'PAGE £IGH1 rises -- " THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1928 wn SHAMROCKS HOCKEY CLUB REVIEW PAST AND PLAN COMING YEAR Oshawa Shamrocks Elect Officers for 1929 Season HARRY LECKIE Who was last night appointed first Vice-President of the Oshawa Shamrock Hockey Club. Maple Leafs and Pirates One of the two teams the Maple Leafs have yet to meet in the N.H.L. series will be providing the opposi- tion at the Toronto Arcna Gardens tonight. Odie Cleghorn's Pittsburg Pirates, with one of the speediest for- ward lines in the N.H.L,, several of the players being former Toronto boys, is the team in question. The Pirates are not setting the league on fire with their ability to score goals, but they are creating considerable confusion among the teams they meet by their persistent back-checking. Despite their weakness in the matter of goals scored, the Pittsburg play- ers have not been outscored to any great extent. They have participat- ed in two or three goalless draws and most of their games have been small-scoring affairs, with the other team nosing them out by one or two goal margins, The Pittsburg players have always given a pleasing performance here. Perhaps because several of the play- ers are appearing in front of their relatives and friends here, they work a little hirder and make the Leafs hustle all the way. They were 2a thorn in the side of the Leafs last season, one of their most notable 'wictories against the Toronto team being scored at Arena Gardens after the locals had gathered an early lead. The Pirates scored a victory on their own ice against the group-lead- ing New York Americans on Thurs- day night, and this may arouse them to further efforts, The Leafs, who fare poorly on the road, also need a victory in order to keep out oi the cellar, so both teams should be try- ing their hardest, Recent rumors of changes in the Toronto squad have not yet been verified. Duncan's failure to appear at his best in the away-from-home games resulted in Art Smith starting with Day on the defense at Montreal Thursday. However, it is likely that Duncan and Day will be the regular defense pair tonight. Blair will pro- bably start at centre, with Carson a Financial Business Reviewed and Planned--Election of Officers for the Coming Season The Oshawa Shamrock Hockey Club held a meeting last night in the Y.M.CAA. The meeting was of an important nature and was well at- tended the club 'followers. As the first order of busindss, with President H.

Prospects are bright for the sca- son, it was brought out by a general discussion. The team has been prac- ticing since October, and made a cre- ditable showing in the S.P.A. series, winning one game and being elimin- ated by the strong West Toronto team. s In the regular O.H.A. series, the club plays its first game against Pet- erboro in the lift lock town on Fri- day, December 28, while the first home game will be in Burns' Arena, Whitby, at 8.30 on Friday, Jaguary 4, All the home games of the 'sea- son are Friday evenings.

