MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1951 5h THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN Queen's Junior Cagers Defeat Irish Quintet In First Game Of Eastern Ontario Finals Gaels Defeat Local Crew By 43-26 Count to Gain Big Edge In Total Points Series -- Next Game Set For Feb. 21 Here In the first game of the Eastern Ontario Junior "A" basketball fin- als played at Queen's University gym last Seturday evening, the Flying Irish quintet from Oshawa absorbed a 46-23 setback at the hands of the Queen's U. junior team. _ The series, first of a two-game, total-points affair, will see its con- clusion on Wednesday, February 21 here in Oshawa at the oCcV.L Fade From Picture The Irish with six players on the bench maintained a hot pace with the Queen's team for the first five minutes of the game and then slow- ly faded completely out of the pic- ture, Coach Al Lenard had 12 players dressed and used 10 in the game ... and each one was a definite threat. The big threat was a short stocky bespectacled guard who sat back and the hoops with near perfect two-handed set shoot- ing The name and number of this defence ace was Vanderburgh (20). He was a consumate dribbler and remained in this writer's opinion as the real driving quarierback of the Queen's outfit. After one period of play the score was 12-5. Then at the half it was 10-9 for Queen's. Spectators remarked on the great ball-handling ability of the Irish, and also on their lack of ability to make the ball go through the hoop. They got about as many shots as the enemy up to this point, but were unable to make them count. It seemed that half their shots hit the rim and rolled" off. Hits The Cords Soon after the half, Vanderburgh started to unleash his terrific set shooting and the score rapidly mounted. His work sparked his mates and when the Irish were further weakened by Jack Mackness being sent off the floor on five fouls, Queen's really began to burn the cords. Ackford and Richard led this as- sault and it looked as if the Irish would be swept off the floor. However two members of the club rallied under the pressure placed on them and flashed home some points. Mroczek were the individuals in- volved. Bud scored two neat field goals and Nick powered home three. | 1 "Chick" Phillips also connected in this drive with a one-handed jump shot from close to centre court, But then the weight of numbers began to tell and Queen's rolled up the final score of 46-23, thus giving them a 23-point lead in the series.

Queen's Durrell Wins Ont. Ski Gross-Gountry North Bay, Feb. 12 -- (CP) -- Al Jacobs of Hamilton Cedar Springs Ski Club and Jack Dur~ rell, performing in the colors of Queen's University won the two- way combined individual cham- plonships in the Ontexrio senior competition here during the week- end. Jacobs was victorious in the slalom by a decisive margin, mak- ing the distance in 89.8 seconds in the two runs. Durrell, a North Bay product, flashed around the cross-country run in bitter 20 be- low, in two hours and five minutes in the meet's opening event Sat- urday. Durrell's display of sta- mina in the rugged cross-country earned him the combined laurels. His combined total was 152,05 poinés, while Jacobs put together 118.85 points. Only mishap of the meet oc- curred Sunday afternoon when Jim Donaldson, first competitor in the slalom took a spill and broke his leg in two places. Donaldson was with the Hamilton Cedar Springs Ski team. . Bud Pipher of Oshawa Ski clu was close behind in the cross- country with' a time only 82 sec- onds slower. INIA _GPORT SNAPSHOTS @) Oshawa Generals copped a 5-4 decision over the Windsor Spitfires here on Saturday night to finally halt their long losing streak and also climax a memorable hockey week-end. The Generals jumped into a three-goal lead in the last four minutes of the first period, taking full advantage of Windsor penalties and unleashing a sizzling ganging act and power play that really clicked, After Oshawa made it 5-1 early in the second, the Spitfires came to life and made it very, very close. A two-goal rally in the final frame brought Windsor within one goal of a tie but the Generals hung on to win. Actually, only goalie Hall of Windsor prevented the Generals from having a much bigger total in the first period. Fred Etcher, up from the Junior Bees for this game, to fill in the gap caused by the absence of Stan Mills, turned in a very fine game while Ted O'Connor came up with what was without doubt his best home-ice display of the season. Other games Saturday and Sunday found Waterloo