THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE SAGE FIFTEEN WESTERN U. MUSTANGS DOMINATE INTERCOLLEGIATE ALL-STARS Ten Western Ontario Gridders Catch Berths & A 4 ¢ Queen's and McGill Each "Have One Player On ""Mythical Squad but :-¥arsity Blues Fail to «Catch a Spot -- Entire {n-Front Line from West- *vern -- Jack Parry Is ad "YInanimous Choice with «Possible 24 Votes Gnd ROBERT CLARKE a Press Staff Writer #Poronto, Nov. 13--(CP)--Univers- #y of Western Ontario Mustangs came ducking out of their corral today to sweep all but two of the @oien positions on the Intercolleg- imte~Rugby Football Union All-Star am. So domination of the All-Star quad, picked for the Canadian Rress by football writers and coaches in the four Union cities, came as no surprise. The Mustangs have roped and tied the opposition in spectacular fashion, rolling along at virtually a 40-points-per-game clip. 'Possibly the greatest tribute paid py the selectors to the rampaiging outfit coached by Johnny Metiras was the choice of Mustangs for the eniire front wail of the 'dream' team. Three Western backfielders also were chosen while McGill Red. men and the Goiden Gaels of Queen's each picked up a place. The team: Flying wing -- Don McFarlane, Western. Half--Jack Parry, Western. Half--Bob McFarlane, Western. Half (secondary)--Murray Hayes, McGill, ; Quarter--Al Lenard, Queen's. Snap--Ben Wiison, Western. Inside--Bill Jarvie, Western. Inside--Gordon McLean, Western. | Middle--Gerry Duck, Western. Middle--Bill Ford, Western. Outside--Fabien cwury, Western. Outside--George Turnbull, West- EN. . Tribute To Mustangs | To say that the all-star team has 'everything--speed, weight, scoring power, a good defence--it tania- mount, of course, to saying that the Mustangs have everything. Their re- cord speaks volumes in this respect 193 points marked up in five gaines against 15 points achieved by their opposition. Western's goal-line has been crossed on only two oC- asions. ¥ Selection of the McFarlane broth- ers and Parry provides a backfield second to none in Canada when it comes to out-and-out speed. three are regarded as cinches for the Canadian Olympic track team. The 62" 'Bob McFarlane, a 200- pounder, is the best known in a track way. He holds the Canadian quarter-mile record in time con- sidered good enough to make him a point-winner for Canada at the Olympics. ig are Hayes and Lenard lost in such classy company, even though they are not as mercury- footed as the Western ages. Hayes as been outstanding with a weak °Gill team. He can pass, kick, plunge or run well and is able to back up a line with crisp tackling. Lenard, a good traffic director, filled much the same role with the Gaels. Parry Unanimous Choice Parry was the only unanimous choice for the all-star team. He re- ceived the maximum 24 points in the balloting, weighted to give equal voting strength to each union city. The McFarlanes emerged with the next best point totals, Bob getting 22 marks and Don 18. Hayes and Lenard had good margins over bo who received points in the ting. Rtone. the line, Duck received the greatest support from the selectors with a point score of 17. He and are almost carbon copies in si?€." Duck, who is 25, stands 5'11" and weighs 183 pounds. Ford, three years younger than his all-star teammate, is a six-footer who tips the scale at identically Duck's weight. Wilson is a reformed middle shift- ed by Coach Metras to centre last season. Like the other members of the Mustangs chosen for all-star |V.AH. line spots, he is big and fast, Jarvie and McLean, chosen for the inside positions, each received 11 points. Curry and Turnbull, given the end posts, received their closest competition from teammate Bil Whrdle who was chosen on last bear's all-star team. Hockey's Big Seven By The Canadian Press : Syl Apps, Toronto's veteran cefitre picked up a goal and an in Leafs' defeat last night to increase his first place berth in the National Hockey League scoring race by two points. Apps has 14 points made up of six goals and eight assists. Bud O'Connor tallied a goal to take over sole posses- slon of second place with 12 points. Bryan Hextall of Rangers garnered a goal and an assist to move into two- way split for third place with Mont- real"s Maurice Richard who was idle last night, each having 11 points.

