PAC= TEN (HE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1951 sts amon dD PORT SNAPSHOT Br Geo. H. Camenzir ------ HH _ Oshawa Red Raiders did it--last night at the Kinsmen Civic Mem- orial Stadium midst a storm of snow and sleet, the Oshawa gridders finally earned a championship victory over their perennial rivals, the Cobourg Ghosts. They used to call em the "Gallopin' Ghosts" but who could gallop on that gridiron last night. The footing was treacherous and ball-receivers had to handle the passes, forward or hand-outs, with numbed fingers. However the Red Raiders triumphed and this is the first time since the Red Raiders were formed that they have been able to overthrow the Cobourg Ghosts for group honors. We predicted early in the season, after watching' the Red Raiders take a one-sided win over East York, that this year's edition of the Oshawa grid club was the Best they'd ever had and that finally, we could foresee a victory over Cobourg. It happened last night and the Cobourg boys proved themselves good sports--taking their first defeat in years (which is al- ways harder to take) with good grace and extending hearty congratu- lations to their old rivals. Now the Raiders meet Hamilton Panthers, coached by Merle Hapes, in the ORFU Inter, "A" championship finals. * * + Oshawa Generals travel to Windsor this morning, leaving early by train from Toronto, arriving in Windsor this afternoon and then tonight they tackle the Spitfires for the first time this season. This will be quite a memorable clash, this game tonight in Wind- sor between the two Detroit-sponsored Junior "A" OHA teams. Neither is setting the loop on fire this season, something unusual for both clubs to be so slow in the standing and one thing is certain, neither team wants the doubtful honor of being the absolute last. With this in mind, Generals will be gunning for a win tonight on Windsor ice while Skinner's Spitfires--who have already been warned that the trial period is over and that they must produce or start travelling--will be going all-out for a win over Oshawa. Come what may from tonight's game, the Generals face their big task on Sat- urday night of this week, when the Guelph Biltmores visit Oshawa. That's the game a lof of local pack patrons have been waiting to see, since the "Hatters" are picked as the team likely to win the Junior "A" title this season--if Toronto Marlboros fall. * < * , The only Junior "A" game played last night, was up in Kitchener, where the slidin' Greenshirts dropped a verdict to St, Michael's Col- lege Majors. But in the Senior ranks Kitchener-Waterloo Flying Dutch- men nosed out Owen Sound Mercurys 3-4 with Bobby Bauer again help- ing out -as playing-coach. In the only NHL game played last night, Boston Bruins held Detroit Red Wings to a goalless draw, on Boston {ete RAIDERS WIN EASTERN CONFERENCE TITLE RE _an®_ i B. mattingly Awarded ORFU OSHAWA CREW DOWN GHOSTS 13-11 INSNOW By BOB RIFE Talk about your muddy Grey Cup final last year for bad play- ing conditions! Why that gridiron didn't have a patch on the slush-ice covered mess that was Civic Stadium last night when the Red Raiders met Cobourg Ghosts in their league final. Oshawa played like the cham- pions they are, and pulled away to a 13-11 victory in the season's worst blizzard. It was the second win this sea- son for the Raiders over the Ghosts and marked the end of a football regime that has lasted for six years. EASTERN CHAMPS Oshawa takes over as the East- ern Conference champions , . . a post that has ,been Cobourg's al- most undisputed spot for many years. The locals meet Hamilton Panthers in the ORFU East-West Conference battle here this Satur- day at 2:30 p.m. In the first quarter last night, the snow was driving fiercely, but one. could still see patches of the field. The players could make relatively sharp turns and long gains were recorded around the ends.
