4 10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, September 23, 1966 SPORTS MENU 'By Geo. H. Campbell Associate Sports Editor tomorrow in am awa has THE HOCKEY SEASON opens in Osh Niagara Falls all week, watching the numerous workouts as Boston Bruins and Oklahoma City Blazers, along with about 60 junior-age prospects are bidding for berths with the Boston chain. The Generals will hold their first workout Saturday morning at 10:00 o'clock and another at 2:00 o'clock, in the afternoon. The public is welcome so no doubt there'll be a lot of local fans at the Civic Auditorium tomorrow, especially in the afternoon, where they can watch the Generals practice and be on hand for the arrival of the Green Gaels, who are expected there at about 4:30. p.m. haan VCs neen TED O'CONNOR arrived back today and brought with chim three definite prospects for his 1966-67 Generals; Bob Walton, a centre man, brother of 'Mike' Walton of the Toronto Leafs. Bob played with the Midget Bruins in the THL, last winter; Brian Slychuck, a left-winger from Sud- bury and Gerry Walmsley, another centre, who hails from Brampton. Gerry. centred Brian Morenz and Bob - Black (two returning Generals) on Brampton's Midget team, two years ago. Johnny Clayton, Huntsville, now a Minto Cup champion, came here to join the Generals and Paul Reid of Kingston's Junior 'B' team, who had a brief fling with the Generals, are bidding for berths, along with members of the Oshawa "'Crushmen" of last season, Dionne, Sawyer, Bowen, Solomon, Knowles, Gavel, Horton, Ayotte and Dickson. BOSTON BRUINS vs Oklahoma City Blazers, the pro- fessional exhibition game which opens the season here tomorrow hight, has a special attraction this year, for the Oshawa Generals' fans. Bobby Orr, idol of the locals, will team up with Gilles Marotte, former Niagara Falls Flyer, who was up with Bruins last season. Goalie Bernie Parent, another "Flyer," Oshawa's own Eddie Westfall Murray Oliver (Hamilton) Dick Cherry (Kingston) are others of the Bruins, well-known to Oshawa hockey fans. In the Okla- homa City lineup, some faces will be even more familiar, including Wayne Cashman and Bill Heindl of last year's Generals and Ron Buchanan who was here two years ago and had a great season as a pro, in 1965-66. Ross Lons- berry (the speed-ball) and defenseman Ted Hodgson, who both played with Edmonton. Oil Kings last spring, when they won the Memorial Cup over Oshawa, will also be with Oklahoma City. It'll be a bit like "Old Home Week" at the Civie Auditorium tomorrow night! THE WEATHERMAN has. scowled on softball playoffs this past week and carefully pre-arranged dates had been washed out completely. A couple of phone calls this morning served to clear the air and we can pass along some definite information for Oshawa fans. Scugog Cleaners will open their Junior 'A' Southern Ontario finals against Niagara-on-the-Lake, over there in Legion Park, tomorrow night, at eight o'clock and the return game will be here next Saturday. Brooklin Concretes will play their third and deciding game against Battersea, in Sterling (not Madoc) tomorrow night, 8:30 o'clock. Oshawa Quality Fuel Midgets are still waiting. Sarnia and Niagara-on-the-Lake will settle their series tomorrow afternoon, 4:00 o'clock, in Woodstock and the winner plays Oshawa. If Sarnia wins, the series will not likely open until a week from tomorrow. Gale's Lumber open the Senior 'B' Southern finals tomorrow night, eight o'clock, at Lincoln Park, in Galt. The "Gores" defeated St. Catharines Thompson Products in their third and deciding game, a 13-inning thriller that ended 1-0. Galt Gores will play back in Oshawa on Wednesday night. THE Aik has cieared somewhai, now that the i966 Mann Cup piayoff is history and the Vancouver team is back home. Lacrosse folk had some harsh criticism for the CLA when they moved the series at Peterborough, from the Memorial Centre to their Civic Arena, They played 'the first two games in the Centre and then, after ice was put in, to accommodate the Toronto Leafs' hockey camp, they tried a third game there, playing on a board floor, placed on top of the ice. In the heat, with ice below, the boards "'sweat" and became treacherously slippery. That ended that--both coaches refused to continue there -- the CLA (in complete charge of the series) decided to move the balance of the games to the Civic Arena, where the last two of the 4-1 series were played. Oshawa Civic Auditorium was available and an offer had been made to the CLA (and given some consideration too) but in the end, they decided to keep the series in Peterborough. THE CIVIC ARENA in the Liftlock City is not much bigger than our own Children's Arena, with the exception that they have a gallery of seats, at the far end. The seating on the side is crowded (merely numbers) and no back-rests, just the bleacher type of accommodation. Big rafters spoil the view at many points and the "knee space" well, there just isn't any, It's certainly not "class" as one would expect for a national sports final. We think they would have had bigger crowds here in Oshawa, because lacrosse fans from all around this area, Brampton, Mimico, St. Catharines, Toronto, Oshawa, Brook- lin, Whitby, etc., would have joined the Peterborough rooters here. Johnny Davis would have attracted a thousand Oshawa fans himself. Players and year-round fans. feel the Mann Cup should be played: in an arena where they can attend. The decision was for the CLA men but perhaps it was just that simple. Surely, CLA president Carl Madgett, who knows Oshawa well, must have known that the games sole WRG have been a financial success in ihe much more spacious and clean Civic. Auditerii@#® The CLA gets all the gate receipts -- and hands out only expenses to the competing teams, This may have been the fly in the ointment. THE PETERBOROUGH club knew they were only going to get expenses no matter where the games were played. They had played in Civic Arena there all season long, it was their home and they knew the floor backwards, On top of that, as far as they were concerned, they likely felt they owed allegiance only to the 1,100 or 1,200 fans who had supported. them all summer at the Civic Arena. That thinking is both sensible and practical. We'll never forget the final game of this year's Mann Cup. Not merely because of the cramped quarters in which we "enjoyed" the game but for the 'unusual sight of watching an enthusiastic Liftlock City fan pry the cork out of a huge magnum of champagne, and then see the players take a gulp of the bubbly -- while two policemen at the far end of the floor, stood at the gate and kept the 16,000 cheering fans from going on the floor, to join the celebration.
