' The committee refused to sanc- . tion the alleged transfer of the St. Catharines Falcons Junior "A" franchise from E. J. Grades to the Thompson Products organization until all details concerning the pro- _ posed deal between the parties con- cerned are filed with the O.H.A. accepted as sat- isfactory to the O.H.A, executive. .

Port Hope-Orono Game Confusion over the number of players to be dressed for a game has resulted in Port Hope juniors be- such games have any bearing on Port Perry's final group standing, STRATFORD BOYS WILL VISIT U.S. FOR PUCK GAMES Stratford, Ont., Feb. 5 (CP)-- Two hockey teams of Canadian youngsters, all under 14 years, will invade two United States cities this month to show fans of those cen- tres the embryo stage of the devel- opment of perhaps some future puck-chasing stars and to aid in making the youngsters of the cities hockey conscious. - The teams, comprising 22 players who have been recruited from the public and separate schools of Stratford, Ont., will play exhibi- tion games against each other at Philadelphia, Feb, 15, and at Buf- falo the following night. The players are from various clubs here but for the two exhibi- tion games will be divided into two teams to be known as the Jullet Rockets and the Stratford Squirts. The trip has been arranged by Fred Cox of Stratford, in co-oper- ation with Peter Tyrrell and Herb Gardiner, owner and manager re- spectively of Philadelphia Rockets of the American Hockey League. Primarily the principal purpose is to boost hockey in the two cities and to help arouse the interest of the youngsters there to the point where they'll take up hockey seri- ously. By this sponsors of the trip hope they'll eventually develop some future professional stars from among the youth of the two cities. All expenses are being borne by the Philadelphia club and there is a possibility that the trip will be made an annual affair, especially if the first one turns out as suc- cessfully as those who are belind it expect. The youngsters, accompanied by Cox who will act as manager, coach- es Ches Snider and Laurie Harris and Dr. L. A. Macklin, will leave Stratford Feb. 14 by train. They will return Feb. 17. Injury Jinx Hits Defence Dept. In N.H.L. The injury-jizix seems to be pick- ing on defencemen in the National Hockey League this season in a way that underlines the old saw about big men toppling hardest. The Montreal Canadiens get a big chance to increase their one-point margin in tonight's clash with Bos- ton Bruins while the Leafs are idle but the injury-enforced absence of two key blue-line performers might well mess it up. With Kenny Reardon already sidelined for another 10 days or more with a shoulder separation, the Habitants found out last night that Leo Lamoureux would also be among the missing at Boston. Leo's knee, twisted as Canadiens defeated Toronto 2-0, last Thursday, collaps- ed under him when he donned skates yesterday. » Coach Dick Irvin said he would convert winger George Allen to the rearguard against the third-place Bruins, who have earned only a tie from Canucks in eight previous meetings. It's still doubtful whether Lam- oureux will be back in action for the Canadiens' home stand Thurs- day night against Toronto. definitely out for the season with a wrist-fracture that refused to heal properly, defence mate Garth Boesch still is about a week away from getting back into action. The Leafs, who saw a nine-point league-leading margin melt through injuries, finally decided to bring up Bill Barilko, however, and the rookie defenceman will see his first N.HL. action against Canadiens. The defence casualties are not confined to the two league leaders.

HOUSTON SERVICE STATION $7 KING ST. W. Phone 85 By JACK DURIE : A few years ago when people spoke of a winter vacation it meant only one thing--a trip to Sunny Florida. A trip that only a select minority could afford to enjoy. How times have changed! More and more people are discovering the boundless fun that a mew and dif- ferent type of winter holiday has to offer. Within a few hundred miles of 'home there are Ski Resorts and Ski Clubs to accommodate every pocketbook. On the snowy slopes and before the roaring fire there exists a spirit of friendly comrade- ship that cannot be equalled, Re- laxation beneath a sultry summer sun seems dull by comparison. With fresh exhilarating winds in your face--with thrills in every bump--with unsurpassed beauty-in- white at every turn -- and with meals fit for a Persian Prince--it's no wonder Ski Resorts are fast be- coming Canada's most popular playgrounds. ! "But I like the warm sunshine" someone will say. Unless you're anxious to become a piece of baked charcoal nothing can surpass, ski- ing for that perfect tan. Several days beneath the rays of a warm winter sun and your best friends won't ge able to distinguish you from an African Slave Trader. You may not have your legs and back done in a luscious brown--but you won't be punctuated with black fly or mosquito bites either. We'll venture to predict that in a scant few years a winter vacation will be normal routine for every- body. Just to start the ball rolling thirty members of the Oshawa Ski Club are heading for the Lauren- tian Hills on Feb. 28th. If you wish to be counted among the lucky omnes next year--just a word of advice. Make your reserva- tions early. At the present time there aren't enough resorts to go around. The two most popular On- tario Lodges--Tally-Ho and Lime berlost--are usually booked solid in the middle of August for the entire winter, Raglan over the weekend was much like a skating rink turned on its side. The hard crust made ski- ing straight downhill a speed demon's delight. A simple turn might easily send you carooming off like a comet into the ploughed fields beyond. Climbing back to the top was particularly tough over the slippery surface. This brings up the age-old question, "When is the Oshawa Ski Club going to install a tow?" Every- one thinks the idea is wonderful but no one seems to know when this "breathe-saver" will be built. If it isn't put up soon all Ski Club- bers will be stooped over and worn down to midget size. Despite the icy surface it was a beautiful day and hundreds of skiers were on hand to take advan- tage of the fresh air and exercise. Dean Paite did his good deed for the day by offering free instruction to those who desired to learn the finer points of skiing. Quite a num-+ ber took advantage of his teaching and no doubt feel much more skil- ful and confident on the hickory With Toronto's Bob Goldham now | boards. While no the subject of good deeds, Bob Johnson played the Good Samaritan by replacing a broken pane of glass in the club- house window. Many, however, will miss the little hole in the glass. Where will the smoke from the stove go now? Stoney Fisher and Dermott Con- way represented Oshawa in the Slalon races at Cobourg over the week-end. Dermott unfortunately was disqualified but Stoney placed sixth on the tough course. . Coming Events Once more we would like to keep you up to date on the latest de- velopments on the social fromt. This Friday evening you can enjoy floodlite skiling plus a Box Social. Don't let the name Box Social scare you. The lunches that the girls bring out will simply be auctioned off to the highest bidder. (a limit will be set of course). If you're driving please try to fill your car as there will be no bus transporta- tion, Ive Richards and Harold Arm- strong are making fine progress in their arrangements for another Movie Nite on Friday 24th. The new and different movies will be well worth seeing. On Saturday February 15th and Sunday February 16th you will have a chance to see the best Skiers in the Oshawa Club perform. The cross-country. races will take place at Raglan on Saturday while the downhill and slalom will be held at "Brimacombes" on Sunday. fenceman Bill Quackenbush was out for a long spell, . Two others -- Bill Juzda of New York Rangers and Toronto's Gus Mortson -- are vying for "most- banged-up-man" honors. Although both are still in action, both figure they have had 22 stitches taken in cuts, but Juzda claims the lead by one broken toe. The last-place Chicago Black Hawks, who will be seeking to stretch their winning streak to three games at home tonight against the fourth-place New York Rangers, also have a recent defence casualty. Rookie Ralph Nattrass was put out for an indefinite period by a deep facial cut suffered last week-end. Port Hope Bantams Defeat Bowmanville - Orono, Feb. 5 (Special to Times- Gazette)--In one of the tightest hockey games seen in Orono this season, Port Hope nosed out Bow- manville 1-0 here last night in spirited Bantam fixture. % Orono Midgets travel to Port Hope tonight to take 'on the Trinity College School boys and on Monday night, Orono's Jr. "C" team plays in Uxbridge.

