Montreal Royals are going to have a crack Junior team this year and they have ac- quired three classy Regina Juniors, Albert Tilson, Cyril Beigler and Ken Smith.

K, BLUE AND ALL SHADES OF BROWN v (RP rT A Then of course there is Bobby For- ster working in Oshawa again and so is John Ross Roach. ' * +P General Motors will "take over" the Oshawa senior baseball club next summer. That's the "official" news, according to Bunny Morgan- son's column yesterday. It's no sec- ret here in Oshawa that while the players ran themselves this summer, ey did receive 100 percent co-op- eration from the executive officers of GM and from the company. For that matter, without the "behind- the-scenes" boosts from the sports- men who sit at the executive desks at GM, neither baseball or hockey would be able to reach such high calibre as they do here in Oshawa. In fact, these same GM. sports- men are always ready to lend a helping hand both financially and in smoothing the paths for athletes who have to "get off work" in order to play. It's no easy task to oper- ate a large industrial firm in the stress of war-time production and have workmen, who are athletes, get away from time to time. Osha- wa Pepsi-Colas, and other local softball teams along with the base- ball players and other local ath- letes, all owe a grateful "Thanks" for the assistance they receive. * +» Since it is no secret that addi- tional player streggth is needed to round out a contéfiding senior ball team next year, the return of GM to senior ball would be a real asset to the game in Oshawa and to the Inter-Oity League. Incidentally, it will also likely mean the sponsoring of a Junior ball team--a training ground which must be kept active it Senior baseball is to live in any city. Of course, the entire proposed program of sport for 1941 is subject to change or oblivion, depending on the war situation at that time. * br * Oshawa hockey fans will watch with interest the progress of the "Generals" in their various pre training camps. 'Jud' McAtee made a promise some months ago, to play in St. Catharines this fall but when Oshawa started to talk senior hoc- key, he wanted to stay here. "Jud's" problem is now ironéf out appar- ently for we unde: md he has signed a pro contract with the De- troit Red Wings. A real pro pros- pect, "Jud" should go far in his favorite sport. * + + Several of the Generals are with the Leafs at St. Kitts and along with Lex Chisholm and Billy Tay- lor, they form quite an Oshawa con- tingent. Perhaps the Leafs' man- agement have started to realize that the Oshawa talent is worth having. Not only have they won champion- ships in recent years but they have also given Maple Leaf Gardens the biggest group of patrons outside of Toronto. * + 9 Guelph will be back in the Junior "A" puck ranks this winter. They have Neath, their goalie, Harry Dick, defenseman, Holota, their classy centre and Jack Wheeler, of last year's team. Their list of new. comers includes Paul Allen of Nia- gara Falls, Clare Martin, Waterloo, Lloyd Doran, South Porcupine, Tony Lecari, Perth, Joe Levandowski, Kirkland Lake and Bord Wheeler, Collingwood. They also have home- brew talent "on tap." Guelp, Marlboros and Oshawa are certain entries in the Junior puck race. Varsity and Young Rangers are other possible entires. Native Sons are through, rumour has it. * + "Students of the local Col- legiate, especially the O.C.V.L grid players and local football fans as well, may be interested in reading what the Peterboro sports scribe has to say about the games there Saturday. Here it is: * +» "Peterborough Collegiate's young senior team, with only three or four of last year's club still in the lineup gave a convincing display of good football Saturday afternoon to defeat the Oshawa Collegiate seniors 15 to 0 in the first local in- terscholastic senior game of the season. Outweighed by the visitors, Coach Bamforth's squad ran off their plays smartly, made few er- -| rors and cashed in on the mistakes of their opponents to win a clean- out victory. The team lacks weight gbhut has plenty of fighting spirit and will depend upon speed and deception to carry them through. Russ Scriver promises to be a tower of strength this season. His kicking both with and against the wind Saturday stood out, the stocky half- back getting away several 60-yard- érs that helped to keep Oshawa at bay. He and Hamilton and Ackford carried the ball well and caught faultlessly." : * 4» "Saturday's score might have been closer if Oshawa had had bet- ter luck with their passing, Doug. Waugh, former Queen's player, had AE Mra re ais Blasting Vancouver Burrards in three straight games, St. Catharines Athletics re- gained the coveted Mann cup--symbol of the highest honor in Canadian lacrosse circles. Dropping the first game of the series, the Athletics came right back and took the Van- -------- furnished them with a repertoire of plays, most of them winding up with a forward pass out of a move- ment that started like something else, and two or three of these came close to clicking when they were within striking distance of the P.C.I. line, However, the home- sters' pass interception was work- ing well and when it wasn't the Oshawa receivers helped out by dropping perfect tosses. One of these heaves was muffed on the goal line with the potential receiver in the clear. In addition to this tendency to gum up plays Oshawa were handicapped by the fact that Daniels was outkicked all through the engagement by Scriver and that proved a disadvantage that the visitors found it impossible to offset, either around or through the line or by the forward pass route." LE J "P.C.I. juniors, showing greatly improved form, lost a tough one in the morning fixture. All their good work: was however offset by one perfectly executed scoring play that gave Oshawa juniors five points and the ball game just at a time when it looked as if PCI's 2-0 lead, set up in the first perind, was going to carry them through to victory. Up to the time Oshawa came through with a long Ander- son-to-Cameron forward pass on which the receiver galloped over for a major score the Peterborough youngsters had made a good job of holding them in check. That one play upset the whole works. At that P.CI. came back with a gallant ef- fort in the last five minutes and elmost pulled the game out of the fire. They battled until they had an opportunity to tie up the score with a field goal and Crowe's drop- kick attempt was so clos that many of the spectators thought that it had been successful. The fight shown by the youngseors in- dicates that there is plenty 0f mat- erial at P.CI. for winning senior teams in the years ahead." HENRY ARMSTRONG HAS HIS EYES FIXED New York, Oct. 16.--Henry Arm- strong, who recently lost his wel- terweight title to Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh, underwent an operation yesterday for the removal of scar tissue and an inch of skin over his left eye. Ten stitches were required to close the wound. Dr. Alexander Schiff, who per- formed the operation, sald Arm- strong stood it well and that a sim- ilar operation would be done over the little negro's other eye soon. He said Armstrong would not be ready to fight again before the firs¢ of the year. Armstrong virtually was blinded in the latter stages of his bout with Zivic.

Frank Boucher Will Handle Rangers Alone Winnipeg, Oct. 16.--Lester Pat- rick, veteran manager-coach of New York Rangers in the National Hockey League, announced here last night he was turning the Ran- gers' coaching duties to. Frank Boucher, assistant coach: of the team and former ace centre man.
