So close was the checking t many times the puck never got of the centre-ice area, as it possession continually due successful checking of the ubs on their own blue-line, Take Early Lead The OM-Men grabbed off an early lead of two goals in the first . "Ab" Barnes was respon- sible for the first tally, on a fast- breaking rush and clean-cut pass to Tisdale, who parked on the door- step, coolly flipped the puck past Mortimer. Midway through the period, Johnny Carr-Harris and Johnny Thompson combined for the pret- tiest piece of combination of the night goal Hal FL : and it produced the nicest In the middle canto, Eddie Pow- ers' boys turfied on the heat, He must have given them quite a pep-. talk between periods for their rug- ged checking and relentless pres- the very difficult feat of win- sure had the homesters demoraliz ed They dominated the play and while both of the goals they did get were tainted, you couldn't begrudge them because actually the Marlies had a wide edge in the play in this period and missed about five point- blank shots from less than ten feet range. George MacNamara fired the first one, from near the blue-line. Harry McQueston would have stop- ped it easily but he didn't see fit, due to the fact his own defensemen were backed in, blocking his view. It was almost as bad when Marl- ies tied it up, Shamlock stealing the puck from Jerry Cooper, and firing at the net. Inglis, standing in front, deflected it into the net. Jerry Cooper Wins It Jerry Cooper won the ball game in the third period. Shamlock was serving a penalty and was just get- ting ready to come back to the ice when the GM-Men whipped the puck around in the Duke area, Tis- dale to Ritchie to Cooper and Jerry promptly fited. The shot was from well out but Mortimer couldn't see it coming, #8 his view was partially blocked too and the puck 'hit the open side of the net. Terrific Pressure The last seven minutes of the game proved hectic. The fans were up on thelr feet screaming in the excitement as Marlboros did every- thing except tie the score, They peppered McQueston from every conceivable angle. Moet of them he stopped with brilliant saves and when it was over, he was soaked in perspiration. However, the luck was with the homesters too for several of the shots had McQueston beat cold, He couldn't see them for the crowd in front but they just hap- pened to miss the net by inches, or looped over the top. Sometimes a stick or player's leg, as they milled around at the edge of the crease, would deflect the flying puck. It was hectic but it "made" the hoc~ key game. Oshawa's "Third Line", headed by Roy Covert and flanked by Peters and Reid, tumed in an especially grand effort.

(DIY ih , BILRY TAYLOR PLACE" BILL DUNN Junior Dukes JTrounce Sons Toronto, Dec. 24---Elected cap- tain of the team in a pre-game cere- mony, Elwyn Morris, hustling little defenseman, accepted his new re- sponsibilities with a flourish last night as he paced Marlboros to & 10-3 victory over Native Sons in an O.H.A. Junior "A" game at the Gar- dens. The smiling, curly-headed kid, who proved a scintillating football rockie with Argo seniors last sea- son, personally pointed his mates to the winner's circle with five scoring points. He bagged one goal and set the stage for an additional quartet as the Cotton Clubbers overcame a 2-1 deficit during the first period, and went on to triumph handily. Morris, who is playing his fourth and last season with the Marlies, was elected on a second ballot after the original vote produced a three- way deadlock involving Bobby Mc- Laughlin and Bob Goldham as well. El Capitan shared the spotlight with Gaye Stewart and Ernie Dick- ens, Stewart, a Port Arthur product flashed his best performance since hitting these diggings and came through with three goals. Dickens, rapidly proving himself a hot pro prospect, put on a defensive dis- play that was definitely tops for the season. He had the rival attackers doubling up -- but not with laugh- ter. Bobby Dew signalized his debut with the Dukes by plunking a pair of shots into the Native Son net. Staff Smythe also nabbed a brace, and drew an assist to boot. Bill Cowley Far In Front Montreal, Dec. 24--Bill Cowley, Boston Bruins' centre star, went seven more points ahead of his nearest rival in the National Hockey League's individual performance standings during the week ending Dee. 23, it was shown last night in statistics released by the NHL. headquarters here. Scoring two goals and six assists during the week, Cowley ihcréased his point total to 26, eight' than Bryan Hextall of New Rangers, who last week was only one point behind him. Tied with Hextall for second place with 17 points were Sylvanus Apps of To- ronto and Eddie Wiseman of Bos- ton. Cowley's total was made up of seven goals and eighteen assists, more assists than any other player in the league. The best NHL. scorer to date was Dave Schriner of Toronto with eleven goals, one 'more than Hextall's goal total. Both Apps and Wiseman have scored seven times and assisted in ten other goals. Jimmy Orlando of Detroit is the official league badman with an minutes in the penalty box against him, but Red Goupille of Montreal Canadiens has -the edge on him when misconduct penalties are taken into consideration. Goupille has spent forty minutes in the box, including two 10-minute misconduct penalties. The league formerly counted misconduct penalties in the total, but 1s keeping a separate record of them this season.
