Spo af SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell Associate Sports Editor * BACK AT THE MILL, after 10 days in the bush and r first glance at a newspaper after that interim almost winced us we were returning to a brand new era, the consternation we experienced in reading the of the complete devastation of the Hamilton Tiger- . In successive weekend outings, Ottawa Rough Riders the mayhem men of the mountain into a collection tame tabbies and die-hard Hamilton loyalists, such as d-Ted Johnson have soft-pedalled their "Eat 'em raw" foar to a plaintive purr. Frank Clair, the scholarly professor of Canada's professional football ranks, was being written Off as the Ottawa bridesmaid of the gridiron, headed for the chopping block but now, he is again being acclaimed as the of the coaching realm. + 'THERE WERE REVBLATIONS on the hockey front as . They've climbed slightly since but it was a stunning to find Montreal Canadiens on the bottom of the NHL pile, in the first hockey statistics.we scanned, after dur return. The continued good showing of Boston Bruins was pleasant to read, too. Nice guys finish last, was the fay Leo Durocher put it but the individual point-scoring races in the two hockey circuits of major inierest, suggest 4 revised definition. Long regarded as steady customers of the penalty timekeepers, Stan Mikita of Chicago Black Hawks and Derek Sanderson of Niagara Falls Flyers have apparently taken the veil and the reformation has en- abled them to spend more time on the ice, instead of in the penalty pew -- and they are the respective scoring leaders of their leagues. » OSHAWA GENERALS are having their problems and pilot Ted O'Connor is having to steer his craft in choppy seas. That double defeat last weekend dropped Generals from a second-place berth to a contending fourth spot, tied with Toronto Marlboros, who moved up with their win in London on Tuesday night. Last night's Junior 'A' action _faw Niagara Falls get thumped 7-3 by the Red Wings, in Hamilton and that win put Hamilton up in first place, one point ahead of St. Catharines. London and Peterborough eye a 3-3 tie in the Liftlock City. Junior Canadiens play London tonight while Hamilton returns to Niagara Falls and St. Kitts visit Kitchener. This latter game should be interesting, since it pits the league's best defensive team (St. Kitts have had only 31 goals scored against them) against one of the league's better offensive units. Only Niagara Falls and Hamilton have scored more goals than Kitchener and the Rangers have played one less game. MARLIES AND GENERALS get their chance to do something about their fourth-place tie, when they clash here tomorrow night. With no schedule action to interfere, coach Ted O'Connor has devoted his daily workouts this week to experiments with his attacking units, having tried out sev- eral different front-line combinations,:on the trial and error Basis. No doubt some of his intended plans were harpoon- ed by the abrupt departure of Peter Nevin but word is that there'll be several changes in the Generals' forward lines, for Saturday night's battle with Marlboros. We hear that fo less than five clubs are interested in availing themselves of Nevin's talents, via a trade or sale, but the Oshawa men- tor will likely have a long chat with Nevin, before making any move. Getting back to the game here tomorrow night, our Generals had better win this one, or they. may find themselves in sixth or even seventh place, by Monday morning. Generals have played three more games than Marlies so a loss tomorrow night at home will be serious. Flyers can pass Oshawa by winning at home tonight and Montreal, only three points behind, have games tonight and Sunday. THE ANNUAL moment of madness, known better as Grey Cup fever, shunts almost all other sports activity into the background this week, but for a moment we can savor that 8-3 triumph by Boston Bruins last night, as they romped over the defenseless Red Wings. Bobby Orr picked up a couple of assist points, to go with the two goals he scored in New York the night before. Tomorrow afternoon's Canadian football classic will likely set a new record for "Ty" viewers with hundreds of fans unable to get to Van- ¢ouver as intended. Out there, workmen have spent all week grooming the field at Empire Stadium and hoping there'll be no rain. Ottawa Rough Riders are still heavily favored to cop the Grey Cup. but Saskatchewan Rough- riders are not without support, in addition to their own "faithful", The overall assessment seems to be that Ot- tawa's great diversity of offensive strength, spear - headed by the superb generalship of Russ Jackson, will be more than the Western champs can cope with, since they are not considered to be too hot defensively. SOFTBALL FANS around these parts, those of the older det, will regret to learn of the passing of "Ernie" Simpson, of Kingston. President of the OASA in 1948 and long known as one of Eastern Ontario's most enthusiastic softball work- ers, Ernie was extremely well-known in softball ranks throughout the province and particularly in the Eastern On- tario area known as Zone 4, in the OASA. He succumbed to a heart attack, at the age of 78, last Thursday and was Buried in Kingston (Cataraqui) on Monday. When the Kingston Amateur Softball Association holds its annual ban- quet and trophy presentations, tonight -- Ernie Simpson will be missing from the head table -- for the first time in 25 years.

Bruins Have Feast At Wings Expense "By THE CANADIAN PRESS For the first time 'in many National Hockey League sea- sons, Boston Bruins seem to have come across some pep pills in the old bean crock, They beat Detroit Red Wings 6-2 in the season opener and now have six wins in 15 starts, The Red Wings visited the home of the bean and the cod Thursday night and again were the poor fish, taking an 8-3 thumping. With all the spirit of a cold bean sandwich, the Wings yielded goals to Ron Stewart, John McKenzie, Ted Green, Murray Oliver, Ron Schock and Gilles Marotte. Norm Ullman had two goals for Detroit and Ted Hampson one, In the other game, Chicago Black Hawks coasted to an easy 5-0 win over Montreal Ca- nadiens on goals by Dennis Hull, Phil Esposito, Chico Maki, Stan Mikita and Ken Wharram, The.

All three players, Bill White, George Babcock and Bill Scott, will wind up at centre ice as a result of the change. White will pivot for left win- er Ron Dussiaume, the club's hottest sniper in recent games, and Jerry Dionne. Flanking Babcock will be Danny Sandford on the left side and Fred O'Donnell on the right. Sandford missed last weekend's games with a sore back while O'Donnell has been sidelined since the opening weekend with a broken thumb. Scott, who played centre with Winnipeg Monarchs last season, will work between Chris Hayes and Brian Morenz. O'Connor won't break up the defensive combinations, keep- ing Chris Roberts and Nick Beverley together and Brian Wilkins with Paul Cadieux. John Clayton will be the extra defenceman, with Ian Young in goal. "I'm not sure who will form the fourth line,' O'Connor said following Thursday night's practice.
