Team Wins "School Meet" -- Big Meet Next Week-End -- Many Eligibles for Ski Queen's Crown With a crowd of more than 500 on hand to enjoy the skiing, the ¢ long awaited ski tow started, carry- ing hundreds of weary skiers up the hill After a little more than two weeks' work had been put on the tow, "Barney" Worden and "Jim" Milgate report- ed the job redy to operate and as early as last Sunday afternoon, a few lucky skiers were speeding up the hill with the support, of the tow. oe Situated on "Ben's Bumps", a large hill just north of the club house, the tow offers extra skiing and a great time saver to working men and women who have to cram a week's skiing into a week end. herring-bone ' g Old Country Soccer London, Jan. 17--(Reuters --Results of football games played in the United Kingdom today: ENGLISH LEAGUE 3 ML Divisle n Burnley 3, Liverpool 0.

It is really quite simple to use the, tow, so there is no reason for not taking advantage of the Osh- awa Ski Club's latest development. | When using the tow walk up be- side the rope and take a steadily in- ereasing grip on the rope at the same time leaning slightly back- ward. This will counteract the for- ward movement of your body, as the rope begins to pull you along. When some momentum has been obtained tighten your grip and hold on until the top of the hill is reached. There are various ways of carrying poles while using the ski tow, but the most popular seems to be under the left arm. Most people hold the rope with their right hand in front and lean on the left arm which has a grip on the rope behind their back. This gives plenty of support and | ayr tends to decrease t'.e possibility of slipping back. If you should lose balance and fall, let the rope gO and the tow will stop. Get off the tow track as quickly as possible, or ' gtand up and grip the rope again. * Everyone was of the opinion that Sunday was a red letter day for the jth a bright sun shining, fresh fluffy snow and a fun lov- ing bunch of friendly people, a per- son couldn't do better than to visit the club. Skiers are universally a friendly group of people, willing to laugh at each other's spills of the day, and hopes for the future, After isit, to the Oshawa Ski Club, we are certain you will think the members are very sociable, Hi Instructors Here "Cliff" Arnold and "Jack" Hull who are members of the Cedar Spring Ski Club of Hamilton, and Qualified C.A.S.A. instructors, paid a visit ot the Oshawa Ski Club yes- .terday to give a course of instruc- tion to members of the local club. "Dean" Patte, "Ben" Fallman, "Doug" Clark, "Jack" Kerr, Fre Fox, Bill Simons and Jack Tyson will be the boys to watch in the future, because they took part in this course.

To Hold Lead London, - Jan. 19--(Reuters)--A battle of giants, in British Associ- ation Football, ended inconclusive- ly Saturday when Arsenal, First Division leader, was held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester United, before nearly 82,000 spectators. Experts had predicted Arsenal might be outclassed by devastating United, which has gone 14 matches without defeat and has overrun a series of formidable opponents. Friends of Arsenal said today's result showed this team of veterans has more than luck to thank for League leadership. Arsenal's im- pregnable defence was the deciding factor against United's superior at- tacking play. Second- place Burnley retained its standing by defeating Liver- pool 3-0. Preston, standing third, edged Charlton Athletic 2-1. Derby County downed Everton 3-1 to take fourth position from Manchester United, who now are fifth, Birmingham City defeated Lu- ton 1-0 before 20,000 spectators to retain the second division leader- ship. Second-place Newcastle was handed a surprise 1-0 setback by lowly Brentford. Cardiff was beat- en 2-1 by Tottenham Hotspurs but the meet was outstanding and will be held again next year. Big Contest Next Week Interest is high for the Oshawa Ski Club's big invitation meet which will take place this next week end at Brimacome's Hill, 2 miles east of Kirby, The week end is getting under way with a big dance in the auditorium of the C.R.A. buildings. on Gibb Street next Saturday night. The snow queen for this season will be an- nounced, and we would like to warn all club members to turn your bal- lots in by January 20. "Queen's" Plentiful Contesting for this crown are three very eligible young ladies of the Oshawa Ski Club who not only improve the surroundings of the club with their presence, but who ts ' also do well on the hickory blades. CH... 3-00VI + PHHS. .... A Very Busy Day For this meet all contestants, of- ficials and spectators had to wal from Kirby to Brimacomes Hill because th snowplow had broken down and the road was blocked. Those contestants taking part in the cross couatry race had their 4 skiing for one day. The two- way trek from Kirby to Brima rome's Hill was bad enough, but the 6.7 mile cross country course was a "killer." "Jim" Harris, of the O.C.V.1. team had the best time with 42 minutes and 14 seconds. "Runt" Marsh. 0. 0.C.V.l,, came in We expect some close competition in this event between Gloria At- tersley, Leone Palmer and Ila Mc- Lachlan for snow queen of the 1947-48 season. _ There will be a lot of outsiders in Oshawa for the big weék end so everyone should enjoy themselves. Girls will find escorts at the dance so bring a pal and come along. Dancing will be to records of the latest pieces with novelty dances thrown in for interest. "Doug" Langmaid ;and his pro- gram 'committee are trying to make arrangements for the showing of movie films of last year's invita- tion meet at Brimacome's Hill which should be worth the small gate charges alone, not to mention the sandwiches, cake and coffee | which will. be served as. refresh- ments.

