$0 THE DAILY TIMBS-QAZETTE, Monday, December 90, 1008 BACK IN FIRST PLACE Coach Ernie Dickens Scores Three As Truckmen Again Beat Kingston Although playing 'with only two centres, the Oshawa Truckmen still had far too much stuff for the Kingston Guodyears in a:-game at the Bowmanville Memorial Ar- ena Saturday ht and handed the Limestone City crew a sound 6-1 drubbing. It is doubtful if the Goodyears would have chalked up even their one lone tally if the Truckmen had stayed clear of the penalty box, since the counter came while Bill Peters and Don McBeth were both sweating it out in the sin bin. The decisive victory gave the Truckmen a firm grip on first place in the league again after they had slipped to the second spot for a brief period. They now lead the second-place Goodyears by DO DOUBLE DUTY The Motor City crew were short centres Wally Samanski and Paul Jago in Saturday night's game and Gerry Scott and Frank Hooper had to do extra tours of duty with the second line. Both of the big fel lows came through in fine fashion --especially Hooper. The rugged Bowmanville native ended a long home-ice scoring drought by bang- ing in two goals, within a minute late in the third period Playing Coach Ernie Dickens was the scoring star of the game, how- ever, as he played a heady, ag- gressive game to turn the hat trick with three goals. He notched two in the second and one in the third--all on long shots. In fact five of the six Truckmen tallie came on shots fired from 15 fee the Goodyear twipes looked bad on a couple of se long-range drives. first frame that scoreboard. "Sam- o fired this - first marker from only a few feet in- side the blue line. In the second period the Truck- men continued to force the play and Ernie Dickens got his first goal at 10.35 on a screen shot from about 15 feet out. Jack Thaler and Gerry Scott drew assists on the tally. Ernie came through again just 64 seconds later on a long drive from near the blueline, after tak- ing a pass from Gerry Scott. Jack Thaler also got an assist on the oal. This was the final score of e second stanza and it ended with the Truckmen ahead 3-0. TWO PENALTIES HURT At 5.45 of the third frame Bill Peters was waved off for eivo ing, and 25 seconds later Referee Jim "Ticker" Crombie sent Don McBeth to the cooler for high- sticking. The Goodyears put on the pressure while enjoying two-man advantage and Ron Bell- ringer tallied at 6.44 after bein, fed by Ted Nicholson and Coaci Johnny Carr-H A : Dickens completed the hat trick at 11.18 on a pass from Samolenko to get this one back and put the Truckmen in front 4-1. At 17.41 Harry Sinden took a shot from well out which did not leave the ice. Frank Hooper, who was stand- ing in front of the Kingston goal, fate it an extra wallop and drove t into the cords behind Johnston. Hoop completed the scoring in the ame just 35 seconds later when took a pass from Fred Etcher and picked the right corner of the net on a lovely long drive. Les Colvin played a fine game in the Oshawa net in contrast to Johnston's weak effort on the long drives. Colvin .also had a bit of luck at times. On one occasion Bud Ohlke was uncovered in front of his bastion but missed the puck completely as he went to take his shot. Colvin turned in some lovely saves however, and undoubtedly would have had a shutout except for the occasion when Oshawa was short two men. In addition to Dickens, Hooper, and .Scott; George Samolenko turn- ed in a nice game, and McBeth and Sinden were outstanding on the attack as well as defensively. Red Peters also made some dan- - |gerous forays. OSHAWA -- Goal, Colvin; de- fence, Dickens, Peters, Sinden, McBeth; forwards, Etcher, Scott, Samolenko, Wilson, Hooper ,Thal- the er, Holden, Yourth.

