toronto General Manager Joe Ziegler that Judd has not been offered a con- tract for next season. Chances are, the Guelph writer thinks, that an offer to Judd from an Ontario ball team now might receive a more fay- orable reception. DON GRIFFIN LEADS QUEENS TIGHT DEFEAT London, Ont, Feb. 18 (CP).-- Ability to score from the free-throw line was the deciding factor Friday night as the University of Western Ontario Mustangs edged a fighting Queen's University team 46-42 in a senior intercollegiate basketball game at the arena before about 1200 fans. The win was Western's tenth in 18 starts and their fourth straight league win, While the Mustangs connected for only field goals out of 63 tries, they sank 20 out of 32 foul shots. Queen's had 15 field goals out of 57 attempts, but they sank only seven of their 19 tries from the foul line. The Gaels, who outfought the Mustangs most of the game, were led by the 17-point effort of freshman Don Griffin who bagged six field goals and five foul shots. Western's higher scorer was Paul Thomas who led all scorers for the night with 19 points, on seven field goals and five charity tosses. It sent the Mustang guard over the 200 mark for the season with 211 points in 18 games. them a tie for points with Lucky Strikes and Black Cats drop to 6th. Head Pins took 2 from Lucky Six and they hold on to 3rd and 4th places.

Famous R.M.C.-West Point Game Booked for March 11 In Kingston Will Maintain Old Traditions Started In 1923, There Has Never Been A Pen- alty Given In this An- nual Classic -- Each Club Has An Exper- ienced Coach This Sea- son -- Losers Receive The Trophy. Kingston, Ont., Feb. 18 -- The eyes of the hockey world will focus once again on this home of the Hockey Hall of Fame on March 11. The date will mark the second post- war meeting between the hockey teams of Royal Military College and the United States Military Academy of West Point, N'Y, The famous annual series was re- sumed last winter after a seven- year lapse brought about by the war. In last year's hard-fought match, played at West Point before a jammed arena, the USMA squad chalked up a 5 to 4 victory, their third successive win in the series. They had previously defeated RMC in the 1939 and 1942 games, the last two played before 1949, Canadians Seek "Revenge" This year the Canadians will be out to avenge 'their loss of last March and resume their winning ways. Prior to 1939, RMC had run up a spectacular undefeated record since the series was inaugurated in 1923. The teams battled to a 4-4 tie in 1935. But the "Kaydets" from West Point have other ideas. Last season they promised to make hockey a major sport at the famous Academy if USMA came through with a win. The Pointers did just that, and hockey has gained new prominence at the home of the illustrious Army football team. A good indication of this came with the announcement that Kilby McDonald, formerly with the New York Rangers of the Na- tional' Hockey League, had been ap- pointed coach, RMC countered with an "ace" of their own, in the person of Johnny Carr-Harris, long-time favorite of the Kingston hockey fans and for- mer professional player with Wash- ington Lions. As coach of RMC's Red and White, Johnny has whip- ped his charges into top-flight shape. Last year RMC had but 100 cadets from which to select its team but this winter the figure is closer to 200. Many of last year's players will be in the line-up and several "rook- jes" will round the squad into a strong aggregation which is deter- mined to "sink the Army." There is a good reason why the series has often been described as one of the world's "most sporting" athletic events. Never once during the entire history of the series has a player been penalized. And this in spite of the fact that rivalry and hard play have been keen in every game, with no quarter asked and none given. It is a record believed to be unique in college athletics. They Started Series Results of the game will be fol- lowed with interest by a world- famous soldier, General Douglas A. MacArthur, Commanding General, Far East Command. It was in 1923 that General MacArthur, then superintendent of West Point, and the late Lt. Gen. Sir Archibald MacDonnell, then commandant of RMC, paved the way for the now PY 4 celebrated international series. They felt that it would be profit- able for both Canada and the United States to have young men from the national military institu- tions meet each other, exchange ideas, discuss common problems, and better still, to compete annually in some sport. Hockey was chosen ... and the sport has fostered many long-standing friendships which have proved of inestimable value to both nations in peace and war. It was decided that the first game should be played at West Point on February 3, 1923, each team using but seven players . . . far-cry from the elaborate system of fast-chang- ing lines used today. Reports of the gamé tell of players facing extra hazards in the form of large patches of shell ice which marred the sur- face of the rink. Of course artificial ice plants in those days were but plans for the future, and ice-mak- ers depended solely on water sup- plies and the whims of Jack Frost. This year the game will be played in Kingston's Jock Harty Arena. The Canadians, clad then as now in the flashy red and white colors which have beeome synonymous with RMC, fought their way to a 3 to 0 win over the Pointers in that first match and went on to win every encounter, until 1939, except for 1926 when sickness cancelled the game, and 1935 when the score was tied West Point Won In '39 In 1939 West Point skated to its first victory, edging RMC by a score of 3 to 2. The Americans followed this up with a 3 to 1 victory in 1942, the next year the series was played. War brought a temporary halt to the renowned contests. In 1923 a cup was presented to the USMA by RMC and was deeded to the Academy as a memento of the first athletic meeting between hockey «the sister institutions. The 'series was onge known as the only one in which the losers won the trophy. But in 1939, on the occasion of West Point's first victory, West Point pre- sented a companion cup to RMC to remain at the Canadian college as a pledge of friendship. The Honor List Following are the scores of pre- vious games played in the annudl series: 1936 1938 1939 1942 1949 USMA oo 5- In the 18 games played to date RMC has outscored West Point by a resounding 93 to 41. On an aver- age basis, the Canadians' have scored 5.2 goals in each game to 2.3 games for the "Kaydets" of West Point. DEW BDA DW TIT T fF CR RU CR SE EOE EE OR HIGH AVERAGE Charleston, W.
