oF H MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE THIRTEEN GENERALS TURN BACK KROEHLERS -- RED RAIDERS WIN Brilliant Defensive Checking Is Feature As Oshawa Juniors Hand Stratford A 5-2 Defeat "Boat" Harley's Fine Puck - Stopping Saves Kroehlers From Worse Licking--"Stu" Hend- ry Has Easy Time in Second Period--Hoop- er Shows Well As Play- maker -- Generals En- 'joy Big Edge Through- out Contest How one team can produce such good results one game after just the opposite occurence but a few nights before, is the burning ques- tion among Oshawa's hockey [an- dom after last Saturday night's ex- hibition at the Arena when the Generals defeated Stratford Kroeh- lers 5-2. Oshawa's "Gens" were so hot that at times, they were slow.mo- tioning the puck inside the enemy blueline. Another indication of the play last Saturday, was the fact that Hendry had absoluteiy- no saves to make in the middle frame and but a few more in the first and third periods. "Boat" Hurley, at the other end of the ice surface was faced with the proposition of keep- Ing out over 50 shots over the night's effort. Turnabout is Fairplay Yet up in Stratford a couple of fays before, the Generals looked lust as impotent as the Kroehlers iid here this weekend. What can change a team in that short time. Well in this case it was (A) a few well-chosen words of fatherly advice from one Tommy Anderson, (B) the cheering of the rometown Oshawa crowd, and (C) she . spectacular play of the line »f Frank Hooper, Dick Gamble and 'Monty" Montgomery. The latter threesome were the hustlers on the team, and their pieces of defensive backchecking and offensive push had the fans applauding whenever they appeared on the ice. Very Fast The locals started the game in whirlwind style trying to rush the Kroehlers right out the north end of the Arena. They almost com- pleted the fear but for Hurley in the Stratford twine. It wasn't seven minutes before these tactics paid.off however and the Oshawa warriors were ahead 1-0. Montgomery, the helmet- headed right-winger on the Hustle- Line slipped the puck past Hurley on a blazing high one after Hooper's backhand slap had been warded- off. \ Stratford were not long in eget- ting that one back, when the Osh- awa crew sat around patting them. selves on the back for the next few minutes. Pierre Cadieux the flasi- y skater for the "Strats" curled the toes of the blues' section fans as he sped past, took a relay pass from Candler and Katzman and pushed it past Hendry. Another M-G-H Goal 'The next time the Gamble, Hoop- er, Montgomery line got on, they showed their feelings about that goal. Hooper backchecked the puck onto Monty's stick. He flipped to Gamble, and the "downeaster" slammed home the rubber in his own famous style. Oshawa led 2-1 and the first period was half over. The sticks and bodies flew higher and higher as time went on, but both clubs seemed out to skate and though two minors were handed out things didn't crack till the sec- ond frame. 2 That Hustle_.Line was on again, and they made the score 3-1 when they scramblified the XKroehlers into their own end flipped the puck back to Thompson who shot hard and high .into the net. Things really roughened up and the next thing you knew, the gloves were on the ice. To the uniniciated, this means fistcuffs or to put it plainly, a brawl. Thompson and Leckie were the central figures, and they got the sentences. While these two were sitting it out Dusty Blair, that avid puck- hawk playing the line with Lou Jankowski and Bob Palmer, start- ed things moving. Jankowski was not on the ice at the time, to give Oshawa two forwards and two de- fence. Palmer and Blair combined neatly, on bumping and pushing to the defence the other getting the puck and slipping it behind the goalie. Two more 'minor penalties and the second frame was over. Osh- awa held a distinct edge up until this time, but in the third, Strat- ford was finally able to match them somewhat. A Slap-Stick Artist Ted O'Connor, after acting as set-up man for quite a few goal at- tempts, finally found someone in- terested in making passes at him. McMinn swiped at him with his stick held like the double-edged sword of yore. went 'O'Connor's gloves, and the fight was one. A very short one though for the local boy has a knack shall we say. Two penalties settled the issue, the "laughable part being the high- ¥ sticking tag being put on O'Connor's retaliation moves. they were off, Blair and Palmer were again used as penalty killers, and again came through with a combined goal, Blair noteh- ing this one with Palmer's help. That made the score 5-1. Stratford came the closed of the night to matching Oshawa's speed, and they slipped in their second goal, O'Hearn taking Dinny Flan. agan's pass to complete a nice three-way pass, to. make tbe final The Summary First Period 1--Oshawa, Montgomery . 6:46 2--S8tratf Cadieux (Candler, "2 3 OR ov ve.