H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR Oshawa Truckmen came up with another convincing victory over the 1953 OHA Senior "B'" champ- jons, when they trounced King- ston Goodyears 6-1 at the Bow- manville Arena on Saturday night. We told the local hockey fans that this was a game they shouldn't miss and it certainly proved to be a real entertainment treat. Coach Ernie Dickens came up with the hat-trick, Jong three goals to pace his team their win. As a matter of fact, the entire Truck- men team played great hockey. Frank "Sonny" Hooper and Gerry Scott had to do double duty at the oentre-ice slot, because Paul Jago and Wally Samanski were not around for this game. However the two huskie pivots handled: the extra work in fine style. Les Col- vin again shone in the nets and would have had a shutout likely, but a couple of Oshawa penalties in quick succession, gave the Good- years a chance to put on a power play that clicked for their orphan y. The Truckmen swing right back inte action again at Bow- manville tomorrow night. Their two wins over Kingston this past week have moved the Oshawa team back into first place in the Senior "B" standing, three points ahead of the Limestone City crew. Orillia is once again threatening and their visit to Bowmanville tomorrow night will provide the hockey fans with some more lively action. The Pontiacs have the biggest de- fense in the Senior "B" group-- in fact, their entire team is built on the out-size system and they take ' advantage by "bulling" their way around when the heavy going starts. This one tomorrow night should be another lively do, like the last time Truckmen beat out the Orillia Pontiacs at Bow- manville, to snap that losing streak. This one is the game this week, at home, for the Truckmen. They play in Belleville on Wednesday night. Plenty of action at the local cur club these days. The an- nual Boxing Dy Bonspiel on Sat- urday saw a full entry of 32 rinks, most of them from within the membership of the Oshawa Club and that's where most of the prizes remained also. Paul Michael, Bill Minett, Don McNaughton and "Ab" Robins all skipped their rinks to triple wins in Saturday's event, to take the top choice in loot. Today, at the local rink, the annual Osh- awa Teachers' Bonspiel is bei held with another 32 rinks on han --this time, almost all of them from outside Oshawa. Then tomor- row, we have the district elimina- tions in the Ontario Schoolboy curl- ing playdowns, being held on Osh- awa ice. On Wednesday night, cal club members get a chance to compete in a mid-week, two- game, draw event, with chickens as prizes ' BRIGHT BITS -- Watched De- troit Lions capture the U.S. pro- fessional football championship yes- terday and the largest television audience in history saw a real thriller. The Lions won it with a sensational forward-pass touchdown in the dying seconds of the game, nosing out the famous Cleveland Browns . 17-16 . . . Then after that we watched St. Mike's tie Marl- boros three times, only to' lose out 6-4 in an overtime Junior "A" game that was 3-3 at the end of regular time . . . Price and Bionda, rival defensemen, had quite a scrap too... But up in St. Kitts on Saturday afternoon, there was another of those too-frequent free- for-alls as the Teepees tagged the Tabbies with a 6-1 defeat... Harry Lumley shone for Leafs as they turned back the Red Wings 4-2 on Saturday night, which en- abled the Habs to knock off top spot again. They won over Rang- ers 2-0. By THE CANADIAN PRESS Dick Irvin, then captain of Chl- 'clago Black Hawks, suffered a fractured skull in collision with Red Dutton of Montreal Maroons in an NHL game at Chicago 25 years ago tonight.

Will Bid For Minor Title Word was received in Oshawa | this weekend that Oshawa's young- est hockey team would swing into action this coming week. Percy Walter, who led the Wood- view Park team to an undefeated Toronto Hockey League "Atom" Championshfp last year, has mov- the team up into the Minor Bantam series this year and is looking ahead to another success- ful season. Mr. Walter, who has his heart and soul tied up in his hockey team, was one of the first teams to approach the Bowmanville Arena for ice time after the Osh- awa Arena gas destroyed by fire and has had his kids practising faithfully every week since the ice went in the Bowmanville Arena. After securing practice time, Mr. Walter then started out in earnest to raise the necessary money to operate the team and also ordered the new equipment. After deciding to name the team the Oshawa Fly- ers, Percy Walter ordered a com- plete new set of sweaters, pants and stockings as well as a new set of goal pads. Through his perse- verance and the kindnes of the local business men he has now raised nearly enough money to pay or above equipment. Anyone who would like to make a contrib- ution, to keep these kids under 13 playing hockey this year, may do so by calling Percy Walter at 5-1342 and he will be very glad to call for the donation. SPECIAL GOALIE PADS Mr. Walter has kept most of his last year team intact, but due to the fact that he only had ten play- ers last year, he has added a few new faces this year. Wayne Nor- ris, who did all the goal tending last year, will be back again and will have young Haliday as his al- ternate. Due to the size of the goaltend- ers, Percy Walter has secured a set of the famous Turk Broda goal pads made to measure for the kids and these should enable the kids to move around a little more than they could last year in the bigger and bulkier pads. McEachern and Thomson will again form one of the defense units; Joyce will team up with a newcomer named Mollon to form the other. Up front, Coach Walter will have Cole at centre on the number one line, with Cockerton and Frolick on the wings. Cole and Cockerton were two of the best players in the league last year while Frolick seems to fit in very well with them in practise. : McAvoy will centre Disney