THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1931 eterboro St. John's Put p Hard Fight, But Oshawa Juniors Hard-fought Game, With Plenty of Bumps, Found 1Oshawa Boys on Top by a Score of 5 to 0 in First = Game of Home-and-home IN Series in O.H.A. Playoffs iy The Oshawa Juniors who last ht paid a visit to Peterborough arned home with a nice load ~ tutked under their belts by virtue "of their 5 to 0 victory over the St. John's team. It is expected that return game will be played on ursday night here pnd the fans i are assured of a fast game backed | with the best brand of hockey. The Juniors when they left the city tor 'the game were not saying much about their chances of winning the Bi eo away from home but had pes of keeping the score down to reasonable figures, Their oppon- ents, the St. John's aggregation, were heralded as a fast close check. ing team with a hard hitting de © fense, and they lived up to that re: ipdtation and would have dene a jot better under better conditions. "To say the least conditions were ot conductive of good hockey witn the ice becoming soft and at the close of each perfod was covered t with slush and water. It was a "task to carry the puck at any time and as a result the game was slow. ted up and much sloppy play crept in, In fact the nine ponalties that were handed out by Referee Bert Hedges could all be attributed to the condition of the ice. Tho pen: alties however had nothing to do with the score as neither team was able to take advantage of a short. . age on the other team to score. St, [John's drew five of the rests while Oshawa drew four. The majority - of the enforced rests came in the ~ third period. Oshawa can thank a series of gircumstances for their win, Two of the goals scored were lucky, (F nothing else can be sald of them, [Then Hurst was having a good I night and striving for another shut- out and turned In a wonderful i me. However he was alded by i the ice conditions which sent the 'puck rolling away from the stick _ of a Peterborough forward on seve . 'eral occasions when he was in a po- fon 'to shoot. St. John's did not y fot any of the so-called breaks but ; the next game they may go all "the other way. Other potent factors in the vie- . tory was the heavy yet clean body- | ghecking of the Maundrell-Lortle defense who stopped rush after . rush and seemed to take a delight in the heavy going. And In addi- tion to that the forwards worked like a well ofled machine rushing well and back checking fh . John's from breaking away on "many occasions. One thiug . ' the juniors that the crowd should + like and that fs that they are in the game from the drop of the puck and never give up trying for goals . until the final bell rings, . Of the five goals scored Dradd and Petorson each scored two, with . the odd goal going to Lortle. In the first period Peterson opened the (scoring with two minutes and a halt played. Bradd followed with another a minute later. In the second stanza Bradd secured his second while Lortle got the fourth near the end of the period. The fifth and final goal of the game wag scored by Peterson near the end of the final period. This goal was the tiest of the night and possibly the most well earned, Jt woud be hard to plek out the star of the Oshawa team ng each and every man played a fine game, while for the Peterborough team "Oalladine at centre was fast and frleky with the defense pair of » Howe and Ellis good in their part)- cular department. § ist Period . Bradd secured from the face-off ~ and rushed to get In a hard shot from well out. Lortle came right k and had a shot but it also was m long rauge. Tho first real ent St. John's made was on a rush by Calladine.

