His half way total was 120. His 32-30 score yesterday, which stunned an outstanding field, was eight under par for the El Rio Course where the tournament is being held. He bagged eight birdies, only missed one green during the second round and needed but 28 putts. Starting off the previous day with a 67, he easily breezed past the field yesterday with the finest round ever played on the flat, fairly easy 6,400- yard course. . . . . Two conferences yesterday failed to break a salary deadlock between Stan Musial, the National League's champion batter last season, and Sam Breadon, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals. Musial is demanding a 100 per cent increase over his 1946 salary--reported to have been in the neighborhood of $14,000 . .. . Snow and cold weather throughout the British Isles resulted in cancellation of half the Rugby League football matches scheduled for today and only one Rugby Union match plus the International game between Scotland and Wales at Edin- burgh will be played. Bill Cowley In Slump As Record Close Two slumps currently bringing gray hairs to their respective own. ers go on the National Hockey Lea- gue firing line tonight and it wouldn't be surprising to see them turned into shattered clay pigeons before the week-end smoke clears. The unhappy owners of the let- downs are, on the one hand, the league-leading Toronto Maple Leafs jd on the other ,Boston Bill Cow- ey. Cowley must rue the day that N.H.L, president Clarence Campbell revealed the veteran Bruin play- maker had a chance to set two all- time scoring records. That was nearly a month ago and Bill has scored only one assist since. In that period, however, the Ot~ tawa boy missed a couple of games through injury and this week-end, barring further accident, he gets a double chance at the marks, both held by Syd Howe, the Detroit Red Wings veteran who retired after 16 NHL. seasons, ° With the 'third-place Bruins meeting the Red Wings at Detroit tonight and then going on to a Sunday night stand at Chicago, Cowley needs three scoring points to pass Howe's record totals--528 points in regular season N.HL. play and 572 in league and playoff matches. Cowley now has 526 and 570 points respectively. Unlike the veteran Boston centre, the Maple Leafs can lay one of their slumps to publicity. . With them, it's an injury jinx that draws the major blame for the slump that has seen them go four game with- out a victory, only one of which was a draw. The Leafs, now only one point ahead of Montreal Canadiens, draw the last-place Black Hawks as op- ponents in Toronto tonight. As it's their only week-end stand while Canalliens are playing two, the meed the victory to stand half a chance of emerging from the week- end still in the lead. Canadiens, who whipped Toronto 2-0 Thursday night, meet the fourth-place Rangers in Montreal Saturday night and then play a return engagement in New York. TO TRY FOR TITLE Sudbury, Feb, 1 -- (CP) -- 8yd Binns and CHff Thomas of Calgary arrived yesterday by automobile to take part in Canadian Speed Skat- ing Championships to be held here next week. Accompanying them were three supporters, Virginia and Iris McFarlane and Eugene Mason. Proposed Change In Hockey Lines Would Be Tough Ottawa, Feb. 1 -- (CP) -- Throw a new rule into the game, and you have an argument in this hockey- wise centre. This fact was apparent this week as New York's inventive Frank Boucher invaded the Capital with an NHL. team and an idea for eliminating the red line' in the middle of the rink. Between Frank Boucher and brother Buck, coach of Ottawa Sen- ators, the idea cooked up was to leave no centre line, and move the blue lines 10 feét farther away from the goals. They tried it at the ex- hibition game last Tuesday night in which New York Rangers downed Senators 7-3. Fans are divided on the results, although as Frank Boucher said afterwards: "It's hard to tell from one game." Sober second thought, however, gave many others the impression that the new rules were pretty hard on today's average hockey player. "With the red line at centre ice eliminated, and the blue lines mixed out towards centre, there definitely was more sustained action, as passes could be made from any place with- in the defending side's area up to the opposing team's blue line," one sports writer said. "The concensus was that adoption of the newly-designed playing sur- face would mean a terrific tax on manpower, - The day of the slow- skating defence man definitely would have passed and the increas- ed skating required would tend to burn out players much faster than is the case under present playing regulations." All sources agreed it would take more than one game to determine whether the new rule would elimin- ate the ganging at ends it was de- signed to kill. Both teams, they said, were unfamiliar with the rules and therefore played uncertain hockey. At any rate, it was an experiment, and coach Boucher feels it's only the beginning. He says: "I think the day isn't far off when all there will be is a red line at centre. There won't be any blue lines and the rinks will be divided in two." DOWN THE ALLEY The other night Austin 'Spafford scored 12 straight strikes to bowl the second perfegt game in the his- tory of Woodstdck, Ont. The only other perfect score bowled in that city was made in 1932.

