10 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, June 8, 1967 SPORTS BEAT | By Eric Wesslby Times Sports Editor OSHAWA IS getting to be quite a hub for hockey ac- tivity, with two chief scouts LIVES IN OSHAWA... ment was when Blair and his Minnesota cohorts were dis- cussing the drafting of de- and a general r cur- rently residing here. Boston Bruins' announcement that Garry Young will succeed Harold "Baldy" Cotton as chief scout for the National Hockey League club will be greeted enthusiastically by the friends he has mae here in the past year. COTTON HAS put in 26 years' service as chief scout for the Bruins, ang he has become a well known figure in hockey rinks throughout Canada. You could usually find him sitting in a cor- ner of the building, by him- self or with one of his bird dogs (a part-time scout), Un- fortunately for Harold, Bos- ton clubs haven't been able to muster too many _ serious threats through the years, al- ough they were close on several occasions in Stanley Cup competition. GARRY YOUNG moves in at a good time, with Milt Schmidt taking over as gen- eral manager. The Bruins have some of the finest young players in professional hock- ey at the moment, and if they are able to come up with one or two youngsters with talent such as that possessed by Ted Green, Ed Westfall, Johnny Bucyk, they'll be in the thick of the race next season. It's too much to expect them to come up with another Bobby Orr, but they can at least lay claim to him. OSHAWA'S OTHER two- residents occupying NHL spots are Wren Blair and Ted O'Connor, general manager and chief scout, respectively, for the Minnesota North Stars. Blair did quite a bit of wheeling and dealing during draft proceedings in Montreal Tuesday, and if he can lure some of Canada's top ama- teurs into the fold after next year's Winter Olympics, North Stars could have quite a club. TELEVISION station CFTO earried a short feature on the draft proceedings, and per- haps the most interesting seg- Elmer Vasko from Chicago Black Hawks. It gave the ordinary fan a little in- sight as to how the clubs dis- cuss such matters. VASKO HAS given Blair assurance that he plans to play next season, but the thing that puzzles me is how Vasko could go so long in the draft without being nabbed by someone else. Of course, he might not have played with a club other than Chicago or Minnesota. He lives in Chi- cago, which isn't that far from Minnesota. BY THE TIME you read this, the "Red" Kelly situa- tion could be all ironed out. Toronto Maple Leafs continue to have the uncanny knack of coming out of situations with pie on their faces. Leafs weren't willing to part with Kelly for nothing, it seems, although that's about what they paid for him in the first place, and the redhead has certainly given more than many thought he had left to the Leafs. BUT, AS was said long ago, there's no sentiment in sport, and Leafs proved this by put- ting. Kelly on their list of fill- ins when Los Angeles: Kings didn't draft him early, Some feeling exists that Leafs should have protected cap- tain George Armstrong, but why? He's 37 years of age, and any general manager would protect a younger play- er if given the same oppor- tunity. If he didn't, he wouldn't be general manager of a winner too long. OSHAWA CANADIAN Le- gion Branch 43 Minor Base- ball Association will attend Maple Leaf Stadium on Fri- day, June 16, as guests of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League.

"Ted and I worked together last winter," Garry says, "but now it's every man for him- self." A native of Kingston, Young joined the Bruins' organization a year ago, after serving as Kingston area scout for New York Rangers. He has signed a three-year contract with the Bruins, gen- eral manager Milt Schmidt said in making the announcement.

The selections by the nomi- nating committee were the few- est since the hall of fame was organized in 1961. Broda, born in Brandon, Man., in 1914, was one of the most colorful characters in hockey. He played goal for Toronto Maple Leafs for 14 years, with one year out for military serv- ice during the Second World War. He played on five Stanley Cup teams and had a record of 13 playoff shutouts and the most playoff games played at 101. He won the Vezina Trophy twice as the league's outstanding goal- tender. Always a victim of over weight, Broda was set down and threatened with loss of salary until he lost 14 pounds in 1945. He sweated it off at a Toronto gymnasium, missed one game and '"'felt great." GOALIE VICTIMIZED In 1934, Broda's room-mate, Charlie Irvine pulled a stunt on the goaltender that he didn't admit to until more than 30 years later. ; Broda was out when his new suit was delivered and Irvine told the delivery boy to take it back and cut two inches off the legs.

Broda currently coaches Lon- don Nationals of the Ontario Hockey Association Junior A series, Storey, who becomes the sev- enth referee to be named to the "Red Storey hockey's fabulous fat signed as National Hockey f Fame Broda, hall of fame, resigned over a dispute with league president Clarence Campbell. PLAYED FOOTBALL A former football player with Toronto Argonauts, he scored three touchdowns in the final quarter of the 1938 Grey Cup game against Winnipeg. His dispute with Campbell came after a wild free-for-all during a Stanley Cup playoff game between Montreal Cana- diens and the Black Hawks at Chicago. Campbell was quoted as say- ing Storey "froze" on two calls. Campbell later said he was quoted out of context, but Storey tefused to return. "He (Campbell) can't erase his accusations from the minds of the fans,"' Storey said at the time. He had entered the NHL in 1950 and had referred more than 2,000 games during his nine sea- sons in the league. REFEREES IN MINORS Storey still referees at a num- ber of minor hockey tourna- ments throughout the winter. Colville, a native of Edmon- ton, began his professional career with New York Rangers in 1936 and played for the club 1$ years. Born in 1914, he was mandos who won the Allan Cup in 1943 while serving in the Ca- nadian armed forces. He played four more seasons with the Rangers after the Sec- ond World War, retiring in 1949 because of an injury. He now lives in Vancouver. Oliver was one of the lightest Players in hockey at 155 pounds. He played with Boston Bruins for eight years and joined New York Americans in 1934 where he played for three years.

