CAN LITTLE BLONDE HOMEBREW DO IT? Bobby Attersley, leading scor- er of the Oshawa Generals last year, is making a determined effort this season to capture the Ed. Powers Memorial Trophy, es the league's leading scorer and if he does, in the minds of most of the sports-writers and radio men around the Junicr "A" circuit, he will be No. 1 choice for "The "Red Tilson Memorial Award. The centre-ice smoothie boost his. total of scoring points and try to overtake Galt's Jim McBurney, who at the present moment leads Attersley by eight points, McBurney will be performing against K-W Green- shirts tomorrow night so Bobby Attersley is going to have to work especially hard in his game | against St. Mike's here Satur- day night, if he is to keep add- ing to his own total and at least stay within reach of his rival. of the Oshawa Generals will get Photo by Dutton--Times Studio @ big chance tomortow night to EVERYTHING FROM'SOUP'TO NUTS" Only one Junior "A' game was played last night and that was down | in Quebec City, where the Citadels wallopdd the St. Catharines Teepees | Rota 14-2. The licking was the worst suffered by the Teepees in a couple of years or more and just about the worst licking any Junior "A" team has suffered this season , . . and we do mean "suffered". We'll pet Rexie Stimers and Rudy Pilous were in agony, throes of pain, with each of those eight. goals the Citadels 'scored in the second period and the seven more scored in the third session. Tonight Marlboros visit Guelph and - Windsor plays up in Barrie and we expect that the Dukes and Flyers, two top clubs in the circuit, will win these games, thus keeping "the pack" off Oshawa's heels, but Biltmores just might upset the Marlies and they'll certainly be trying to cut down that 4-point margin that separates Guelph and Oshawa at present. Montreal Royals are in Kitchener tonight. Tomorrow, St. Mike's visit Oshawa Generals; the Greenshirts play in Galt and Teepees visit Three 'Rivers. On Sun- day, Oshawa plays Marlboros at the Gardens and Galt plays St. Mike's » » «+ Watch for B-B Day! . + * What a glorious week-end build-up this is for the OHA Junior "A" scoring race, Every time Bobby Attersley starts up the 'ice to- morrow night there'll be about two thousand fans come up out of their seats and start screaming for a goal. The little blonde home- brew has caught the fancy and imagination of a lot of hockey fans who up until a couple of weeks ago, were only mildly interested in the fate of the Generals this year. Now the team has gone on a winning streak and zoomed up into 6th place and a playoff berth and on top of that, Bobby Attersley has taken over 2nd place in the OHA scoring race, The winner of this title each year gets The Eddie Powers )emorial Trophy and very often the player that leads the scoring is also named winner of The Red Tilson Memorial Award, No Oshawa player has ever won this honor--although Pete Piguett and Alex Delvecchio both deserved it and should have been named the winners, in our humble opinion, because both were just what the trophy calls for, "the most valuable to their team and an ex- ample of sportsmanship and gentlemanly play". If Attersley can win the scoring championship and Eddie Powers Trophy--that will be the first time this has ever been won by an Oshawa "homebrew". We've had other top scorers in OHA hockey before today but in recent years of special trophies, no local boy has quite made it .. . Watch for B-B Day! : * +> * Not only will Attersley get a chance to add to his point total to- morrow night--but any points he may get will likely be very much needed. The Generals will be out to increase their winning streak and a triumph over the St. Mike's Majors would really be something--but it's really something to do too! In 3rd place at the moment, St, Mike's have got to keep winning to hold that spot while the Generdls need the win to make sure they stay up ahead of Guelph and Windsor. Attersley wants the points so 'that he can win that scoring champion- ship. He's seven points behind Jim McBurney now and the pair are making it a three-way race with Orval Tessier of Barrie. McBurney w:ll be playing against the lowly K-W Greenshirts, on his own Galt ice tomorrow night, so the Oshawa scoring ace must realize that he'll have "0 notch two or,three points in this game against St. Mike's to keep up with what McBurney will likely do against Kitchener. Then on Bunday afternoon, Attersley and the Generals will be opposing the Marlboros while McBurney and the Black Hawks play against St. Mike's on Sunday afternoon, Yep--it makes for a very interesting week-end end the biggest crowd of the season at Oshawa Arena tomorrow night-- to cheer the Generals to a victory and to boost Bobby Attersley in his bid for the scoring title.

