The Wings meet St. Mike's in Toronto on Saturday and Oshawa goes to Catharines tomorrow evening to tangle with the Falcons. It begins look as if the Generals can catch that 2nd-place spot and now that tford Kroehlers are going so well, a lot of local fans have changed '$heir minds and now feel that meeting St. Mike's first might be the best for the Generals. On the other hand--there's an even larger num- who still think the Generals would be better off to finish in 3rd and | Stratford first and take a chance on surviving to meet the winner Our own thoughts on the subject are perhaps | @ Onalt-St. Mike's series.

JUNIOR BEES Admission: Adults 35c--Children 15c By JACK MITCHELL Canadian Press Staff Writer Of the 30 and more rookies in- troduced this season in the National Hockey League's search for hard- rock youth, two rode shoulders above the pack today in the race for the Calder Trophy and the $1,000 With the regular schedule down to its last few weeks, spunky little Howie Meeker of Toronto Maple Leafs and Leo Gravelle, the Gazelle boy of Montreal Canadiens, were far however, seemed to depend on whe- ther you lived in Montreal or Toron- to. Meeker, the 22-year-old right- winger whose career seemed ended when an exploding grenade shatter- ed his legs two years ago, held a to | statistical edge. The streak from Stratford, Ont, amateur ranks hes rolled up 19 goals and 13 assists for 32 points in 37 games. Gravelle, who came up through Montreal amateur pons Bg is not far behind, however, with his 13 goals and 12 assists iri 30 games and the way the slim blond speedster has fitted into the world champion' Canadiens gives his boosters plenty of talking points, Both the trophy candidates will be in jon on the same ice Saturday, when the N. H. L, gets back into week-end action. The Canadieng are visitors at Toronto in a game that the second-place Leafs need badly to cut down the league- leading Montrealers six-point edge and also to wipe out the memory of that 82 defeat in their last meeting in Montreal. The Canadiens boast another newcomer this season, husky de- 'enceman Roger Leger, who would be a logical contender for the rookie honors but for one previous season, In 1943-44, Leger who has scored three goals and assisted in 13, play- ed seven games with the New York Rangers. The Leafs themselves have sever- al other prize-packets among their rookie studded lineup, particularly defencemen Garth Boesch, Jim Thompson and Gus Mortson, But the fact that the Calder Trophy has never gone to a defenceman in its 10-year history helps stack the cards against them. With Boston Bruins, Chicago HOWIE MEEKER AND LEO GRAVELLE TOP FAVORITES FOR CALDER TROPHY 'out in front, Just which was leading, Black Hawks and Detroit Red Wings all introducing new faces in the last few weks in an attempt to bolster their playoff drives, each hag several candidates who might have threatened If given a longer chance to show. One is Fernie Flamon, the husky Bruins rearguard whom Boston fans have likened to Eddie Shore in the 12 games he has played. Another is Emile (The Cat) Fran- cis, 'the goalie whom Chicago brought up from Regina senior ranks. In two games, Francis has al- Jowed five goals for one victory and a tle, TORONTO CURLERS WIN NT. HONORS Toronto V Vics Rink Captures Ontario Title right to represent Dominion curling championships at Saint John, N.B., next month now belongs to a foursome from the To- roato Victorias Curling Club, skip- ped by Nicol MacNicoll. They earn- ed the right last night by defeating veteran skip Stan Serjeant's Orillia team 12-7 in the final of the On- tario British Consols Trophy at Toronto Granite Club. Nicol"s rink moved slowly but surely through the first round and semi-finals -- never winning by big margins, but steadily winning. Their biggest edge came in the first round, when they took Syd Smithers and his Galt aggregation with an easy 11-6 win. Stan Ser- jeant played this. round with Bob Wilson's London four, winning 15-14. In the semi-final MacNicoll's boys barely pushed out Ray Best and his Peterborough men, winning with a 12-11 score after am extra end. Stan took this one from P. D. Campbell and his Hamilton Thistles entry 11-8. Consolation event of the British Consols Trophy meet was captured by Bob Wilson, who took the award back to London by virtue of an 11-8 score over Galt's Syd Smithers. Ben Ward's