#4 ot 3) #1 Lh et PAGE EIGHT A A errr: THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, ' All That Is New and Modern In Arena Construction (The Opening of Oshawa's Arena as seen by THE GLOBE) Oshawa, Jan. 9.--Oshawa's new . $130,000 artifjcial ice arena with a. seating capacity of 3,750 per- sons and the second largest ice surface in the Province, was offi- ' cially opened tonight. The feature of the evening was an exhibition . game between the National Yacht Club seniors of Toronto and the Oshawa O.H.A. intermediates, Al- though the visitors were success- ful in defeating the local outfit 6-3, the thousands of fans who had gathered in the arena were con- vinced that the locals have good material and that with practice they will go far in the O.H.A, race. The new rink, which incorpor- ates all that is new and modern in arena construction, fulfils a long-felt need in this city. Since the burning of the old rink in June of 1928, the city has been without facilities for hockey, and last season all games had to be played in Whitby or Bowmanville. Now, however, Oshawa may boast an artificial ice arena which would be a credit to a city many times its size. The interest which t\» local public is showing in the ac- quisition of this fine, well-equipp- ed structure is shown in the fact that almost every available seat was taken last night. The arena has been made pos- sible through the enterprise of Messrs. William, Albert, Ernest and Harold Hambly and Paul Clark, the owners, together with the generous assistance and co- operation of R. S. McLaughlin, na- tionally known industrialist and sportsman. It is of brick and ce- ment construction, with a special type of '"Lamella" roof, making a complete and handsome arch, with no pillars or posts to obstruct the spectators' view. Splendid gccom- modation is afforded for the pub- lie, the players and also for skat- ers. : A number of prominent citizens attended the opening last night, fi- cluding R. S. McLaughlin and Ma- yor T. B. Mitchell, dso Sheriff J. ¥. Paxton of Whitby, Treasurer of the O.H.A, and W. A. Hewitt, of Toronto, Secretary of the O.H.Q. The puck was faced off for the exhibition game by R. S. McLaugh- lin, while Harry C. Lecky of Osh- awa and Lou Marsh, Toronto, act: ed as referees. Although the locals played bril- liantly at times, they showed lack of practice and were unable to stem the onrush of the swift trav- elling Nationals, The visitors were smoother in their play and showed that they had developed a particu- larly effectives combination, Burry, who holds down the left defense, opened the scoring when he bored through the local defense and drilled a hard shot at the nets from close-in. Leveque, the local goalkeeper, had little chance to save. The visitors notched their second for the period, when Col- lins took a pass from Convey on {left wing, and found a hole in the locals net, with a hard shot. "Doc" Rowden, 'a last-year junior who is playing right defense, gave the best exhibition for Oshawa during this frame, \ After Lough had gone in on left wing to gain the third. counter for the visitors, Jack Bond, lo\l centre man, put the locals in the scoring column in the second per- fod when he stick-handled his way through the entire visiting team and drove the puck in the net with a tricky shot, Collins an} Con- vey, again worked some nea com- bination, Collins scoring. Kane added a fifth goal for the visitors, when he counted on a hard shot from right wing. The Oshawa forward line gave a good account of itself in the fi- nal period and within a few min- 'utes Houck and Rowden combined to go through the heavy Toronto defenses, Rowden beating the fam- ous "'Stuffy'> Mueller with a shot from close in.- Jackson scored Osh- awa's third on a lone effort at left wing. Collins concluded the scor- ing for the visitors when he circled about Oshawa defense and batted the puck into the net in a scram- ble at the goal mouth, Sea Fleas-----Goal, Holmshaw; defense, Foster and Nugent; cen- tre, Convey; wings, Kane and Beale; subs, McKay, Lough, Col- lins, Barnett, Underwood, Burry, Palmer, Garvie and Mueller, Oshawa---Goal, Leveque; de- fense, Coulter and.

Ask the man on the street and he will tell you "Sam." He means R. 8, McLaughlin, the motor magnate, whose only drawback (seems to be that he was born about five years too early to be a nailve of the Motor City. Ask the busi men and they will tell you "Sam and the Hambly boys." The Hambly boys are Bill, Ernie and Albert, who own a bottling works and an ice making plant. Ask Sam himself and he will tell you that George W. Hezzelwood is the responsible party -- that' Hezzel- wood pestered him until in self de- fence he had to jump in and lead off in the financing of the enterprise. Tt doesn't really make any dif- ference particularly who built the arena -- those responsible are a mod- est lot ~-- but the fact is that Osh- awa now has the best artificial arena in Ontario outside of Toronto and is once more ready to take her proper place on the hockey map. Sheriff Paxton, the veteran O.H.A. | treasurer, declares that the arena {opened last night is the finest arena in Ontario--and he does not even bar Toronto.
