YALL Cie UanAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1944 Queens Come From Behind to Win 4t3 Preston, Feb, 5,--Staging a last period rally that netted them three goals, the Queen's hockey team nosed their way into a deadloc! with the Riversides for secon place in the group standing here last night when they handed the weakened Riversides a 4 to 3 trim- ming. The game was one of the queerest exhibitions witnessed here this season with good and indiffer- ent hockey being dished up while thera were a number of casualties, Play on the evening was about even with the visitors displaying a flashy combination attack while the Riversides hung on to their checks hard in the opening two periods and confined their offen- sive attacks to solo or two men at- tacks. At the close of the second frame, Talbot, following through on his own rebound, met forehead to fore- head with Quinn, the visiting goalie, the erash setting both down hard and inflicting gashes over their eyes, Coupled with the crack over the eyes, Quinn and Talbot botn ' received severe jolts and were out for the remainder of the game. Play in the opening period was fast without either team register. ing a counter, but in the second frame, Queen's opened the scoring while the Riversides took the lead three to one when they counted three tallies on pretty efforts, The visitors claimed a goal in the sec- ond period but the goal judge would not allow it, Lawler Gets Three In the third stanza the homesters did not play the same tenacious style of hockey while the visitors with Morris, a sub goalie, in the nets, added an extra spurt, Lawler ran wHd and covered himself with glory by not only netting the de- ciding counter, but all three goals in the period. Lawler was easily the outstand- ing player for the visitors, giving the pass to Smith for the first goal of the evening aud scoring all three goals in the last period, Quinn worked well in the nets until forec- ed to retire while Reist and Smith were good on the wings. Ashley on defence for Preston turned in a nice game and only his erratic shooting and the fine net-tending of Quinn and Morris prevented him from scoring. Arnott played well at centre, while Clark's work on the wing was steady and effective. Talbot showed great punch on the forward line and when he was fore- ed to retire following his crash with Quinn, the team appeared to lose their spirit, Queen's--Goal, Quinn and Mor- ris; defence, Rooney and Britton; centre, Lawler; wings, Reist and Smith; subs, Bellinger and Boland. Preston--Goal, Schmaltz; fence, Ashley and Skelly; centre, Arnott; wings, Clark and Talbot; subs, Bregman and Hoffman. Referee--Harry Watson, Toron- to. CANADA TO MEET U, 8. IN DAVIS CUP Paris, Feb, 5.--With representa- tives of the diplomatic missions of the 29 nations entered in the 1929 Davis Cup tennis competition pres- ent, the draw was held today, Canada ys. the United States was the first result of the draw- ing and these teams will dneet in the first round of the American zone Japan drew a bye in the first round and if the United States wins from Canada Japan will be the next opponent, The victor in this contest will oppose the win- ner of a match between Cuba and Mexico. It was ruled today that the sec- ond round should be concluded before May 8. This decision will represent a problem for tennis authorities in Canada and the United States. The first round be- tween Canada and its neighbor probably cannot be played in April in Canada. Italy, Germany, Czechoslovakia and Spain are the favorites in the European zone. PANTHERS OVERCOME BY WINDSOR SEXTET London, Ont., Feb. 5.--Windsor Bulldogs defeated London Pan- thers by 3--1 in a Canadian Pro- fessional Hockey League game played here last night. Frank Car- s2n scored two goals in the last period to give the Bulldogs the victory and a firmer hold on sec- ond position. Brown gave the visit- ors the lead in the first period, while Voss tied the count in the second session, only to have Car- son contribute two counters in the third. In the first period Prim- eau tallied and the official called the goal back. In the last stanza Primeau circled around the nets to poke the puck past Goaler Cox. The goal judge flashed the light but was overruled. It was in the second period that the Panthers played their best hoc- . key. The locals checked the Bull-) dogs to a standstill and offensively" the Panthers put forth their best effort in this session. The Bull- dogs finished strong to win the verdict. ae- |' { they were nearly all make The game last ight was attended by over two thousand people and rom the Motor City, a little noise when the locals scored those goals. Maybe you think they didn't The size of the Arena Gardens may have had the effect of making the crowd look smaller, but it could not diminish the sound, Jack Bond was teamed up with Crossett on the defence, and the "Big Stan" and his new found "running mate" worked well together, And not only was he good on the defence, but played a better offensive game than he has all season, Many people will say "But Shrimp McPherson was not playing," What if he had of been, that brand of hockey ties such as Shrimp up just like any- one else, s The wise acres down in the lobby changed their mind at the end of the second period and there was much hurrying and scurrying, Since Samm, cap, like a ship, Sam's a rudder, or to a steering wheel, Lowe took sick the team has been under a severe handi- come closer to home, like a car, Sam's Mr. Nichol, who was prominent in lacrosse and rugby circles, handled the team in a real way, the result could be seen in the improved style and system that was displayed, And that's not all the good news, The Shamrocks have been cleared of all blame in the matter of Art Black's age certificate and will be playing home and home games with Bowmanville, the first probably on Friday. An extract from the O.ILA, report reads: The protest of the Bowman- ville club against the Oshawa Shamrocks, claiming Neil Arthur Black as being over age for junior O.H.A, was sustained, and the player's certificate was cancelled, continue in the series, and in view The Oshawa club was found not at fault, and allowed to of the Peterboro club dropping out, 3owmanville and Oshawa were ordered to play a home-and-home series for group honors, the first