From Other Sports Cols. By DOUG GREEN Canadian Press Staff Writer' Edmonton, Nov. 13 (CP)--There's a brisk demand for crying towels among Edmonton's hockey fans these days because of the poor showing of the Flyers, the city's entry in the Western Canada Senior Hockey League, so far this season, For Sports Editors George (Ed- monton Journal) MacIntosh and Hal (Edmonton Bulletin) Dean, it was just too much when the league- leading Regina Caps thumped Fly- ers 9-4 in a recent set-to, Said Hal: "Edmonton hockey fans deserve something better . . . this city has consistently outdrawn all others in the circuit since the Western Cana- da League commenced in the fall of 1945." Snapped George: "A wretched performance . . « to stay up. with the pace in this league: the Flyers need to be strengthened, but where the right kind of talent is to be had is the problem. It should have been here earlier than this, most fans think, and theyre showing little restrain in saying so." . Dean conceded it was common knowledge that the Exhibition As- sociation, operators of the cellar= dwelling city entry, had"been dis- appointed in its efforts to obtain three or four players it had sought, But Calgary Stampeders had ob- | tained replacements and additions, and "Regina's efforts certainly have borne fruit." Both' writers put the Association and Flyer coach Frank Currie -- | formerly of Montreal Royals -- on | the griddle. Dean said no replace ! ments had been obtained for two | illustrious Flyer alumni -- Bob Sol- inger, now with Cleveland Barons of the American Hockey League, | and Bobby Carse, now of Montreal Canadiens. One indignant sports lover, writ- ing to Dean, termed this assertion Russ Football 'Squad Defeats Swedes "literary pernicious anaemia." He deal "as a long-suffering supporter of Edmonton who has attended | games for years whether good or | bad." So, it appears, are most fans | hereabouts. Chicago Hawks Give Leafians 1st Home Loss By ROBERT CLARKE Canadian Press Staff Writer Chicago Black Hawks let out a | ened up their tomahawks for the next phase of their toupee quest. scalp of the National Hockey Lea- gue season last night, beating Tor- | onto Maple Leafs 5-4 while Boston | Bruins romped to an 8-2 triumph over New York Rangers. Tonight, Hawks get the chance to make it three victories in a row when they take on Canadiens in Montreal. Bruins used their victory to climb into a first place tie with the idle Detroit Red Wings at 13 points. Leafs dropped a notch to third place, a point behind the pace set- ters, while Hawks moved to within two points of Rangers. Canadiens could force their way into a tie with Leafs by beating Hawks tonight. Hawks Deal Okay At least one thing seems clear-- Hawks appear to have benefited by the "five-for-two" trade in which they gave up Max Bentley and Rookie Cy Thomas for five players from Leafs. Addition of Roy Con- acher to their lineup also appears destined to bolster their chances of getting into the playoff fight after a dismal start in which they drop- ped seven straight games. All five players obtained by Hawks last week from Leafs per- formed ably last night against their although only de- fenceman Ernie Dickens broke into the scoring column. Dickens picked up Chicago's third goal in the se- cond period and also had an assist on another score. Conacher also lost no time in making good for his new ¢lub. The former Detroit ace who refused to come to-terms with Red Wings and then with Rangers when Detroit sought to trade him, whipped home. a goal In the second period. Johnny Gee was a bright star in the Hawk victory with two goals, one while Bill Ezinickt was in the penalty box. One other Chicago goal, that by Dickens, came while Leafs were shorthanded. Chicago's fifth and game-winning goal went to Alex Kaleta. Four Leaf Scorers Leafs actually didn't make the game as close as indicated by the score, since their fourth goal came only a few seconds from the end of the contest. Howie Meeker, Syl Apps, Harry Watson and Joe Klu- kay were Leaf scorers. Bruins and Rangers battled on | fairly even terms until an injury | gorced goalie Charlie Hayner out of | the game and a youthful substitute gave way to jitters that allowed Bruins to salt away the contest. Bruins rattled home six goals in the third period on 18-year-old Bob Decourcy, who played with New York Rovers in the Eastern United States Amateur League. Decourcey took over aféer Rayner was struck under the right eye,.by the. puck fired by defenceman Jack Crawford of Bruins in the second period. Bruins established what is felt to be some sort of scoring record when | thtey rammed in three goals on De- courcy in 57 seconds.