Hurricanes winning on their home ice over the Sgratford Kroehlers on Saturday night -- which was a help to the Generals and to St. Mike's. The "Irish" showed their appreciation by knocking off Guelph Biltmores on Sunday afternoon. This was the first defeat in about three weeks for the "Hatters" and stopped their long winning streak, which had almost put them up tied with Marlboros for 3rd place. As it was, Windsor's loss here kept them from catching up with Barrie and the Marlies defeated St. Kitts on Sunday afternoon in a rough-house rosy tilt at the Gardens. The win put the Dukes up tied with Spitfires and defeat meant that Teepees were kept back in fifth place -- now only two points ahead of Oshawa. + * L 'There are no Junior "A" games booked for tonight but tomorrow tinds the Oshawa Generals and Galt both at Maple Leaf Gardens for a twin-bill. The Black Hawks tangle with the Marlies on Tues- day night and the Generals will be clashing with the red-hot St. Mike's team, who have been winning almost all their home-ice games lately. Windsor visits the Teepees on Tuesday also and Barrie Flyers are playing Biltmores at Guelph. Then there are no more games until Friday when Oshawa Generals play in Guelph and next Saturday night, Stratford Kroehlers play here in Oshawa. + + * : BRIGHT BITS -- Oshawa Junior Bees play their last home game of the schedule here tonight with Belleville Rockets as the visitors. The Bees, who are in the playoffs and assured of 4th place, can spoil Belle- ville's bid for first-or-second spot," by knocking off the Rockets here tonight . . . The G. & W. Bonspiel, first of its kind ever held at the local curling club, proved a very successful event on Saturday, with sixteen local rinks competing for the six sets of prizes and the rules of the event giving the new curlers a fine chance to get into 3-game bonspiel action .'. . Oshawa Skating Club's figure skaters made a re- spectable showing in the Canadian Championships at Vancouver but failed to cop any of the top laurels . . . Emil Martel, of Loretteville, Quebec, won the 100-mile dog sled derby at Ottawa on Saturday, beat- ing out a strong list of U.S. and other Canadian entries to the Inter- national event . . .

He won a special award for sheer courage. McCooey started the race along with 19 others with a handicap that would discourage most persons -- an artificial leg. His right leg was amputated below the knee after an automobile accident when he was seven, Before the race McCooey said he would buy a new leg if he copped the $1,000 first prize. He finished 11th. However, he will be able to buy a new leg anyway. At a banquet, he was presented with a $200 cheque as the "gamest driver in the race." The award was made by W. R. (Bob) Ballard, Toronto sportsman . .. Willie Sh ker, the taciturn Texan, will receive the second annua] George Woolf Memorial Award at Santa Anita today as the outstanding jockey of 1950, Southern California turf writers conferred the honor Shogmaker, who tied with Joe Culmone as the country's leading rider last year ... . At Davos, Switzerland, Hjalmar Andersen, powerful 29-year-old Norwegian truck driver, skated through snow and slush Sunday to win the world speed-skating championship for the second straight year. Andersen clinched the title by winning the 10,000 metre event after finishing second in the 1,500-metre race in the morning, The Norwegian star won the 5,000-metre grind Saturday. * * * At Columbus, O., the world swimming records were broken Saturday as Ohio State defeated Iowa 52-32 in a dual meet. Dick Cleveland, lanky Ohio freshman, churned the 100-yard free-style in :49.6, one-tenth of a second under Alan Ford's accepted record, set in 1944. Jackie Taylor of Ohio did the 100-yard backstroke in :56.5, compared to world mark of :56.8 set by Adolph Keifer in 1944 . . . Paul Kelley's Gangway, run- ning last at the half-mile mark, roared up on the outside in a great finish Saturday to win the $25,000 McLennan Handicap at Hialeah racetrack before a crowd of 21,337. Gangway, in the mutuel field, covered the 13% miles in 1:49 2/5 and paid $20.80, $8.20 and $4.50 . . . Ruth Lilly captured the $50,000 Santa Susana stakes Saturday when hard luck struck wealthy Alfred G. Vanderbilt for the second straight week-end at Santa Anita. Ruth Lilly racing against 10 rival three- year-old fillies, was awarded the victory and its rich net prize of $41,700 when Vanderbilt's fast-closing Sweet Talk was disqualified out of first place and moved back to third. Just a week ago Vanderbilt's prize four-year-old Bed