Reddoch in goal too . . . Aside to Len Barker--What was your team Roy Cunningham Seeks 800 Points As Hockey Mark By AL COLLETTI Press Staff Writer New York, Feb. 4--(CP)--Versa« tile Leslie Roy Cunningham, Oal- League Hockey, wants to hang up his skates only after his lifetime scoring record hits the almost un- believable figure of 800 points---a goal he should be able to achieve in another season or two . .. The American Hockey League, and the old International-American and International Leagues, fore-runneis of the AHL. . .. The 83-year-old master playmaker also has tallied 64 points in play-off competition to bring his lifetime grand total up to Granted the competition in the Minor Pro Leagues doesn't compare with the National Hockey League where the old Detroit Star, Syd Howe holds the lifetime point-scor- ing record--561 points in 16 N.H.L. seasons including Stanley Cup play-offs and more than 600 points if you count in Howe's two. short spells in the minors--Cunningham's BElsievalmen is nothing to sneeze at... Outside of ailing Bill Cowley of tie Howe's record this season, there aren't many players around who can hope to hit the 800-point mark in their playing lifetime. Scintillating" Centre In running up his outstanding record Cunningham, who until this season has always scintillated at centre, scored 258 goals and made 388 assists in regular play while in the play-offs he notched 29 goals and furnished 35. assists . . . This year Coach Bun Cook of the Barons decided to use him in a utility role defence, on power plays when the Barons have had the advantage, and even to help kill off penalties . . still he has been able to ring up 32 points this year ... Cunningham's record has been built up on consistent scoring over his entire career in Pro Hockey which started with Buffalo in the old International League in the fall of 1934 , . . Since rejoining Cleveland in 1940-41 after a season which Chicago Black Hawks, Cun- ningham has average 73.3 points a season . . .

Until a short time ago, Monarchs, who went on to win the Canadian title last year; Moose Jaw Canucks and . Edmonton Canadians, once chosen to represent Canada in the World's Hockey Championships at Prague this month, also appeared on the list of favorites. But in the interval Moose Jaw, without starry Metro Prystai, has appeared very much a one-man team, Edmonton tied one game in four on a disastrous exhibition tour around Manitoba and Saskatche- wan and the Monarchs absorbed two defeats at Edmonton's hands. The Elks have won seven straight games to head the Manitoba June for "A" Hockey Association race, tossed Oshawa Generals for two exhibition losses and pinned a 9-2 defeat on Oanadians to place well up in selections for the Western Title, Regina Pats, heading the Sas-~ katchewan Junior League, also have turned back Edmonton and in addition have a verdict over Brandon in an earlier exhibition game. : Lethbridge Native Sons have stuck to engagements in the South- ern Alberta Junior circuit and no one outside that League, which they top, has a very good idea Just how good they are. 12 6 | Jesters, Come West Jr. Hockey| BOWLING NEWS MOTOR CITY LADIES MAJOR gary's modern Babe Ruth of Minor (ast Mo: ton nd | 201, of regular play, most of it in the | total team off 10 *he Aces for leav thelr team Re a job. pecially when you have over seventy people to please; Ladies' Righ single: Vera Bint 284, Marion Pisher 255, Leona McCann 225, ut, Muriel Parks 207, , Dorothy Coleman s t Hornby 204, Blanche Nor. * 203 Ina Heard 203, Bea Holland Maude Rorabeck 200, Ladies' high double: Vera Bint 451, Marion Fisher 424. le: Jim Scott 299, Men's high Jim Gordon 239, , Joe Follest 238, Art.