On the next play after the face-off Gardner miss. ed the open net with Hurst away out of position. The Oshawa sub- stitutes came into the play and Pe- terborough began to get a little the better of the play and combined better, but always found the Osh. awa defense hard to pass, Grabos' ki proved a thorn in the side ot the home team and broke nearly every rush they attempted and should have had a goal or so for himself, Peterson was penalized but return®™ ad before any harm was done, Cal- ladine got around the defense but the puck jumped over his stick just us he was about to shoot, It was & tough break. Graboski went from end to end with the puck but was hooked from behind by Wilthaw as he shot and the puck landed in the corner, . The soft {ce marred the play and the Petes could not get their pass: fng game to work and were playing a one-man rushing game, 'I'he hard body checking of Maundrell and Lortie was not overly popular with the crowd but it slowed Peter borough up a lot, 2nd Period The period had just started when Merritt was sent off for dumping Doig. Maundrell. However Doug. did not stay long behind him ae he {also was chased to even the teams up. Calladine skated fast but could not ream to get in close and his shots from outside the defense were off the net, With Maundrell back on Oshawa again began to press the play, Bradd shot high the puck hitting the back of the rink nt loast ten feet above Miller's head and dropped down and in gome manner the goalle dragged it into the net for Oshawa's third goal, Only eight minutes of the per. fod had been played, Lortle and Calladine had chances for thelr re spective teams but could not score due to the alertness of Miller and Hurst, Hurst just got his foot on one in particular that was labelled sure goal and kicked the puck away Just in time. With the clock standing at fifteen minutes Lortle rushed down the left side and after working around the defense let one ko from the side that Miller never had a chance on, It was a real earned goal. The fce was in terri. ble condition and the puck rolled all over the place and golf swings wore quite the fashion in the cen- tre lce area. Sed Period The third period was rougher than either of the preceding ones und play wag very ragged through- out the period with the slush flying whenever a player slid on his skates in attempting to stop, Drinkle and Peterson each had shots in the first half minute but neither connected Gardner wag robbed of a goal by a fust play by Hurst who drove out to mother the shot just in time, Lore le gave Drinke a pass but the Pe lerhorough defense was solid. Doug, Maundrell und Calladine came off together for passing out a few bumps that Referee Hedges did not think were legal. Gardner went off a moment later to be followed by Peterson so that the teams were playing evenly four men a side, Pe terborough should have had a goal while the teams were playing short us one of thelr forwards was rigin in but missed the puck at the cru- cial moment, In the goal mouth. With the teams back at strength Peterson took possession fn his own defense urea and skated up the side spitting the defense wide open ta walk in on Miller, who was given no chance to save. It was the nicest effort of the game, CHIf Maundrel) who was playing with the relief fore ward line got in soma nice play in this perjod and had four shots on Miller from the side in quick suc couslon, Graboskl was glven a pasy hy Peterson but was too far In and lost the clmnce when he had only Miller to beut. Hurst in his end of the rink was hard pressed by Gardner who with Calladine way the most effective players for St. John's, Gardner and Peterson went off together for a minor argu- ment and play was still in the home town's end of the rink with a few sullies down to the Oshawa defengw, Both teams were almost out on thelr feet at the bell and stugger- ing. Oshawa had the better of the play during the evening ahd got the hop an their opopnents from the first. St. John's did not seem to be able to get a combined play started and resorted to individual rushes for the most part, while on other occasions passes went astray, Oshawa played a close checking game throughout and outweighed their opponent¥, man for man, and used their weight to advantage. While there was some dissalisface tion among the Peterborotigh fans over the play Referee Hedges was fair at all times and kept the play well in hand, The line-ups: 4 Peterborough #t.

