THE OSHAWA DAILY 'TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1931 UNIORS SECURE LEAD ON WEST TORONTO Oshawa Juniors Win 2 to 1 In Hard Fought Game With W. Toronto Junior Outfit Locals Secured Lead by Scoring While Three of Toronto Players Were Serving Penalties, and Only Brilliant Goalkeeping by Davis Kept Them From Scoring More Goals~--Teams Were Evenly Matched With Oshawa a Little Stronger Defensively--Peterson and Lortie Scor- ed Goals for Oshawa The Oshawa juniors rung up a slim one-goal lead with the West Toronto team, last year's junior O.H.A. champions, in the first game of the semi-final playoffs at the Oshawa Arena last night, the score being 2-1. The local team was cheered to victory by over 8,000 fans, this being the largest crowd that has attended any game locally this season. Penaltios--three of them in quick succession--spelled defeat for West Toronto, but it was Davis, and Davis only, in the West Toron- to nets, that saved the vieitin~ team from a more crushing defeat when those Same three mod wid off. Dempsey was sent to the nen alty bench first, about the middle of the third period, with the score tied ome all. Then McAlpine and Hearne, the two West Toronto de fencemen, followed in quick suc cession, leaving only two forwards between the swarming Oshawa players and Davis in the nets. They played heroically but the local boys rained shot after shot on the goal- ie, whose saves seemed positively uncanny, He was here, there and all over at once, and although two or three of his saves were nothing more or less than luck, he managea to keep them all out, but one. That one was scored by Lortie, who bor- ed In a terrific shot when he got the pass from Graboski on a face- off in front of the West Toronto net, and Davis could not stop it. Hurst, in the Oshawa nets, was nothing short of wonderful, and the one that got past him was a sure goal, Hearne having gotten well inside the defence when he shot it. Most of the West Toronto players pack bullet-like shots that are near- ly always right on the net, and even when they let the puck drive from outside the defence, it is travelling fast enough to worry almost any STARTS | SATURDAY A NEW type of story revealing the glorious red head in unsuspec- , ted emotional depths, i CLARA BOW In The Paramount Comedy Drama "NO LIMIT" -- with -- NORMAN.

Peterson and Graboski were un best on the local forward line, al- though every man on the team played a good game. Lortie was not as effective as he might have been, depending on long shots which were hopeless against a goal. io like Davis. Kerr, McKillop, and McClelland seemed a little tho best of the West Toronto team. Referee Mitchell kept -a close check on the game, calling offsldes consistently, and penaliz- ing twelve players for various of- fences. Seven of these penalties went to West Toronto. McAlpine, Dempsey, Maundrell and Lortie wore the bad boys of the evening, each drawing two trips to the cool- or. . No Score in First West Toronto got the face-off and Dempsey went down but: Drin- kle got possesson, skated up and bad the first shot on goal, Peter. son found the defence a little heavy for him on the next attack. Me- Killop broke away fast twice but couldn't pass Lortie, who secured the puck and made a dead-on shot that Davis saved. Hurst stopped oa fast one of Kressler's and Peter. son and Drinkle made Davis act quickly to prevent what looked like a score when Drinkle passed to Pe- terson inegide the defence, The Motor City forward line's combina- tion was working smoothly, Davis being called upon to do more work than Hurst, Lortle's fast one just slipped off Davis' pads to safety on the nearest approach to a goal thus far, drawing the crowd to its feet. Jerry Bradd drew the first pen- alty for boarding McKillop. Hearne nearly fooled Hurst on a corner shot when he went through with the benefit of the one-man advan- tage. Hurst had to step three feet out of the goal mouth to stop Me- Clelland scoring on a rebound. Jo Jo Grabosk! made two smart ef- forts that all but fooled Davis, Bradd had the crowd standing when he went through and shot from inside the defence, Davis sav- ing beautifully. McAlpine was penalized for butt-ending Doug. Maundrell. MeClelland made a beautiful lone effort that was all but successful, and again went down shooting from close in but Hurst saved by dropping flat. on the ice. The West Toronto 10m wards were becoming a liftle more wary of charging the local defence and were shooting from outside blue line. Dempsoy's shot eame within a fraction of an Inch of slipping by Hurst into the core ner of the net and the crowd groan- ed. McKillop was laid out when he hit the boards after checking Lortie, but was not seriously hurt. A wicked shot from McAlpine made Hurst hop, but Graboski and Petor- gon kept Davis busy also. The per- fod ended with no score. Seoond Period Lortie was penalized for slash- ing soon after the period opened. With Lortie off, Peterson got the first goal, carrying the puck down through the entire taam gnd shoot- ing from about eight feet in front of the net, giving Davis no chance. The puck was faced off in front of the West Toronto net when Davis fell on the puck to save another close shot by Peterson, Kerr drew the face-off however and saved the situation, MeClelland was penaliz- ed for slashing Graboskl, The lo- cals kept West Toronto pretty well bottled up with their one-man advantage but could not score al- though one of Grahoski's boring shots made Davis' hair stand on end. Jerry Bradd gave Davis an- other close shave when he checkea a West Toronto man and shot fast and unexpectedly, "Doug.

