M0 THE DAILY TIMBES-GAZETTE, Monday, March 38, 1088 EVERYTHI NG FROM SOUP TO NUTS" Oshawa Smith Truckmen put the "clincher hold" on the Eastern Ontario OHA Senior "B" group honors and playoff rights with a sparkling 8-3 victory over the Kingston Goodyears, here on Saturday night, before a large crowd, second biggest crowd to watch the Truckers in action this season. Kingston held the Truckers even in the first period and put on a brilliant display in the second stanza but they fell short of actually putting the puck in the net. They gave the Truckmen and their fans a lot of anxious moments in those first 30 minutes of the game but after that the Goodyears faded and in the final period Oshawa had an - edge which clinched the victory. Now the Truckers go back to Kingston tonight for the 5th game of the series and a win for Oshawa will wind #t up. If the Goodyears survive tonight, then the 6th game will be played here in Oshawa this Wednesday night. They cleaned up a lot of hockey doubts over the week-end, with the NHL teams deciding their Stanley Cup playoff contenders, Toronto Leafs thrilled their fans with a brilliant fighting finish, They did all that could be asked--they won their last four games and did it convincingly too. They blanked Rangers 5-0 on Saturday and then won right in Boston last night -- but i was too late. Boston Bruins and Chicago Black Hawks are both in the Stanley Cup playoffs and neither of them slid in the back door either. Boston won over Canadiens right in Montreal on Saturday night with Flem Mackell's late goal winning that ome 2-1 while Chicago had an even tougher road to hoe--and they made it. They beat Detroit on Saturday night, came from behind in the 3rd period to do M and then went into New York last night and beat Rangers 3-1 to olineh their playoff berth, In the OHA Junior "A" playoffs, Barrie Flyers hung a stinging defeat on the Marlboros, winning right on Toronto ice Saturday 6-2 to take a strangle-hold on that series. Barrie needs only more win to clean up that round and the next game is in Barrie Wednesday night. Marlboros have to win the next three games %0 that series. In the other bracket, St. Mike's defeated Galt Black Hawks yesterday afternoon 6-3 to regain a one-game lead in their round, with the 4th game scheduled for Galt ice tomorrow night and Just when everybody figured they would romp through to the title.

Among fish taken were 38 sea lam- 99 whitefish. Lamprey on the whitefish to- talled 65. Mr. Budd's report mentioned that sea lampreys had been ob- served at various times attached to the boat. At first, it was thought that the lampreys had left fish taken in the nets, as the nets were lifted, and attached themselves to the nearest object, in this case the hull of the boat. Later, however, the report pointed out, lampreys were found attached to the boat when dry gangs of nets were being set. Since sea lampreys have no swim bladder, it was concluded that these individuals must have been swimming actively in the vi- cinity near the surface. Similar conditions of prevalence were reported from the Stokes Bay area by Seymour Knight, a com- mercial fisherman of that port, who co-operated in the investiga- tions. Knight's report stated that: '"'Lampreys were ve: numerous here during July and August. A large percentage of whitefish show- ed fresh scars. At times, five to six lampreys could be seen attach- ed to the stern of the boat." Budd's report emphasized that single counts with limited num- bers of fish from a few areas leave much to be desired and expressed the hope that similar counts might be made at regular intervals throughout the commer- cial fishing seasons in various loca- tions. Such surveys, the report sug- gested, if carried out over a period of years, could provide a means of measuring changes in lamprey abundance and might prove use- ful in evaluating such future con- trol measures as the Department may undertake. Past observations, Mr. Budd stated in his report, indicate a possible migration of lampreys along the south shore of Manitou- lin Island toward Georgian Bay. Georgian Bay fishermen take more lampreys during the fall than earl- ier in the season but, in general, lampreys seem to be less numer- ous in Georgian Bay than in Lake Huron proper or that part of the North Channel west of Little Current. The reasons for this distribution pattern are not definitely known at present but nearness to major lamprey spawning streams is sus- pecled. Ib wes thought thos v Murder Fish mation on the incidence of lam- prey-scarring over a wide area might be useful in follow pos- sible migration routes and, if con- tinued at regular intervals, might also provide an index to abun- dance. A report on September in- vestigations carried out in Lake Huron from the North Channel west of Little Current to Georgian Bay will be released at an early ate. Mild Winter, Plenty of Deer TORONTO -- Deer in the Pinus Lake area, Pipestone Crown Game Preserve, seem to be wintering well, are plentiful and in good con- dition, according to a report from District Forester Delahay, Fort Frances, to Department of Lands and Forests headquarters here. The district forester's report sta- ted that the reason why the deer are in such good condition is prob- ably because mild weather persist- ed for a large part of the winter. Snow in the bush was but 8 inches in depth most of the time. The deer, therefore, did not "yard up," as is their custom when snows are deep, but ranged widely feeding on marsh growth (especially joint- weed) that remain exposed above snow level. It was noted that the browsing of buds and twigs on the bushes, which become the main food source of deer