10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdey, June 1, 1966 SPORTS MENU By Geo. H, Campbell Associate Sports Editor BLUE PLATE SPECIAL on this and most sports menus being presented to the fans and readers these days, is a spicy serving of hockey news, most of which comes under the general heading of appointments, We wrote a column on Monday morning, pointing out that the Oshawa Generals Club was in seed of both a new coach and general man- ager. Siortly after our deadline, we got wind that the club was ready to announce their appointment and a telephone call to club president "Russ" Humphreys quickly confirmed the fact that Ted O'Connor will be the new coach and man- ager of Oshawa Generals, We had figured that the club officials likely intended to release the official news of their appointment at their big victory banquet, being held this evening, at the Civic Auditorium, but once word had got out and it was beyond the rumor stage, confirmation had to be announced, TED O'CONNOR takes over the dual role with the Gen- erals with a solid background of homebrew history. Ted him- self graduated from the Oshawa "City League' to earn a defence berth with the Generals, with whom he starred for saveral seasons, early 50's, Ted. played his professional hockey with Tacoma in the Western League and with Hershey Bears in the American circuit, Returning to ama- teur ranks, he was one of the many ex-Generals who starred for the great Whitby Dunnies, Allan Cup champions in 1957 and '58 and then World Champions in 1959. At 34, O'Connor will be one of the youngest coaches and managers in the OHA Junior "A" setup, He'll have to "learn his way around' when the Junior "A" Council sits in. session, but with a wealth of playing experience behind him, he'll learn real fast, Ted's first chore as a coach (not counting the teams he guided in Oshawa Minor Hockey) was last year when he piloted Oshawa "Crushmen", the city's Junior "'B"' team, to the group championsbip -- which was in effect, Eastern Canada Junior "B" supremacy, They were elim- inated by the Metro "B" League's powerful champions, but still made a splendid showing for the season. TODAY USHERS IN that month which the poet referred to as "what is so rare as" but so far, the weatherman hasn't paid much attention to his summer supplies, which makes the hockey tid-bits easier to digest. Roger Bedard, who hails from Granby, Quebec, was re-hired for another one-year contract, to coach Peterborough "Petes"' this next season. Bedard steered the "Petes" to first place in this past Junior "A schedule but hit by injuries, the Liftlock City team bowed to Toronto Marlboros in the quarter-final play- off round, "Scotty" Bowman, who is a former Peterborough | coach, bas been named assistant general manager and | coach, of the new NHL club at St. Louis, where Lynn | Patrick is established as General Manager. At 32, Bowman becomes the youngest coach in the NHL, but he has had 18 years of hockey experience, all with Montreal Canadiens and their clubs, He was with Junior Canadiens at 16 but in 1952 he suffered a head injury and retired as a player. He coached Junior Canadiens, out of Ottawa, in 1956 and reach- | ed the Memorial Cup finals in 1957 and won the cup in 1958, | after which he coached in Peterborough for two seasons, then was Canadiens' chief scout, It can be told now -- the Oshawa Club could have been interested in bringing 'Scotty' Bowman here -- but with the kind of jobs available these days, under the NHL expansion boom, the going rates are extremely high. SPORT SHORTS -- Tonight's hockey banquet for the Oshawa Generals promises to be another one of those busy hea: ble sessions, with presentations galore, Besides the OHA and CAHA (Eastern Canada) trophies, which will bring Oshawa's own Matt Leyden and Lloyd Padlock of Wind- sor, into verbal action, the Generals will receive gifts from the city and from the club. Both Wren Blair and "Bep" Guidolin will be on hand, of course... ED. POLGRABIA, playing with Johnny Cardinal and Ken Henning, at the Pebblestone Golf Club, here yesterday afternoon, scored a hole-in-one, on the par-3 No, 9 hole, making the 200-yard shot with a No. 3 wood.

Both pitchers allowed only two bits, with Taylor holding Scu- |gogs hitless from the fourth in- ining. : In another encounter, Oshawa Bad Boys turned back Brooklin | Concrete 6-3 on the six-hit pitch- ling of Ted Jones. In the Gales-Scugogs game, Taylor banged a hit into right field, After landing fair, the ball bounced into foul territory, struck a light standard and bounced back on to the playing field, By the time Scugogs re- trieved the ball, Taylor was on third base. | Win Close One . » | SCUGOGS -- Burke, cf; Sib- Whitby Girls jlock, 3b; Johnson, Jb; Bennett, Whitby Scugog Cleaners hosted) their Bowmanville rivals in a Durham Ladies' Softball League | fixture Jast night at Centennial | Park, but as hosts, they were jnot exactly 'kind' -- they de- feated their visitors 4-2, in a sparkling tussle, The rival hurlers each turned in a commendable perform- ance, B, Thertell and D, Ormis- ton shared the pitching duties for Bowmanville, Thertell re- jplacing Ormiston in the fifth jinning while Judy and Spencer |went the distance for the home- sters, | Spencer gave up only four hits) to the Bowmanville girls, while she herself picked up two sin-| | gles, a big portion of Whitby's | meagre total of five hits.