O'Roses went lame just as it appeared she might burst into the lead and capture the $205,700 Santa Anita maturity ... i Detroit Scores Two Victories Over Weekend By MEL SUFRIN Canadian Press Staff Writer It looks more and more as if Dick Irvin, coach of Montreal Can- adiens, was right when he said De- troit Red Wings were better than Toronto Maple Leafs. : Detroit which has been carrying on a season-iong feud with Toron- to for the National Hockey League's No.. 1 spot; scored two victories dur- ing .the week-end, one of them over the Leafs, the other over Boston Bruins. Both were done in neat, fashion and both were by the score of 2-1. The Toronto game gave Detroit a season's edge over the second-place Leafs of five victories st three losses with three ties. Other week-end games (saw Mon- treal Canadiens drop a pair, one to New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden 3-1 Sunday night; the other to the Bruins in Boston 6-0 Saturday night; and Chicago Black Hawks take a 5-3 beating from Toronto. Result of the five games leaves Detroit on top, seven points ahead of Toronto, Boston 20 points back in third place, Montreal and Chi- cago well down in the cellar 11 points beneath the Rangers. Stave Off Leafs The consistency of Detroit play was apparent to the 14,577 Toronto fans Saturday night as the Red Wings held a margin in the first two periods when they scored both their goals, then staved off desper- ate Leaf thrusts in the final period. Left Winger Ted Lindsay and Rookie Glen Skov scored for the Wings, their two goals coming about for minutes apart in the sec- ond period. Tod Sloan got one for Toronto with less than four minutes in tie game. In Boston Sunday night, Gordie Howe, brilliant right winger and league leading scorer, came up with both Detroit goals as Bruins took their first home-ice loss since Dec. 17. Howe, who now has 28 goals, scored one, 41 seconds after the game started. Vic Lynn tied it up at 12:58 and the teams played fast, scoreless hockey until only two minutes and 33 seconds remained when Howe got the winner on a pass from Syd Abel.

FOR THE VERY BEST NO. 1 STOVE OIL 78 Bond St. West ON SPORT > 7d Having witnessed the rather rugged defeat of the Irish jun-.. iors at the hands of the Queen's University club in the first half of a basketball twin-bill at the latter's gym in Kingston on Saturday evening, we saw an exhibition of top-form cagery by the Senior Intercollegiate clubs of Queen's and Western. Western won the game to keep their unaefeated streak in College play intact, and to also retain their champioaship in the hoop sport. Bob Phibbs, that controversial character, was top star for the Metras' club and played a pow- erful driving game all the way. He had a great deal of help from centre Harry Wade who played a deep centre position and cut quickly up to the post spot, or faded to the side to help in loading operations as the play demanded. One thing was noticeable in comparing the junior game with that. of the senior , . . the fact that the vast majority of shots taken by the older teams were of 'the short lay-up type. They didn't depend on long loopers to build up their score. They worked the ball in close and then shot from places where they were almost sure of scor- ing. . They knew the areas and used. them . . , a prime requisite in scoring field goals . . . and winning games. Vv This evening at the Oshawa Arena, the Oshawa Bees play Belleville Rockets in the last scheduled game of "B" hockey for local fans. Just because it will be the last game here before the play-offs doesn't mean that it will be a poor one . . . far from it. This tussle will go a long way to deciding which teams meet which in the Central "B" ue semi-finals. Not only that, but it pits against each other, the two bitterest rivals of the past two years of Cen- tral League hockey. Last season, you'll remember, the Oshawa Bees looked very ordinary against the Rockets all through the schedule and then through great team play elimi- hated that club in the play- offs, * p This year the story has run along very much the same lines « «+ 80 far, But Belleville are out to make the ending a lot different and they feel a win here tonight will go a long way in beginning to give the right twist to the tale this season. They could be right, but the local crew are heading onto the #ce with victery in their looks. Fred Etcher, leading scorer in the league is out to crack the 50-point mark for the season and that mcans the Rockets hadn't better fizzle else they'll be reading last year's play-off script.
