6 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, January 13, 1967 TRAVEL WITH GENERALS... Eventful Trip For Times' Carrier Boys It was quite a week for two Oshawa Times carrier boys: A road trip with Oshawa Gen- erals. Away from home over- night. A train trip. Sleeping in an upper berth. Eating in the Same restaurant as the Russian national hockey team. And, top- Ping it all off, a practice ses- = sion with the Generals. The boys, David Luther, 97 | Agnes St., Oshawa, and Bruce | Stainton, 155 Queen St., Port Perry, were accompanied by Times assistant circulation manager T. D. Malcolmson. From the time they started their trip, early Sunday morn- ing, until Monday morning, the : boys enjoyed themselves. ; Trainer Stan Waylett of the : Ontario Hockey Association © Junior 'A' team was the first to greet the boys, at the Cana- dian National railway station in Oshawa.

Campbell Associate Sports Editor BONSPIEL CURLING, a different breed of cat from either "'club curling' or the competitive brand at various provincial levels, was demonstrated in superb fashion, for local enthusiasts of the besom an' stane sport, in the 23rd annual R. §. McLaughlin Trophy Three-Day Bonspiel. The definition seems to embrace the best of the other two types mentioned, for bonspiel curling is a pleasing mixture, for most players, of friendly fellowship and social hospitality. However, while fun and hospitality attract entries and add a special appeal for the annual event, big bonspiels also have offe 'other key factor, sometimes disguised, but when boa = out on the ice, you realize that most of them "came 0 curl', i THIS WEEK'S annual Oshawa curling classic attracted large galleries of spectators, and they were rewarded with some iruly sensational shots and displays of rare skill. The hospitality extended by bonspiel chairman Doug Keel and his committee; by the OCC members who opened their homes, to entertain all of the 48 rinks; the tasty Chinese food supper on Monday night; the traditional buffet dinner on Tuesday evening; all these enhanced the popularity of this bonspiel with the out-of-town entries. This is why most of them have already put in a reservation for next year's 'spiel. We think the special attraction for curlers -- both spectators and par- ticipants, is, that in this type of bonspiel competition -- with good curlers present, they put on some thrilling perform- ances, shots that are almost fabul That is b , in a bonspiel, each skip and most players know exactly what spot has to be tried and made -- to get the best results. They do not look for an easier or second-best shot -- there's just one "best results' shot to be played. Because they, skips and each player, pay a lot more attention to "broom and weight" in bonspiel play -- then. the spectators get their thrills -- because many of these near-impossible shots are made -- and these are the kind that change the trend of a game. CANADA'S SUCCESS at the International hockey level, has not only created a lot more interest than ever present before, but more attention, at several levels, due to the Presence of newcomers. NHL fans are attentive this time, due to Carl Brewer's presence. Not since Whitby Dunlops were there, have the hockey fans of this Ajax-Whitby-Osh- awa-Peterborough area shown so much interest -- created of course by Danny O'Shea being one of our 'Nationals'. Victory in the Centennial tournament at Winnipeg was an- other big boost and the Canucks have been doing well since then, adding further to their prestige and raising hopes that in March, when the world championships are held in Vienna, that Canada can claim the title. Nationals' coach, Jackie McLeod continues to warn his team and all concerned, that Russia and Czechoslovakia will both be much tougher at Vienna. Russia nipped Canada last night, 5-3, in Kitchener. OSHAWA GENERALS trail sixth-place St. Catharines Black Hawks in the OHA Junior 'A' race, by a margin of our points -- or two games, if both wins. Ted O'Connor's crew gets that opportunity tonight and Saturday since Osh- awa plays in Kitchener tonight and are at home to St. Kitts tomorrow night. Then on Sunday afternoon, Generals invade Maple Leaf Gardens for a league fixture against To- ronto Marlboros. But facing that kind of a grim schedule, three games in as many days -- two of the maway from home -- that's certainly no picnic. But the Generals will likely respond because if they don't manage to pick up two or three points over the long weekend, then they'll be in trouble. Hantilton won at home, 7-4, last night, over Niagara Falls Flyers and that puts Red Wings tied with Mariies for second place, with 32 points, one behind the league-leading London club. A win by Kitchener tonight, will put them alongside Hamilton and Toronto, But that isn't the most serious situation -- Petes lost at home last night, to Montreal Canadiens, so now the Liftlock City boys are still two points behind Generals -- but the Junior Habs now trail Oshawa by only one point.

They were Nakina, a Sudbury Wolves Memorial Cup great, along with Toe Blake, Max Bennett, etc. He came to Osh- awa from Toronto to play Senior Mercantile hockey here. "Winkie" was the half-pint sized left winger, who could virtually fly but wasn't big enough to make the big time. Orville, youngest of the three brothers, played with Oshawa Generals, in three Memorial Cup playoff sessions. "Winkie" was the Junior 'B' star of St. Michael's College "Buzzers" but never played Junior for Oshawa. He, too, played for Oshawa GM-Men in Mercantile play and was a member of the Oshawa Chevies, when they won the OHA Intermediate 'A' title in 1936. He turned professional with Omaha Knights, of the old U.S. Hockey League, from 1946 to 1950. '"Winkie" was also a speedy softball bunter and starred with Bill's Place when that team won the City Intermediate title, in 1939. On behalf of the Oshawa sports fraternity, we extend sympathy to brothers Nakina and Orville and to other mem- bers of the bereaved family.

The Rangers fired 26 shots at Boston's Ed Johnston. The loss left the Bruins in last place with 23 points. The Wings came up with a 50- shot barrage at Chicago goalie Glenn Hall as they gained re- venge for a 6-1 Wednesday night setback at the hands of the Black Hawks.

Henderson closed out the scoring with his second goal of the night early in the third pe- riod. The Hawks, who slipped to second place because of the New York victory over Boston, had 28 shots at Detroit goalie Roger Crozier. The victory was Detroit's third against the Hawks this year in nine meetings. Last year, the Red Wings managed only one win and two ties in 14 games with Chicago.
