'Wings Bomb Rangers, Once Again Threaten igo gee ane . 14 THEOSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, March 20, 1964 Leafs For 3rd By THE CANADIAN PRESS New York arid Boston are out ~of-the playoffs. That's not news but it's the only conclusion that has been reached in the National Hockey League after 205 games, Every: thing else is still up in the air. To the delight of the NHL's six promoters, none of the top four positions in the standings are resolved as the 210-game schedule heads into the last weekend. And it's conceivable that this situation will still ex- ist at game time Sunda ynight. Detroit Red Wings could have rtially settled the issue ursday night but declined a fourth-place finish, thank you. The Wings belted New York 9-3 to remain in contention for third place, where Toronto cur- rently is lodged. The Detroit win moved them to within three points of the Maple Leafs with each club hav- ing two games left--a head-on clash between the two contest- ants in a home-and-home series this weekend. Montreal and Chi- cago, of course, have yet to set- tle their differences over rights to first place. The Canadiens are home to the Bruins Saturday night and play in New York Sunday while Chicago visits Boston in their only remaining game, Montreal can take first place with two wins or one victory anda Chi- cago loss. The Wings, however, face a stiffer task. They. must beat Toronto twice to take third spot. WINGS FLYING It's a mighty task but the way Detroit is flying these days 12 ere amarsa cnt Len opener cee tie roiaeee Spot Wings have won four straight games and the win over the Rangers was their ninth in their last 10 home games.

Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' OSHAWA GENERALS, the players themselves, the man- agement, club officers and their fans, can ail be forgiven if this morning they feel like quoting that old bromide about "Tt never rains, etc." After what happened last night up in St, Catharines, coupled with losing both Ron Buchanan and "Rick" Gay in Thursday's game, it would appear that the Generals wouldn't have any luck, except that there are two kinds -- and there isn't any doubt which kind the Generals have been getting lately. Last night in St, Catharines, goalie Dennis Regan received a two-stitch cut over his eye, and then real early in the game he suffered a four-stitch cut, when Dennis Hull let go with a hard slap-shot and the puck caught Gibson near the right ear. They patched him up the second time but after getting back between ihe pipes Gibson decided he was too dazed to do justice to the job, so after a brief conference with Coach Cherry, Gibson doffed the big pads and Ian Young took over. Young was slightly more than gensational in the first period and the first session, which with all the delays, took nearly an extra hour to play, ended with the score 1-0 for the homesters. Doug Jarrett, Black Hawk defenseman with a booming shot, potted a couple in the middle canto, during pressure plays when Young's view was partially screened. And that's how it ended, 3-0, for St. Kitts, who now lead the series 3-2. x x x x THE ABSENCE of Ron Buchanan, Oshawa's high-scoring centre, was very noticeable in the Generals' attack. And two other factors contributed to last night's 3-0 score, Besides missing Buchanan's play-making the Generals themselves were not up to top form, either in their passing or shooting. And naturally, a percentage of their off-color performance must be credited to the splendid defensive game turned in by the Black Hawks. The homesters not only checked hard and @ligently up front and along the wings, but their blue line de- partment came up with their best defensive display of the series. The Generals haven't been bianked many times this season so last night's shutout has to reflect a combination -of injuries plus sub-par performance, Tomorrow night, the sixth game of the series goes in Bowmanivile Community Arena, with an advanced starting time of 7:30: o'clock, Oh yes--it's still going to be in Bowmanville. The OHA has warned both coaches to behave and notified the Oshawa officials that they must keep their fans under control. There's be another banner crowd on hand tomorrow night and if the Generals can continue their home-ice victories, then the 7th and deciding game will be played in St. Catharines 6n Sunday afternoon. If it goes the limit--it will be a toss-up, since either team has a good chance, when two evenly-matched clubs meet in a sud- den-death game. Meanwhile, Montreal Junior Canadiens turned back Petes last night, 8-2, in Montreal, to clean up that quarter-final set. x x x x SPORTS IN SHORTS: -- Lyall Dagg's British Columbia rink kept the Scotch Cup in Canada, when they defeated Scotland in the final game of the playoffs out at Calgary last night but Skip Torrance and his fellow-Scots gave the big crowd a real thrill -- they scored two in the 12th to force an extra end -- which makes it the closest finish of any of the world championships held. . . . MIXED CURLING Cana- dian playdowns in Toronto tightened up yesterday when Brit- ish Columbia upset Saskatchewan and then in the next round, knocked off Alberta. Sask. then handed the Manitoba rink its first loss in six games, so now B.C, and Manitoba are tied at the top with five wins and one loss each -- and they meet today. . . . DAVE MANN, a sar of the Toronto Argonaut football team, will be the special guest at the Canadian Auto- motive Museum, here in Oshawa (99 Simcoe St. South) on Saturday afternoon, two-tofour o'clock. Here's a chance for all children who pay admission or are accompanied by their parents, to meet Dave Mann personally and receive his autograph. ... SATURDAY AFTERNOON, at 4:00 o'clock, at the Children's Arena, Scarboro Pee Wees will play an exhibition game with the Oshawa Pee Wee All-Stars. The Oshawa youngsters are going to the Goderich Pee Wee tourn- ament in Easter Week and this will be a good test for them. ..., CITY AND DISTRICT Softball Assoc. officers and all teams interested are reminded of the important meeting Sunday afternoon, at 2:00 o'clock, at Sunnyside Park Club- house. Team entries will be accepted and plans made for the OASA Convention delegates, annual banquet, etc. HOCKEY SCORES, STANDINGS By THE CANADIAN PRESS |Hershey National League | Providence WILT F A Pt Baltimore 29 34 4184 207 62 38 23 3 a4 18 Ld Springfield 2240 4220 263 48 4 Western Division 3 31 25 12 183 16874) pittsburgh 37 28 3 219 19077 30 27 11 187 195 71\ Cleveland 35 27 4 220 184 74 cg rk: 22-37 10 185 240 54 New Yor Rochester 35 29 2 233 211 72 18 38 12 166 203 48) 22 38 8 181 247 52 _-- di Result ursday's Resu! | x New York 3 Detroit 9 i Thursday's Result Remaining Schedule |Buffalo 3 Quebec 7 Saturday Central Professional Boston at Montreal WLT F APt | Detroit at Toronto 4416 8 296 198 96 Sunday 35.28 7 285 26477 Montreal at New York 5 1 3630 4252 299 76 Chicago at Boston St. Louis 3131 7 302 262 69 Toronto at Detroit Cincinnat! 1051 6 187 369 26 American League Thursday's Results Minneapolis 4 St. Pau! 3 { Eastern Division } WLT F APt International League ; Quebea 4026 1245 200 81|Des Moines 2 Toledo 4 3430 4 222 236 72 30 32 4 230 216 64 Chicago Montreal Toronto |Omaha (Minneapolis St. Paul 10-1 Favorite In Grand National | AINTREE, England (AP) -- \It could be a race for a long jshot in the Grand National |steeplechase on Saturday just jlike it was in 1928, |.
