b PAGE TWELVE { THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE . MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1947 PRIDE OF, THE. CANADIENS GOT HIS 8 © FIRST TASTE OF HOCKEY - WINNIPEG z 4 hg NAPSHOTS Comrie There were no upsets in the O.H.A. Junior "A" games of the week- * end. Only game in which one was actually expected of course was the Marlboro-Oshawa affair but the Generals took care of that by coming * up with a pretty fair hockey display to take charge of the event fairly early, put it under control in the second period and finish it off with enough to match Marlboros' desperate 'thirg-period bid. The 4-point oy puts the Generals in third place alone--much to the chagrin of %. both Stratford and Barrie, who were hoping for a Marlboro win, since the Dukes have only one more game and one more chance to add to their + point-total, a 2-point tilt up in Barrie, to be played within the next 7° gouple of weeks. Galt Red Wings had no trouble winning their 4-point ¥ game in Windsor from an injury-riddled Spitfire team, so the Red Wings +» Bow have a total of 46 points, just 10 points behind St. Mike's. Oshawa .. had 42 while Stratford and Marlboros are at present tied with 38 points ". each and Barrie is in 6th spot with 368 points having been soundly « trounced by St. Mike's on successive nights, at home and at the Gardens. & However, Barrie still have a few games left so they can add points to *. their total yet and likely finish in 5th spot. * * * St. Mike's walloped Barrie Flyers on Saturday afternoon 11-0 and this following the 8-3 game in Barrie on Friday, gave Fleming Mackell a great chance to boost his point-total, which he did. He's now within 2 points of the high total garnered by "Tod" Sloan last season--with a few games yet to play and a great chance to reach the 80 mark. © Mackell has had an easier time than Sloan, with such teams as Hamilton, St. Catharines, Windsor and Young Rangers providing little hindrance to his ambitions, plus the fact that there We more games this year; in the 10-team loop. St. Catharines won at home 11-3 over the Hamilton Szabos and not that it makes any * difference, but it gives the Falcons a great chance to beat out * YWindsor for 7th spot--the first "also-ran" position in the standing. Kroehlers will break that 2-way tie for 4th spot tonight, is expected, when they journey to Hamilton. Kroehlers should "win and that will give them an even 40 points, two ahead of Marl- bores. Tomorrow night, Barrie visits Galt and Barrie will be looking for & win. They've got to get another win if they hope to pass Marlboros in the bid for 5th spot. * * * Oshawa hockey fans who have been following the fortunes of the *Legionnaires" will be on hand at the Oshawa Arena tonight to see the . Jast local group game of the schedule. The league-leading Brantford Redmen play here tonight and it's not only the last home game of the schedule for the Legion team but it is also the last game of any kind, {i 8» the schedule, for Brantford. Legionnaires still have a game in London this week and a couple more with Kitchener, next week, both "away fi rom home." Tonight's game should be a real sizzler. The Legionnaires - would like very much to take a fall out of the Brantford squad tonight. #1t would not only cinch second place for Oshawa but it would also set {'#the stage for the group playoffs and raise the morale of the Legion i boys, who know they must eliminate the Redmen eventually, if they hope to continue into O.H.A. playdowns, in quest of the Inter "A" champion- ship. . * * * Fourteen rinks from Oshawa and neighboring clubs, will tangle at the Oshawa Curling Club tomorrow, starting at mine o'clock in the morning, in the district playoffs for the British Consols' single- rink competition and right to go to Toronto in quest of the Ontario championship and right to compete in the "Macdonald Brier" for the Dominion curling title. There are several Oshawa foursomes entered tomorrow and should one of them survive the four games, they'll win the right to go to Toronto for the Provincial playoffs. In the event two Oshawa rinks survive-the semi-finals, it's just Joatiie that the final match might be postponed until Wednesday ons Eg ¥ i FE ©. [JL fl i ge.

