PAGE TEN | \ THE DAILY TI VES.GAZETTE HIT OR)MISS by Sixtc By VIC MORRIS, JR. Canadian Press Staff Writer Detroit Red Wings' Gordie Howe is one hockey player that knows how to stay on top when he's on top, and the pace he's setting now is giving Maurice (Rocket) Richard of Canadiens his biggest headache. The sharp-eyed Howe last night -| added more misery to the last- place Chicago Black Hawks when he rapped in three goals to lead the Detroiters to a 4-2 victory. defeat marked the Hawks' straight winless. game. The 15th GORDIE HOWE WIDENS In the other Wednesday 'night game, Boston Bruins battled to a 3-3 stalemate at New York with the Rangers, A win for the Bruins would have moved them into a third-place tie with Montreal Cana- diens while a Ranger, victory would have given the.

Then midway through the first session Gaye Stewart combined with Metro Prystai to even the count. Howe did the rest, collecting his goals in the first, second and third periods. Adam Brown con- nected for the second Chicago tally on an effort with Lee Fogolin and The deadlock between Rangers and Boston marked the fifth tie between the teams this season. Woody Dumart teamed up with his old linemate, Milt Schmidt, to move the Bruins ahead late in the first period. Don Raleigh got that one back after taking Eddie Slow- inski's pass at the 19:11 mark of the session. New York went ahead midway through the second on 'Tony Leswick's unassisted goal, but Paul Ronty evened things again on a play with Bill Quackenbush. Edgar Laprade teamed with de- fenceman Frankie Eddolls after 14 the Blueshirts ahead 3-2, but in .the waning minutes Eddie Sand- ford rapped in a pass from Schmidt and Quackenbush to end the con- test.

The Generals' ace scoring trio of Delvecchio, Jankowski and Mills were held right oft the score-sheet and it can be assumed that Coach Jimmie Skinner came up with a back-checking combination that held this Oshawa line under control, Bobby Attersley and Don McBeth notched Oshawa's two goals with Herve DeJordy,getting in on both of them and Samolenko helping on the first one also. Eddie Joss was the big man for the Spitfires with two goals. Erwin Grosse assisted in the first one and scored the final goal, with 19 seconds left to go, when Coach Larry Aurie pulled goalie Eddie Crouch in favor of six forwards, in a bid to tie the game, with the score 3-2. Grosse clicked with a shot on the empty net and that "sewed it up." However the Generals made a very creditable show- ing. Both Barrie and Windsor won last night (Flyers walloped Kroehlers 8-2 in Barrie) so that left these two teams still tied for second place-- but a lot closer to the league-leading Marlies. « +» + * BRIGHT BITS -- Oshawa Curling Club representatives, two teams of two rinks each, won the local district honors here yesterday in the first round of the playoffs for Ontario Silver Tankard honors and the District Cup competition -- winners of which moved into the Governor- General's Cup event . . .

After many close and tense struggles Bob Patte's quartet eked out a close 8-7 win over a team ably captained by Val Stock. The individual matches went as follows: (In each case members of Patte's team are mentioned first.) J Singles Art Hill was defeated 16-21, 21- 14, 21-14 by Bob Brown. Bryce Brown was bested by Don Long 21-15, 21-19, Gord Taylor lost to Pat Pallette 21-18, 21-15. Bob Patte was beaten by Val Stock 21-18, 14-21, 21-17. Doubles Taylor, Stock were edged 14-21, 21-14, 21-12 by Patte, Pellette. A. Hill, Bryce Brown drubbed D. Long and Bob. Brown 21-14, 21-11. (Points were awarded on the basis of 1 point for each game won.) It is hoped that more club mem- bers will avail themselves of this opportunity at future meets. Tiger Veteran Returns, Aids ~ Team's Victory During the last 10 years Hamil- ton Tigers were one of Canada's better-known amateur hockey teams and chiefly because they featured a group of top-notch veterans famili- arly known as "the old men of the mountain." One of the outstanding "old men" was Clarence Shillington, a tricky stickhandler. He dropped out of an O.H.A. playing role this year, how- ever, to coach a Toronto commercial team. He quit, that is, until last night when he once again was in Hamilton livery. The result was that Hamilton Ti- gers moved past Kitchener-Water- loo into third place in the Ontario Hockey Association Major series by defeating the Dutchmen 8-5. Shillington scored a first-period igoal and sparked a so-so line to | producing four goals. Hamilton got four goals in five minutes of the first period and never were in ser- ious trouble. | 'The Tigers' Pete Pidsodney and | Art Hurst of Kitchener drew ma- | jors for a fist fight in the. second period. Hurst came out of the bat- | tle with a cut hand. Pidsodney and Miocinovich each | rapped in two Tiger goals with oth | ers going to Frank Liscombe, Tom | Smelle and Murray - Comfort. Don | Bauer scored twice for the 'losers Barrie, Jan. 18 -- Barrie Flyers, who haven't dropped a home fix- ture since late November, placed eighth-place Stratford Kroehlers alongside their OHA Junior "A" victims last night with a 6-2 vic- tory. The Flyers, fighting to keep their second place standing and to catch the leading Toron Marlboros, built a commanding 65-0 lead before Kroehlers hit the score sheet. The superiority the winners held over Pinky Lewis' squad is illus- trated in the shots as Al Bennett, Stratford custodian, handled 47 shots. Lorne Howes in the Barrie net was called upon 15 times. Leo Labine was top marksman for the Flyers with two goals. Bill Hagan, Jerry Toppazzini, Chuck Wood and George Stanutz supplied singletons. Doug Williams and Larry Lemen- chick each scored once for the Kroehlers. Lewis brought defence- man Bill Salter up front the Strat- ford "B" entry and the youngster made a good showing in his first start in the higher bracket.

