: THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1940 Bill Cowley 'Leads Bruins To Halt Leafs Boston, Dec. 18 (CP). --Perhaps when Art Ross called this season's Boston Bruins the greatest Boston team of all time, a couple of months ago, he was thinking his Bruins would play every game the way they ,did against Teronto Maple Leafs ast night here. The Boston manager had little support, for his statement until Bruns snapped Leafs' eight-game 'winning streak with a 5-2 victory last night. . It was only the third time in 16 games of the cwrent National Hockey League schedule that Leafs had been beaten and Bill Cowley, the league's leading scorer, was the main force in an inspired Boston ®club that did scmething only Chi- "cago Black Hawks and New York "Rangers had been able to do pre- . viously this season. Cowley's driving shot early in the (first period was deflected past ; Goalie Turk Broda off Billy Tay- =lor's stick for the first Boston goal. Then, in the third period, with -Leafs pressing to tie the score as| * Boston led 2-1, Cowley scored the +#goal that broke the tension and "practically ended Toronto's hope of "victory. Cowley also got an assist, com- bining with Jack Shewchuk in" a play that wound up with a goal by Bddie Wiseman.

It was a veterans' night for the New Yorkers. Their first two goals were fired in by Charlie Conacher and Harvey Jackson, the one-time | kids of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Conacher scored the first goal, In the second period, by leaning on a | terrific drive from the boards that | sailed true to the corner through | a maze of legs The lead lasted 1'2 minutes, then Gus Giesebrecht scored from ten feet out after Modere Bruneteau fed him a perfect pass. The Ameri- cans went ahead again half way through the third on Jackson's goal, scored when Alfred Thurler and | Fred Hunt worked the puck out to | him from a scramble behind the Detroit « nets. ' With but 2'¢ minutes of reguldr time left, Detroit -again tied the score.

T. B. McQuesten, pal Affairs, who urged the change to Winston. Residents have protest- ed against the change, contending adopted the syr:bol.
