' KINGSTON FRONTENACS scored from the opening face- off, before the big time clock had ticked off the first minute of play and that's when the Oshawa Crushmen -- should have got the message--Fron- tenacs had come to play! The homesters got this goal back end skated off on even terms, at the end of the first stanza but there was just not quite enough steam in their boilers to overhaul the three-goal margin the Limestone City lads established in the second period. The Crushmen finally got into high gear in the final frame but it was a little too late. With the score 6-5 and still nearly seven minutes left to play, Kingston Frontenacs stiffened their defences and hung on grimly, for what they fee] will prove the key win of the series. OSHAWA CRUSHMEN trav- e] to Kingston tomorrow night for the fourth game of this 4-out - of-7 semi-final series. We fully expect that coach Bob Dionne and per- haps general managed Ted O'Connor as well, will have some stern words of warning for the Crushmen. But just in case they forget (no way?) we'll make our own little con- tribution at this time. After finishing on top of the Lake- shore Junior 'B' League this winter, the Oshawa Crushmen are right now in danger of "blowing" the whole bit. That defeat last nght, right on their own ice, was a serious affair, eo serious, in fact -- if the Crushmen fail to recover, it will have meant a short sea- son! CRUSHMEN OPENED the series with the first win, right on Kingston ice, in a thrilling overtime session. That one gave the Oshawa team a big edge, because they also had "the odd game" advantage for their home ice, having finished highest in the stand- ings. Right now, the Crush- men have not only lost their advantage, what's worse, they are trailing. Before the series started, they didn't have to win on Kingston ice -- but they did and appeared to be home free. Now, after losing twice in succession at home, the situation is completely re- versed. Kingston Frontenacs can win this series by merely making sure they win their "home games" while Oshawa Crushmen now face a '"'must" ~they must win at least once more on Kingston ice, plus their remaining home games, if they are to survive. SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell Associate Sports Editor THE FOURTH GAME of this series is being played in Kingston tomorrow night, at 9:00 o'clock but the date of the fifth game has been changed. It was originally called for Friday night, here at Civic Auditorium but a switch was arranged last night and now the Crushmen will have their next home on Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock. Back-to-back dates, particularly at examinations time, creates a real hardship for the young players, so the postponing of the fifth game from Friday night to Satur- day afternoon was mutually agreed, with little argument. Sixth game of this series, if it lasts six games, will be play- ed in Kingston next Tuesday night and if a seventh and de- ciding game is necessary, that is scheduled for Friday, March the glorious 17th. NOVA SCOTIA pulled off the first major upset of the "Brier" yesterday at Hull, when they defeated Manitoba, to end that undefeated record and last night, Ontario hand- ed Saskatchewan their first defeat. This means that going into today's play, Manitoba, British Columbia and. Ontario are all tightly bunched in sec- ond place, with four wins and one defeat and Saskatchewan is close behind, with three wins and one. loss. Only Ron Northcott's rink from Cal- gary, Alberta's representa- tives and pre-event favorites, are still unbeaten but they have to play each of the four rinks mentioned above -- so right now the experts are pre- dicting that at least one xtra game will have to be played to decide the 1967 Canadian curling champions. CAPSULE SPORTS -- To- ronto Argos have signed Jim Greth, rated the No. 2 pass receiver in U.S. football. The college star is being touted as a prize catch, seems Pitts- burgh Steelers, Houston Oil- ers and San Diego Chargers, were all after Greth . .. JUAN MARICHAL is still holding out for a $125,000 con- tract and yesterday spurned the latest and highest offer from San Francisco Giants ... LONDON NATIONALS defeated St. Catharines Black Hawks 7-5 last night in Lon- don, leaving St. Kitts tied with Hamilton, for fifth place. The 'Petes' visit Hamilton tomorrow night and all Osh- awa fans will be pulling for Red Wings to win this one -- then hoping for an Oshawa victory in Niagara Falls, on Friday night.