Oshawa Curlers Win Trophy At Lindsay Bonspiel Lindsay, Feb. 14 -- (CP) -- Ben Ward's Oshawa rink won the Vic- toria Trust and Savings Company Trophy yesterday in open competi- tion with 27 rinks at a bonspiel here. Winners: Victoria Trophy, Ben Ward, Oshawa; prizes: George Beall, Lindsay, three wins; Gerald Simmons, Gravenhurst, three wins; R. Butler, Lindsay, two wins, Carl Hussey, Haliburton, one win and high score. Galt Rink Wins Guelph's Colts Spiel | Guelph, Feb. 14 -- (CP) -- Jack Patrick's Galt rink wrested The Ramsey Trophy from the 1946 title- holders at the annual Guelph Curl- ing Club Colts Bonspiel last night. Curling a steady game, the Galt foursome outpointed J. W. Wyse's Toronto Victorias all the way for a 9-3 win in the championship tussle. The defeat was the only setback of the 'spiel for the strong Toronto rink, which was bidding for its sec- ond straight title in the local event. E. Nicholson of Sarnia, gained a close 13-10 decision over M. Legate, of "Guelph to carry off honors in the second event. The Consolation Series was won by W. Cook, of Drumbo. Barbara Ann Out In Front In Stockholm Stockholm, Feb. 14 -- (CP) Barbara Ann Scott of Ottawa was leading in the Women's World Fig- ure Skating Championship today after the two first compulsory fig- ures. She had an unofficial 380.8 points, Grechen Merrill of Boston, United States contender, was second with 373.2, and was followed by Daphne Walker, Jeanette Altwegg and Bridget Shirley Adams, all of Eng- land. Eleven years of rigorous routine behind her, lissome Barbara Ann took the ice today to make her life- long dream come true -- to win' the women's world figure skating cham- pionship for Canage. Barbara Ann, who since last No- vember in Ottawa set up a training schedule that would be tough for any athlete to live up to, attempted to repeat or even better her out- standing performance in winning the European skating championship at Davos Platz, Switierland, last month -- a triumph that establish- ed her as ome of the favorites for the world title. Through her spartan training program, with the world champion- ships always in mind, Barbara Ann sacrificed almost all of her social life. She left Ottawa at the height of her biggest social winter, after coming out as one of the season's debutantes. At Davos Platz there was little time for recreation and here there has been less, "No parties for me until competi tion's finished" has been the green- eyed girl's pledge since $he arrived in Stockholm two weeks ago. Under the expert care of her mother, Mrs. Clyde Scott, and her instructors and traingrs, Barbara Ann has followed the schedule of "to bed at 10" religi- ously. She spent most of her time in the swanky Carlton Hotel, away from party tempters. Experts looked for Britta Raehlen of Sweden to give Barbara Ann her stiffest competition for the ice queen's throne. Barbara Ann has not expressed any desire to succumb to the finan- cial inducements of the professional skating world. She doesn't think the life would appeal to her on a permanent basis, Escoe' Takes Canadian Title Defeating Arnold Hayes of Montreal, Toronto's Vern Escoe scored a | knockout in the 10th round of a slow-moving unexciting bout to become heavyweight champion of Canada, Although booed by the spectators for | his languid style of fighting, Escoe's daughter and nephew Paul still | think he's tops as a musician as he entertains them with his better than | average piano playing. G. W. McLaughlin Memorial Trophy and Colts Bonspiel, Popular Curling Events, Each Has A Large Two of the most interesting an- nual competitions held at the Osh- awa Curling Club are the Geo. W. McLaughlin Memorial Trophy event and the "Colts Trophy" event. The G. W. McLaughlin Memorial Trophy, most handsome piece of silverware in the Oshawa Curling Club's possession, is one of the keenest and most enthusiastic club competitions and this year's draw finds four sections of 10 rinks in | each section, seeking the coveted honors. Play in this event started two weeks ago -and is fast reaching the playoff stages while 27 rinks in the "Colts" events swing into their first games of elimination on Mon- day might, with the Consolation event in the Colts play starting on Wednesday. In the "Colts" play, rinks No. 1 to No. 16 play on Monday night at seven o'clock while rinks No. 17 to No. 22 curl at nine o'clock.
