PAGE EICHT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1930 LADIES SOFTBALL BANQUET --OSHAWA INTERS. WIN FIRST GAME Oshawa Team : Peterboro Game of Amateur Hockey Large Squad of Local Sen-| iors and Intermediates Are . ls vig Seen in Action in Exhibi- | played last night were as follows: tion Game at Oshawa | Black Played an Impress. | ive Game i There was a good crowd of In- | tggested fans at the Oshawa Arena last night to see the exhibition ganie between the Oshawa Inter- mediates and the Peterboro squad, which the locals won by a score of 4 to 2, the goals being scored | at the latter end of the game, | The game was just what it was meant to be, an excellent workout for both teams and a fine oppor- 'tunity for the two coachs to try different combinations, among 'their line-up. The Oshawa fans were favourably Jmpressed with the excellent talent produced on the first night and, judging from | last night's display Oshawa should have a real smart intermediate | team, besides a good Junior squad. Art Black Impresses Art Black played a great part | of the game, on the Oshawa for- | ward line, and turned in an im- pressive performance. He skated | fast, stick-handled well, and check- | ed cleverly, although of *course, like every other player om the ice. there was a noticeable lack of team-play or combination., It is far too early in the season to ex- pect very much along these lines but it was made quite evident last night, that the possibilities along these lines are exceedingly bright. Although, the team was advertised as the Intermediates, a number of last, year's Seniors, other than "Blackie" were in action also. Two Fine Goalers There is no lack of material for goal tenders in the major ser- jes in Oshawa this year. Both "yie." Burr and "Eddy" Leveque were in action last aight and it is just a question which boy will grab off the regular berth with the Seniors. They are a fine pair | of goal tenders d what's more, | they are a fine pair of sports When they were with the Junior team together, they used to have the same close fight for the posi- tion but they both always showed the best of sportsmanship and each player wishes the other, the best of success. It has been announced that Osh- | awa will have an Intermediate team and Senior "B" outfit as well 'as the Juniors this season and in view of this fact, it was very pleas- ing to note last night, that there is no longer a lack of defence players. "Kelly" DeGray of local "Jacrosee fame. Theo. Elliott, "Tom- my" Johnston, Denson, formerally of Bowmanville, "Red" Walton were a few of the boys who look- ed verr well back on the rear guard, When Gord, Cook and Dill Conlin, of last year's Seniors get out, 'there will be plenty of mater- jal from which to choose the de fences for each team, Plenty of Forwards There is also plenty of materigl available for the front line, There. were about ten players in. action {ast night, not to mention the several members of Senlar squad who have not yet begun to work out, because of rpsby activi- or some other reason.

The bout was Walker's sec- ond invasion of the heavyweight class, but his victory brought him no new laurels, He was booed as he left the rink, The knockout ap- parently failed to satisfy and the fans believed that Christner had taken "a dive." The Akron heavyweight went to the canvas before the fight was a half-minute old. The punch which | sent him down was a left hook to the jaw. He rose after a count of | four and Walker rushed him across | the ring. When they reached the | far side, Christner plunged through the ropes without taking a hard blow and he was counted out lying | among the press row occupants, The time of the knockout was 68 seconds. | | LaBarba Wins Close Decision New York, "Nov. 29.

General tactics may be grouped as follows: (1) There are three places to hit the bird where the opponent can do the least with it, namely, to the back of the court, close to the net, and straight down the line. (2) The adversary's wea! points are generally his backhand and over the right shoulder, also any individual weakness which may crop pout during play. (3) Keep the other player on the defensive by hitting as far away as possible: by hitting over the head; by making the player change the direction of movement. (4) Hit where it is not expected: concealing the direction of the shot; by feinting. (5) Keep the opponent from seeing the flight of the bird; by Speed, using the smash or a sud- den hard drive, during the year. His report cov- ered in detail the action of the branch officials in various matters and was well received. Marlboro Juniors Tie Niagara Falls Niagara Falls, Nov. 29.-----That the Toronto Marlboros, managed by Bill Christie and coached by his son, Jack, are going to be heard from before all the junior hockey bacon is passed around next Spring was exemplified here last night when the Dukes held Gene Fraser's formidable Falls collection to a 2 all draw. The game, which was the feature event of the Lions' ice car- nival, wag witnessed by 3,000 fans, and was a decidedly interesting spectacle till the last whistle, Though held to a deadlock, it must be said of the Power City boys that they had some little margin on the play. Their failure to come through with 8 win can be laid at the door of over-anxiety when in the superb work of Roberts, in the Dukes' cage. However, the Marl- boros gave a splendid exhibition and looked like top-notchers at every stage of the battle, NEW TURNIR GRADES 5 The Dominion Fruit Branch, as the result of the first year in opera- tion of the Turnip Grades under the Root Vegetables Act, have intro- bh ¢ |duced four new grades which will more adequately meet the require- ments of the trade, The new grades are determined by size ranging from 2 to 4 inches foi the grade Canada No-1 Small to not less than 4 inches in diameter for Canada No-1 Large.

The happiest feature of driving | the gathering was that long, bore- | some speeches were very conspicu- 1] {ous by their entire absence. Har- and good-fellowship, which has predominated throughout tne Oshawa Ladies' softball league dur- ing the past season was the fea- ture of last night's entertainment. The entire evening was a great success but several important fea- tures predominated. The Oshawa Ladies' softball league had an ex- ceptionally successful season this year, both in a financial and in & playing way. They made money and in addition they satisfied their supporters as they were able to give ample accomodation, Besides, the Chevs., winners of the local lea~ gue, made an exceptionally fine showing in the Ontario playoffs, President "Vi" Norris presented the trophy to the Chevs., Miss "Dot" Kennedy accepting on behalf of the team. This is the third year that the Chevs. have been in | existence and the third year that | they have annexed this trophy. The excellent showing of the other | teamg and their good sportsman- | ship was commented upon by the President. President 'Announces Retirement It was with much regret that the gathering heard the announcement made by the popular President of | the Ladies' league, Mrs, *"Vi' Nor- | ris. In Ler remarks, Mrs. Norris | stated that she had decided to cease being an active member of the As- sociation but would be willing to help in the future, Mrs, Norris has been connected with Ladies' softball ever since it was started in this city, years ago. For several years, she starred with the O.M.IL. team and then, after her marriage, she has been of untold service to the league, in different executive positions. She has certainly handl. ed her "job" exceedingly well and Ladies' softball in Oshawa will suf- fer a decided loss if Mrs, Norris does drop out of the league. It is to be hoped that she will find her way clear to remain in the Associa- tion, in an advisory capacity, at least. The supper, served by the ladies of the Presbyterian United Church, certainly found fovor with all pres- ent and after everyone had eaten [ tin satisfied, the presentation of the {trophy and other entertainment was held. "Bill" Harmer gave two enjoyable solos. "Viv" Elliott de~ lighted the audience with a reading which was not exactly compliment- ary to the men present. Hazel Mc- Donald gave a recitation, Doris Kennedy and "Ede" Elliott each sang two or thras snappy songs, which were loudly applauded. Bella Rlair gave a piano solo. Eileen McBride and Edith Neil gave a pleasing duet and everyone joined in the community singing. Mr. Drury, prominent member of the local branch of the Canadian Or- der of Chosen Friends, gave a short but interesting talk to the meeting, complimenting the players and give ing some excellent advices, in his few words. In all, it was a very successful evening and a fitting climax to one of the best seasons ever enjoyed by the Oshawa Ladies' Softball Asso- ciation.