'Oshawa Truckers "Decision Second-Place Clippers 5-4 Oshawa's red-hot Smith Truck- men beat back a valiant threat by the second-place Stouffville Clip- pers last night with a 5-4 decision in their OHA Senior 'B' group game played at the Oshawa Arena last night. The Clippers now trail the dengue, : leaders by some nine points '|lit looks very muchas if even they won't be able to catch the front- runners during the regular sched- ule. Last night the Truckers made it look simple through a thrilling first period when they slammed in three goals to take a comfortable lead. The Clippers broke into life half- way through that period to make it 3-2 and the Oshawans were just lucky to get the tally at the close of' the period to make it 4-2. In the second stanza, the Stouff- ville team proved just how lucky that was by changing that two- goal deficit to a 4-4 tie as the in- destfuctable Nick Bangay paced the action. It was thrill-packed hockey all the way. BREAK DEADLOCK In the final period, the Truckers broke the deadlock in the early minutes when Bill Peters checked the puck away from an enemy and flipped ahead to Jack Thaler. The latter lifted it over to Frank Hoop- er coasting in swiftly on left wing. "Sonny" kept drifting with the puck until Blake Eatough in the enemy twine started his move . . . then Hoop let 'er go. The puck banged against the centre post back of the net so hard that it rebounded out . , . out to the face-off circle on the other side of the rink! That was the goal that won the game. The Truckers stuck to fine defensive hockey for the remaind- er of the game and in the last three minutes really had their hands full when the Stouffville team .tossed every man back into the fray. It ended on that note and the large crowd yelped their delight. League - leading scorer Gerry Scott of the Truckers added two points to his total with a goal and an assist. Hooper and Thaler also picked up the same number of points. OPENS FIRST PERIOD Gerry's goal opened the scoring in the first period . . . it was a quick - thinking - type backhander from in framt of the net. Thaler's goal to make it 2-0 was a tip-in off puck didn't need the tip . . . it was already in. Percy Nichols got the third goal | : on one of the prettier rushes of the night . . . a solo dash with the characteristic .whirling backhand finish that seems to climax his ef- forts of late. Nick Bangay, big gun for the losers, got the first of his two goals on a pass from Rose at the 13.58 mark. Stark .made it very close with his tally at the 14.43 mark from Nick and Minton. Came the late minutes of the period and Ernie Dickens kicked in with one of his now-famous 'from - the - point - long -'shots®. Scott made the pass-out and Ernie nearly parted the rigging behind Eatough with the shot.

Early in the National Hockey League season they settled com- fortably in the league'cellar, a spot cynics claim they almost have re- served season after season, But now and then the Blue Shirts stage an uprising. Thursday night was one of those nights for Bill Cook's boys. They downed the league-leading Red Wings 8-2 at Detroit in New York's biggest scoring spree of the sea- son. In both their two previous starts the Rangers had been shut out, While the Wings were dropping their first home game to the Ran- gers in more than a year, Mont- real won its second straight game Landy to Attempt Four-Minute Mile PERTH, Australia (AP)--John Landy, whose attempt Saturday to set a world record for the mile has created world-wide interest, got a break today. He drew lane No. 1 against eight other contestants for the Australian mile championship. Thus the 22-year-old Melbourne university student should avoid any early jostling for a clear run in his attempt to lower Gunder Haegg's world mark of 4:01.4. Although in the past he has run on cinders Landy is pleased with the condition of the Leederville oval grass track. Hot weather was forecast for Saturday with a late breeze off the ocean at mace timt, 4:25 p.m. (3:25 a.m, EST). The breeze may prove a big fao- tor in Landy's record attempt be- cause he will have to run against it four times. The finishing run will be into the prevailing breeze, Four officials' stopwatches will clock Landy. Even if he is unable to crack Haegg's time, Landy will be out to better the Australian record of 4:09 and his own as yet unrecog- nized time of 4:02.2, set Dec. 13.

In the night's other game, the smallest crowd of the season at Boston, 6,101, watched Chicago Black Hawks and the Bruins play to a 3-3 tie. The Red Wings' drubbing was one of the most one-sided they have ever suffered at home. Paul Ronty and Jack Stoddard led the New York attack with two goals each, Wally Hergesheimer, rookie Aldo Guidolin, Neil Strain and Hy Buller each counted one in the scoring scramble. For Detroit, vet- jerans Ted Lindsay and Gordie | Howe were the marksmen. Montreal's victory over Toronto pulled them five points ahead of third-place Chicago. Maurice Rich- ard scored twice for Montreal with Floyd Curry and Elmer Lach pro- viding the others. Toronto's old pro, centre Max Bentley, back in action only a short time after a six-week layoff with an injured back, scored the Leaf goal. Jerry Couture was the margin in Chicago's squeezing a tie at Bos- ton. He scored two of the Hawks goals, including the tying one, both in the third period while Hal Lay- coe was in the penalty box.

