10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, April 28, 1967 JOHNNY BOWER did "the splits" to make a stop, during last night's pre-game warmup and suffered a groin injury. That could just be the blow that prevents Toronto Maple Leafs from upsetting Cana- diens, in this current Stanley Cup classic. Bower has had these groin injuries before, in Stanley Cup playoffs a couple of years back, and had had at least one, during schedule hey are not only ex- mely painful, but they ender the victim practically helpless, especially to a goalie, who above all, must be ex- tremely nimble in moving from one post to the other. Maybe Bower should have put in some pre-game time calis- thenics, for a muscle warmup and then again, maybe that wouldn't have helped on this particular type of quick physi- cal motion. TERRY SAWCHUK was called into action and for the first two or three minutes, it looked as if Leafs would fill the Montreal net but young Vachon stood firm and when the opening flurry was over-- it was all over for the Leafs. With Vachon continuing to perform puck - stopping mir- acles and Big John Beliveau leading a sizzling attack, Leafs crumpled. Couldn't get the puck out of their own end for long periods. Habs ran it to 2-0 with two quick goals, mid- way through the period. The Leafs fought back in the sec- ond stanza, made it 2-1 and then after Richard had scored almost immediately, Toronto's Tim Horton fired a bomb from the point, to make it 3-2. But that was Toronto's last scor- ing success. Canadiens came back with two more and added one in the final frame. MONTREAL had everything going for them last night and probably because they were skating at top speed, all the 'way. Leafs couldn't match the sustained speed displayed by their opponents, while Beli- tions will be accepted in the veau, Backstrom and Richard Junior 'A', Juvenile, Inter, © all turned in superlative puck- 'AA', Intermediate 'A' and carrying. performances, be- 'Senior 'B' categories sides' getting five of their goals.

H. Campbell Associate Sports Editor to agree with the three-star selection that saw Canadiens given all three choices. THE FIGURE FILBERTS have come up with an interesting review of the Leafs' success or lack of it, in the past two weeks of playoff action. They haven't won a game on a Thursday night and they don't know whether or not this applies to the entire Toronto team or just to goalie Terry Sawchuk. He has been in the nets for the last four Thursday night games, two against Montreal and two against Chicago--and Toronto lost all four games. Faced with a sequence such as this, it would appear certain that if this series goes the limit, then Leafs haven't got a hope of winning the seventh game -- certainly not with Sawchuk in the nets -- because ifa seventh game is necessary, it will be next Thursday night, in Montreal. Meanwhile, we can all get ready for an exciting Saturday afternoon -- and that is Mr. Sawchuk's favorite time for starring.

Lloyd Gibson Named Head) Pro Athletes Whitby Minor Lacrossers By CLIFF GORDON WHITBY -- Whitby Minor La- ~crosse Association held its an- nual meeting this week, for the election of officers for the 1967 season, with a fine turn out of people, including a surprising number of interested mothers. Elected to the president's chair, certainly no stranger to lacrosse in Whitby, was Lloyd Gibson, Mr. Gibson is a former president of the Whitby organ- ization and is also a past-presi- dent of the Ontario Minor La- crosse Association. He will be a tower of strength to the Whit- by executive. Vice-president is Bill Phil- lips, who will also act in the capacity of registrar, a new position organized by the local group for the coming season. Secretary will be the "old re- * liable" Don Gilchrist. He has held this position now for sev- eral years and does a fine chore. Dave Walker, former presi- dent of the Association, is new treasurer and will handle the money for the year. He was forced to give up the extra duties of president due to health The executive is comprised of four members, Neil Murlar, Roy Howe, John Wooton and Vern MacCarl. Also elected were Bev. Taylor, Les Reed, Mr. Juby, and Mrs. Jerry Ravary. Mrs. Ravary is the first woman elected to the local Association but is a keen sports enthusiast and already plans to organize a women's group to work with the teams. The Whitby organization has registered teams in the Novice, Pee Wee and Bantam series. They also expect to have a Tyke series team entered in the Oshawa league. They have the option of entering them in the OMLA playdowns, if they feel they have the potential. Bill Lovelock, president of the Oshawa Minor Lacrosse As- sociation, has invited two Nov- ice teams from Whitby to take part in the Oshawa house league. Registrations for the Whitby Minor Lacrosse Association will be this Saturday morning, at the Whitby Arena, from 9:00 o'clock until 12:00 noon, and again next Saturday, at the sure that history would not be repeated. pickup Chuck Kelner alongside veterans Tim McCormack and Ray Adduono was the spark for a three-goal outburst that was "PARDON MY THUMB" --or did Eddie Shack say "Take That" as he gave Montreal Canadiens' John Ferguson (22) a thumb in the eye, as the season-long feudists mixed it up in the dying seconds of last night's fourth Stanley Cup playoff game in Toronto. ° The battlers held on to each other's arms until the lines- men arrived to pull them apart and in this skirmish, not a solid blow was struck.