Coe, Edmonton, 2,351; Norman Beck- ett, Hamilton, 2,349; F. E, Little, Quill Lake, Sask., 2,346; and Bill Macnab, Calgary, 2,344, Three of the: above--Johnson, Apshkrum, and Macnab -- were members of last year's team. Boa, the. top scorer, showed his ver- satility in other phases of rifle shooting by winning the aggre- gate at the Ontario Rifle Associa- tion big bore meet, At the nation. al smal] bore tournament, he was a member of the famed Internat- ional Lord Dewar team and was one. of two members to fire per- fect scores--accomplished only once before in Canadian shooting history. Johnson, well known Bisley shot, also distinguished himself in this year's big bore matches by capturing the grand aggregate at the Alberta. Rifle Association meet. Beckett, although a compara- tive newcomer to the .22 sporting rifle game, is Canada's leading service rifle marksman. He won the Governor-General's. Match at Ottawa in 1939 and repeated his performance this year, A.H.L. HOCKEY CHIPS Hershey Bears and Pittsburgh Homets are today the toaste of the American Hockey League. Hershey is perched firmly at the top of the loop's eastern division, while the Hornets lead the league in the west --one point in front of Buffalo Bi- sons, Champions last season, the Bears continued their onslaught last night at Philadelphia, whipping the Rockets 5-1. Meanwhile Hornets ran their undefeated string to 12 at Pittssburgh last night but were forced to be content with a 2-2 tie with Cleveland. In the other fivture played last night, Springfield Indians climbed out of sole occupancy of the eastern cellar, whipping the hapless St. Louis Flyers 7-2. Johnny Pierson, frfesh from the Boston Bruin camp, and Clarence (Mark) Marquess notched two Her- shey goals each. .Their other goal was scored by Herbie Cain. Rockets lone tally went to Walter Hnatick. Rockets foréed Pittsburgh' to come from behind to earn the stalemate. Freddie Thurier and Roger Gagne bulged the . twine for Cleveland while Pete Backor and Syd Smith scored for Hornets. In the first 'period at St. Louis, Flyers had all the markings of a championship team. But they slip- ped in the second and third period to lose 7-2. Eddy Kobussen led Springfield with two goals while other Indians marksmen were Bill Gooden, Harry Frost, Riec Unger, Alan Kuntz and Bob Thorpe. John Shewchuck and Bill McComb scor- ed for Flyers.

Unhappiest incident of the tour to date came at Llanelly in Wales when C. J. Windon, vice-captain of the tourists, was ordered from the field by referee Ivor David follow- ing an injury to one of the local players. The Aussies protested the ruling and feeling ran high be- tween both teams for a short time but there was no further incident. After the game -- won by the visitors, 6-4 -- the teams dined to- gether in apparent amity but it | was reported the Aussies declined to attend a dance arranged in their | honor later that evening. | Not all critics think the tourists are over-rough. "I have seen them ! several times," wrote rugby expert | Charles. Bray -of-the-Daily Herald, "and I nave not the slightest hesi- tation in saying they are one of the fairest and cleanest teams I zed past in the opposite direction. The dogs were either well-trained or deficient in hunting instincts; they left the live hare alone and continued their chase of the clock- work quarry.
