12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, September 28, 1967 ! SPORTS BEAT By Eric Wesslby OF The Times Staff EXHIBITION .hockey games seldom generate much enthusiasm in a hockey town and that's been the case in Oshawa so far this year. But Saturday night's engagement at Civic Auditorium, between Minnesota North Stars and Pittsburgh Penguins, prom- ises to have a little some- thing extra, Here are two of the clubs generally regarded as the ones to beat for Na- tional Hockey League west- division honors PITTSBURGH, under the guiding hands of general manager Jack Riley and coach Red Sullivan, has gath- ered together the oldest club in the expansion group. "We had a winner last year in the American League." Riley says, "'so we can't start by telling our customers we're building for the future.' And why not? None of the west- ern division clubs can be considered a Stanley Cup threat yet, but if they're first in their own group, the fans won't mind. HOCKEY FACES a big challenge trying to sell tick- ets south of the border. Major league hockey is some- thing strange to most citizens in the United States, even in cities where hockey has flour- ished for years. The Times' Wayne Walters was talking to a Minnesota writer the other night and the Minnesotan had mever heard of players such as Bobby Baun, Kent Doug- las, Moose Vasko and Joe Szura. Oh, yes, he knew who Elmer Vasko was. Szura? He's a long-time minor leaguer getting a chance with California, in case the name isn't familiar to you. SEALS, BY the way, caught part of Oshawa Gen- erals' practice Tuesday night and were asking around who several of the boys were. You can be sure some names were jotted into little black books for future reference, although I'm sure some of the boys will earn themselves quite a reputation in the next couple of seasons. IT WAS WITH regret the club cut Bob Black. A popu- lar youngster, Black just couldn't find the range when in front of the net. And be- cause it's his last season of junior hockey, General man- agement figured it would be better to go with a youngster with two or more seasons of eligibility. Oshawa Generals have sent Gerry Walmsley, Roger Know- les and Doug Whiting back to the Junior 'B' Crushmen. This leaves the Generals with six. defencemen and_ three goalies still in camp. GENERALS FACE a tough task tomorrow night when they tackle Hap Emms' Niag- ara Falls Flyers in the roar- ing city. Paul Emms is ap- parently going to handle coaching duties for Flyers, who won't seem the same without Derek Sanderson around to stir up the fans around the circuit. Of course, Hap will be around, but even he has mellowed since his Barrie days, when he and Stafford Smythe used to carry on quite a feud. JACK BEATON sends along word that he's taken on man- agerial duties at the Whitby Curling Club and is there daily. The Ontario Dunlop major invitational bonspiel is all set to go again, with play scheduled for Oct. 11, 18, 25 and Dec. 1.

Mike Walton and Wayne Car- leton were the other Toronto marksmen, while Marcel Pro- novost and Dave Keon picked up two assists each. Walt Mc- Kenzie and Jerry Meehan were the Rochester goal - getters. Bruce Gamble played the first two periods in the nets for Tor- onto with Al Smith taking over, and shutting out Rochester in the third period. Lynn Zimmer- man, who played the entire game in the nets for Rochester, received a well-deserved round of applause from the fans for | his efforts throughout the game. Zimmerman stopped --_ such stars as Mahovalich, Keon and Armstrong, from point blank range, several different times. He stopped four blistering slap- shots off the stick of Mahov- lich during one shift, but. the big save of the night came in \the third period.
