THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1948 PAGE TEN in PORT NAPSHOTS comer Sd | The Generals are do¥n two games and the going is going to be mighty tough from here in, to tie the series in the next two games, Wednesday and Saturday nights on the local ice. Windsor Spitfires were definitely the better team on Saturday night. They outskated the Generals in a dazzling display of speed and back-chécking and the Gens _ lost their chances by failure to shoot the puck when in position, plus some very poor marksmanship, when they did decide to shoot--which wasn't often enough. Spitfires richly deserved their first win, for few BY of the Generals were on their game Saturday night. The Scholes-Chuck |. Blair-Gamble line hasn't done a thing in the past three games, in fact have been "off" for about three weeks now. They wer very ordinary on Saturday night and little better last night in the second game. Unless this trio_snaps back into action and shows a little scoring power and some zip on the attack, the Oshawa chore is going to be mighty tough. These boys are no doubt trying but theyre not skating fast enough and are not showing enough "fire" in their attack. They have made little if any contribution to Oshawa's attacking power and scoring success; In these two games, We hope they get going tomorrow night--pefore it's too late. L 3 *> LJ Last night's game was an entirely different story. The Generals were definitely unlucky to lose this one--for they were the better team last night. They got the worst of a series of very tough breaks and it all added up to a 7-6 victory for the Windsor Spitfires, to put them two games up in this crucial series. After Gerry Scott had got the first goal of the game, the "big one" that the Generals wanted, Johnny Wilson tied it up a few seconds later, from the face-off and he was three feet offside when he took the pass, inside the. Oshawa blue-line. The Generals had an edge all the way and when Erie Pogue scored in the third period, to put Oshawa in front 5.4, it looked to be all over. It was a pretty goal, on a sensational rush, by the speedball, who suffered a 4-stitch cut to his forehead in a high-sticking affair that went unglenalized (blood, falls for a 5. minute penalty too). Pogue came back to burn up the ice, after he had his stitching job. With less than three minutes left, Ray Olesk- suik cleared the puck with a shot inside his own area and the shot hit Pronovost in the chest, fell in front as he rushed in past Oleksuik. Brandow tried to skate backwards into position, took two strides and fell on his stern, and Uniac had nothing to do but take the pass and go right in on Piquette, unmolested, to tie the game up. It was a tough break for Brandow and it apparently bothered him for his play after that was unsteady and played some part in Windsor's 6th and 7th goals. * LJ * Windsor scored the first goal of the overtime, while Eric Pogle was serving a penalty. Pogue came back to lead the Generals with his fire and he took Ross Lowe's pass for the goal that tied it up again, 6-6, with about a minute-and-a-half left in the first overtime period (10 minuteS). When the teams returned to the ice for the 20-minute (sud- den-death goal finish) period, Oshawa had it all over Spitfires. The homesters were tired and faltering but Walmsley held them up with his saves and at least three of. the Generals missed a chance to fire the puck into an empty Windsor net, after Walmsley had gone to the ice during a scramble. Dusty Blair, Gamble, Chuck Blair, Scholes, Sulli- van, all had good chances and failed to click. Ray Cerisino played a whole of a game and he almost won it with a quick circle of the Windsor net but Walmsley got his skate to the puck just as it was going around the post, into the net. The goal that ended it came on only one of three times the Spitfires were threatening in the Oshawa end in the final overtime period. Ouelette fired a desperation shot from just inside the blue-line. and the puck missed the goal-post on Piquette"s left side, by inches, as he moved over to cover up. Jack Taylor sprinted in towards the goal, past Prandow and when the puck hit the backboards in a perfect carom, coming out just past the right goal-post, Taylor arrived in time to blackhand it Into the net, before Piquette could slide over to cover up--and the game was over. - * - LJ Pogue's brilliant skating and his daring attacks was the bright- est spot in Oshawa's play but the entire team was trying. Pogue's play, after he got hurt, was in the sensational class. He scored his goal in the third period while Sullivan was serving a penalty and it came on a fine solo rush. Gerry Scott scored two goals and was going great guns all night, Joe LaFrance missed the game with a knee injury and Ross Lowe took that spot. "Sandy" Air returned to the line-up and scored a nice goal and looked after his check nicely all night long. The way Air played, we'd still get Lowe back on defense .in place of Brandow, at least for one game. Cerisino is going great on left-wing, with his right-hand shot a real help after he cuts be- hind the defense. Sullivan came back to good form in the second game. The Generals are still very much in the running. They want to win -- and if they ALL want to win, badly enough, they can do it. As stated before, the No. 1 line has got to start carrying a little of the scoring mail. Spitfires are going great, they're a big team with a lot of speed, but they were extended to the limit last night and we still think the Generals can win these next two and tie up the series, * * a Most of the Generals and a few of the executive were guests of Tommy Ivan, Red Wing coach, on Sunday night, and saw Red Wings defeat Canadiens 4-3. Floyd Curry, Jim Conacher, Ted Lindsay and "Bep" Guidolin were the former Oshawa Generals in action Sunday night and it was good to ace them go again. Quite a few Oshawa fans took in Saturday's game and some stayed over for the Monday action. Last night's game was one of the fastest and best junior hockey games we've seen in the last four years. A lot of Detroit fans who hardly ever miss an N.HL. game, were literally "amazed" at the speed and skill displayed by the juniors last night. As one fan put it: "How long has this been going on; I'll pass up an N.HL., game any night to see these kids go again." of le ie * FUTURE GAMES--Ngo games are scheduled for tonight in the Junior "A" playoffs but on the morrow, four teams swing back into the limelight.

