40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Monday, December M, 1008 BEST GAME OF SEAS ON Kingston Goodyears Win 4-2 In Thriller Over Truckmen Rv GEORGE H. CAMPBY'L Kingston Goodyears climbed clos . «0 the top ia tne Lakcsiore OHA Senior "'B" group race when they won a 4-2 thriller over the Oshawa Truckmen on Saturday night in the best game of hockey seen in the Bowmanville Arena this season and perhaps in any season. - The win moved the defending Senior "B' champions up ahead of Orillia Pontiacs, a half-game be- hind the Truckmen, who have fall- en upon evil days in the past three weeks and have lost their last five starts. HARD AND RUGGED HOCKEY Saturday night's game, in th writer's opinion, was quite the best hockey game of the season and one that might quite easily have ' gone the other way, for as a mat- er of fact the Truckmen had a major share of the play and had more gangerous scoring chances than the Goodyears but they were thwarted by a combination of theif own just-off-the-mark shooting and a superb display of goal keeping by Kingson's Mr. Johnston. Another contributing factor was the rather inefficient and certain- ly inconsistent officialing. It was hard and rugged hockey all the way, with plenty of heavy check- ing. Some solid 'boarding' went unnoticed as did some glaring ex- amples of interference and slash- . Only seven penalties were met- out, five to Oshawa and of the seven, five penalties, all were min- or, were given for alleged '"'trips"' and at least three of these so-call- ed tripping offences were honest attempts to get the puck, made from in front, not behind 1' carrier and two of them saw the checker actually knock the puck off the opponent's stick -- which is the |Defensemen - Sinden and McBeth reason we thought the penalties given were very cheap. To make matters worse, the Truckmen were more victimized by these cheap penalties than the visitors. WHERE WAS THE WHISTLE Kingston tied the game late in the first period while Jed Wilson was serving one of the cheap pen- alties mentioned and it was Jed who was again in the sin-bin early in the second stanza when King- ston took the lead. Seconds prior to Wilson get- ting his second - period penalty, referee Ed. Hodgson, who was fre- gently caught far out in the mid- le of the ice, was knocked sprawl- ing by Gerry Scott, when the offi- cial failed to move into the clear as several players converged on the puck. The official no sooner got to his feet than he thumbed to the penalty box and in this stance, the Kingston nn' neither fell down nor was even im- peded by Wilson's chee. offence was termed '"'a trip'. Ken Partis made it 3-1 midway through the second riod when he fired a scorching shot past Les Colvin, after taking defenseman Nicholson's pass from close quar- ters. It was Nicholson who nad aided. Ohlke to get the tie-breaking goal, earlier in the period. Most glaring piece of inefficent officialing came in the third period when Bellringer got Kingston's fourth goal, the one that broke up the game, from a contention point. Les Colvin had lopped the shot but failed to smother the rebound. in- rushed to the loose puck as did a couple of Kingston players. They were all sprawled on ice -- in the crease. Sinden grabbed the puck once (should have had a pen- -- as he had avoided the play. TRUCKMEN FINISH STRONG Wilson | op o¢ alty for that) but it was knocked from under his hand by a player's stick, then the puck disappeared under the pile-up, again out of sight -- but Still no whistle. One Kfngson player was in the tangle of Jp ers that were in the crease and finally Bellringer, stand well inside the crease, got his stic! to the loose puck and pushed it over the line. Truckmen hotly disputed this goal but referee Hodgson had fin- ally found his whistle by this time, he ruled it a goal and referee Bos- hier remained out of the argument The Truckmen came back with a spirited drive after this reverse and coach Ernie Dickens made it 4-2 with a pretty solo rush and fine ot. For the balance of the game, the Oshawa forces stormed the King: ston citadel from all sides and on desperate checking and fine wor by goalie Johnston kept the Truck- men from getting back into the run- ning. Bill Berwick scored the first goal of the game, with a blazing shot from left-wing, after taking a clean ass from Don McBeth, who turned his best game of the season. George MacGregor tied it up on McKeown's pass, while Oshawa was short-handed, at the 16:14 mark of the period. Truckmen were at top strength for this one and they all played hard. McBeth, Sinden and Dickens were particularly strong on the rearguard and in carrying the puck out of their own end. Up front, the No. 1 Oshawa line was closely checked at all times but all three, Wilson, Scott and Samolenko came within inches on several hard-earn- ed chances. Paul Jago was the tough - luck prize er of the night, he hit the goal posts twice and another time lifted a loose puck over the top of the yawning net. Hooper was another who worked very hard, along with Hol- den, but just couldn't click. The Kingston team all played well also, with no outstanding stars except Johnston in goal. However, 'ellow, Nicholson and ke all played great hockey at the blue- line w up front, there were no stars but there were no weaklings either, FIRST PERIOD i 1. Oshawa, Berwick (McBeth) 7.31 2.

CKLB BEATS POLICE On Saturday t a double header was run off, and in the first game CKLB proved to be too powerful for the Police Asso- ciation Cadets as they handed the Cadets a 57-32 defeat. The win for CKLB gave them sole possession of fourth place in the standing, two points behind the third place Simcoe Hall Jr. Grads. The Radio boys were never in trouble throughout the game as they led 16-5 ai the end of the first quarter, 22-12 at the half and 31-23 at the end of the third stanza.