BROOKLIN -- General Man- ager and Coach Fred Whalley, along with his hustling Brooklin "Redmen", say they are all ready and waiting for Saturday night at the Brooklin Arena, when the Redmen play a re- turn game against the powerful Oshawa Green Gaels. Brooklin took the measure of their younger counterparts last Sunday, at the Civic Auditor- ium, by a close 8-7 count. Some observers say it was lucky for Brooklin they man- aged to win. Whalley and his charges have other ideas and they say they will prove the win was no fluke. They are looking for just as tough, if not a little tougher, battle from the Gaels on Satur- day night. Manager Whalley stated last night that he plans to make some player changes for tomor- row night's game. He will not have Grant Heffernan nor Dave Lough in the line up and they may also be without Mike Gray and Elmer Tran, depending how Uxbridge make out in the hockey playdowns tonight. Brooklin will have Tom Con- lin, a rugged centre man and a former Green Gael, in uniform for the first time this year. Also dressed will be hard-checking Paul Tran, He got off to a late start this year but is making a determined bid to hold his spot on the Brooklin team. One of the big announcements out of Brooklin would have to be the signing of Bob Hanna, a six-foot-three, 214 pound de- fenceman.

To Canadiens, the goaltender, Rogatien Vachon, the day must hold pleasant memories. To the Leafs and netminder Terry Sawchuk the recollections must be bitter. For the second Thursday night in a row the Canadiens drubbed the Leafs by a 6-2 score and for the second time Sawchuk was the victim and Vachon the hero. To add further bitterness to Sawchuk's memories of the day is the fact he lost two Thursday contests to Chicago Black Hawks in the National Hockey League's semi-final round--the only two games the Hawks could win. Centres Ralph Backstrom and Jean Beliveau each scored twice for the Canadiens Thurs- day night and Henri Richard and Jim Roberts added the others. Mike Walton and Tim Horton scored for Toronto, BOWER INJURED Veteran Johnny Bower, who had held Montreal to a 3-2 overtime loss Tuesday night and a 3-0 shutout last Saturday at Montreal, had been sched- uled to start in the Toronto nets. However, he pulled up lame in the pre-game warmup due to an injured thigh muscle in his left leg and Sawchuk got the call. Ironically, Sawchuk had been sensational in Toronto's four wins against Chicago--but they were all played on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Toe Blake, WRESTLER WINS CASE IN COURT VANCOUVER (CP) -- John Tolos, known in wrest- ling circles as the Golden Greek, maintained his un- beaten record in and out of the ring Thursday. He was given the decision by Magistrate Lorne Jack- son in a closely contested assault case. Magistrate Jackson dis- missed the charge against the 245 - pound crew - cut grappler after ruling there was no evidence of intent to commit a criminal act the night Tolos was thrown the Montreal coach, saw it as an omen when he was advised just before game time that Bower was un- able to start. "We heard in the dressing room that he had been injured and I thought this is the break," Blake said. "He'd been murder to us in the last two games. "But then it could work two ways. Sometimes when you have a key player injured like this the substitute comes on strong to beat you." For a while it appeared 'the Leafs were going to do just that. VACHON SAVES DAY They peppered Vachon with eight shots in the first two min- utes of play, but the youngster held the puck out. Stanley Cup Point Parade By THE CANADIAN PRESS GA Pts. Pim This stand gave the Montreal- ers the necessary lift, Blake said. "Our guys picked up after that and the Leafs weren't nearly as aggressive for the rest of the game." The Montrealers took control near the mid-way mark of the period and were never headed as they outshot the Leafs 40-37 before 15,977 fans. : King Clancy, Leafs' assistant general manager, was uncon- cerned by the Thursday cycle of losses. When someone pointed out that unless the Leafs win the next two games the series will end in Montreal next Thursday, Clancy replied: "That won't make a bit of dif- ference. We just played badly tonight and didn't check and al- lowed them to roam. We'll be back and come out of Montreal Saturday with a victory." OPENS SCORING Backstrom gave the Cana- diens a 1-0 lead when he back- handed the puck past Sawchuk, after the Toronto netminder moved to block a shot by Claude Larose and the rebound squirted loose. Forty - three seconds later Beliveau scored when his shot bounced off Saw- chuk's leg into the net. Terry Sawchuk's Problem Richard scored 17. second. later after he got a partial breakaway near centre ice. Horton beat Vachon with a blast from the point for the Leafs final goal and from there in it was all Canadiens, with Beliveau, Backstrom and Rob- erts all beating Sawchuk.

Do you use Bower who may not be 100 per cent, go again with Terry Sawchuk or do you try Al Smith the re- placement? That's the question Toronto must solve. Every game of the series has been different from the one be- fore. Montreal caught the Leafs off balance and tired in the first game then Toronto played ter- rific second and third games. The way Canadiens were skat- ing tonight it's hard to say if the Leafs could have won even with Bower in goal. I was impressed with Ro- gatien Vachon and I think to- night was Jean Beliveau's best game of the series. Vachon broke the Leafs' back in the first two minutes with all those saves and then the for- wards -- led by Beliveau--took Vachon Play Best Games over and played well and got him those goals. The Leafs have always been a tough playoff team and they're not out yet. But the Canadiens have so many young legs out there. Sometimes the best players with old legs can't handle the best with young legs and it could make the difference in the series. Montreal has Beliveau and depth to carry it along and when he's going well he seems to give the others a lift and the necessary momentum.
