PAGE TEN THE DAILY? TI MES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1950 St, Catharines Teepees defeated Guelph Biltmores last night 5-3 and the win moved the Teepees up into a tie for third place in the Junior "A" race, alongside the Oshawa Generals and Guelph Hatters. 'The homesters had a 4-0 lead at one stage last night then Coach Alfie Pike's crew gave Rexie Stimers and his pals a bad case of the jitters when they climbed up to within 4-3 but a penalty enabled the Teepees to add another goal and that did it. Tonight, Waterloo visits Barrie Flyers and of course the Flyers are expected to tightep their grip on second place and climb up a little closer to the Jeague-leading Marlies, with a win over Hurricanes tonight. Stratford Kroehlers visit Windsor Spitfires in the other game booked for tonight and this one is more doubtful--but if the Spitfires are still as hot as they were down here, they'll be able to win on home ice, St. Mike's were scheduled to play here in Oshawa tonight but early in the year the "Irish" request a lay- off for examinations and holidays for the last two weeks of December and while this wasn't allowed for--at least tonight's game has been postponed. -* * + Here the Generals can dig in for a stiff workout tonight and prepare for their grip up to Guelph on Friday might, when they' try to break that three-way tie for third place ghat mow exists be- tween Generals, Biltmores and Teepees. Coach Larry Aurie, begin- ning $0 come around now after his extremely painful back injury, can rest quietly knowing that he hasn't missed another game. Osh- awa Generals will idle again after Friday night until Saturday, Dec. 30, when Stratford Kroehters visit Oshawa and that's one the Generals have got to win if they hope to shake off the relentless pursuit of the pack and climb a little higher or at least climb into a more secure spot, in the standing. A win over Guelph on Friday would of course be a big byost also--while a win for Biltmores on their home ice will put them in third place, ahead of the Generals. Meanwhile, local hockey fans can devote the remaining few days to their Christmas shopping duties and get ready for the big game here a week from Saturday night. Ra * * The other day there came an announcement from St. Kitts that the Lions Club of that city would no longer sponsor the Juvenile Lions, a club that won three All-Ontar.o hockey titles and seven or eight Southern Ontario Juvenile crowns under O.M.H.A. jurisdiction. The Lions Club decided to fold up--and gave as their reason, in plain language, that the young players were getting too many big ideas and their demands were constituting too much of a financial burden. Up in Toronto, the same day, the famous Toronto Hockey League, which has operated minor leagues for years and years, also denounced' the lack of interest shown by parents and increasing expense. Where is it all going to end? If it keeps up--hockey is going to be a luxury that the average club can not afford to run a minor team--then where are INJURY-RIDDLED CHIHAWKS NO MATCH FOR HIGH-FLYING RED WINGS By The Canadian Press Detroit Red Wings, rolling merrily along cn their second long unbeat- en streak of the season, are crowd- ing Toronto Maple Leafs for the lead in the National Hockey League. Coach Tommy Ivan's crew last night made it seven victories in their last eight starts by trouncing Chicago's injury - riddled Black Hawks 6-1 before a Detroit crowd of 10,038. The victory lifted the Wings to within one point of the idle Leafs, who tonight have a chance to re- gain their slim advantage in a clash at home with the fourth-place Montreal Canadiens. Spotted One Goal The Wings, who haven't been beaten since Dec. 6--they were tied once--spotted the Hawks a goal by Veteran Adam Brown, then rapped home six markers almost at their leisure. Théy made things thoroughly miserable for their former team- mate, Goalie Harry Lumley, by pep- pering him with 36 shots, 18 of them in the first period while Terry Sawchuk in the Detroit net was handling three drives. The Detroit rearguard again de- monstrated its strength on the of- fence, three defencemen sharing scoring honors with the forwards. They were Bob Goldham, Leo Reise and Rookie Clarence Raglan. Ted Lindsay, Jim Peters and Gordie Howe connected for the other mark- ers, The Leafs, meanwhile, called up