Marlboros went down to their third straight defeat, 5-3, as Guelph Biltmores nipped them for the second time in two days, and St. Michael's Majors gained a 2-2 deadlock with St. Catharines Teepees, to end a two- game losing string. . St. Michael's showed potentia strength all the way down the line with a youthful bunch of puck- luggers, and they're worth a wager in the Memorial Cup future book for the next year or two.

Stratford Jrs. Get Lewicki Out for Month Toronto, Oct. 26 -- Stratford Kroehlers purchased the transfer of Danny Lewicki from Fort Wil- liam Columbus Club Saturday. The 17-year-old speedster will line up with Stratford's OHA Junior A en- try, but probably not for another month, Injured when a skate gashed his instep at the Maple Leafs' training camp, Lewicki's foot is still' in a cast and will be for another week. "It'll be a month before he can play," said Dave Pinkney, last night. "We won't take any chances. We want his foot to be perfect." There was no mention of the amount paid, but Marlboros seek- ing to buy Lewicki"s transfer, had refused to pay a $3,800 asking price. Possibility that Stratford got Le- wicki under that figure is seen in the fact that Leo Barbini, who coached the Fort Willlam team last season, is coaching Pinkney's Strat. ford entry. this year. Another angle to the Lewicki deal is that it may lead to Stratford releasing George Armstrong to Marlboro juniors. > "Something may develop," Pink- Jey agreed, "but I can't say what is." It may be- that Stratford will want Marlboros to pay for Arm- strong's release, to cut down the expense Kroehlers incurred in get ting Lewicki. ' Ed Romano, President of Colum- bus Club, announced Lewicki's re- lease Saturday, Lewicki figured in a bidding battle between Stratford of the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "A" league, and Direcior Conn Smythe, of Toronto Maple Leafs. Smythe wanted Lewicki to play with Toronto Junior Marlboros. Le- wicki wanted to play with Strat- ford, Romano said. Smythe paid 3 Providence Reds, of the American Hockey League, more than $10,000 for the winger, now at Stratford. At Stratford, J. H. Wyatt, Presi. dent of the Stratford Club, con- firmed the transfer. He said the club has been assured no difficulty will be experienced in obtaining Le- wicki's transfer from the Thunder Bay Hockey Association. Junior O.R.F.U. To Open Playoffs Sat.

In Group 2 the Doorbusters topped the Primers for 3 points to stay on top but the Skinner -entry moved much closer by shutting out the Inspection and with Robson Leather also sneaking a wee bit closer by trimming the Tire- men, we now have the pressure on the Doormen. Duplate did a good job when they snatched 3 points from Trim Line. Osh- awa Rly, also surprised when they blanked the Shippers.

