'8 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, April 4, 1967 'SPORTS BEAT ~ By Eric Wesslby -- 7m dren's Arena. Times Sports Editor OSHAWA GREEN Gaels conducted a couple of stiff workouts during the weekend and coach Jim Bishop was quite enthused over the condi- tion of most of the players. The sessions were held at the new outdoor box at Lake Vista Park, thanks to the fine weather. After stiff sessions Friday and Saturday, Bishop took things easy on the boys and cancelled a Sunday ses- sion. THEY'LL BE at it again this weekend, however, and it will probably be outdoors again since most of the arenas in the district still have ice for important hockey games. They plan on moving indoors sometime next week to get in some serious work preparing for the Ontario Lacrosse As- sociation junior "A' opener here May 8. Since Toronto Township supplies the opposi- tion for that opening game, Bishop wants to have his club flying high right from the opening whistle. WHILE TRYING to gain a spot on the four-times Minto Cup champions is a tough task, Bishop and assistant general manager Frank Wil- bur are high on the chances of some rookies catching on. One, who can't be considered a rookie since he played two years ago, is Larry Lloyd, who has looked sharp in the early going. He had a good season playing basketball and last season in junior "'B" com- pany should pay off for the Oshawa youngster. BIG CHARLIE Marlowe, who had a good Minto Cup series last year after a sea- son of one injury after an- other, looks in better shape than he did at any time last year, Bishop says, and this could also be traced to his performance on the basketball floor this winter at Central, where he was a teammate of Lloyd's. Other rookies who have looked good so far in- clude Peter Vipond and Wayne Davidson, last year with the Whitby Lasco Steel- ers. Others giving it a good try are Mike Lewis, Tom Vann, Bob Goulding, John Johnston and. Bill Langley. WHILE THE Green Gaels are busy preparing the junior - season, both district senior clubs swing into gear in seri- ous fashion this weekend, the senior "A" Brooklin club, coached by Fred Whalley, and the Oshawa Lasco Steelers, to be coached by Glen Lotton. Taking on managerial duties with the Steelers are Dave Stewart and Gerry Brett. In case you haven't met Dave, he's the happy go lucky chap you usually spot at any junior hockey or junior lacrosse game involving Oshawa. YOU COULD do worse than invest 50 cents in a hockey game at Children's Arena to- morrow night. Oshawa ban- tams entertain Stamford in the third game of their best- of-five Ontario Minor Hockey Association bantam "A" final and so far each team has won a game on home ice, quite a bit different than the story in the midget round between Oshawa and St. Catharines. If the teams come through with one of their typical perform- ances it will be a good game. OSHAWA ROYAL Canadian Legion Minor Baseball Asso- ciation president Ted McComb messages a reminder about minor baseball registration this week at the new Legion Hall on Simcoe St. South. There will be sessions Thurs- day and Friday from six to nine p.m. and one Saturday morning from nine to 12 noon. This is registration for all categories, tyke through jun- ior. Officials are hoping to organize juvenile ball again this season but won't make a move if the boys don't show enough interest. JUNIOR HOCKEY § semi- finals continue on two fronts tonight and so far the playoffs are going according to the book. The bottom five clubs in the Ontario Hockey Asso- ciation's junior "A" series have been eliminated and only the top four survive. If they don't change the script, Kitchener and Niagara Falls should wind up in the final but since this is junior hockey, don't rush out to make a wager on that. Kitchener and Niagara Falls have home ice advantage tonight, which should be to'their benefit, but the home team has lost the last four games involving the teams. /Minor Teams Play Finals | Oshawa Minor Hockey Asso- ciation teams moved into cru- cial 'championship _ finals") play, in three different series, last night at the Oshawa Chil- Various league title rounds being played this week, each calls for a best-of-three series, which means that losing the first game is neither fatal or final. In the Bantam 'B' Division, Local 1817 defeated Ernie Cay Lumber 4-1, in last night's game playoff action. These two teams meet in their second game, this evening, at 7.00 o'clock. Dan O'Brien, Steve Patche- son, Charlie Randall and Dare Wilson, each with one goal, accounted for the winners' total while Mike Noonan saved Cay Lumber from the white- wash treatment. ONE-GOAL MARGIN The first game of the Ban- tam 'A' finals was a_nip-and- tuck affair with Local 1500 eking out a 3-2 decision over Local 2784.

After his retirement from ac- tive play he turned to coaching junior hockey, returning to the NHL in 1947 as coach of Chi- cago Black Hawks for three years. He left hockey for good at the end of the 1949-50 season and now is semi-retired. Until recently he operated the Conroy Hotel in north Toronto.

So at the risk of being charged with fortune-telling or practising verse without poetic licence, they forecast the out- come of this year's Stanley Cup playoffs. The three forecasters are Sid Smith and Danny Lewicki, re- tired National Hockey League forwards, and Madam Zelda-- the medium with the message. Smith, a left winger for 11 years with Toronto Maple Leafs, predicts: 'Chicago Black Hawks won the National this season and they've got a strong team, but they're not a good bet in the playoffs."

"Toronto will beat the Hawks in a long series and Montreal will beat the Leafs for the cup." LEWICKI AGREES Lewicki, a left winger who played in 461 games with Tor- onto, New York and Chicago, agreed that the Canadiens will be hard to stop.

Assist, Film Shows NEW YORK CP)--Films of a controversial portion of Sun- day night's game between Chi- cago Black Hawks and New York Rangers corroborated the official scorers' version that the Hawks' Stan Mikita did not earn an assist on a third-period goal by Doug Mohns. The assist would have en- abled Mikita to break the one- season National Hockey League record for total points. He fin- ished with 97, tying the record set by Chicago's Bobby Hull last season.

"Toronto will win the semi- finals. "One good Canadien isn't referring to Boom Boom Geoffrion, who made a comeback with the Rangers this season after retir- ing from the Canadiens two years ago. "The Toronto team. is too old to beat the Habs. They've got no power play and a weak de- fence. And don't forget the lep- reciauns are King Clency's property. They don't like Punch Imlach."