game at Bowmanville Friday, Feb, 8, and the return game at Whitby, Monday, Feb, 11, _ The quiet, self-effacing Percy Williams will come before the public eye twice this week instead of only at the Millrose games at the Garden on Saturday, as had been first intended. The double Olympic winner will race at the ninth annual athletic carnival of the Newark A.C, in the Ne- wark Armory on Thursday night, under conditions set down by the Mill- rose authorities, it was announced today, The latter organization has first eall on Williams, since it brought him here from Vancouver, and is paying his expenses, The primary purpose of Williams' visit is the Millrose meet, and the Newark A.C, received per- mission for his appearance with the understanding that Percy would not participate in the sprint series at 50, 60 and 70 yards, He will run in only one sprint, a 50-yard handicap test, To have Williams engage in a sprint series would tax even that astounding young man's energy. But one sprint would serve to sharpen his competitive edge for the Garden meet two nights later, No limit has been set for the allotment of handicaps, With a full week of training on the boards at New York University and at the Millrose A.A, Williams should be in top form by Saturday. The tickets for Thursday's game go on sale to-morrow morning at Mike's Place at 9 o'clock, Persons holding season tickets have not a worry in the world as they will be good for the big game. he he oe Re oe 7 oe te 3 > < ode ge ole oe oe E3 oe " de ogo Ed 3 3 Es JIE at a i aN Ja aaa > 2. ( Loto: Ca The locals handed the surprised North Yonge lads an awful jolt last night. It just shows that when the boys play good consistent hoc- key they are bound to win or come close. ey oe oe oe < oe oe < 3 le Last night's struggle was one of the best games the lads have play- ed, no one being particularly self- ish, and all playing hockey. The penalties were few and the ones that came were slight and ac- cidental. Of course Willowdale's weren't, : Let's start on old Dick, for he was really the star of the game. In the first period he kept the locals in the money. That statement does not mean that goalie Harris wasn't busy in the initial period. Dick was beaten on close-in plays, where he had no chance whatsoever. Crossett was the main stay of the Oshawa team, if he had not smacked the North Yonge big and little threats down, the issue might have been a little different. Cros- sett led some very smart attacks, being one of the greatest threats. Bond played one of his best games last night, and although Jack did not bounce them, he was a great power on the attack, notch- ing the second goal. It was a long shot which, looked to be a floater, but must have had too much steam for the flashy Claude Harris. Joyce, Rowden and Chartran played steady hockey, the latter scoring on a nice rebound from Houck. Bill played hard and scor- ed the fourth goal of the might on a lone effort. Kip was watched too closely and although he played the headiest game on the ice, could not seem to penetrate the Yonge Street boys' citadel. Jumbo was in many times but his shot was a little off last night. Carl Houck furned in one of his best efforts of the season. Carl seems to have an awful hor- ror of scoring goals, but led some lovely attacks and was one of the fastest men on the ice. If Bond and Houck exchanged positions it might strengthen things up a bit, as Carl seems to be able to score when he has to start from the defence. -- Come One! Come All!

Goal Scoring Race Montreal, Que.,, Feb, 5, -- The sensational upward thrust of To- ronto Maple Leafs over the week= enl, which swept the into a con= tending position; the steady pros gress of the Canadiens, and the vie- tories of the champion Ranfers are all reflected in the scoring aver- ages ssud last night from the of- fices of Preident Frank Calder, Irvan 'Ace' Bailey, scoring right wing of the Maple Leafs, broke the tie for the leadership of the Cana- dian, section as a result of his week-end feats, while two of the Rangers' star forwards, Bill Cook and Frankie Boucher, are tied for first position in the American sec- tion, Bailey drew away from his closest rival, Nels Stewart, of the Maroons in decisive fashion, He has now scored 16 goals the same number as Stewart, and has had 8 assists against Stewart's five, for a total of 24 points, Andy Blair, rangy centre of the Leafs, is tied for third place with "Hooley"" Smith of Montreal, while close be- hind them comes Aurel Joliat, the mighty midget of Canadiens, Bill Cook has scored more goals than any player in the American section twelve in all, with six as- sists, while Boucher has had seven goals and eleven assists. Carson Cooper, of Detroit, nolds second position, while two Boston players, Harry Olver and 'Cooney' Wel- lard, are tied for third, The turbulent and hard-fighting games of the week-end are reflect~ ed in substantial aditions to the penalty lists, Lionel Conacher, robust captain of the New York Americans, increased the total of minutes he has spent on the pen- alty bench to 99, "Red" Dutton, of Montreal is ten minutes behind the elader and Art Smith of Toron- to Leafs is another ten minutes hack, Eddie Shore, the Bruin de- fence star, still leads the American division in penalties with 61 mn- utes, seventeen more than Aleck Mc- Kinnon of Black Hawks, ONTARIOS DEFEAT PETERBORO 6 TO 3 Port Hope, Feb, 5. -- In a fast and clean game here last night, the Port Hope Ontarios improved their standing in the Lake Shore inter- mediate O.H.A, group by defeat- ing Peterboro by 6 to 3.The battle was keen all the way and was played on good ice in the presence of the biggest crowd which has seen a-game here this season, the Petes bringing many supporters with them, : For the visitors, J. Lebarr in goal, and his brother, T. Lebarr, on defence, were about the best, though Kennelly, Leggett and Fol- ey did some good attacking. At times their back checking had the Port Hopers baffled, but they fad- ed bally in the third pgriod, For the Port Hopers Micks in goal was a stone wall and the defence or Rf Ware and Jex did well until the lat- ter was injured and had to retire. Bowen, K. Ware and Highfield turned in good games and Hager- man's rifle shot gave Goalie Lebarr much trouble. Roy Ware was also badly injured near the close of the game.