Anyway, Dink (Montreal Gazette) | Carroll mulled it all over and: (1) Guessed Generalissimo Smythe decided to capitalize on the publicity value of the offer, figur- ing Apvs wouldn't accept; (2) Wondered "what manner of coins Conn is dropping into the tin cups of the rest of the Leafs, if he can say $20,000 without gagging." Dink recalls Frank Selke's oft- made statement that Montreal Canadiens have tlie largest payroil in the National Hockey League by $20,000. What's more, the Mont- real Forum has the smallest seat- ing capacity of any areng or rink in the circuit. Dink has been told no player on Canadiens' club is getting less than $7,000 this year--and there were no reductions in salaries--while some stood to make close to $15,000 if the team should win the N.H.L. cham- pionship and the Stanley Cup. Dink figures the highest-paid Leafs are Turk Broda, Max Bent- ley and Ted Kennedy, "If these fellows are getting big chunks, then there must be quite a few Leafs in the smaller income brackets. That stands to reason, if the Toronto payroll is less than Canadiens'." White Sox Boss Passes On At 57 Chicago, Oct, 25-- (AP) -- Harry Grabiner, who rose from peanut vendor to vice-president of Chica- go White Sox, died in a coma Sun- day 48 hours after undergoing an operation for brain tumor. Grabiner was with the Comisky Club 41 years before resigning in 1945. In 1946 he became associated with Bill Veeck as vice-president of Cleveland Indians. Although only 57, Grabiner was third only to Connie Mack of Phil- adelphia Athletics and Clark Grif- fith of Washington Senators in years of American League service. His first introduction to the Com- iskey family came on a Sunday morning in 1904. He served as usher, vendor, ticket seller and grandstand sweeper before peing appointed as- sistant secretary of the Comiskey Organization at the age of 15. He be- came secretary in 1915 when Char- ley Fredericks died, By the time New York Giants and the White Sox met in the 1917 World Series, Grabiner was general man- ager and vice-president, positions he held for 28 years. Among those at his bedside when he died were his daugtiter, Mrs. Fred Friedlobs of Chicago, formerly mo- vie star June Travis of Hollywood. West Indies Held To Draw by State Baroda, India, Oct. 25-- (Reuters) --The West Indies touring team was held to a draw by the Indian State's XI today, in their three- day cricket, match. Declaring their second innings closed at 183 for three, the West Indies left the State's side just over three hours in which to get 247 for victory, They scored 164 for five. The final score was West Indies 206 and 183 for three (declared); Indian State 143 and 164 for five. Oshawa's Inter. 0.R.F.U. Squad Closes Schedule With 26-5 Win Jimmie Sakell Scores two Touchdowns While Guy Morey and Arn Greene Get One Apiece -- Charlie March's Trusty Boot Accounts For Six Points--Visitors Avoid Shutout With Major Score in Final Quarter ---Red Raiders Miss Playoff Spot In what turned out to be their last game of the season, the Osha- wa Red Raider Intermediates went all out in racking up a 26-5 win over the Oakville club. Oshawa never looked better this season, and the game itself with both teams playing very good ball was one of the best from a specta- tor standpoint. Jimmy Sakell came through with a brilliant showing, scoring two touchdowns, one after a 55-yard run down the middle of the field. Charlie March booted six points, three converts and a field goal. 4 Play Heads-Up Ball In fact, the whole team was play- ing heads.up ball and had they played that way against Peterbor- ough earlier in the season, they would now have been in the play- offs rather than sitting in third place, one game out of the coveted play-off spot held down by the Pete's. Oshawa's mathematical chance of making the play-off over the Petes was blown sky-high when the Petes came through with a good win over the league-leading Orillia Bombers. Had they lost and scored no more than 17 points in doing so, Oshawa would have been "in." The firet quarter saw no scoring, ten-yard '"goal-to.go" area of Oak- ville and had only a fumble to blame their not getting a major. Morey Scores First In the second quarter, a blocked kick .and Dyson Brooks' neat re- covery for Oshawa left the push for the major that meant a my Loreno, a junior up for his first game, reeled off a first down. Fred was in the set-up position. Morey got the call, and the sifty back hit the line for the points. was 5-0. Loreno made a nice runback of the Raiders were away on another long drive. Elmer Gilbert drove for 10, Loreno and Fairhart added theirs and then Brooks went wide on his now famous reverse for a for the buck after two tries at get- ting the major. He hit the left side of the line and went over. March 11-0 at the half. Sakell's "TD" Run hit Jimmy Sakell, another junior, ten yards, but Sakell unwound his hips, curled past the secondary, the tertiary and finally the safety man and we had a 55.yard touchdown the convert and the count was 16-0 for the second half. Brodie made a 25-yard runback on another kick and the boys were away again. Brooks hit wide on his reverse. Sakell and Dobson worked another pass for another big gain. Charlie March then had his big moment. He leaned back, lifted his boot and the ball whirled cleanly through the uprights for a very good field goal. Oshawa now lead 20-0. Oshawa really took to the air af- ter tha, Dobson flicking them out to Sakell and Loreno with clock- work regularity to bring the Raid- ers within scoring yardage again. The third quarter ended, but the passing continued. Dobson caught Sakell twice in a row, the second allowing the little guy to clear the goal line fo®*his second touchdown and the score of 26-0 after March's convert. Sleeper Backfires With time running rapidly out, Oshawa tried a sleeper pass. It was discovered and the idea placed in the Oakville quarter's mind, after being successfully hlocked. He used it the next time they gained pos- session, whipping the ball to With- nell for a touchdown. He, the quar- terback, was named Patterson. That made the score 26-3, with the block- ed conversion. Bury, a rugged Oakville player received a bruised rib or two on the conversion, and was taken to the hospital when the game ended seconds later.

He also is a mechanical engineering student who didn't show much interest in turning pro . . . It took Ranger publicitor Stan Saplin to cook up the clinching argument . . .
