RAPID ROBERTS MWEN ON SPORT v When we were down in King- ston the other day, talk of a Junior "B" hockey team Was already circulating: down the snort lanes of the city. "Just what thigysré-planning isn't too clear, But one thing is for sure, they weren't in the least satisfied with the group they were operating in last year. They'd lke to work in RED RAIDERS MAKING PLANS FOR EX. ACTION While Coach Bob ve has no pictures of the scheduled games to study like the Big Four coaches, he is still smart enough to recognize the mistakes his team has been making in each game and he has the squad practising faithfully try- ing to improve and correct these errors. During the past week, Cosgrove has been brushing the team up on pass defence and also trying to take the bugs out of the offensive line that has been losing the team so much yardage. Ronnie Houze and Geo. Morris, two of the coloured players that: méved into town back at the start of the séason have finally convinc- ed Coach Cosgrove that they are good enough to don a suit for a game and it would not be surpris- ing to see them play their first game against East York this coming Saturday. Incidentally, the Executive of the Red Raiders have not bgen success- ful in arranging an Exhibition game for this Tuesday with the O.AC. of Guelph but from all in- dications the game will be played at a later diate. Latest word from the Executive is that the RCEME. army team from Kingston will be playing here on Thanksgiving Day. While the RCEME. hive no league of their own, they fill in the season by playing exhibition games with Queen's University and the RM.C. of Kingston. From all re- ports they have a very good téam and should give the Red Raiders some very tough opposition. Mel Taylor, the import quarter- back from Toronto is really playing a smart brand of ball and a great deal of credit for the Red Raiders showing this year is due to his hard work. "Mel" really made a hit with the fans in the Orillia game and his hidden ball play had everyone in the park wendering who had the ball. Brodie and Loreno are still a pow- erhouse in the Oshawa backfield as they continue t6 run the ends or plunge in great style. Jim Cochrane turned in a véry nice game against Orillia and should improve with each outing. : Bill Rorabeck, after trying for several years to play in the back- field, is now turning out to be one of the best defensive men the Red Raiders have and his work last Tuesday was véry good. The whole defensive line deserve loads of cre- dit for the smart work they are doing this year and while they do not hit the headlines like the back- fielders, their record is shown in the standings with only one point being scored on them in three games.. At the same time they have been very instrumental in several of the Oshawa scores as they have blocked kicks and made the oppos- ition fumble to set the offensive team up in scoring pesition. While the offensive line has been very good in making holes in the opposition line, they have been a source of worry to Coach Bob Cos- grove as they continually game after game loose considerable yard- age by f{llegal blocking, clipping, holding etc, In order to cut down on the num- ber of penalties, Coach Cosgrove is going to chart the next game "against East York and the offenses will be kept track of and then Cos- grove can make the necessary changes in the line-up to avoid this. In all three games that the Red Rajders have played théy have lost nearly five hundred yards through these penalties and he realizes that this must stop before they play Co- Incidentally, quite a few people from Oshawa saw the Cobourg-Pe- terboro game on Saturday and the Red Raiders also had their seouts at this game. While "Killer" Kane turned in a fair job at quarter for Cobourg, he does not appear to handle the team the way Bob Coop- er has been and in turn Cooper seemed to be lost in the backfield although he is a tower of strength on the defensive and was very good at spoiling Peterboro's passing at- tack. From all reports, Coach Frang Gnup is really driving the Peter- boro team in practices and before very long they shold prove very powerful. He drives them in a nightly practise from seven till ten and for the least little miscue, the boys must make a lap around the half mile track. Anyone late to the practice field must also pay up for it and is also ordered so many turns around the track. Maybe Coach Bob Cosgrove could use some of the same tactics, for it always seems to be the same ones who are slow in getting on the field and now the Red Raiders have the heat on in the clubhouse it may be worse than ever. The Red Raiders next game is scheduled for Saturday when they invade East York and the Raiders are going all Gut for a win in order to keep pace with the high flying Galloping Ghosts of Cobourg. 'coming to the Sox are catcher Sher- the old grouping with Oshawa, Peterborough and the rest. A To our way of thinking, and probably a few other hockey héads in the district feel the same way, Kingston represents too long a trip for Oshawa amateur competition except perhaps in playoffs, We notioe that the Belleville scribe takes the viewpoint that, "It was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best "B" Froupings formed in these parts or years, with al teams of even calibre . . . Wwe strongly doubt if the participating clubs will entertain adding to their set-up." Reading between the lines, one might gather that he feels the Kingston Vics might not be the strongest club in the world. Which all might be true, but the word is out that the Vics have an affiliation with the Barrie Flyers. That won't help 'em too much since Barrie is now out of the Boston fold, but it might provide them with fi itd We think it's about time to stick out our meek and crow a little bit. Seems some months back . . . May, to be sure . . . we picked the following two clubs to par- ticipate in the Werld Series, and stuck with them through thick and thin, In the AL. Boston, and in the senior loop, New York. If we didn't crow right about new, everyone might forget that the Giants tied for the N.L. top. (Might forget that is, if they losé to the Brooks in this three- game play-off). Considering the fact that the "G'Iints", won the first of the set, 3-1, right ag Ebbet's Field, we feel very confident that they'll win at the Polo Grounds today and take the set in straight games. Beating out the Yanks and their tremendous bench strength in the Series will be a job for eithér the Giants or . the Brooks . . . and more espe- cially aftér this play-off. The short series means rest for the Yank meund staff and none for the oppesition. However, it's a fact thet no team that ever had to play a post-league play-off in the N.L., lost out. the World Series. Perhaps that bodes well for our boys. Ah yes, the Red Sox . . . well, they énded up third didn't they? CHECKLETS -- We'll repeat that notice of the other night. All bavketball officials and any- one interestéd in beeoming same, are asked to meet at the CRA Building on Gibbs Street, Wednesday, at 8:00 p.m. Bill Smith is anxious to get the tooters of the area organ- ized. Me wants to get a school started that will bring films, top officials and ¢oaches and OBA men here to teach pros- pective officials. Good idea? you bet. Spoke to Hareld McNeill at Simcoe Hall yesterday and. he reports the gymnasium to be completed. Yes, the contrac- tors have moved out . . , all that the teats are waiting for is the appearance of the back- boards. They've been ordered, but as always seems to be the cases with ordered goods these days . . . delivery is overdue. See where Ted O'Connor has igned with T Rockets of the PCL. He'll be teaming up with a lot of former USHL players. Since that league folded, they have been flocking in large numbers to the coast. One who récently signed with Tacoma is Doc Haldorson, for- mer Tulsa Oller star. Frank Heoper had an offer from Bestom Olympics, but turned it down. Which means he'll be available for the Transporter-London series. It opens in Londen Saturday with games at 3:00 pm. and 8:00 pm. and games back here on Monday (Thanksgiving Day). Brian Coggins, in the Meds course at U. of T., wouldn't be available for "away" night games with the Transporters, but a' home tilt in the evening or weekend games, home or away, would be his neat. + + + by Bob Rife. White Sox, Browns Make 8-Man Deal Chteago (AP) -- The Sun-Times sald today it "learned eéxclusive- ly" that the Chicago White Sox have closed a $300,000, eight-player deal with the St. Loyis Browns.
