« MILT SCHMIDT of Boston "Bruins, has been in the city = almost all this week, scan- "ning the Generals for talent "that may be protected when "the "draft" blows later this year and of course, the for- mer NHL All-Star centre has also been giving some advice 'and tips to the Generals. If the Generals need anything more in the way of incentive, they should have got the mes- ISPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell Associate Sports Editor win last night, by winning over Toronto Marlies here to- morrow night but they'll be facing a team that will likely have had a "touch of the whip" just before they take to the ice at Civic Auditorium. We suspect that coach "'Gus" Bodnar wasn't too happy when Oshawa came from be- hind to tie the Marlies last Sunday afternoon and cer- tainly that defeat in Hamilton sage last night. If they had last night, will not have im- time to watch any of the proved his disposition any telecast out of Hamilton, they more than it improved the would have seen the Junior Red Wings giving Toronto Marlies a solid 5-1 licking and might have got some ideas of how to score on the Toronto club and at the same time, contain their attack. And then, if they were still up, listening to the newscast, they would have heard that Peterborough defeated London Nationals 4-2. YOU COULD BET that,a lot of Kitchener hockey fans and -members of the Ran ' team, would be watchin : TV game from Hamilton} cause up in the Kitche Waterloo area they have t concerns right now. They are « currently tied with Marlboros 'for first place but while the Rangers are hoping the Tor- onto team doesn't gain any ground, it must also have * given them some concern to *,see the efficiency with which » Eddie Bush's boys handled * Marlies last night. Marlies' * lost their regular goalie early - in the game -- he wasn't feel- * ing well -- and that may have been the deciding factor, but "at any rate, Red Wings are now only four points behind . Toronto and Kitchener, be- sides holding third place all », alone. THE PECKY "PETES" put it right up to the Oshawa Gen- erals, with their win over Lon- don last night. That gave the "Petes" a total of 34 points, four more than the Generals and moved the Liftlock City Juniors into seventh place, a point ahead of Montreal Jun- jor Canadiens. It's been a mystery to Peterborough fans -- and to others in the OHA Junior 'A' circuit, how the "Petes," with all the talent they have in the league's top ten scorers, have stayed down at the bottom of the heap so long. But now that they are getting better goal - tending and stronger defensive play, they are starting to move up. OSHAWA GENERALS can tatch up with Peterborough's B "Petes,"" team's standing. Tonight, St. Kitts are in Niagara Falls and the faltering London Nationals visit Kitchener. Every team has had a touch of the old "snakes and ladders" bit, during the schedule and it could be Marlies' turn to hit the skids for a while. At any rate, the Generals will be out to help push 'em down, be- cause those two points avail- able here tomorrow night are badly needed by Oshawa, in order to stay within reach of Montreal -- and would you believe, London? CAPSULE SPORTS: Word is out, the NHL has given in- structions to their referees to crack down, real hard, on players who take liberties with officials, such as actual pushing, as well as verbal abuse, etc. . . TOMMY WILLIAMS, who hasn't seen much action this year, sparked Boston's 5-1 upset of Canadiens last night, with two goals less than 50 seconds apart, early in the first period . . . DETROIT RED WINGS hadn't recovered from their Boston treatment and they also suffered a 5-1 defeat last night, at the hands of the Chicago Black Hawks.

Oshawa Times Photo By THE CANADIAN PRESS Last - place Boston Bruins, with nothing to do in the Na- tional Hockey League but make i es of th Ives, are making nuisances of 'them- selves. Buried in the cellar with little chance for a playoff berth, the Bruins stepped into the path of Montreal Thursday night and the Canadiens stumbled and fell 5-1 in Montreal. Only two nights earlier, the Bruins pulled the same trick on Detroit. The Red Wings still had not recovered by Thursday as the league - leading Chicago Black Hawks flattened them 5-1.

The Canadiens managed a |2-1 score on Gilles Tremblay's }counter, but Boston goalie Ber- nie Parent, playing his ninth game, stopped them after that. Boston made sure with goals by Bob Dillanbough at the end of the first period and Ron Mur- phy and Pit Martin in the sec- ond stanza. Detroit lost its chance to pull even with fourth - place Tor- onto, which was idle, as the Black Hawks continued their rush away from the pack.

By CLIFF GORDON Whitby Lascos Steelers, led by defenceman Wayne Chees- man, last night bombed the luckless Woodbridge Rangers 13-1 in the final game of the schedule for both clubs. For the Rangers, it brought to an end an unsuccessful season, in which they won a mere three games and had a total of 310 goals scored against them. This was their first term in the Met- ro Jr. "B" League. For the Lasco Steelers, who failed to make the playoffs: last year, it was a much more plea- sant season. They finished in third spot, as the result of the goals for and against average, and will open the quarter-finals here at the Whitby Arena, Sun- day night, with game time call- ed for 7.30 p.m. York Steelers will provide the opposition.

Ken Knapton scored two goals as did Mike Taylor and Al Quintillian. Don O'Donaghue and Jim McCord each scored in the high scoring affair. Robbie Hurlbert spoiled goalie Ralph Moore's bid for his fourth shutout, at the 16.12 mark of the first period. The Lascos were full bene- fit for their win as they all play- ed "heads up" hockey. They led 3-1 at the end of the first period, 6-1 after the second frame and then turned on the coal in the final stanza, when they banged home seven unan- swered goals. JUS' TALKING .. .

Brooklin Boys Top Cannington By CLIFF GORDON BROOKLIN--Brooklin Haines and Vesy Midgets won the first game of their home-and-home series against the Cannington Midgets, Wednesday night in Cannington, as they took the measure of the home club 8-5. The win gives coach Doug Contractors team a three-goal lead going into the second game of the series, tonight at the Brooklin Arena, at 9:00 o'clock. Ken Down and Peter Heron sparked the _ Brooklin attack with two goals each. Don Mitchell, Terry Toutant and Randy Church each snared aces in a winning cause. David Sproule, Ron Short, Rowland Moore, Ron Ducos and Harry Taylor each blinked the red light once for the losers. Brooklin got off to a slow start, as they appeared to vast- ly underestimate the Cannington team. It was 2-1 for the home side at the end of the first, 3-1 at the end of the second and Brooklin appeared to be in trouble. Coach Williams read the riot act to his charges at the end of the second frame and they came out with fire in their eyes and the word "goal" written on their hockey sticks. It did not take the Brooklin crew long to let Cannington know they meant business as they rapped home five goals in the space of 10 minutes, to put the game out of reach. mussen skipped his Kitch rink to the Ontario seniors curl- ing championship Thursday night with a 9-5 playoff win over Andy Grant of Unionville. The two rinks finished the three-day round-robin event tied with 5-1 won-lost records.

Asmussen lost his only game of the event 8-7 to J. Aubrey Lyons of Fenelon Falls. The Kitchener rink came back to beat Art Strickland of Toronto Scarborough 8-4 in the after- noon draw. Unionville advanced to the playoff by defeating Gem Comba of Simcoe 8-6 and side- lining Bob Henderson of Tor- onto Dixie 8-6.
