THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1948 Prelude To Notre Dame Touchdown Sah LT Emil Sitko, of Notre Dame (14), is shaking off a Navy tackler as he made a 53-yard run in the first quarter of the game against the Middies at Babe Ruth Stadium in Baltimore, Md. He was finally dropped on the Navy's three-yard line. He rang up a tally for.the "Irish" on the next play. Notre Dame whipped Navy 41-7, .--Centra] Press Canadian PORT BY Geo. H. Campbell Galt' Rockets visit the Oshawa Generals tonight and Oshawa Arena shold again be a busy place. ' 'Alfie Moore's Galt Rockets haven't been setting the OHA Junior "A" league afire exactly but they're a lot better than their recent results might suggest. And they're very annoyed! Rockets dropped their last two games to the Guelph Biltmores and that is a mighty sore touch to the Rockets. There is little love lost between the Galt and Guelph teams at any time, with the keenest rivalry always prevailing but those last two Guelph victories pushed the Rockets down into the second division and they're mad about that. They're coming to Oshawa tonight determined to upset a couple of dope carts and all the Generals in site. 'Back a couple of years ago, we recall the Galt team coming to Oshawa ohé Saturday night and handing the Generals a surprise defeat that later on proved costly--it kept Oshawa one notch lower in the final standing. Tonight's game between Galt and the Generals should be a lively affair too for the Galt Rockets are a peppery team this season--and are not a bit shy about meeting the penalty timekeeper. 3 * » * Two Junior "A" games were played last night, with the two OHA league-leaders boosting their margin over the rest of the pack. Playing at home, St. Catharines Tee Pees chalked wp a win over Toronto Marlboros but we note that it was close enough, with Tee Pees coming from behind after Marlies 'had taken a 3-2 lead early in the third period. It looks as if the Dukes are starting to click and that game here Wednesday night should be an interesting tussle. In the other game last night, Wind itfires: ti d their un- defeated string, wi a 314d right in Barrie. That is something! Frankly, we thought the Flyers would prove good enough to hand the Spitfires their first defeat of the season but apparently they didn't have enough to stop the high-flying Spitfires. The win boosts Windsor's second-place lead over the rest of the field but the Generals will get their chance to catch up a little, tonight. Spit- fires, only undefeated team in the junior race mow, are three points | behind St. Kitts but the Tee Pees have played three more games | than Windsor, ted * » * Hamilton Tigers blanked Balmy Beach Indians 8-0 last night in the first game of their ORFU finals and thus set the stage for the second game at Hamilton. In the Big Four loop, the two important games are on tap today, with Hamilton Wildcats faced with the joo of defeating Alouettes in order that Argos can catch a playoff berth, but at the same time, Argos still have to defeat Ottawa Rough Riders today, a trick that may not prove too tough, since the game means very little to Ottawa. - ! * oe * Here at home, the OCVI Juniors are playing Peterboro Juniors this afternoon in the first game of their home-and-home, total points series, and after that, Alexandra Park will be further chewed up as the two Junior "B" clubs, St. Aidan's of Toronto and the Oshawa Red Raiders, settle their series. The local lads have a 6-0 lead and should survive this round today, unless they lose Jimmie Loreno and'a couple of other aces early in the fray, ~ L 4 * SPORTS SHORTS--Varsity will be going out to defeat Queen's this Saturday, to try and make up for the humiliating loss that they sus- tained at the hands of the Gaels early in-the season .. .

Then there was the horse | who smoked a pipe and his trainer | wondered if it would win more if | he allowed it to smoke during races. | And there's Lord Allendale's Wood- | burn; but that is a success story. | Australian Edgar Britt, 34, rode | the race of his life on Woodburn | to snatch the Cesarewitch by a| neck. This is how he foxed the | horse: "Woodburn," said Britt, "is a horse you have to know. He thinks that racing is just a game and if he goes to the front he's apt to wait for another horse to come and race with him. He is a horse who likes company. + + + "I was about half-way up the hill, just ahead of the others, when | he pulled up and looked round-- | waiting for them. The horse on the inside took the lead again. | "Now, if T had sat down and rid- den Woodburn hard, he wouldn't have responded because he is a horse withp his own ideas. So I did the opposite and gave him his head. It was a risk, but it worked. "Just for the last 20 yards I rode him hard. The whole art of riding Woodburn is to win by more than a length, because if you go ahead too soon he pulls up and waits for the rest. It isn't easy, because he won't always co-operate. At Beverley he won, but ran off the gourse and was nearly disquali- fied. When I last rode him at New- market, he lost through stopping to play. I think I've got him sized up." Britt, fair-haired, snub-nosed, quiet-spoken, has been riding in Britain for three seasons. In that time he as acquired a nickname-- "Brity"--from the race crowds, and withdt a popularity second only to Gordon Richards. .
