@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, December 15, 1966 SPORTS BEAT by Eric Wessipy Times Sports Editor One has only to look at the plight of Boston Bruins to discover the major reason why Oshawa Generals aren't doing so well this season in Ontario Hockey Association Junior "'A'"' League play, If a. National Hockey League club has trouble with a player such as Bobby Orr on the sidelines, how do you think losing such a player affects @ junior squad? It was conceivable to imagine, last night yin Toronto, that Bruins might have beaten the Maple Leafs with Orr in the lineup. He was sorely missed, especially 'on the power play. On one occasion, with goalkeeper Johnny Bower out of the net and Bruins enjoying an odd- "man, Orr would probably have scored, given the same opportunity as his replacement, Ted Green, Green, how- vever, didn't get a shot away until Bower had returned to the goal area. ' MILT SCHMIDT, former Boston coach and now assis- tant to general manager Hap Emms, was saying .that TBruins missed Orr for several reasons, not the least of 'which is his ability to get the puck out of his own zone. *"Maybe he can't carry it out all the time,' Schmidt said, "but he can loft it out of there without icing it and cre- 'ating a face-off in our zone." It's interesting to note that Bruins have not won a game this season with Orr on the (sidelines, Their current five-game skid coincides with Orr's knee injury. Schmidt thought the 18-year-old defence- ;man might be with the team on its next trip to Toronto, "Christmas Eve, BRUINS FOUND OUT last night that you can't afford to leave Frank Mahovlich unchecked too often. There 'must have been at least four occasions when the big »winger was standing .alone in front of goalkeeper Gerry Cheevers, and the fourth time his mates finally got the 'puck over to him and it was in the net before Cheevers "could move, Leafs might have had a couple more goals if ga had a more talented right winger than Jim ppin, BIGGEST GUESSING GAME going around right now ie what kind of a 'deal is Detroit general manager - coach Trenton Here | Friday Night Oshawa Crushmen seem to have slipped somewhai in tne Eastern Ontario Junior "B" Hockey League: Although Crushmen are four points behind league leading Cobourg, who have 17, and 'three behind second place Quinte; so things aren't really as bad as they might appear. The rest of the league has Peterborough tied with Crush- men after 12 games; Kingston next, with nine points after 11] ' games, and Trenton at the bot- tom with 13 games played and no victories, Oshawa will have an oppor- tunity to gain some ground in the next few days as they meet Trenton here Friday and Co- bourg on Monday, Although Fri- day's game in Oshawa should provide two. more points for Crushmen it will have little sig- nificance as Cobourg goes to Trenton Sunday and will likely pick up two points, Monday will be the more cru- cial game when Oshawa goes to Cobourg. A win in Cobourg would move Crushmen to with- in one point of Quinte and two points of Cobourg, All this and they. would still have two games in hand over the league leaders. These projections into the future are .on the assump- tion that Trenton will follow the form of their last 13 games and lose to Oshawa and Cobourg. Phil Solomon has dropped to fifth in the points race, but this is partly due to the fact that Oshawa has not played a game in almost two weeks. Dave Gavel, who is still lead- ing the league in goals against, with a 2.57 average will be in goal for Oshawa. Friday's game against Tren- ton will feature a "Stick Night', THE WINNER --Boston Bruins left Toronto Maple Sid Abel going to cook up now that Chicago Black Hawks have blocked his attempts to get defenceman Howie Young. Strange that Abel wouldn't realize that Chicago has first refusal on all Los Angeles players, since most NHL clubs with working pacts with minor league teams have this agreement. And all of Abel's crying about "Chi- cago hanky panky"' won't cloud the issue in this one, that he was sleeping at the switch. While Abel might be a good coach, there's some speculation on his other job. About the only deal in which he can say he's ahead is the original Young deal, where Wings picked up Roger Crozier, But how about all that young talent he's let slip away the past two or three seasons? GETTING BACK to Oshawa Generals, who have been busy this week preparing for a crucial game here Satur- day against Peterborough TPT Petes, coach Ted O'Connor expects a vast improvement from his charges. They've worked hard in practice this week and O'Connor has had a couple of heart-to-heart talks with some of the players. He thinks some of the problems might have been cleared up and that Saturday's game will mark the beginning of @ climb in the league standings.

Cleaners 3-1 as Temo Vertia and Greg scored while Americo Coscarella scored for Scugog. Plant 31-29 in GM Employees Basketball League play after taking a 27-18 lead at the end of the third quarter, Alumni were led by Dave Thompson with 14 points, while Paul Smith scored seven, Dave LaConde four and Maurice Lake, Roger Lang and Jim and Don Barr. Canadian Corps beat Scugog Kirk Wilson, Reid Corps for Canadian played during the playoffs last spring, few r ber that the club was only a fourth place team, even with Orr, Wayne Cashman, Bill Heindl! and Danny O'Shea in the lineup. If the club couldn't finish first with that quartet, how can anyone expect a first, second or third place finish this year? There should be a vast improvement in. the team over the last half of the schedule, Perhaps some of the players are still sitting around waiting for Orr to carry the mail, as he did most of the time last year, It's about time they realized there isn't an Orr out there but that the club can succeed if everyone does his own job. WHILE MOST of the attention locally is concerned with the fortunes of the Generals, there's another club in the city worthy of your support, the junior "B" Crushmen. The club entertains Trenton Apple Kings at Civic Audi- torium tomorrow night and manager Bob Heard reminds us that it's stick night once again. To clear up some con- fusion that existed last time, there's only one stick per child, who must be accompanied by an adult. If there are two children, there must be two adults in order for each child to get a stick. Clear now?