Lortie with nobody else between him and the goal. Drinkle's shot looked to be in but was not allow- ed, Peterson went in fast after he shot and batted his reboune at Davis, the puck bouncing off the goulie's shoulder for a lucky save. Graboski, in a pretty piece of stick. handling, took the rubber down and shot from the corner, but could not fool Davis, Doug. Maun- drell and Drinkle combined to wor- ry Davis, but Drinkle's shot, al- though dead on, was saved, The Oshawa defence was working very effectively and saving Hurst much trouble. Dempsey and Doug. Maundrell were penalized in close succession for tripping. Graboski lost a heart-breaking effort at a goal when his shot from close in bit the post, Hearne got tho equalizer a minute before the per: fod ended when squeezed through Hurst's The period ended 1-1, Third Period Lortie was penalized early in the third period for bodying Dempsey too rougldy, Maundrell cleared when Hearne shot after rushing. Maundrell went right through but held his shot a split second too long and it went across the goal mouth, Another one of Drinkle's shots bounced off Davis' shoulder and the goalle was" lucky again, Dempsey was penalized for hook- Ing Graboskl, Davis wus lucky again when Maundrell's shot hit his arm and dropped right in front of goal line, Loftle took it up and lost a chance to score by not pass ing to Authors, McAlgine was sont off for cross-checking Drine kle.

A week ago we asked the question, "Is a one goal lead enough for Oshawa juniors, On that occasion it was just enough, The same ques- tion is in the minds of all the fans today as they look forward to the game which is to be played in Toronto on Monday between Oshawa Juniors and the West Toronto team, It looks like a pretty slim lead against a team of the calibre of the Toronto outfit, but it was enough , against Kingston, and with an even share of the breaks, it may be enough again, » * LJ LJ Had To Play Hockey Make no mistake, the Oshawa boys had to work hard and play real hockey to win that game last night, than the Toronto boys, but other matched, Defensively, the locals were better wise the teams were very evenly The fans were a bit disappointed that more goals were not scored while the Toronto team was short-handed, but it is not always casy to take advantage of penalties, The boys got a little over-anxions, it is true, und shot at the Toronto goalie instead of drawing him ont ot the net before shooting. Just the same, that goalie had horseshoes all over him=and he was good, » . LJ] » The Fans Liked It The fans turned out in fine style for the game, and they were well satisfied with the exhibition of hockey they saw, It was a typical junior OLA, semi-final, with every player putting his whole heart and soul into the game, and when these teams meet in night, it should be another thriller, Toronto on Monday Probably quite a crowd of the Oshawa fans will be there, and it is to be hoped they willl because the boys will need all the support they can get in their effort to hold their slim lead, and qualify for the draw for the finals, . . * " The Teams Left It looks as it Niagara Falls will be one of the three teams left in the draw for the final, They won in Stratford last night, gets by two goals, and should hold the lead on their home market are in the same position as Oshawa, Mid New They secured a one-goul beating the ce. lead in their home game, and tonight play in Owen Sound to decide which will go on, . .

Oshawa Players May Figure in International Games for Lacrosse Championship Kd. Allen, sports editor of the Mall and Empire, has this to say on the International Lacrosse Championship serlos: Despite previous announcements that Brampton, Canadian Lacrosse champions would be selected to represent the Dominion in the ser- fos with the United States for in- ternational honors, A. E. Lyon, president of the C.A.L.A., has call- od a meeting for March 7 to pick a star team for the assignment. The second series of international championship matches has caused considerable controversy but the goneral opinion is that the KExcel- slors, who proved thelr worth last year, strengthened by a few stars from other elubs, would form the best representation for Canada, Canada's lacrosse supremacy is in serious danger, for last year it took the mightiest efforts of the Oshawa champions to beat an nll- wlar combination from the States. The Americans played here under Canadian rules in the last series but this year the games will be played across the border and under U.8.A, rules. Only the extras free- dom of heavy hitting, permitted under the Canadian code, prevent ed the Americans from winning last year, and with the ruggel style of play not allowed across the line conditions should faver the US.A. . 0 w Most lacrosse authorities sug- gost that Brampton be picked to represent Capada and that the champions have the privilege of picking any extra men from other teams to bolster their staf. Many of the Brampton players would have to bo picked on any all-star team, but to take any wen from the regular machine, might ruin the combination system thut was #0 prominent in the championship campaign last season, LJ v - To plek an sll-stay team from Canada would he a costly venture for it would moan bringing men from the Pacific Coast, who prov» ed superiority in the Maun Cup finale last year, Beside Lhe extra expense of gathering stars from all over the country, the pluycrs would bave to bo assembled weeks in advance to practice and 'adopt some kind of system. By pleking the Brampton team intact and « fow oxtra mon all that would be needed is conditioning and a few drills to polish up the plays that won the championship last yonr, . LJ . While the Westorn section of the C.A.LLA. may object to the Ontario toam representing Canada, it must be admitted that the O.A L.A. champlons won the Mann Cup last year and deserving of the same honors that Oshawa, winners of the previous campaign, were nc corded, Belocting Brampton Kx colsiors intact with the help of ex tra men like Chuck Davidson and Toots.