SCRAMBLE By JACK MITCHELL Canadian Press Staff Writer ' The topsy-turvy results of a Na- tional Hockey League week-end in which the mighty were smitten right and left today pounded home Frankie Boucher's sage, if obvious, proziouncement to the effect that "they're all tough to beat this year." Boucher was talking for .his rising Rangers, of course, But if a poll were taken of the other five teams, | cag even the Montreal Canadiens who finally jockeyed into the league lead during the week-end would prob- ably join in the Parliamentary "hear, hear." Some disagreement has been voiced from time-to time whether the current "scramble-bang" brand of hockey brightens the game but most of the men on the firing line agree its stamina-demanding pace leaves none of the old "schedule soft-spots." hp - Pace to Tell For sure, that's the way it's re- garded by Toronto Maple Leafs, who capped a fortnight of waning vim and vigor by dropping their hold on first place along with a 5-4 loss to the cellar-dwelling Chicago Black Hawks in their only week- end start, The indignity of double-disap- pointment -- a 2-2 draw with the fifth-place Detroit Red Wings coupled with a 3-1 pasting by Chi- 0 -- convinced Boston Bruins, whose in-and-out showing in third position perhaps left them needing but little convincing. Their twin triumphs no doubt lifted a little of the gloom surround- ing the Chicago camp but the Hawks know too well how a door- mat feels on a rainy day to forget how hard the victories come. The Stanley Cup champion Can- adiens were sitting|/on top of the world after a hard-fought 2-1 tri- out whatever pride the victory brought by taking a 7-1 fall out of the Canucks the following night -- Montreal's worst drubbing of the season. Rangers Get Revenge The Canadiens, riding a flve- game winning streak, scored the opening counter before a crowd of 15,926 at New York -- but the Ran- gers bagged the next seven. Defenceman Emile (Butch) Bou- chard started Montreal off right. Tony Leswick got that goal back, then Edgar Laprade and Grant Warwick each tallied while Mont- real's Maurice Richard was serving a minor and 10-minute misconduct to start the avalanche early in the second period. Rene Trudel added another and Rangers finished with third-period goals by Church Russell, Bryan Hextall and Laprade, his second umph over Rangers Saturday night | tally shot them one point ahead of the Maple Leafs. The Rangers wiped The Canadiens might have seen it coming at Montreal, when it took lots of effort and as much luck to edge the Blueshirts before a crowd of 11,383. They paid off on goals by Billy Reay and Richard, his 31st of the season, against Leswick's lone counter for the Rangers. 'The Leafs' loss to Chicago, mark- ing their fifth straight winless game, was closely followed by an announcement that Toronto is bringing up reinforcements for their injury-riddled ranks. Manager Conn Smythe, returning from" a Florida holiday, sdid a forward and a defenceman will be added. Syd Smith Coming Up The forward is S8yd Smith, Tor- onto boy moving up from Pitts- burgh Hornets of the American League, and the defenceman is rugged Bill Barilko, 19-year-old na- tive of Timmins, who comes via Hollywood Wolves of the Pacific Coast League. A crowd of 13,390 saw the need for help when Toronto dropped a 2-0 lead in losing to Hawks. The Bent- ley boys and Alex Kaleta did all the Chicago scoring, Doug Bentley and Kaleta each getting two and Max Bentley one. 'Gaye Stewart fired two and Ted Kennedy and Syl Apps one each for Toronto. The Bruins averted a loss before a crowd of 12,678 at Detroit with goals by Bep Guidolin and Eddie Barry within 28 seconds ix the last 10 minutes. * Pete Horeck and Jim Conacher fired the Wings into a second-period lead. There was a monster crowd of 17,998 at Chicago to cheer the Bruins to defeat Sunday night. Af- ter Don Gallinger sent Boston ahead, Bill Gadsby, Eddie Wares and Max Bentley scored goals that chalked up the Hawks second straight victory. Detroit, holding fifth place by five points over Chicago, announced they were bringing back rookie Gerry Couture from Indianapolis Capitals of the American League. GENERALS MOVE INTO 3rd PLACE ALONE Oshawa Defeats Marlboros In Spirited 4-Point Tussle to Move Right In Behind Galt * Pogue - Scholes - Gamble Line Hits Stride in Clean-Cut Victory Over "Dukes" -- Marlboros Rally in 3rd Period But Generals Hold Firm -- Rugged Checking and Temper Flare-Up Fea- tures of Final Frame By G.H.C. Oshawa Generals moved into un- disputed possession of third place in the O.H.A. Junior "A" race, when they defeated Toronto Marlboros in a 4-point game at Maple Leaf Gar- dens, in the second half of a Sht- urday afternoon twin-bill, by & score of 6-3. Actually, the game wasn't as close as 6-3 for the Generals showed a marked edge throughout the entire struggle, although the Dukes did have several glorious scoring chances, in the first and third per- iods, which failed to click. Grabbed Early Lead With the Pogue-Scholes-Gamble line as the best trio on the ice, Oshawa took a 1-0 lead in the first period. Pogue potted the first goal with a backhand flip, on a pass from Samis. Pogue, who turned in his best game of the season, stuck almost entirely to the hockey busi- ness on hand and skated miles, in- stead of picking up petty penalties, scored Oshawa's third goal in the second period too. He might easily have had the first goal of the game, right from the face-off, within 15 seconds, when he took a perfect pass from Gamble, went in on Philbey all alone, but once again tried his favorite trick of going to the left side of the net and once again he flipped the puck into the goalie's