"PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, Y Geo. H. Campbell PORT NAPSHOTS So, Markham Millionaires won a 2-1 decision over Crowland at the new Welland Arena, last night, with Bob Bangay banging in the winning goal for a 2-1 decision, just three minutes before the third period ended. This gives Markham an edge in this important series, which is the O.H.A. Intermediate "A" semi-finals. No doubt a flock of Oshawa puck fans will be on hand tomorrow night to see the Markham team in action against Crowland, who have for a month now been regarded as Mark- ham's toughest hurdle in the march to an O.H.A. championship. "On Friday night, there's a Junior "C" O.H.A, playoff game at the Oshawa Arena, with Aurora meeting Gananoque here. This will be one of those games where the crowd is made up of two visiting delegations but no doubt, it will be lively. * + We see that Avery Brundage is back in the Olympic Games sports news again, with the statement that ice hockey will be eli. minated from future Olympics. We may be wrong, Avery old man, but it wonldn't surprise us very much to see Canada pass up the winter "games" altogether, As a matter of fact, the Olympic big- wigs certainly aren't protecting Canada's sports prestige. They ousted lacrosse from their summer program, not so long ago, and now if they take. out hockey, they'll have eliminated Canada's two "na- tional games." Okay--if Canada's "national game" (either hockey or lacrosse) is not included in an Olympic Games program, why should Canada even bother sending a team? The expense of sending to c te in petitions where they'll be badly outclassed, is too great and public opinion should turn down the Olympic Games idea, thet . * > J] With word out of Hamilton that the Tigers are re-consitiering their decision to withdraw from the "Big Four," the news that the Hamilton Wildcats will definitely join the big grid family at a meetifig tonight, will make it look as if somebody tried a bluff that not only didn't work but back-fired with a very loud bang. * * * !

The J.AHA., finalists, Montreal Royals and Montreal Nationales, are slated to meet in the fifth and deciding game #& their series the same night, Thursday. Choquette said that President Alphonse Therien of the JA HA: had been notified twice that his league would have to declare a 'Winner before March 25.

Detroit, March 23-- (AP)--Detroit Red Wings' hopes in the Stanley Cup playoffs depend on how well they shake out of a late.season slump when they open the semi- final series against New York Rangers tomorrow night. The Wings did an abrupt about. face after leading the National Hockey League much of the season, winning only one and tying three of their last eight games. Seeking corrections, Coach Tom Ivan, who piloted the Wings to the runner-up spot in his first N.H.L. season, has called up an array of reserves from the minors. Injec- tion of new players may be enough to snap the regulars back into form. No change is planned for the prized Abel line of Capt. Sid Abel- Ted Lindsay-Gordon Howe, top line in the loop. This combinaticn scor- ed 63 goals this season, Lindsay counting 33 to head N.H.L. goal scorers, Howe 16 and Abel 14. Lind. say also led the team with 52 points. Only the centre spots are set on | the two other lines. Jim McFad- | den, who collected 48 points and is | regarded as the year's best rookie, | will pivot one, and Don Morrison, another first.yearman, will centre | the other. | Right wings now available are | Pete Horeck, Fern Gauthier and | Rod Morrison, and the left wings | are Jim Conacher, Enio Selisizzi, | Bep Guidolin and Nelson Podolsky. Fiery Marty Pavelich, who plays any forward position, will see con- siderable action somewhere, while Pat Lunday is the extra centre. Jack Stewart and Bill Quacken. bush top the club's defence corps, but the latter still is on the doubt- ful list with a hand injury. The big problem is Lumley, who faded in the stretch in the goalie duel with Toronto's Walter (Turk) Broda for the Vezina Trophy. The team relies heavily on Lumley re. | gaining the form which brought him seven shutouts, tops among the league's netminders. KITCHENER CURLERS WIN ANNUAL EVENT OSHAWA RINKS LOSE OUT IN INTER-CLUB Wiping out a 10-shot deficit suf- fered in Oshawa on March 10, Kitchener Granite Club curlers yes- terday won the General Motors Trophy in the return match of the annual inter-club competition with the Motor City Curling Club by a total of seven shots. On 'the day's play Kitchener won by 17 shots, amassing a total of 90 shots in 10 games to 73 for the visitors. Lead Not Big Enough On Oshawa ice the Motor City curlers turned back Kitchener 88 to 78. Ten nine-end games were played yesterday, with the home club win. ning-six and losing four. The B. C. Hall-skipped quarter counted the biggest. victory for Kitchener, de- feating .W. Brownlee 13-4. P, Eve- leigh of Oshawa registered the big- gest gain for the visitors, turning back "Gamey" Lederman 11-4. Forty-two Oshawa curlers made the trip by special bus. The visitors were guests of Art Diesbourg and "Gamey" Lederman of the Blue Top Brewing Co. at lunch and for the evening dinner Bert Hopton, Jack Lucas and Jim Walker of the Do- minion Tire Co. were hosts. "Bert" Hopton filled the duties of chairman in capable fashion for the dinner session, which climaxed the day's activities. Speeches Were Brief Among those who were called upon and responded, each with a brief, to-the-point address, were Jack Laing, President of the Kitch- ener-Waterloo Club and Art Geis~ berg, another Kitchener official, as well as Fred Gregor, who verified Bert Hopton's welcome speech and expressed the hope that this inter- club event would be maintained for many years. Ernie Parsons, one of the original organizers of the event, Percy Ev- eleigh, President of the Oshawa Curling Club and Wm. Casnwith, General Motors executive, who headed the Oshawa party, and Mayor Frank McCallum of Osha- wa, were all given 'the opportunity to say a few words and in each case, keen appreciation for the out- standing hospitality extended by the Kitchener-Waterloo hosts was expressed.

Goalie Ebbie Bishop, who played brilliantly for Crowland had stop- ped a shot in a scramble, but Ban- gay smacked the puck into the cage before the netminder could clear. Bob Milencoff, Crowland left winger, was serving a holding pen- alty when Markham broke the 1-1 deadlock that had existed from near the end of the second period. Second game in the best-of-three series will be played at Oshawa on Thursday. If a third contest is needed it will be played at Oshawa on Saturday, Markham having won the toss.

Hie 1 3-Man Committee May Be Called to Decide On Taylor Sydney, N.S, March 24 -- (CP) --A special' three-man committee | of the Canadian Amateur Hockey | Association, the National Hockey League and one independent mem- ber, will probably be called on "very soon" to decide whether Billy Taylor, expelled N.H.L. player, may play amateur hockey in Canada, it was learned here today. Hanson Dowell, past president of the C.AH.A, said the Committee will probably be appointed "very soon" to decide Taylor's hockey fate should he decide to join Cana- dian Amateur ranks. ". .. We have a working agree- ment with the NHL. We respect their rulings, But in such a case .. ..a committee of three will make a decisipn," Dowell said. Taylor, a New York Rangers player, was recently expelled for life from professional hockey by a President Clarence Camp- A precedent which might have some bearnig on Taylor's case was said to be the barring of Frank Filchock from United States pro football for similar reasons. Fil- chock played next season for Ham- ilton Tigers of the Canadian "Big Four" League. President Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League said that "As far as the N.HL. is ¢on- cerned, there is no foundation what. ever" to the statement attributed to 'Dowell. Campbell, now in Detroit for the Stanley Cup Series, issued his brief comment through the N. H.L. offices in Montreal.