Marlboros And U. of T. Win Toronto, December 22nd. -- Marlboros defeated Toronto Canoe Club by 6 to 2 in the first game of the O.H.A. junior double-header at the Arena last night, and in the sec- ond game University of Toronto over- came Parkdale Canoe Club by 4 to 2. While the score of the first game might indicate that the "Dukes" were easy winners, such was not the case. It took two periods of overtime to decide the issue, In the second game U. of T. outskated their opponents throughout to earn their victory. With but two minutes to play in the last period the Dukes had a 2--0 lead and seemed to have a victory cinched. But in the last two minutes T.C.C. unloosed a terrific offensive that pierced the Marlboro defense for practically the first time during the game, and in quick succession, al- most in two rushes, Foster and Rob- ertson scored to force the game into overtime, Foster's count came on an individual effort, while Robertson rushed in on the goal to bat in his rebound, Dukes Attack Strongly Throughout the game Marlboros issued effective attacks, and had it not been for the clever playing of Miller in the Red Ringers' goal the result would have been a one-sided victory for the Dukes. Miller's per- formance was spectacular, Time after time he rushed out of his goal to block Marlboros 'attacks after they had passed the defense. With "Red" Horner back in the game after his illness, the Dukes' defense was im- pregnable for most of the game, A- long with Pringle, Horner was an outstanding player. Harvey Jackson left winger, also. was back in the game ,and his aggressiveness on the attack was one of the features of the game. It was Jackson's scoring ability that gave Marlboros their 2--0 lead. He scored both goals in the first period, one on a pass from Conacher and the other on a brilliant lone rush. | opposition. ' Red Ringers kept up a persistent at- The second period was rather un- interesting, the Dukes playing de- fensive hockey and the T.C.C. thrusts being broken by stiff bumps of the In the third period the tack and were rewarded when Fos- ter put them into the scoring col- umn. They gave all they had after this and Robertson earned the tying goal. The first overtime period saw both teams on the attack, but the T.C.C. sextet was slowed by the heavier Dukes, and in the second overtime session were very tired. Pringle cir- cled the T.C.C. defense alone to earn the goal that broke the tie. Levinsky earned two of their other goals, one on Conacher's rebound and the other on a lone effort. Conacher scored the other tally when he drew aside the defense, and beat Milier with one of his fast shots. U. of T. Outskates Opponents In the second game, which U. of T. won from P.C.C. by 4 to 2, neither team showed any great checking ab- ility, with the result that both teams made many rushes. These seldom got very far, for both displayed a lack of team play. University of Toronto won their game by their su- perior skating ability. At all times their speed was far greater than that of the Canoe Club team. U. of T. earned the first count of { the game when Brant skirted the de- fense to score. Toronto Canoe Club was not long behind, and Oliver scored the equalizer on a pass from Corson. The first period ended in a 1--1 tie. Eearly in the second ses- sion Williams, a U. of T. defense man, put his team ahead when he rushed in alone to score. In the last period Bell scored the winners' other goals on lone efforts. P.C.C.s goal afternoon and evening. W. J. HOLLAND, Pres. Phone 372 was the last of the game. Adams skated in fast and sent a hard shot at Hunnisett in the students' goal. The goalkeeper did not clear the shot properly and in a mix-up that oc- curred on the play Botsford and Adams shoved the puek into the goal.

Only a small crowd attended. The game between West Toron- to and Danforth was featured by good individual plays and some fine shooting, principally by Lam- port and Evans, with Lamport scoring the first goal. The gan™ remained closely contested during the second period, with West Tor- onto attacking aggressively. In spite of this, however, Grant man- aged to score twice for Danforths, while Bignall tallied one for the winners. Lamport was leading the play and continued to do so. The third period saw West 'ror- onto score goals in rapid succession three goals being scored by Bignall, another two by Lamport, and Kres- sler added two more. Kressler made a very good lone play, taking the puck the full length of the rink and then scoring. One more goal made ft nine for West Toronto. West Toronto--Goal, Geddes; defense, Bignall and Hearn; centre, Ewens; wings, Lamport and Kress- ler; subs, Waddington. Danforth--Goal, McDonald; de- fense, Fleury and Moore; centre, Horne; wings, Grant and Binney; subs, Raney and Hastie, In the second game, which Young Rangers won from Oakville by 3 to 1, play was fast and excit- ing throughout. The teas were closely matched, and it was not un- til the second p:iriod that Oakville was able to break the goalless tie and earn a 1 o 0 lead when P:ar scored. The period ended with the score still 1 to 0. ing able to count. In the last period, the Toronto team was far superior. It unloos- ed a strong attack that swept past the Oakville defense and gave Good in the visitors' goal a great deal of worry. McDonald, who was a serious threat to Oakville through- out the game, tied the count. Short- ly after, Smillie put Rangers aheaa From then on Oakville was not often in scoring position.

Both teams played strong defen- sive hockey, and the respective goal- ers, Farreland Taugher, were given good protection in point of close scoring chances, though both men were equal to the call on a few likely situations. Both teams work- ed hard, and here were no outstand- ing stars. . Play was rather tame in the first | period, which saw no scoring. Far- [ rel made two good saves on likely= looking situations, once when Bryd- son was inside to pick his shot and again when Hughes back-handed the disc from close range. The close checking made scoring possibilities very scarce in this period, which was far from being a thrill producer. The second period was almost a repetition of the first chapter, though play did open up in spots and cause some excitement, The visitors were robbed by Farrell on one occa- sion when Roth was inside on a per- fect pass from Lederman, Though the third period failed to produce much in the way of brilliant hockey, the imposing of nine penal- ties in that section, with the advan- tage of the odd man alternating i created some interest and' excite- (ment.
