Kitchener and Hamilton Red Wings play- ed to a 5-5 tie last night in Hamilton. In the only other Junior 'A' game on tap, To ronto Marlies scored a 7-3 vic- tory in the Liftlock City. Those results protected Osh- awa's three-point lead over the "Petes"' while Kitchener maintained their one-point Jead over Hamilton, in third place. Marlies took over first place alone, but this also gave them one more game played than Niagara Falls, who can climb back even again to- night, when they host London Nationals NORMALLY, tomorrow.. night's game would be con- sidered a cinch two-point gain for the Generals. But there's one catch, the Ottawa 67's have been improving lately and the Generals suffered -a couple of casualties last week- end that have seriously de- pleted their scoring strength. Dale Tallon has the most as- sists of anybody on the Osh- awa team and he's out with a shoulder injury, for at least another week. Fred O"Don- nell's injury was more ser- ious, a dislocation or separa- tion of the sacroiliac joint, which at first was feared to mean a_ six-week recovery period. However, Fred has responded particularly well to treatment and by Wednesday, they had him take short ses- sions in a wheel-chair. He has gone home to Gananoque, for Christmas, but will take ther- apy treatment in a Kingston hospital. They hope to have him back on skates within three weeks and then likely able to perform again, in an- other week -- all of which adds up to about January 20, when Ottawa plays here again. OSHAWA CRUSHMEN face an acid test tonight. Their roster has been depleted in the past 10 days, as the Gen- erals called up a few of their top forwards, to fill gaps cre- ated by injuries Te Crush- men, in turn, hav® gone to their most available source of supply, the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association's 1967 On- tario championship Midget team. Several members of the City League's Midget All- 6tars have been working out with the Crushmen this week and they'll get their chance to show whether or not they are ready for OHA company, in the big game tonight against the Junior 'B' Petes. If Crush- men can knock off the league- leading Don Byes here to- night, they'll move up into a tie for first place in the Lake- shore 'B' race. SCHOOLBOY curlers for this area (District No. 5) will be in action here at the Osh- awa Curling Club tomorrow. Barry Timbers and his power- ful rink from Uxbridge will be prime favorites to repeat. He has two-out-of-three of his last year's rink still with him to defend the trophy they won Jast year, when they were Ontario's schoolboy cham- pions and representatives in the Canadian Schoolboy curl- ing championship finals.

Osh- awa's "high schools" have several teams competing to- morrow but Barry Timbers' rink is heavily favored to take the honors, for this dis- trict ON THE BUTTON! THERE are two schools of thought, among the average members of the curling fraternity, con- cerning the OCA ruling with (we refuse to say '"'against") Alfie Phillips Jr. and his Ca- nadian Brier championship rink, for accepting prizes, valued higher than the amount allowed by the OCA, Personally, we think the As- sociation has been complete- ly "chicken". This is not the first time this season that the Phillips rink has accepted prizes above the stipulated value -- they won a big one in Kirkland Lake earlier this season. Secondly, they were quoted before the final CBL tournament game was play- ed, that they intended to ac- cept the prizes. That's delib- erate flaunting, if we ever heard of it. When they did, then the OCA automatically should have suspended them instead of that chicken, pussy- foot move they made, of ex- tending the time when Phil- lips could say yes or no. They put Phillips and his rink on the spot, to let themselves off the hook, because they didn't have what it takes to issue a ruling, right at the time. WRONG TURN? The con- duct of the Phillips' foursome, when representing Canada in the Scottish Cup world cham- pionship play in Scotland last year and to get closer to home, the exhibition they put on at the Annandale Club, during the Dunlop Bonspiel playoffs, a few weeks ago, hasn't endeared them to the curling fraternity and in our opinion, accounts for the lack of support they have received from other top-ranking curl- ers in Ontario, But to be fair to them and to all other young up-and-coming curlers, this sport in the past six or seven years, has graduated com- pletely from the strict, old- time confines of "amateur"' and "fun and_ fellowship'. The value of the dollar isn't as good but the amount has increased and all kinds of bonspiels are being run with major prizes. It's time the old-timers who dominate the Ontario Curling Association either '"'woke up" or got in some new blood and new thinking. Their restricting prizes rule is antiquated. Curling, like most major sports, now has two groups with a distinction that is very evident. There are us ama- teurs -- but there are also the "'pros" -- who compete strictly for prizes, seeking the loot and "'to show a profit" for the season. There are two groups -- let's admit it -- but ALSO -- and this goes not just for the Ontario Ass6cia- tion but for every curling club in the province, let's do some- thing about it. Let's force them to admit and declare themselves -- let's make two separate groups -- merely by the size of the entry fee and the value of the prizes -- in two different groups OMHA Pee Wee League: Exhibition game; Novice' All Stars vs Harman Park; at Newcastle Arena, 11:00 a.m OMHA Midget Exhibition Game: at Civic Auditorium 4:15 p.m, Bowmanville Minor Assoc.: ibition Doubleheader; chmond Hill vs Bowman- vil Juveniles, at 7:00 p.m. and Trenton Midgets vs Bow k Manville Midgets, at 9:00 p.m.; both games at Bowman ville Arena Lakeshore Novice League: Bay Ridges at Markham, 11:00 a.m Lakeshore Pee Wee League: Markham at Whitby, 4:45 p.m Lakeshore Bantam League: Whitby at Lindsay, 4:30 p.m ® Skis he ¥ 61 KING ST.