NEW PLAN NEARLY READY A new municipal plan for the city of Oshawa is now nearing cotple- tion, according to a letter received by the city council from the firn of Donovan and Smith, Only a few legal matters require to be straight- ened out, one of them being the sign. ing of the necessary papers to pros | | vide a width of 80 feet on Simcoe | Street, APPRECIATED SERVICE | Warm appreciation of the assist- ance given by the Oshawa Fire De. partment at a seriows fire in Port Perry a few weeks ago was expressed in a letter received from the clerk ul the village and read at the city council meeting lust night, gh QPORT SAPSHOTS) Small Town Stuff Peterborough, a city of thirty thousand, certainly put itself in the smallest of small town categories last night. 'I'he two thousaud or more fans evidently were migthily displeased with the work of Roe feree Bert Hedges and very vociferously made this fact known. How- ever, the most disgusting thing of the whole evening came when Hedges attempted to leave the Arena after the game, There were close to two hundred "Yellow Backed" fans waiting to mob him, Fortunately a couple of Oshawa fans huddled around him and hustled him into one of the Oshawa players' cars and whisked him away from under the very noses of the indignant "Yellow Backs," As Hedges aiterwards said, there wouldn't be one in the whole pack who would step out and exchange punches with a referce, without the backing of the others, Such performances should not be tolerated by the O.J1A. W Ww L] LJ A Thumping, Bumping Game Last night's game was a true exhibition of the old-fashioned pick 'eit up knock 'em down affairs with none of the accompanying frills left oft. From the drop of the puck, the teams started out to hand vut sotie mighty stiff body-checks, That's where the fun commenced, far this scason this St. John's outht have had it pretty much their own way in regard to bodying, but last night they came up against a team that could just hand out and take a little more of the said bodying than any other club that they have encountered. This sure galled both players and fans and that was the real nucleus of the fomentations, Well, hostilities will' be resumed on Thursday night at eight thirty, at Hambly's lee Palace, so we advise you to get going and get your pastes boards carly, « . wo LJ - "Stonewall" Hurst Saves His Reputation By performing various back-flips, barrell-rolls, tail-spins and "AB- DOMEN WHOPPERS,"" "Stonewall" Hurst saved his reputation as be- ing one of the toughest goalies to Leat in the OFLA. In an exclusive interview granted the Times after the notable victory, in which he played no little part, "Stonewall" laid full credit for his smart pertorn ance to the fact that he carried the left hind foot of a Jack Rabbit tuck ed under his hat during the entire game, . LJ * LJ] Defense Was Good Oshawa's husky defense was outstanding in their play last night. The handed out bump for bump, and never welched at carrying the disc into encmy territory. 'I'he gave Hurst lovely protection all night and were in no small way responsible for the win, Even though the first three goaly that Oshawa scored were of the gift variety, too much cannot be said of the great work that the forwards did in carrying the game to the Petes, They made Peterborough play their style of hockey and made them like it. Last night's game will do a heap for Junior Hockey in Oshawa and no doubt there will be another record crowd next Thursday, Oshawa sure has the Junior fever. A * - A Tough Break For the Pats. It a tough break for the Pats. when the Stratford Nationals failed ta show up for last night's game here, Just when the local pros. were all set to redeem themselves in the eyes om the fans, along cones Way * this mess, and it is known that hockey fans can ecusily be soured on a league by a stunt of this kind, The Pats, however, were absolutely blameless, and deserve the support of the rans when Galt play here tomorrow night. Last night's affair gave them the two points but they dropped a lot of money, and it is fust a question as to whether the fine which will be imposed on Stratford will enable them to break ven, " LJ What the President Has to Say Seeing that Mike Rodden, who was here last night to referee, is also the president of the League and the sports editor of the Globe, it iy interesting to notice what he has to say awout it, Here it is, from the Globe this morning : LJ - "One of the most unsportsmanlike auctions imaginable was that of Stratford's Ontario League Hockey team, who failed to appear at Osh awa for last night's scheduled game. No word of Stratford's intention to default had been received, and in the neighborhood of a thousand fans were in attendance, awaiting their arrival, Upon failure of the Stratford players to arrive, the Oshawa team skated down the scored one goal, and were awarded the game by default by the referce The matter, however, will not there, : President and Seerctary will meet today to discuss the matter, and will probably call a meeting of the league for next Thursday. are that Stratford will be either thrown out of the league of heavily fined, If the latter course of action is decided upon; and the fine is not immediately paid, Stratford will at once be dropped from the league. "Stratford's action was a blow to the Oshawa entry, who had jist begun to make favorable headway, The Ontario League was formed for the benefit of unattuced hockey players--surely a sportsmanlike pesture--yet Stratford last night violated all the ethics of sportsmanship, It is recalled 'that when the league was organized Stratford was given preference over other applicants. 'They certainly chose a strange way to repay the favor. "Speaking over the long-distance telephone from Guelph last night, Robert Dawson, League Secretary, stated that he had heard vague rumors that Stratford might default, but had not been able to establish communication with the club officials. "Stratford's action 1s all the more explainable inh view of the fact that they are in third position in the league standing, close to the lead cry, and in a good position to enter the play-offs. ice, be allowed to rest The league Indications LJ » Ld Here's Another Here is another hot paragraph on the pro. hockey league situation, culled from the sport page of the Guelph Mercury "It would not be surprising to sec the Oshawa Pats, transfer a couple of their home games to Woodstock, 'I'lie Motor City fans are not exact- ly fighting to get into the rink for the home games down there and up in Woodstock, one of the best hockey centres in Ontario, the fans have no hockey to watch, owing to the elimination of their intermediate und juniors, The moving of the Oshawa franchise to Woodstock might be a good one if the team's name were changed from Pate, (It was the Hamilton Pats, who put Woodstock out in the cold in the OLA. inter- mediate race)" : : w » * » » Markham Must Like Us The Markham hockey team must like Oshawa rink and the Oshawa fans, The home game for Markham with the R-M.C. has been moved to Oshawa, and will be played here on Friday night, and it should be a wow of a game, dhe Markham boys deserve strong support for their action in bringing their game here, and it would Le nice if the local fans turned out to give them some encouragement.

Oshawa City Club Events The Oshawa City Football club is arranging u series of social events for its members and friends, This evening the Ladies' Auxiliary will hold a social function in the Oshawa Club Rooms over the Bank of Commerce, and on Thursday night the club will hold a dance in the Rotary Hall.

The Oshawa Paty were all set to act as hosts to the Stratford Nationale, but the visitors failed to appear, and there was no game, To munke matters worse, it wag 8.30 p.m. when the news of the default was pent to Oshawa, and the Oshawa players, accompanied by Mike Rod- den, the referee, were 'on ths ico voady to play.

Thus two valuable points wer» ge- cured, but at what a cost, The fang wore there ready to contribute ther ghekels to the eluh treasury, but there were no gate receipts, and it was a sore crowd that sauntered out of the arcna after the formaliti- oe had bean completed.