Kingston won 6-5 to grab 2-1 lead in best - of- seven series, --Oshawa Times Photo Oshawa Crushmen gave Ed Leeman the run of Civic Audi- torium, Tuesday night. And the Kingston Frontenac forward wasted few opportuni- ties as he spearheaded his team to a 6-5 victory and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern On- tario Junior "B" Hockey League semi-final series. Leeman scored three goals while Terry Landon sniped a pair for Frontenacs. The other goal went to Stan Galt. Roger Knowles tallied twice for Crushmen while other marksmen were Phil Solomon, Gary Bradley and Pete La- framboise. Kingston earned this victory, outhustling Crushmen most of the way. The teams were tied 1-1 at the end of the first period f but Kingston forged ahead 4-2 = in the second. Crushmen didn't start to skate until the third period but each time they scored, Frontenacs would come right back with a goal of their own. Although Kingston goalie John Coates wasn't too busy, he prob- ably saved the day for Kingston Nationals Clip St. Catharines LONDON, Ont. (CP)--London Nationals won their final home game in regular-season On- tario Hockey Association Junior A play Tuesday night, defeating St. Catharines Black Hawks 7-5.

MISSING TWO ; Detroit will be without Paul Henderson and rookie Ray Cul- len for tonight's game. Hender- son has a pulled groin muscle and Cullen a chipped knee bone. The Rangers, who have lost three and tied one in their last four starts, hold only a three- point edge over the Leafs and five over the Canadiens. The Bruins will have winger Ross Lonsberry in uniform for tonight's game with the Hawks. He was called up from Okla- homa City of the CPHL to re- place injured Bob Dillabough. High - flying Black Hawks, bidding for their first NHL championship in the club's his- tory, could eliminate the Bruins from the playoffs with a vic- tory tonight. The Bruins have not made the playoffs since the 1958-59 season when they fin- ished in second place. The Hawks will be without de- fenceman Ed Van Impe, side- lined with a strained right knee, but Bobby Hull and Stan Mi- kita will be in action.

Sawchuk. backup to midway through the third period when, with Fronts ahead 5-4, he made a great save on a blast by Solomon and then re- gained his feet to smother a shot by Ron Webb from the re- bound. On the return rush, Landon made it 6-4 on a delayed pen- alty call. Goalkeeper Dave Gavel, who held Crushmen in the game through the first two periods, didn't have as much work in the third but received little help from his mates on the 'two goals that got past him during that 20 minutes. A power-play goal in the first minute of play set the pattern as Frontenacs once again got the jump. In each game, Kings- ton has picked up a quick lead on Crushmen. The goal was a picture play, with Mike Flanigan taking his time on the left point before making a perfect pass to Lan- don in the slot. Landon's screened shot was in the net before Gavel could move. Knowles got that one back at 8:24 as he took a drop pass from Bob Whiting and beat Kingston goalkeeper John Coates with a long, screened shot as Whiting took a defenceman out of the play. FRONTS PRESS Frontenacs continued to pres- sure Crushmen in the second, with Gavel coming through with a good stop on Pete Lollar while Bradley was serving a major for spearing goalkeeper Coates. While _ still shorthanded though, Crushmen fell behind as Leeman won a face-off at the Oshawa blueline, walked in to tuck the puck between Gavel's legs. Leeman made it 3-1 at 12:15, reversing his field after faking to go behind the net and slam- ming the puck past Gavel as the two collided at the edge of the crease. Galt upped Frontenacs lead to three goals as he beat Gavel from a face-off. Gavel kicked at the sliding shot and missed. A minute later, Crushmen started to show signs of life as they put pressure on Fronte- nacs which led to a goal. Crushmen had four men in Leeman Sets Pace In Fronts Victory deep in the Kingston end and Solomon, coming from behind the net quickly backhanded a loose puck past Coates to cut the deficit to two goals. Bradley restored Oshawa hopes early in the third as he beat Coates with a hard drive just past the goalkeeper's glove to make it 4-3. Leeman got that back, how- ever, with a screened shot and shortly after, Crushmen lost Whiting with a leg injury, cut- ting the defensive corps to two men, John Clayton and Gary Dionne. Neither Don Bowen nor Ted Dionne was dressed be- cause of injuries. With Walmsley taking a shift on the defence, Crushmen started to threaten once again and they pulled to within a goal of a tie when Knowles de- flected Walmsley's low shot past Coates. Coates followed this with his best saves of the night, on Solo- mon and Webb, and Landon re- stored the two-goal Kingston margin. Laframboise cut into the lead at 13:10 but Crushmen couldn't connect for a tying goal, al- though they removed Gavel for a sixth attacker in the final 30 seconds. They couldn't get a shot on goal, however, despite the extra attacker. Short Shots: Besides Ted Dionne and Bowen, Crushmen were without Frank Sawyer, sit- ting out the remainder of the series with a suspension, and Mike Hewer .. .