The final group game of the season, Legionnaires who have three times lost to the league leaders by a 5-4 count, will be out to proye that their play-off ambitions are based on solid foundations. The Brantford team are a crowd-pleasing aggregation and feature a style of forechecking by ceatremen Robin Hewson and "Scotty" Lynn that has caused the Oshawa team con- siderable trouble in the past. Well-coached and strong in all departments, Brantford are definitely the team to beat for league honors. Earlier in the season Oshawa defeated Branf- ford 6-4 on local ice and lost to 'the Kipp-coached crew by a 5-4 score in overtime, The injury jinx that has fol- lowed the Legionnaires in re- cent weeks seems to have re- lented, with Bill Mortimer, who has been out for over a month, now skating with the team. It is hoped that he will be avail- able for the playoffs, where his ability and experience will add greatly to the Oshawa rear guard. Ab Barnes, who missed Monday's game is now ready to go and the popular defence- man, who appears to improve with age, will be back in his old spot in the lineup. His return will mhke it possible for Gar Peters, speedy left winger, who has been helping out on de- fence, to return to his regular position on a line with Frank White and Doug Ifurey. Brantford will be at full strength for the encounter, although they had hoped to have Umbo Concessi of Port Colborne signed for the game. The speedy star could not how= BRANTFORD HERE MONDAY NIGHT, LAST LEAGUE GAME ever secure waivers from the Niagara District clubs despite tempting inducements.

VISITORS Only One Game Played Here Last Night As Port Perry Boys Fail to Reach Oshawa, Due Snow By BOB RIFE The O.C.V.I. Senior cagers made up for the non-appearazce of the snow-bound Port Perry team for the first game of a scheduled twiif™ bill, by taking the Trinity. College Senior squad into camp by the score of 34-24, last night up at the local hool gym. ' This i the second win for the Oshawa quintet in league play and they played a terrific game all the way and only in the very first min- ute of play was the outcome ever in doubt, Oshawa in Top Ferm Oshawa got the Arst basket but then came a magnificent scoring splurge by the T.C.8. squad. They rolled in three quick counters and looked as though they were going |S to make it a very one-sided affair, but their lead was short-lived for the Oshawa team picked up the threads and went to work with agg will to win that they had never had in any game before this year. Their passing was superb and the mastery of the intricate plays was thrilling in that the man who was to | score was given very easy shots by some marvelous faking work on the part of the guards. Dell especially was having one of his better nights in the way that he set up the other players although he appeared in the scoring column very little himself. Rogers was the standout player for the T.CS. quintet and he never relaxed but kept that ball moving forward and topped the rest of his team in points the first half. He would have made it hard for Osh- awa to keep ahead if it weren't for the great work being done up front for Oshawa. Reddoch and Craw- ford vied with each other in trying to make top honours in the tally department. They came off even with three baskets apiece. Smart passing plays were the word in the first half and the teams showed a preference for their for- wards when they made the set-ups. The front line men, however, also found that the enemy were on their toes with hard and close checking which threatened to tire all the guards before even the first quarter was over. At the half the score was 19-9 for Oshawa and the team was definitely enjoying themselves as they went off the floor for a rest. Change Style, But--! After the half T.C.8. switched checking tactics and brought out their man-to-man style in an ef- fort to stop the prolific Oshawa scoring. The checking had the de- sired effect for awhile but soon the locals saw the way to bust up this style of play as they turned up their speed another notch and hung their checking enemies up on their pro- verbial hook. Some fast breaking plays were put into working order by the Red, Green and Gold team and they were soon rolling in the baskets again. T.C.S. meanwhile were noi being idle in a scoring way and Dame came in for his share of the glory as he stepped into the limelight with some nice centre-lane push shots. Sweny tried to use his set shot against the Oshawa Ione but the guards immediately came for- ward and squelched the move after he had scored ome of the long loopers. Oshawa moved into the final quarter by coasting a little on their lead and taking advantage of the mistakes made by the Port Hope team, Dell broke into the , column finally for dg policd three dandies e game ended very quie after a timeout when on ir at team was trynig to put up shother type of attack.