and Boddy on another line and these boys played as a unit last year and Coach Walter is expect- ing bigger and better things from them is coming year, To round out the team, Mr. Walt- er has picked up the first string line from the Bathe Park PeeWees of last year and they too seem to be coming right along in the prac- tice sessions. Chaszewski is the centre on this line and has Nicholi- shen and Miklas on the wings. Chaszewski is a very fine skater and playmaker and this line should really prove to be an asset to the Oshawa Flyers. While the Toronto Hockey League are' still accepting entries, the Minor-Bantam league will probably start out with Marlboros, Leaside Lions, Boys Brigade, Moordale H., Simmons, West Toronto Optimists, Viiversiiy Settlement and Oshawa Flyers. From this corner it would appear that Marlboros, Lions, West Toron! Simmons would provi est opposition for the Oshawa Fly- ers although it is still too early the season to tell. TOUGH OPENING WEEK Incidentally, the Oshawa Flyers will have a tough schedule this first week as they play Leasid That Great Shot Gave Lew Worsham Top '53 Winnings CHICAGO (AP)--Lew Worsham, thanks to his remarkable shot at Tam O'Shanter, led pro golf's 1953 money winners with $34,002 and the year's Vardon Trophy champion was Lloyd Mangrum with a 70.22- stroke average. The sharing of the two top honors in play-for-pay competition was certified in final 1953 statis- tics released by the Professional Golfers Association of America. Worsham's sensational wedge shot in the "world" tournament at Chicago, rolled into the '18th cup from 140 yards out to win top prize of $25, Mangrum was the year's best shot-maker for the second time in three years with his 70.22 average for 64 rounds, but finished third ge earnings with $20,636, behind Wor- sham and Doug Ford with $26,815. Last year's money-winning champion was Julius Boros ($37,- 032), who plunged to 30th this year with $5,595. The 1952 Vardon Tro- phy winner was Jack Burke, .Jr., (70.54), who failed to quality for this year's competition when he picked up in PGA play. NHL President May Give Verdict Today MONTREAL (CP) -- President Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League said a decision in the Bernie Geoffrion-Ron Murphy case may be announced today. Emerging from a meeting with representatives of Montreal Cana- diens, New York Rangers, and NHL officials, Campbell said Sat- urday pending his decision, Boom Boom Geoffrion and Murphy will remain suspended. The meeting, an official inquiry into events resulting in match pen- alties to both players in a New York game Dec. 20, lasted two hours and 40 minutes. Lions Monday and then come right back again on Friday to take on the highly rated Marlboros. While some of the Toronto teams have been playing in a pre-season series and may a little ahead of the Flyers, we feel quite sure that the Oshawa kids will make a ood showing and Coach Percy alter is again predicting another championship for his boys. Win, lose or draw, the Oshawa hockey fans can feel. proud of the Oshawa Flyers and the ex tional job that Percy Walter going to keep Oshawa's name to the front in the hockey world. Without a doubt some of the kids on the Oshawa Flyers will end up playing with the awa Gen- erals in the years to come and for most of them it will all be due to the fine efforts and coaching abilft- ies of the same Percy Walter. Add Four More To Juniors' Schedule TORONTO (CP)--Tory Gregg, president of the Ontario Hockey Association, said Sunday night that four home games will be added to the schedule of the junior A group to meet requests cl ubs. The Ontario teams, led by Jack Moffat, president of Galt Black Hawks, and Hap Emms of Barrie, previously said they would ignore the interlocking schedule with Que- bec unless they were given more home games. When the inter-locking schedule was first proposed it was expected Ontario teams would get more home games.

That's how much extra the Lions earned Sunday bY clipping Cleve- land Browns 17-16 for their second straight National Football League championship. The game was a real thriller, matched by only a few pro play- offs, and the ironic part about it was that Doran was supposed to play defence, and not offence. He was forced into offensive duties when Leon Hart, Detroit's towering end, suffered a wrenched knee early in the game. With barely two minutes to play Doran sped behind Cleveland's Ken Konz and gathered in Bobby Layne's winning touchdown pass. It was a crushing jolt for the Browns, who were hoping to regain their accustomed position as rulers of the professional football world. They led 16-1 with less than five minutes to go, thanks to three field goals by Lou (The Toe) Groza and a nine-yard touchdown run by fullback Chick Jagade. MARCH 80 YARDS But the Lions marched 80 yards in eight pulsating plays. Layne and Doran were the key players in the drive. They combined on three pass plays good for 68 yards. Boiled down, the game was de- cided in the Lions' favor because they had a passing attack and Cleveland didn't. Otto Graham had one of the worst games in his eight-year pro career, completing only two passes in 15 tries for a mere 20 yards. The fired-up Lions also whip the Browns 17-7 in last year's title game in Cleveland. It was the third straight year the Browns lost in the championship game. They were beaten 24-17 by Los Angeles in 1951. With a crowd of 54,577 and mil- lions of televiewers looking on, De- troit took a 10-3 lead at halftime. Doak Walker drove across from | the one early in the first period | and he kicked a 23-yard field goal | in the second period. | Groza, who missed three field | goals in last year's title game, | kicked the first of his three field goals in the second quarter--a 15- yarder. Cleveland, impotent in the first half, was red-hot after intermission and tied the score 10-10 when Ja- gade capped a 51-yard drive by bulling through right guard to score.