MILLIONAIRES WIN Stratford, Ont., Feb. 5.--In the most listless game of all the Can- pro offerings here this season the Millionaires defeated the Hamilton Tigers by a score of 3 to 1 last night. Individual plays featured the contest. If there was any sem- blance of combination the losers displayed it, anl in the final spasm when the best hockey of the game was in evidence, the Yellow and Black were particularly active in an endeavor to tie the count. A smaller crowd than usual wit- nessed the contest. The Hamel brothers and Baker appeared to be the pick of the Tigers, D. Hamel being particularly aggressive. Herb, Hamel, the former National sub, played his position well. For the Millionaires Frew, Cameron, Clark and Doraty were the peck, al- more effective and he watched his check more closely and skated back after making an attack. Both goalkeepers had an active evening. The teams: Millionaires -- Goal, Fisher; de- fence, Frew and Camrone; centre, Gray; wings, Cark and Doraty; ning, Williams and Young.

W, Ni- chol, who just recently took over the management, Sammy Lowe be- ing ill, the locals showed the re- sults of clever handling combined with hockey brains and reasoning that produced a clean, open, fast game of hockey. Both teams playing a cautious game in the initial period, failed to score, the second saw Oshawa up on; top of a 2 to 1 score and the end brought them victorious 4 to 3, Dick Smith in goal turned in one of those thrilling, chilling games, saving shots that had already brought groans from the local sup- porters. The big change in the line- up, Bond and Crossett teamed to- gether on the defence, was one that met with entire approval and which proved to be O.K. And Bond did not let the knock of opportunity go un- answered, He was all that could be asked for in his new position of as- sistant to "Big Shot" Crossett and added to that his love of the offen- H. W, NICOLL ting two penalties, was ever in the path of Willowdale rushes and broke up many before they had started. He also scored Underwood, Collins and Harris were the best of the Orange and Black with Skirrow also stick- ing out, Johnny McPherson was there but was showing the effects of not having his brother to feed him plays. Smith Stars From the first the quality of the game to come was clearly discern- able, Oshawa forced the play, rushes by Bond and Crossett piercing the Willowdale defence. A nice effort by Nugent was spoiled when Smith sav. ed by diving, Chartrand came in for a share of the shooting, but Har- ris handled them. Smith and Farris have plenty to do and do it well, Willowdale showed a slight superio- rity during this stage, going in faster on rebounds. Houck for Oshawa and Underwood and Nugent all speed through the opposing defences but were stopped by Harris and Smith. Crossett missed a chance to score when Nugent bodied him just as he was set to take a pass in front of the Willowdale net, Another golden opportunity faded when Chartrand missed the goal by inches after tak- ing a nice pass from Houck, on the rebound of the same play Rowden sive, scoring a goal, assisting in a passed out to Chartrand, but Harris second and starting numerous rush- es that were dangerous to the Wil- lowdale goal.

Bond and Morse For six and one half minutes play was fast and even, the puck travell- ing from end to end without a still moment, Catching a hard shot Har- ris threw the puck hurriedly and it landed in the seats above the right hand corner of the rink, McPherson scored the first counter of the game on a hard drive from right wing, Rowden on beautiful rush circled the defence and passed right in front of the net but the pass went unaccept- ed, Smith saved twice by real head- work when Nugent and McPherson split the defence and tried to draw him out. Jack Bond shooting hard and straight and following in came close time and again, Body checking in- creased with Crossett upsetting Un- derwood and Rowden knocking over two Willowdale forwards. Crossett rushed fast up right boards but was out-bucked by Harris. Chartrand also luckless. Joyce drew a penalty for charging and Willowdale kept the short handed locals bottled up until Crossett grabbed it out of a meelee and sailed up fast. Shot, got the rebound and circled the net to pass a pretty one to Morse directly in front of Willowdale goal. Morse didn't fool, taking lots of time and careful aim, scored the tieing coun- ter. Jack Bond put the locals in front four minutes later with a bul- let-like shot from centre ice, Harris got his hand on it but the puck did not stop and the red light flashed at the Willowdale end for the second time. Period ended: Oshawa 2; Willowdale 1. Keep Ahead .