Fern Flaman from Pittsburgh of the American League for tonight's game. Flaman "To See Action Flaman, a hard-hitting rearguard, will be seeing action with the Leafs for the first time since he was obtained from Boston Bruins in a trade last month. He will replace Hugh Bolton, injured at Boston last week-end. The Canadiens also have a new face in their line-up--Bert Olm- stead who was acquired in a trade with Detroit for Leo Gravelle. Both are forwards. : Tonight's only other scheduled game sends the Bruins into New cellar for the fifth-place Bruins are only one point ahead of the base- ent-dwelling New Yorkers. TWO Importan "Doc" Dafoe Top Scorer In THL Race Doc Dafoe, Whitby's veteran for- ward star with the champion Peo- ples, is showing the way to all T.H. L. Major Series point-getters, fig- ures released last night show. Oshawa Central A.C. Is the Official Name The newly formed Athletic Club at C.R.A. has now acquired a name. It is called the "Oshawa Central Athletic Club". The meeting was chaired by Bob McPhee, president of the club. The fees of the club were set to include the use of showers, equip- | ment and lockers. | The Oshawa Central Athletic the players going to' come from? Even parents are finding their own strain--hockey sticks, skate-and-boot outfits, etc., are all very expensive --and "Junior" also figures he has to have all kinds of pads, guards, harness, padded pants, sweater and matching socks, etc.--or he isn't "a hockey player." Somewhere between the manufacturer and the, National Hockey League (which as far as we can figure out today, is! the beginning and ultimate of hockey) there will have to be some cnanges made * J J We could dig up figures right here in Ontario's Junior "A" cir- cult--we could get some right here in Oshawa. That Marshall case up in Guelph that brought forth mention of a $4,000 figure is only one instance. 'The other day in Montreal, Hab Juniors traded Killen, Golden and Skeates for Real Jacques of the Junior Royals. They nad a story going too that Frapk Byrne, ewner of the Quebec Cita- dels, had offered his goalie, Marcel Paille and $3,000 for Bob Perrault of Three Rivers. It was also reported he offered $2,000 for two defensemen. One of Byrne's Junior players is reported to make $5,000 a year. Others receive salaries of over $100.00 a week. Another player is alleged to get $40 a week--plus five bucks for every win. Even this $100.00 per week figure is mot exhorbitant--several in the Junior "A" ranks are probably getting that much. Certainly some of them were getting almost that much a few years ago-- remember Pierre Cadieux? But the roots of this insidious growth are spreading like tentacles right through the sport and before long, could strangie the game completely--or at least seriously retard its growth. The Juveniles have already got big ideas--in fact, if you iry to organize a pee-wee today, you'll find the first question the hockey sprites will ask is "Can we keep our uniforms?" * 4 > BRIGHT BITS -- We note that "Doc" Dafoe, former Oshawa | General and well-known Whitby athlete, is leading the scoring race | in the Toronto Major League . . .

With Mr. Mitchell was Perry McIntosh, O.H.A. referee from Lindsay. Those present derived much bene- fit from the school as Bill Mitchell gave many important tips to coaches on the coaching of teams and fundamentals that they can teach their players. Mr, McIntosh led the discussion on the rules of hockey and answered all the questions that were asked by the coaches present. | Bill Smith, C.R.A. Supervisor of Physical Education, said that "the school would continue for one more night after the new year when the potential referees will go over all| they have been taught in the two- day school. On a resolution of the Neighbor- hood Association Sports Committee Meeting on November 28th, it was resolved that only authorized ref- erees who attended this two-day school, would be able to referee Neighborhood Association hockey games. If there was no referee avail- able, the game would not be counted as a league game. By attending this school, those present will receive certificates to make them author- ized officials. Mr. Mitchell hoves to be able to | get back again in the new year with films he has taken on the funda- mentals of hockey up in Lindsay. This will be a "must" for every | coach, player and referee.