The win was the Redmen's ond-place Maple Leafs, in over- time, and on both occasions the games were played in the Gar- |dens. The Leafs won their meeting in Brooklin via a 13-9 score. , Don Craggs, a real hard- working scrappy player for the Redmen, was the scoring hero as he triggered four goals. His third goal of the game, coming at 18.12, tied the score for Broooklin who had trailed in the game 11-8, with eight minutes to go. Craggs got the winner at 1.24 of the overtime stanza, when hc took a pass from Ken Lotton and beat goalie Geo. Stephens cleanly. Other goal scorers for Brook lin were Terry Davis with two and one helper and Ken Lotton with two goals and as many assists. Mike Gray came up with a pair, including one into the open net, with eight seconds to go in the extra stanza. PRODUCE TEAM EFFORT Captain Bob Hanna added a single tally, as did Tom Conlin and John Dale, who got re- venge against his former mates, who dumped him after playing two games. Ken Craw- ford and Paul Tran each add- ed singles in a winning cause. Ron "Groucho" McNeill led the attack for Morley Kells' Toronto team with four goals. Dave Hall added three, with singles to Bob Davidson, Gra- ham Gair, John Roberts, Ross Otham and Brian "Butch" Kee- gs an. The first period was a real sizzler with both goalie Stephens and Bob McCready, who started in goal for Brook- lin, making some fine saves. McCready was especially sharp on Ron Roy and McNeil in the Dillard Stays With Ottawa OTTAWA (CP) -- Fullback Jim Dillard's contract with the Ottawa Rough Riders Football Club must remain in force, Mr. Justice Ferguson of the Ontario Supreme Court ruled Wednes- day. A handing down his decision in a civil action between Dil- lard and the club, the judge also ruled that $2,696 the club deducted from the player's pay last year must be returned to im. Mr. Justice Ferguson refused a claim by the club seeking pay- ment of an identical sum from Dillard. The club reimbursed Oakland Raiders of the Amer- ican Football League for half of a $5,000 bonus that team paid Dillard in 1965, although he never reported to them. The decision awarded nominal damages of $1 against Dillard because of misrepresentation on the backfielder's part when he signed contracts with the Ot- tawa club. Costs of the action are to be shared jointly by Dil- sisted on 95. lard and the club. that the | £S7'D e CANADIAN RYE WHISKY wr SONS UNITED, WALEEAVILLE, CANADA HAA WALKER & Crayley, Tom Butler and Gary MacLean.

GOALIE INJURED The second period almost proved to be the beginning of the end for the Brooklin team, as their number one goalie, Bob McCready, was hit in the eye by a blistering shot and had to retire from the game. His re- placement, Gary Drysdale, came in and while very jittery at first, steadied away and Played a fine game for the Red- men. Toronto held a 7-5 edge at the end of the second. Maple Leafs appeared head- ed for victory in the third per- iod, as they led 11-8 with less than eight minutes to go. One Leaf player was heard to tell Don Craggs, just as they left the penalty box that "thank goodness 'this one won't go overtime" (Leafs had played four overtime games and not won one). Craggs was quick to answer "this one is not over Buddy" and quickly went in to score his second goal of the contest. This really sparked Brook- lin's attack and they swarmed all over the Leafs for the bal- ance of the period and came within an inch of taking the contest in regular time, as Davis bounced one off the post. In the overtime stanza, it was all Brooklin. Craggs at 1.24, Davis at 6.11 and then Gray at 9.52 to give Brooklin a 15-12 verdict and a three-point lead over the Leafs, with Brooklin having one game in hand, and game. His charges have drop- ped two overtime contests in a row, to the Redmen and on two other occasions the best Leafs could do was a split on points in games played with Peterbor- ough ... Don Craggs, who sat out last year, is making up for lost time this season. He was mighty sharp again last night, scoring four goals, but also had the only major penalty of the game for Brooklin, sitting out a five - minute sentence, with Johnny Roberts of Toronto... Brooklin is idle now until Sat- urday night, when 'they play host to their arch rivals. of many years, the Brampton Ex- celsiors .. . The Redmen have claimed two decisions over Brampton to date but on both oceasions, the margin of vic- tory was only one goal... An interesting note in. regard to Brampton, is that Gordie Thompson, their number one bad boy in years gone by, has not received a single penalty in the two games played against Brooklin (perhaps we spoke too soon) Brampton, in their last- appearance at the Brooklin Arena, caused a lot of eyebrows to rise with their speed and ball control... At time of writing, it was not known if goalie Bob McCready would be available for Saturday night's game. Oshawa & District SOFTBALL DOUBLE HEADER TONIGHT!