when "yard- ed", appears very light this year and the leaves of conifers have been almost totally ignored so far. Conservation officers make fre- quent inspections of Crown Game Preserves in Ontario during the winter to discourage their use by poachers and to gather wildlife management data. During a recent patrol of the Pipestone Preserve, fresh tracks of four wolves were observed crossing Pinus Lake but conservation officers making the inspection could find no indication that the wolves had attacked or molested any deer of which there were also numerous tracks. Similar reports of good winter- ing conditions for deer have been received from many other parts of the province, according to De- partment wildlife management of- ficials. "Because the does seem {to be wintering strongly, a fine |erop of sturdy fawns may be ex- | pected this Spring," they say. By THE CANADIAN PRESS Remember When, . . Boston Bruins won their first NHL championship 24 yess ago tonight by winning their third | straight league playoff game over | Montreal Maroons, 3-2. Bruins had taken the first two games by identi- cal 1-0 scores. The Bruins, then coached by Cy Dennenay, went on |to defeat New York Rangers twe ! the Stanley Oup final. | Saturday | side of tied 1-1. and [LEAD SET 3-1 A second period goal while the: were short a man netted the Smi Truckmen a tie and they went on from there to defeat the Kingston Goodyears 5-3 at the Oshawa Arena night, The victory 3-1 stranglehol seven OHA Senior championship finals. The fifth and what could be de- ciding game will be played in King- ston tonight. Finding their forward lines being shadowed to death in the first per- iod and during the first half of the second, Coach Ab Barnes sent out his defence pair into the enemy zone ahead of the forwards and fed the puck up this way . . . leaving a forward back on defence. The unusual system paid-off with quite a few Goodyear players being left behind and out of play when 3 Rick cartier was near their net. "GEN ON TOP Defenceman Don McBeth capi- talized in this manner, picking u two goals and assisting on a Later in the game, the Goodyears abandoned their check-check style and immediately the Production Line of Scott, Samolenko and Wil- son hit the score-sheet . . , and George Samolenko, dipsy-doodler on the line, grabbed two goals, Wil- son potted one and assisted on one. Gerry Scott, who was watched like a hawk got one assist. Still, three goals out of five isn't too bad. Most dangerous man for the Goodies was again Captain George McGregor. Time and again in the first and second periods he swoop- ed in on Oshawa goalie Jack Nay- lor for what d have been a decisive marker. Jack was always sharpest when he saw that particular player com- ing. However after Don McBeth bat- ted home Frank Hooper's pass to made ¥% 10 in the first period, Lg had his troubles. THE GAME Joe Watts of Kingston was shunt- to the sin bin for interference, and instead of Oshawa doing the pressing, Kingston did. Lendry in- tercepted an Oshawa pass in the Kingston end, fed Ken Partis on the left wing and that worthy skated into the clear, He whi the puck into the far net and the game was ave the Smitties a on their best-of- "B" Eastern GEORGE SAMOLENKO « + « potted a pair DON MoBETH oso got two too From that point on till halfway through the tussel, the Goodyears had just about everything their own way . . . but they only capitalized once. The goal that put Kingston ahead 2-1 occurred at the 2.38 mark of the second period when Walfl Gerow let a long fast shot into the net. Jack Naylor never saw it come or go . . . his vision was completely blocked on a lovely screen-play. Around the 10-minute mark, the tide began to turn. Kingston was' tiring fast and the Truckers were rolling . . . downhill at top speed. If proof of this were needed, they scored the tying goal while they were short-handed! GREAT TWOSOME a Nichols was off for tripping and that great penalty-killing pair of Ron Nelson and Jack Thaler were sent out for duty. They really kill- ed the penalty . . . with great dex- i ey fished the puck away from the enemy and fed Don Mc- Beth in front of the net. '"Mac" sli it home from the scramble for his second counter of the night. The Oshawa crew were in high gear now and pulled out all the stops. The Production Line hit for their first goal when a terrific three-way, bang-bang play set Sa- molenko on the door-step. He fired on the move and followed the puck headlong into the net. The Truckmen thus led 3-2 going into the third period. Kingston relaxed their fore-check- ing in the third period and im- mediately the Oshawa long-pass be- came effective. Nichols scooped the puck ahea dto Jed Wilson. He beat puck ahead to Jed Wilson. He beat and fired, all in the same motion to best Johnston and make the score 4-2. . - George McGregor, who had a bushel of chances in the first two periods finally clicked for the losers on a solo end-to-end rush. . . the kind for which he is now justly famous, He skirted Ernie Dickens and beat Naylor on the far side to make it close at 4-8. GETS ROUGH The game got rougher and King- ston suffered the brunt of thé pen- alties. Watts and then Stewart were tootled off. While the latter was off, McBeth bl a long pass ahead to Samolenko and he beetled through the defence and in on John- ston for his second goal, and the one that salted away the victory. Johnston was terrific in the late moments of the game when Osh- awa pressed even more strongly than before. His saves bordered on the sensational and he well deserv- | ed some of the rounds of applause that came his way. The teams resume the set tonight Wild Scramble As Hab rs. Dump Cits 2-1 