& THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, August 10, 1965 PORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR verything From Soup To Nuts' SPORTS BOOM! A study of statistics, available via club membership lists, license records and such, has re- vealed in the past few years, that this community, Oshawa and nearby areas, has a tremendously high percentage of "do-it-yourself" sports enthusiasts.: There is extra heavy active participation around threse parts in such sporting activities as fishing, goif, hunting (skeet and trap shooting, in hunting off-seasons) as well as tennis, etc. We bring up this point, only to offer what seems like an amazing con- trast--our community is also blessed with more than its share of activity in the spectator sports. Thanks to Oshawa Green Gaels, Brooklin Seniors and Whitby Lasco Steelers, aside from the hundreds of youngsters engaged in the game at various minor-age levels, we have the right to claim this 'district as Ontario's hotved , of lacrosse. For many years, with a long list of championships and runner-up honors to support it, the claim has been made that Oshawa is one of the most enthusiastic and successful softball centres in the OASA ranks. And now-- in the midst of this abundance of summer sports activities, we find our sporting populace, in the lethargy of seasonal heat, welcoming with great glee, the hockey news which has broken on the local front, in the past few days. HOCKEY FANS around these parts, especially the. hal working members of the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association, plus all those proud parents who want to see their boy advance another step up, in his hockey career, even though he's perhaps not just quite ready to catch on yet with the Oshawa "Generals," were jubilant with the announcement that Oshawa is to have an OHA Junior "B" entry this season. In the days of only the Children's Arena, this was not feasible--(technically, that local hockey home is for children under 18-years-of-age). Graduates of the: "City League Juvenile division, have in past years, drifted to Meaford, or some other centre, to pursue their Junior "'B" hockey. Now the homebrew graduates from Juvenile and Midget ranks, can step right up to their own hometown Junior "'B" team. THE CLUB is to be sponsored by Smith Beverages and will be called the '"'Crushmen." They will play their feature Friday nights at Civic Auditorium, for their home games. It is hoped and felt that this team will have a special appeal for the teenage hockey enthusiasts of the city and that they will quickly enroll their own special following of keen sup- porters. This is a great opportunity being presented to the young OHA prospects of our community and not only the young players but the hockey fans too, should. fee] real grateful for the hard work and efforts of Wren Blair, General Manager of the Oshawa Junior setup, who must be personally given credit for putting over this major step. He has been working on such a move since last year, once the Civic Auditorium was a reality and the 'Generals' firmly estab- lished at home. The fans also should ahve a warm welcome for the new sponsors. '"'Bill'" Smith, well-known head of Smith Beverages here, will head the Junior "B" Club's executive as president and son "'Al'" is the club's 2nd vice-president. Qech enthusiasts are to be congratulated for their interest in the local sports activities, It is to be hoped that the "Crush- men" catch on as a popular team, with local hockey fans and that they enjoy the success which such a venture de- serves. SOFTBALL scheduled play, during the early months of the season, suffered very few interruptions, due to the antics of the weatherman, but now that playoff time has rolled around, rain has caused several postponed dates. Civil Serv- ice League quarter-finals were about cleaned up last night. Rundle's were declared winners over Ontario Steel, in their bracket; Rexco's eliminated DeHart's Excelsiors in two- straight games; Heffering's ousted Scott's Chicken Villa likewise but the series between Foley's Plumbing and Quality Fuels, 1964 champions, continues, The Fuelmen won the first game but Jast night Foley's ralled in the 7th inning to tie the game at 7-7 and at the end of 12 innings, play was halted due to "curfew" with the score still 7-7. Rundle's open their semi-finals at North Oshawa tomorrow. night, against Heffering's while Foley's and Quality Fuels will go again, in the second game, at 8:15 o'clock, also at North Oshawa diamond. . .

Grandview Golf Club appears to be one of the most active, having held the finals to decide the ladies' club championship last Saturday. Martha Stauffer emerged as the winner, with a narrow 2-and-1 decision over Mrs. Ivan Parrott. Terry Smith walked off with low net honors with a 66, in a Junior tournament recently held at the club, while gross honors John Hewer and Neill Brock- mas, each carding a 77.

THREE ACES Grandview reports three holes- in-one so far this year, with Ken MclInally, Buddy Yahn and Ron Johnson the happy golfers. Mcinally scored his ace about one week ago, using an eight- iron on the 150-yard seventh.

In late June, Assistant Club Pro, Bob Burrows, used a nine- iron on the 143-yard fourth to card his ace. ST. KITTS ELIMINATED By FRANK RATCLIFFE Oshawa Green Gaels relied heavily on their one-two scoring punch over the regular season Monday night, as they downed St. Catharines Supertests 14 - 9 to sweep their best-of-seven Junior 'A' quarter final four games to none. The game was Bowl. John Davis, Gael's scorer this season, notched four goals, as' did Ken Thompson, number two in the Green and White scoring parade. Thomp- total and 'Shooter' picked up a pair of helpers. Thompson's seven points gave him a team- including 15 goals. were Jim Higgs and 'Phil Clay- ton with two goals apiece, and Brian Thompson and Gaylord Powless with singletons. Higgs added four assists, to push his series total to 24 points -- 12 goals and as many assists. Doug Favell continued to be the big scoring gun for St. Kitts, netting a trio of markers and setting up another. Dave Landry also notched three, with John Bergsma counting a pair and Terry Boyd adding a single tally.

Talbot, pitching for Rey- nold's, limited Excelsiors to just two hits and one run. He issued walks to Armstrong and Mitchell, in succession, to start off the fifth inning and Gorycki clicked with a single to score Armstrong - with DeHart's lone run. Bryan, with a single in the first inning, after two were out, had their only other safe hit. Joe Vasco, pitching for Excel- siors, held Rexco's off the score- sheet until the fifth when Wilson singled with one out and then with two out, Remego was safe on an infield error and Rick jthe latter scoring on an infield ed ball as Nelson was drawing his second-straight walk.

The trophy is in memory of a player who was tragically killed in an automobile accident several sea- sons ago, while a member of a Gael team under Jim Bishop. In winning the trophy, Merv had the League's lowest goals against-average for the second straight year. The unassuming native of Acton, who now makes his residence in Oshawa where he has just completed grade 12 at McLaughlin Collegiate, has sparkled in the nets for the Gaels all season. On numerous occasions he has held the team together, and his record is all the more impres- sive when one considers that the Gaels are noted for their offen- jsive qualities, often leaving of the opposition. : The presentation of the Ross Trophy to Powless marks the won by a Gael player. avoids penalties, and - 4\Armstrong, who missed the last 4 itwo games of the quarter-finals é PES i GAYLORD POWLESS suntare serettee cesvee| Marshall And Powless Awarded Major Trophies fencemen, has the ability to re- main on his feet and keep possession of the ball.

GAEL GAB: Jim Bishop's boys are keeping an anxious eye on other playoff action, as they wait to find out who they will meet in the next round, With Hastings leading Brampton two games to one, the Legionnaires have to be the favorites'to ad- vance. And Oshawa had plenty of trouble on Hastings' home floor this season, salvaging one point of a possible four. Neil with a bad back, and Don Stin- son, out for half the season after undergoing a _ ligament operation, will be back for the semis, and the Gaels are ex- pected to return to mid-season form. Coach Bishop has prac- tices scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday nights, as the boys stay in shape for their bid to keep the Minto Cup in the Motor City.