Tussle Sudbury, Jan. 17 -- (CP) -- Sud- bury Miners gained a 5-5 tie with Toronto St. Michael's of the On- tario Hockey Association Major Series in an exhibition game here last night. Miners, leaders of the Soo-Sudbury senior loop, were be- hind 2-5 midway in the second Paul Theriault's second goal of the game tied the score in the third frame, and then Goalie Warren Thompson gave 'a brilliant display to keep St. Mike's scoreless. ; Other Sudbury scorers were Bucky Basso, Lou Prete and Johnny Hamilton. Marksmen for St. Mike's were Bill McCracken, with two, Johnny Ubriaco, Tom Fowler and Johnny Arundel, Oshawa Bees Down Peterhoro For 7th Win In Nine Games; ~ Tighten Grip On Third Place &-- > Oshawans Take Early Lead in First Two Frames and Ward Off Late Rally by Petes for Timely Victory -- Deeth, Lawrence, Wil- son and Kellar Score Bee Counters Peterboro, Ont., Jan. 18 -- Reg Mills' Oshawa Bees displayed good form last night at civic arena to de- feat Oddfellows 4-2 in a «fairly hard-fought though clean Junior B hockey fixture, Upwards of 500 fans saw the vis- itors play an aggressive and close checking game to rack up their seventh win in nine starts since December 16 and further tighten up the hectic Lakeshore junior race. Bees now trail Lindsay and Peter- boro who are tied for second place in the standing by a single . with Belleville leading the loop with 20 points to date. Take Two-Goal Lead : Oshawa took a two goal lead in the first frame by wirtue of two fine tallies by Gord Deeth and Lawrence from Chiroski and fair- ly outplayed Bun Kingdon's boys offensively though Oddfellows were outlucked on several fine sallies into rival territory in the early stages as both teams warmed up. Bess drove hard early in the faster sec- ond frame and as Jed Wilson and Bill Kellar found the range tne lo- cals seemed unable to cope with the strangely rejuvenated men of Mills, But not for long, however. The Kingdom boys suddenly regained their better form after the five minute mark and flew hither and yon to outplay the visitors till fin- ally at 14.11 Brian Robinson com- bined with Floyd on a fine rush and fired a fast close-in drive past Pal- lister from short left wing to put links back in the game. Continuing a sustained offensive throughout the final frame, Odd- fellows stormed around the rival cage while the Bees in turn gave Wasson many tough ones to handle as both teams gave their all in a fine display of sparkling hockey. Oddfellows lamplighter line of Wyatt, West and Stewart (the lat- ter replacing the injured Jim Mor- row) clicked on a beautiful goal late in the stanza with West potting one of his favorite close in tallies on a fast ganging attack at 16.48. Dean Wasson -and Wyatt drew as- sists. Despite the locals fine work in the latter stages however, Oshawa's early margin stood them in good stead as they edged a hard earned and timely victory. Outstanding Players Outstanding for Oshawa were Lawrence, Haxton, Kellar, Degray, Wilson, Chiroski, Deeth, and Etcher up front with Hillman very good defensively and the entire team showing good form.