pads. Hildebrand and Pogue made it 3-0 by the halfway mark in the third period, Hildebrand's goal be- ing a carom off a defending player. "Baldy" MacKay's sizzling shot made it 4-0 on passes from Bauer and Hildebrand and then Ray Tim- grea got his first goal, just before the period ended, on a passing play set up by Naylor. P Exciting Finish The third-period produced most of the real lively action. Naylor potted a lazy backhand shot during a ganging act while Gamble was serving a penalty and then Curik scored on Cerisino's pass, with a blazing shot, while Heggle was sit- ting out a term in the sin-bin. With a little over four minutes to play, Goalie Philbey rushed out of his net to go after a loose puck during a ganging play and he was pumped by Don. Bauer, who was also after the puck. Tempers, which had been on raw edge for a few minutes, due to the rugged checking which was being dished out on both sides, flared openly. Apparently thinking that Bauer had charged Philbey, two Marlboros, Philbey and Formica t into action. a flash, there were four bouts going on. Heggie was in the pen- alty box again or there might have been five bouts. Formica and Bauer tangled, MacKay and Hassard set to it, MacPherson and Raglan went into a clinch and Hosking and Hildebrand started to exchange hes. When it was all over, Hildebrand and MacKay for Oshawa and Has- sard and Raglan for Marlboros were all thumbed to the penalty box and each received a major penalty. Formica and Bauer, the originators of the fistic session, escaped un- noticed. While about half the players sal on the two sides of the rink, watch- ing four men from each team (in- cluding goalies) finish out the game, Ray Timgren got his second goal of the game to make it 5-3 on & break- away goal, going around Samis | nicely for.the tally. Just before it ded, Bauer broke away to get one bry the other end and conclude the scoring. Star Ray Timgren with two goals and an assist to figure on all of the Marlboro goals, was just about the best man on the ice and certainly Marlies' ace. Philbey turned in a fine game in thq nets to keep Osh- awa's total to the half-dozen mark, | with Gamble, Scholes, Bauer and Hildebrand all being victims of his §i| fine saves. Crowdis had to be good in the first and third periods when Marl- boros made their best showing and at times, the Oshawa rearguard wes caught flat-footed, out-of-posi- tion, which made his task no easier.

Mike's, Galt Generals Boost Their 1-2-3 Leads By The Canadian Press Galt Red Wings came within 12 points of the league-leading Tor- onto St. Michael's in week-end O.H.A. games that saw eight of the | Chic 10 Junior "A" clubs in action. St. Mike's won, of course, wallop- ing Barrie Flyers 11-0, but Galt picked up four points in their 9-4 triumph over Windsor Spitfires. Oshawa Generals are alone in third place, eight points back of Galt, as a result of their 6-3 tri- umph over Toronto Marlboros. In the other fixture St. Catharines Falcons ran up an 11-3 score on the visiting Hamilton Szabos, ' The Toronto Saturday afternoon doubleheader attracted 5,566 fans who saw a very one-sided affair in the opener. Fleming Mackell, who leads all Junior scoring aces, amass- ed five goals and one assist. Costello had three, Kelly two, and Hannigan got the other St. Mike's goal. Oshawa then proceeded to run up a 4-0 count before Marlboros hit the score. sheet in the second game. Pogue accounted for two of the Generals' counters, the others com- ing from Hildebrand, MacKay, Curik and Bauer. Timgren scored twice for Marlies, Naylor getting the other. At Windsor the injury-ridden Spitfires held Galt even at 2-2 in the first period, but Galt got seven fore before the Spitfires gained their last two tallies. Spitfires were minus three for- wards due to injuries, and occasion- ally used defencemen to relieve the forwards. Pavelich and Bruce Giesbrecht each scored two for Galt, Hnatuk, Wiseman, Glover, 'Uniac and Tkachuk getting the others. Gord Haidy got three of the Windsor goals, Paolatta notch- ing the fourth. . The 8zabos held the Falcons to '(1-1 in the first period at St. Cath- arines, and it was 2-2 halfway through the second before Falcons started to pile up the score. Fiore Geogan had three goals and four assists to lead the St. Catharines scoring parade. McOustra, Mac- Donald and Tweddle each had two, and Moy and Thompson singles. Plerre Cadieux scored two of the Hamilton goals and he assisted Rohmer on the third.

The game, which is the last home contest of the group schedule, looms as one of the outstanding attractions of the season dnd should give the fans a good pre- view of the Legionnaires playoff possibilities. "Ab" Barnes, husky defence ace will be all set to go after an enforced week's layoff, due to injuries and with Ken Mc- Naught, Cliff Hinton and Tom Murphy, the road to the Oshe- awa goal should be a rocky one. "Rube" Waddell, who has play- ed outstanding hockey all sea= son between the Oshawa pipes, will again be in the nets helping to discourage the Brantford snipers, Brantford, who are rolliag along on another winning streak, handed Kitchener a 9-5 drubbing on Friday night and once again it was their first string line of Robin Hewson, Wiacek and Wilson that star- red, accounting for six of the counters. The Ken Kipp coach= ed squad features a forecheck- ing style of hockey that so far has caused the Legionnaires plenty of grief. But with their own powerhouse line of Tisdall, Dafoe and Barker now in gear the meeting should be really interesting for compari= son purposes. The Oshawa team goes to London on Friday of this week and then finish up the group with two games in Kitchener, the following week.