Cits Wallop Teepees14-2 By THE CANADIAN PRESS Could be Wally Hergesheimer of New York Rangers should stay close to the top in the National Hockey League scoring race. Be- cause Thursday night, right-winger Michel Labadie of Quebec Cita- delles, a Ranger farm club'in the Quebec Junior Amateur Hockey Association, set himself an eight- goal record as the Cits downed St. Catharines Teepees 14-2. The game was one played under the interlocking JAHA Ontario Alnateyr Hockey Association sched- ule. The 20-year-old Labadie's record for goals scored in a single game was one better than that formerly held by Bernie Geoffrion of Mont- real Canadiens of the NHL and Jean Beliveau of Quebec Aces of the Quebec Senior League. Labadie played on a {end-lease basis with the Rangers a few weeks ago. A teammate, Abbie Kukulo- wicz, who also did a stint with the NHL club, didn't do so badly either. He scored two goals and set up three others. Three of Labadie's goals were unassisted and he chalked up an assist. Roland Leclerc, J. Doyon, Gabby Alain and Jacques Pichette were the other Citadelles scorers. Brian Cullen and Billy Haas tallied for Teepees. The victory moved Quebec clo- ser to the first-place Montreal Canadiens who were idle. In the Quebec and Ontario Junior leagues tonight, Toronto Marlboros play at Guelph, Windsor plays at Barrie and Montreal Royals play at Kitchener.

In the second stanza, Higgins drew a tripping penalty, the only penalty of the game. Thornton's wilted under the pressure and Harmony ripped in three more goals, Reynolds scored with help from Greentree and Allman, then Reynolds assisted Allman to a goal and this big scoring line for Harmony notched their fourth goal late in the game, Greentree scor- ing, with Reynolds and Allman assisting.

Vic Lynn Has Played For All NHL Teams CHICAGO (AP)--Vie Lynn of Chicago Black Hawks is the only player to perform for all the Na- tional Hockey League teams. The circuit was completed for the 27-year-old left-winger last week when the Hawks obtained him from Cleveland: Barons of the American League. As a 16-year-old, Lynn had a one-game trial with New York Rangers in the 1941-42 NHL sea- son. He played three games with Detroit Red Wings in 1942-43, two with Montreal Canadiens in 1945-46 and then had a four-season fling with Toronto Maple Leafs. He was with Boston Bruins for little more than a year. Then after dropping to the minors, he got his chance with the Black Hawks last week. Lynn, who hails from Saskatoon is a 178-pounder who skates fast and rough.

In the best Bantam game of | the season, in City League action, | Centre Street School nosed out Rit- | son Road 2-1 yesterday afternoon at | the Oshawa Arena. It was a spirited game with some hard checking and a few penalties resulted. Barriage and F. Chasc- zewski were the offenders for Rit- son Road, the latter being confined to the penalty box to be much help to his team in the tough going, as | he drew down no fewer than three penalties in the game. Jackson and Mountenay of the winners were also given terms, proving Centre Street was not en- tirely "pure" either. McDonald scored from Newey, for Ritson's orphan tally while Scott got the first one for Centre | Street, unassisted, and then later passed to H. Wilson, for what prov- ed to be the winning goal.

TORONTO (CP)-~The nine-team field in the Ontario Hockey Asso- ciation Junior A race has played two-thirds of its 56-game schedule but there's still a wide-open scramble for the six playoff Dosi- tions. Only a complete collapse could knock Toronto Marlboros, Barrie Flyers and Toronto St. Michael's out of contention. At the other end of the ladder, only a miraculous show of strength would lift Kitch- ener-Waterloo Greenshirts out of the cellar into the running. That leaves the real fight for the remaining three playoff spots between five clubs which now stand in this order behind the two Tor- onto entries and Barrie: St. Cath- arines Teepees, Galt Black Hawks, Oshawa Generals, Guelph Bilt- mores and Windsor Spitfires. The teams also play a home- and-home series with four Quebec teams, Quebec Citadelles, Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Royals and Three Rivers Reds, and points from these games count on their records. Marlboros have a strong lead over the second-place Flyers and don't look as if they are going to be caught. If the Dukes continue to play the way they have so far they will end up with more than 80 points out of a possible 112. The loss of Eric Nesterenko to the parent Toronto Maple Leafs hasn't been felt by the Dukes as yet. The colorful right winger moved up to the National Hockey League club Jan. 7, and since then the Marlboros have won four of the five games played. The fifth was a 1-1 tie with Barrie. Three good reasons for Barrie's success this year are forwards Orv | Tessier, Dqug Mohns and Don Mc- Kenney. They're all on the current ten top scorers list, St. Michael's men also on the list are centre Jack Caffery and winger Murray Costello. Jim McBurney, flashy left winger with Galt Black Hawks, tops the scorers' list and Marl- boros' Wally Maxwell has the most assists.