Leafs Increase Their NHL Lead As Wings Lose Toronto Maple Leafs and Mon- treal Canadiens were the only teams that gathered as much as three points out of a ossible four in a lively week-end that saw five National Hockey League games. As a result the Leafs jumped into the league lead, two points ahead of Detroit, while the Cana- diens vaulted over Boston to take the fourth and last play-off spot. Today's standings showed Leafs with 46 points in 36 games, Detroit 44,. New York 37, Montreal 34, Boston 33 and Chicago 22, On their own ice aturday the Leafs walloped Boston 4-1 and Canadiens trimmed Chicago 3-1. Then on Sunday Boston tied 2-2 at New York, Montreal tied 1-1 at Boston and the tail-end Hawks edged Detroit 5-4 right in the Motor City. ; With a match misconduct pen- alty to _sharpshooting Maurice (Rocket) Richard of the Canadiens, the Sunday game at Boston easily ment. The first period had gone 12 minutes when Referee Bill Chad- wick thumbed Richard for slashing Milt Schmidt. When Richard got to the box he slung his stick onto the ice. Then Richard broke loose from the restraining arms oO Murph Chamberlain, also a pri- soner,. and stepped on the ice. Referee Chadwick then ordered the Montreal ace out of action for the rest of the game and called a cop to escort him to the dressing room. Fined $50.00 Richard drew an automatic $50 fine while Chadwick prepares a re- rt for N.H.L¢ President Clarence dln whowill decide whether any further action is needed. a Sandford of Boston score the only goal of the first period when nine penalties were handed out including the three to Richard --a minor, 10-minute misconduct and match misconduct. Ken Mos- dell and Fern Flaman drew majors for a fight in the second period which ended with Mosdell on his back and the Boston defenceman tlubbing him with his gloved right hand. inger Jacques Locas took a face-off pass from Tom Campeau to score Montreal's tying goal be- fore the period ended and the third period was scoreless. Only casualty of that last frame was Referee Chadwick, felled forcibly when he collided with Ed Sandford, but the official was able to continue, The other tie game, at New York, was close and evenly fought all the way. Turk Broda in the To- ronto goal and Sugar Jim Henry in the Ranger nets each threw out 23 shots. Phil Watson grabbed his own rebound to score for the Rangers early in the second period but Teeter Kennedy tied it up and Max Bentley put Leafs ahead be- fore the frame ended. Five Penalties Ed Slowinski, utility player who had been used only sparingly by the Rangers, got the tying goal in the third period when he took a pass from Cal Gardner, who had missed an open nel onky a moment before, and scored, on Broda There were only five penalties in the New York game, all minors. took thé cake for all-round excite- | 2 eight, tied f | "Eotnts--o0 Climbing Back to Top of Hill Is Easier This Way Queens Park Rangers, Southern | Skiing at the Oshawa Ski Club quarters, Raglan, was stepped up to mode: inauguration of a ski-tow.

If a baseball, a runner and a fielder all reach first base at the same time in a ball game, any- thing that happens to anyone is the guy's own fault--that, roughly, is what was decided in a Virginia. court the other day when one ball player sued another for $15,000 for a broken leg received in a game be- tween the Dorset and Church Road teams of Richmond last summer. . . The first baseman who had covered the bag sued the base runner, who had tried to beat out an infield hit, contending the runner had spite- fully collided with him.
