Basketball Team Plays Here Friday PORT SNAPSHOT 29 Hamilton Dofascos are back on top of the Senior O.H.A. scramble, but their margin is only slight, The Oshawa GM- Men this morning, are tied for third place, with Niagara Falls. LIER EE Hamilton edged out St. Cathar- ines last night 4-3 in a spirited game which produced plenty of lively ac- tion, a few penalties and several very classy goals. That 2-point win put the Dofascos out on top, despite Marlboros' victory up in London. LR London Streamliners played a close-to-the-vest brand of hockey to keep the Marlies in check for the three periods and did the job so well that although they themselves couldn't find any extra time to do any goal-scaring, Marlboros were equally futile in their efforts. How- ever, in the overtime session, the Dukes got an early one and went on to score a total of four goals in the 10-minute overtime period, to win 4-0. That win puts Marlboros in sec- ond, alone. LER Tonight the GM-Men hit the Yonge street highway to hie themselves to Barrie, where they'll tangle with the Camp Borden Senior "B" team. The "Soldiers" have a lot of classy matesial, including Cassells and others well-known to Oshawa hockey fans. The proceeds of tonight's game in Barrie will provide sports equipment for the boys at Camp Borden.

LE Exhibtion games as a rule are not overly popular but here in Oshawa, the "Generals" have a following all their own, red-hot hockey fans, who wouldn't miss seeing the Generals in actiagn for all the tea in China. So, ta means there'll be a nice crowd oh hand tonight. LS When the Oshawa Curlers open their 1940-41 season, this evening over at their Bond street ice palace, Art Lambert, Oshawa's oldest active curler, will have the honor of throwing the first stone. Pres.

Cagers Open Season Here Friday The 1941 edition of the Oshawa Collegiate's Senior basketball team will be previewed tomorrow at 4 when Runnymede Collegiate plays an exhibition game at the local gymnasium. v This: season the O.C.V.L. is floor- ing entries in both junior and sen- for sections of the C.O.SS.A. league, 1934 being the last time a junior team was entered from Osh- awa. However, since senior basket- ball was proven successful by Mr. Waugh last year, it was considered both feasible and advisable to floor a junior squad to be used as a train- ing for budding players. Captain McLaughlin, Daniels and Krantz, members of last year's team will be sparking the team with the able backing of Chute, a Toronto product, Buchanan, Scott, Trew, and O'Brien. They have all been practis- ing since the rugby season over a month ago and are eager for the start of the season in January, feel- ing confident. of really going places | this year. To see this game should be wel | worth the trouble of climbing the hill, with one of the best Toronto school teams visiting an experienced Oshawa squad. Dick Irwin Would Like Whip Leafs (By The Canadian Press) Nothing would give Coach Dick Irwin of Montreal Canadiens great- er pleasure than a victory by his team over Toronto Maple Le: the club he coached for a good many seasons up until this one, and al- though the Montrealers haven't been able to do it in two meetings this season they get another chance tonight. By all accounts the National Hoc key League-leading Leafs should win, for they found no trouble w Canadiens in the first two game and while the Leafs occupy the loft- iest position in the league the Mont- realers are in sixth place. There's no comparison in the goals scored and goals against records of the teams, |'for Leafs are ahead of everybody but Boston Bruins in the first de- | partment and have had less goals scored against them than any other { club. But there have been signs lately | that Canadiens are improving, after a slow start, under the patient Irvin. So far the numerous rookies on the | team have been getting most of the the game.

MILLERS BEAT OMAHA Minneapolis, Dec. 12 (AP) --Emery Hanson scored three goals, one the deciding shot in the third period with four minutes to go, and Min- neapolis Millers beat Omaha Knights 4-3 last night in the Ameri- can Hockey Association.

A. sub-committee endorsed a pro- posal to pool five per cent of the gross receipts of every league and playoff game and share the spoils five ways at the conclusion of the season. This arrangement replaces the old, friction-producing system whereby Toronto teams were guar- anteed $30 for trips to Guelph and $20 for trips to Oshawa but had to make no guarantee to the outside teams when they played in Toron- to. Clubs accepted Secretary W. A. Hewitt's plan for a double schedule, comprising forty games. Each club will have eight home games. Four of the five teams will gain the play- offs. First and third and second and fourth teams will meet in the semi-finals, which will be on a 3- of-5 basis. The fins] series also will be a three-of-five affair. In case of ties, only ten minutes' cvertime will | be played. The league schedule will start unwinding next Tuesday night with a doubleheader at Maple Leaf Gar- dens. Guelph plays Native Sons in the first game, while Young Rang- ers and Marlboros clash in the second game.

MOVE IN FRONT TAKING SAINTS (By The Canadian Press) Hamilton's return to the position of undisputed leader of the Ontar- lo Hockey Association senior "A" series last night was overshadowed by the last 10 minutes of the game between Toronto Marlbores and London Streamliners.
