6 © THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, Mey 3, 1966 iSPORTS MENU By Geo. H, Campbell SPOK(S EDITOR . FOR THE RECORD -- this corner wasn't or isn't re- sponsible for the current wrangle over the awarding of 'The 'Red' Tilson Memorial Trophy" to Andre Lacroix, Peter- borough's high-scoring star of the OHA 'Junior "A" 'ranks. As far as we are concerned, we feel .hat no matter if any individual sports scribe voting for this award, felt obliged to name his own "hometown- favorite" in first place -- the second vote had to go for Bobby Orr -- because -- and here, we reiterate -- it's only our opinion -- Bobby Orr was by far the most eligible player to win this award -- since it goes not to the top scorer of the league but to the "most valuable player to his team and most gentlemanly player, in conduct". We are tickled to see our Oshawa favorite maintain his role -- he even commends the chvice of La- croix. Bobby is quoted as saying that without Lacroix, Peterborough would have finished at least two slots lower in the final league standings. Without Bobby Orr -- Oshawa Generals wouldn't have been in the Memorial Cup finals -- they might not even have been in the OHA playoffs. We have only two comments to make -- we did NOT receive a voting ballot but we are not implying that same wasn't mailed. If Globe and Mail's Jim Vipond, who was in charge 'of the Tilson Trophy voting, says he sent one -- then we feel that he did. Friend Jim wouldn't make up a story -- but neither would we -- we didn't ever receive same. But shouldn't the voting for this Junior "A" award be handled by the OHA? The Globe and Mail donated the trophy -- but then others donated the Allan Cup, Minto Cup, Lady Byng Trophy, etc., ete., and in every case, the governing body of the. sport concerned, does the awarding, or where necessary, conducts the voting. They tell us that even with out vote -- Bobby Orr wouldn't have won The Tilson Memorial, Well, at least -- even if we didn't get a vote -- it's at least one vote that wasn't a secret! THE STANLEY CUP finals are dominating the Cana- dian sports pages these days and with the fifth game in Montreal tonight, we have read yards of copy as to how badly Detroit Red Wings will miss Roger Crozier, if the injured goalie is not able to take his place between the pipes tonight -- or maybe, for the rest of the series. They perform near-miracles on muscular injuries these days so it wouldn't surprise us too much to see Crozier back on duty right tonight -- but it's almost certain he'll be ready for Thursday night's game, back in Detroit. This has been a wild and hectic final, with each team losing their home games. Canadiens, with their greater depth and an edge in speed, are again restored as favorites to retain their title but because of Bill Gadsby, Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, Normie Ullman and a few others -- the Red Wings are sentimental favorites, with a lot of hockey fans, However --sentiment doesn't put that puck in the net! HERE IN OSHAWA, the hockey fans are more con- cerned with their own hockey classic -- The Memorial Cup finals -- gvhich will get underway tomorrow night at Maple Leaf Gardens. The dates have been confirmed -- it's Wed- nesday, Friday, Sunday afternoon and next Wednesday night, for the first four games. There's a rest after that, with the fifth game called for Saturday afternoon, sixth, if necessary, on Sunday afternoon and should the series go the limit, the seventh game will be on Tuesday, May 17. Tickets. went on sale at a brisk pace here in Oshawa and a check this morning suggests that at least four or five thousand Oshawa fans will be on hand tomorrow night, root- ing for their Generals. Wednesday's game will be televised but not Friday's game -- which could boost attendance for the second game. Word out of Toronto -- the oil Kings arrived this morning -- is that the Edmonton club is in top shape. Coach "Bep" Guidolin informed us last night that his team is fit and ready. '"'Bep" had the highest praise for the way the Generals performed in Shawinigan and feels that the series with Shawinigan served to give the Generals the "sharp edge' they enjoyed at the conclusion of their OHA playoffs. 'We're ready and the kids want that cham- pionship, so that's all I can ask," added "'Bep".

Mays' assault on the record takes some of the drama out of won the championship every season but*one, 1957-58. Russell was injured then and missed two games in the final playoff series against St. Louis. Retiring coach Red Auerbach presented a long list when asked why the Celtics had picked Rus- sell as their new coach. "Russell is a fighter," said Auerbach. 'He is a keen stu- dent. of basketball. He has the respect of his. players, he has always had the winning habit and he will be the boss--putting the Celtics ahead of friendship." WILLIE MAYS H Pigeon Club Holds Year's First Race --| "BIGGEST FARCE'... | | Gens pe By FRANK RATCLIFFE Times Sports Writer The wrath of Oshbawa's hock- ey gods has been aroused. The selection of Andre La- |eroix of Peterborough Petes as 1965-66 winner of the Albert (Red) Tilson Memorial Trophy has Messrs. 'Bep' Guidolin and Wren Blair more than a little upset. In fact, the echo of their angry tones may still be rever- berating through the corridors of Oshawa Civic Auditorium and Maple Leaf Gardens, re- bounding again and again with the words 'Bobby Orr'. 'There Bobby is more valuable to his team than any othe player in the league," Blair, general manager of the Oshawa Gen- erals, said in his Civic Audi- torium office Monday. The trophy is awarded annu- ally to the OHA Junior 'A' play. er considered most valuable to his team while showing gentlemanly style ef play. Coach Guidolin termed the | awarding of the trophy to La- croix for the second successive season "the biggest farce in hockey", Guidolin made this What's In A | Horse's Name | LOUISVILLE, Ky.

He grabbed for it and acciden- tally poked himself in the right eye with his finger. "We had to take him to the hospital in Portland where they treated the eye and put a patch over it," said King Clancy, Imlach's assistant. Clancy says imlach has had further ireaimeni since and the injury has all but cleared up.

That's the kind of guy pvho should win the trophy. Not always a top goal scorer." Guidolin, who played on the 1941-42 Oshawa Generals with Tilson, described him as "'the greatest junior player I ever saw". Then his thoughts jumped to the 1965-66 season. "No. Wait a minute. I take that back," he added hastily. "He wasn't as great as Orr." One of the few people in Osh- awa who felt the decision was a "They made a good choice," said the 18-year-old all-star.
