Se nwr em TT ---- THE DAILY TIMES-CAZETTE ' TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1951 Oshawa Generals travel up to St. Catharines tonight to tackle the Teepees in a league fixture. On Friday the Generals are playing in Guelph and then on Saturday night, Teepees play back here in Oshawa. At the moment, St. Catharines are perched in 8th place with a total of 19 points, two less than Barrie and five more than the Oshawa Generals, The way things have been going lately, it would appear that St. Kitts are in a slump just now the same as Oshawa and if such holds through this week, then this is a chance for the erals to catch up. For instance, if they could win tonight in St. Kitts and then defeat Teepees again here on Saturday night, that would move Oshawa up to within one point of the Garden City crew in the Junior "A" standing. * + LJ Other games this week find Waterloo visiting Kitchener (that's a mighty short trip) tonight and on Wednesday, Barrie Flyers are in Windsor while Galt plays Marlies and Guelph meets St. Mike's in the doubleheader at Maple Leaf Gardens. Galt goes to Kitchener on Friday night and St. Catharines have to play in Barrie on Friday night before visiting. Oshawa on Saturday. The big game of the week to the top teams will be the Sunday afternoon clash at Maplé Leaf Gardens when Marlies meet St, Mike's--and what do you want for Christmas, boys? * *» They've built up "Turk Broda Night"--which in conjunction with the game-before-Christmas Young Canada night, promises to bulge Maple Leaf Gardens this Saturday--until they not only might set an attendance record, since the "Turkey" is one of the most popular players to ever leave any NHL team while still in or close to his hey-day but for sure they're going to be putting on the best night ever seen in Toronto's hockey wigwam. They're giving Broda a new automobile but there are also sn many other gifts that the car will need to be a 10-ton truck to hold "em all. It's a fine thing, a real gesture of goodwill"and as an old admirer of Turk Broda, we certainly do not begrudge him a single item, but particularly at this time of the year, one can not help put wonder of other former sport greats who aren't even eating regu- larly, let alone being flooded with gifts. * +* * BRIGHT BITS -- Over in London yesterday, three "blokes" who were convicted in Old Bailey Court for trying to make money by doping the dogs in the grehound races, were each given prison terms, two of them getting two years. They don't fool with "the dopes" or "the dopers" over there! ... The way the various baseball stars of the Big League teams are stepping to the- sidelines would indicate that there are now several openings for new stars, young baseball luminaries, to appear on the horizon and maze a name for themselves. The old rocking-chair lineup is getting longer, with such new additions now as Joe DjMaggio, Charlie Keller, Bobby Doerr, Joe Page, Johnny Vander- meeF, with Lou Boudreau, Marty Marion and a host of others ready to Join them . . .

Peterborough Petes whipped Kingston 15-4 last night to lead THEY'VE EACH GOT A FOOTBALL TEAM BUT THEY'LL LIKELY NEVER HAVE GAME| By DOUGLAS HOW Canadian Press Staff Writer Helmstedt, Germany (AP) -- A gallant Irish gentleman once held a beautiful Frenchwoman's hand for six solid hours in the name of democracy at this spot in a Ger- man forest where the free world ends and the Soviet world begins. He also confounds the Russians by asking for matchboxes and football games. It is pure, but fortunate coinci- dence for democracy that it has Capt. Leo Douris, an Irish repub- lican in the service of His Bri- tannic Majesty, to guard its fron- tier and to see that nothing hap- pens to allied personnel who pass beyond his check point to go the 110 miles 'to Berlin or to come back again through Red territory. But it's tough on the Russians who operate their own check point a few yards away on the great two - lane highway (autobahn) which runs from Berlin to the Rhine. Por Capt. Douris is an engaging fellow but very Irish. He's been here two years now and he quickly formed the basic conclusions that (A) It is folly to act the gentle- man with the Russians (B) You've got to be tough (C) They're terrified of an incident be- cause several officers have been pulled off the job and sent to jenal battalions. Douris tells the matchbox story as typical of the Russian mind. He asked an officer for a Soviet matchbox for a friend who col- lects them. For days the Russian kept asking the real reason he wanted it. The story of the beautiful woman is that she had flown into Berlin and came out by road and the Russjans held her up. Douris ad- vanced into the Soviet zone, grabbed her out of the car and for six hours held her hand with one hand and banged desks and ges- tured with the other until he got her through' Soviet red tape. "She wrote me later," Douris smiles, 'and said she was happy to find that not only the French are gallant gentlemen." He has noted a gradual drying up of even perfunctory conversa- tions after business and he's never obtained the football game he's long been seeking between his staff and the Russians. "But where," the Russian of- ficer finally said, "could we play?" "In the nearest village on either side of the bridge". "Oh no," said the Russian dnd then his eyes lit up. The game could be played on the bridge be- tween the two check points. "And what," asked the Irish- man, 'would we do about chang- ing ends at half time?" There will be no football game.

Nesterenko's Diet : From Track Days Sours Leaf Brass Toronto (CP) -- Yogurt, grapes and apples -- that's hockey player Eric Nesterenko's diet for energy, much to the unhappiness of Tor- onto's hockey brass. The youthful right winger of Tor- onto Marlboros Ontario Hockey Association Junior A club being groomed for the jump to Toronto Maple Leafs, became a yogurt- grape-apple convert as a track man under Coach Lloyd Percival. Under- weight for hockey, he again took up the Percival -prescribed diet. His weight went up, but not enough to convince Marlboro and Leaf officials that it was because of the new diet. The brass objects that while the diet may be fine for a track man, it's no good for a hockey player with three tough games a week.