By G. H. C. In one of the fastest and most thrilling hockey games in years, Windsor Spitfires nosed out Osh- awa Generals 7-6 last night in Windsor, to take a two-game lead in their O.H.A. Junior "A" 4-out- of-7 playoff series, when Jack Tay- lor scored the winning "sudden- death" goal in the 10:48 mark of the second overtime period. Played at a dazzling pace from start to finish, the game was pack- ed full of thrills, fluke scoring plays and sensational hockey, with the Generals holding a slight edge throughout the contest, having a wide margin of play in the over- time period and still losing the de- cision on a series of tough breaks. Keen Tension Prevails The Generals scored the first goal of the game, the one they wanted badly, with Gerry Scott potting: Lowe's pass. Only 22 soe- onds later Johnny Wilson took Haidy's pass, about three feet off- side inside the Oshawa blue line and tied up the score. Gerry Scott GERRY SCOTT came back with another fine goal to put Oshawa in front again, about four minutes later. The Spitfires had the one-goal edge in the second stanza. Haidy fied it up with Uniac's help early in the period and then Remo Cere- sino came up with a pretty goal, on a .passing play with his line- mate Dusty Blair and defenseman Frank Sullivan, Wilson got this one back on a three-way play and only eight seconds later, Sandy "SANDY" AIR Air capitalized on a pass from Ceresino, to put Oshawa in front again. A half-minute later, Taylor | The Summary | First Period 1--Oshawa, Scott, (Lowe) .... 8.23 2--Windsor, J.

Pogue Sets the Pace Pogue, who was cut over the head with a high stick in the sec- ond period and had to miss most of the period while getting four stitches came back to lead the Generals in the third period. He put Oshawa in front while Sullivan was serving a penalty, stealing the puck from a Windsor attack and scoring with a sensational solo rush, . There were leés than three min- utes left when Oleksuik made a mistake of trying to shoot the puck clear and he hit' an onrushing Windsor player on the chest. He (Pronovost) came on to pick it up and swoop in on the lone Oshawa defenseman, Brandow. Brandow started to back-skate to cover up and fell on his pants. This left Uniac a clear path to the goal- mouth and he took the pass and went in to tie the game up, giving Piquette no chance. The Generals came back to hit the goal-post just before the per- fod epded. More Thrills in Overtime In the overtime period, the first 10-minute session, Doug. McKay took Hay's rebound and scored while Pogue was serving a penalty. That put the Spitfires in front, with only seven minutes and a few seconds left but with less than a minute-and-a-half to go, "Pogey" put the Generals back on even terms, with his second goal, on a ar ERIC POGUE pass from Lowe, fatsing 1s play in great style to beat Walmsley cold. In the second overtime, it was the Generals all the way, as far as territorial play was concerned. The Spitfires were hardly ever inside the Oshawa blue line but the Gen- erals just couldnt click. Three times they missed "open-nets" and | once Ceresino swooped around the net and almost sneaked the-puck in around the post, but Walmsley got his skate there in the nick of time. The Generals literally swarmed all over the weary Spitfires, who scored: a solo goal to tie up the for the most part, were barely,' hanging on. In another flurry, Dusty Blair and later brother Chuck, both missed with Walmsley flat on the ice. The Blow. That Killed . . .! The final tough break and deadly blow came at the 10:48 mark. Oulette, chased and in desperation, fired a long shot at the net. Pi- quette moved to cover his left cor- ner and the puck just missed the net. Jack Taylor sprinted in on JACK TAYLOR the other side, past Brandow, who was late in turning around and the puck, in freakish manner, caromed off the back-boards, right out to Taylor's stick, coming out just past the right goal-post. Before Pi- queite could slide over Taylor had backhanded the puck into the net and the game was over. Gerry Scott and Eric Pogue, with two goals apiece, were Oshawa's best, but Sandy Air, Ross Lowe, Ray Ceresino and Sullivan were also to the fore--with Pete Piquette starring in goal. Oshawa's No. 1 line of a couple of months ago couldn't seem to do much more than threaten, Johnny, Wilson, Uniac, goalie wr JOHNNY WILSON ° Walmsley, the defenseman Prono- vost and Quackenbush were all stars for Spitfires, but it was Jack Taylor with two goals, especially the "million-dollar" overtime tally, who was "chaired" by the wild-eyed Spitfires when the game was over.

The win left St. Catharines and Galt tiled at one game each in their best of three series. Stratford Kroehlers went down battling as they dropped their se- cond straight decision to Barrie Flyers. Barrie now meets the win- ner of the St. Catharines-Galt ser- feg for the right to go against the winners of the Windsor-Oshawa tilts for the league title. Kroehlers missed right-winger eorge Armstrong who was injured in\ the first period and did not re- t to the ice again, Officiating was strict as 21 penalties were lad- led out. The teams battled on scoreless terms until 14:25 of the second frame when Paul Meger put the Fyers into a one-goal lead. Then just a little more than a minute later Dinny Flanagan evened the count for Kroehlers. At 10:38 of the final, Frenchy Mayer slapped the winning Barrie marker home.