MONTREAL (CP)--Fans, official players teamed up at the Forum Sunday night to stage one of the wildest battles in the Quebec Junior Amateur Hockey Associ- ation's history as Montreal Cana- diens edged Quebec Citadelles 2-1 for their first vic playdowns. If was Claude Vinet's winning goal with eight seconds in the third period that started hassle. Quebec players, coach Phil Watson argued stron that the puck had not crossed Citadelles goal-line. . This resulted in a melee, involv- ing Watson, players and fans. The Cits now lead the best-of- nine series 2-1. As the game ended, severs]l Que- bec players stormed officials and defenceman Gerard Houle offered referee Sibbey Mundey his hockey stick, indicating the official played for Montreal during the game. Meanwhile, the crowd of more than 6,000 persons and hooted Apparently irked by ribs from spectators, Watson j into the stands and tangled with one. Sev- eral of his players joined him in the slugfest. See this, hundreds of fans streamed from their seats and charged across the ice to the Que- bec bench. The lights were im- mediately doused and a body of ushers managed to halt the up- rising. Robinson Denies Tension Reports MIAMI, Fla. (AP)--Jackie Rob- inson spoke out Sunday about his shift from second to third base, denying reports of racial tension and dissension on the Brooklyn ers. "What's good for the Dodgers is good for Robinson," he commented. "If the kid (Junior Gilliam) can hit 275, our club will be stronger with him on second base. He can get balls that I can't reach any more maybe two or three years ago but no more. After all, I've only got a couple years left. If I have to move I'd rather play third than first." As for racial trouble on the Dodgers, Robinson had this to say: "If we have racial trouble on our ball club, then the rest of th country should have the same thing. It just isn't so. Not with the kind of fellows we have on this m." EXHIBITION BASEBALL RESULTS Saturday At San Prancisco New York (N) 12 San Francisco 0 At Si Cal. , Cal. Hollywood (PCL) 6 8t.

Miss Vera Siblock must be psy- chic as she made up this poem as she made up this poem as she was bowling: If you take part in an activity and happen to lose; wil you try again, or simply re- use Can you play a game and settle for what's in store, Or do you have to worry about your score. Can you have fun without having to win Can you be a good sport, through thick and thin? The attitude you take, and things you do, Is important to others, and should be to you; People always like you for what you are-- A good loser is better, than a win- ner by far.

Africa's Toweel JOHANNESBURG (CP)--Jimmy Carruthers of Australia knocked out Vic Toweel of South Africa at 29 seconds of the 10th round Satur- day night to retain the world ban- tamweight boxing title he won from Toweel last November. The decisive victory demonstra- ted that Carruthers' (first-round knockout in their first meeting was no fluke. Toweel hinted that he is consid- ering retiring from the ring at the age of 25. "I am burnt up," he said. "I just ran out of gas, and it was physically impossible for me to i continue." He indicated he would have a con- | ference with his father and trainer, Mike Toweel, to decide his ring future.

E. Stirling Chatham was elected president the Ontario Baseball Association for 1953 'at the organisation's an- nual meeting Saturday. He succeeds W. PF. Nickel! Stratford who announced his ».- tirement at the meeting. C. G. Riddell of Milton was eleo- ted first vice-president, Tim Turow of Preston second vice-president and James Millman of London, Ont. third vice-president. The executive: F'. Bradley, Hamp ilton; J. Leask, Fort Erie; H. Mo» Mullen, Milton, and A, Walker, Oshawa. The association established a new series for the top-drawer oesnri series for the top-drawer senior teams to be known as the major series. Although any team may ene ter this new category it is likely that the Senior Intercounty League will be the only loop to operate in the 1958 major series. The move paved the way for 8 new senior A set-up, in which peting teams wouldn't be allo to use United States imports. To be eligible for the senior ses ies a player must be a bona-fide resident of the city or locality in which he plays by Jan. 15, and he must have been a continuous ress dent of Canada for one year prior to Jan, 15. A player may advance to the ma- jor series for three games, for which his senior A club will re- ceive payment of $10 a game. If he plays more than three games he must sign for the major series and will not be allowed to revert to a lower classification that sea- son. The major team with which the player signs must reimburse the senior club an additional $50. Any city with a population of 30. 000 or more must enter either the major or senior A series. Following a lengthy discussion the minor leagues the delega voted in favor of home-and-home series to declare champions in the B, C and D groups where time permits. Otherwise playoffs will be based on the tournament system. A recommendation that all pro- tests be disposed of within five days from the time the secretary receives the complete protest was approved. Reviewing the year's activities, Nickel called for closer considers- tion of the minors in the hope of {finding "some means of improving the financial position in ch oue minors find themselves." Treasurer Merrill Blank reported that the OBA operated with a profi¢ of $463 during 1952. The Stirling Trophy for the out standing coach in the province was presented by Stirling to Bud Mom rison of Petrolia, who handled five teams during the year and won championships in Peewee, B and intermediate divisions.
