M v*Al33VS Od IW PAGE FOURTEEN THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1948 | ISAT = @ Last night was a quiet one locally on the sports scene, but up in Guelph, the Generals made plenty of noise in overcoming the fourth- place Biltmores by the score of 5-1. The Guelphites had it all figured that if they won that ong, and the next one here in Oshawa tonight, they would be in third place. But Stu Hendry and big Dick Gamble (known as the down-east groaner) had other ideas. Stu held off the Hatters' rushes with a little more than the usual skill, while up front Gamble led the "hustle line" through its paces. Those paces included four of Oshawa"s goals. Dick got three of those and assisted on Hooper's. Keith Montgomery did the first passing chore on of them, Dusty Blair came through with an unassisted single in the second period and that was the game. J : : * * * Frank Sullivan played in the game last night, but Lou Jankowski is still sitting it out. Sully will be a big help in that defence depart- ment, which has lacked a little stability at times. Ward Brandow, last year with the: Generals, has been put out of action by a bad ankle and missed that game up in "Emmsville" last night when the Flyers downed St. Mike's 6-3. Jimmie Naylor, a hot stuff player over in Scotland last year, who turned out with the Generals in the Jearly part of the season was given a chance with the St. Catharines Tee Pees in their last home game against Stratford, Jim Burnett, another Scottish loop player last season, who turned out with the Junior "A" club this season, is doing his patrolling of the ice lanes with UAWA of the "Merk" league. WR a Le * That "look" disappeared from the regular members of the standee section at the Oshawa Arena, with the announcement that Frank Squires will take on the job of broadcasting the home games of the Generals for United Taxi again this year. That look, consisted of combination fish-eyed gurgle and a sardine's grunt when well packaged. Those standees expect that some of the overflow crowd at the Arena will now stay home and listen to the game over CKDO at 9:05 Saturday evening, That is a-tactical exror men. Figures last season showed that when the "hockey. broadcdsts "started, "the attendances at the Arena grew even greater. But have no fear, fellows, Tumors of a new feature at the HamWbly ite Palace are going the rounds. A booth that rents man-size whalebone girdles. You now can watch. the game in one-tenth your original size, | * » * The OCVI junior football club hung up its cleats the other night after being defeated in the second game of a two-game total points series 14-0, losing the round by a score of 30-6. The Peterbore juniors will now play Welland. If they survive that round they will move against the eastern group winners in the semi-finals, and then against Niagara Falls in the Cossa finals. The local gridders were a topnotch club, but just didn't have that extra punch in the play- offs that could have meant the chance to go on the title hunt. The OCVI team, and its coach Jim Carson can be proud of the great season they battled through, winning all but one game during the regular schedule. That game, in TCS, was a 26-23 loss, and was wiped out by a return game in Oshawa when the Red, Green and Gold kids won by the count of 39-0. That is what Is known as im- provement. We hope to see even betier things next season. * +* + SPORT SHORTS--Regina Tisdall, well-known local hockey player, will line up with Peoples of the T.H.L. loop this season.

There will be two Dominion finals this year, the juniors getting offi- cial word Friday night that for the first time since 1933 three series is definitely on. In the East, the Montreal-Ottawa contest amounts to a sudden-death clash for the Big Four title, The Alouettes picked up a two-point working margin with their 21-19 " victory in the first game at Mon- treal Thursday but the betting pub- lic still installed Rough Riders 9-5 favorites to sweep the total-points series in the return game.

The Winner draws a berth into the Eastern Canada final. : The other Eastern finalist may be decided at Hamilton meantime. Frank Fllchock's Tigers defeated Toronto Beaches Indians, 8-0, in the first game of the best-of-three series for the Ontario Union title. They can end it all with a victory today. If Beaches Indians win, it will be decided by a third game in Hamilton Wednesday night. Westerners Watch The Western champions mean- time can settle back and watch these shenanigans. Stampeders copped the West's crown Thursday by beating Saskatchewan Rough- riders and are waiting for the East- West final in Toronto's Varsity Sta- dium Nov. 27. While that date was decided at the Canadian Rugby Union's annual | SUDDEN.DEATH STAGE REACHED IN MAJOR GRID CLASHES TODAY meeting last winter, the time and place; of the Eastern final is still indefinite.

DENT HODGSON 57h Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Nov. 13--(OP)--Chips are down today for the Big, Four football championship stakes, and although Montreal Alouettes have a two-point edge on Ottawa Rough Riders, there was a surprising shortage of Montréal money in the Capital up to game-time. : Notwithstanding this local confi- dence, Coach Willy Masters was calling no cards before the tilt. Manager Jimmy McCaffery sum- med up the Ottawa sentiment in these words: "We're lucky to be only two points down after Thursday's game. If we play the way we did then, and Montreal plays the way they did then, I think theyll win. And they'll deserve to." Already McCaffrey has asked that if Ottawa wins, the Eastern Canada Senior football fihal be played in Ottawa. However, he'll settle for Toronto "if necessary." Riders will play at nearly full strength, with centre Don Loney a @oubtful startér because of a sore foot and Bob Paffrdth still some- what handicipped by a bad hand. But in all likelihood only Bert Haigh, star left outside wing, will be sitting on the bench. Haigh came out of the Montreal battle with a swollen right ankle. He will be re- placed by Doug Smylie, who missed the game ih Montreal for the same reason. Meanwhile the Ottawa club brac- ed itself for the crushing plunges of Bronco Reese and the speedy, powerful backfield play of Joey Pal and Bob Cunningham.

Senior Marlies Garner a Tie With Hamilton By The Canadian Press The season's cellar-dwellers, To- ronto Marlberos, didn't pull out of that position Friday night--but at least they have company. The youthful Toronto squad bat- tled to a 1-1 overtime tie with the léague-leading Hamilton Tigers, to garner one point--enough to catch up to Stratford Indians with nine. In another Senior Ontario Hockey Association game last night, Kit- chener-Waterloo Flying Dutchmen trounced the second-place Owen Sound Mercurys 7-2. Marlboros opened the scoring in their game against Tigers, in the first period when Billy Johnson blasted a close-in shot past Art Childs. Two minutes later Johnny Conick got the equalizer on a pass from Dillon Brady. Kitchener, led by Ted Grasser with three goals, had little trouble disposing of Owen Sound. Grasser got his first goal when thé game was only a minute old and a penalty of Bummer Doran minutes later cost Owen Sound three goals--Doug Verity, Trent Anderson and Harvey Hacklin scor- ing for the Dutchmen. Art Hurst of Kitchener and Pat McReavy of Owen Sound each countéd once in the second frame. QGrasser netted his two other mark- ers in the last period while Bruno Favero clicked for Owen Sound. Kitchener clashes with Owen Sound tonight in the only senior game scheduled for the week-end. In the junior loop, Stratford Kroeh- lers meet Marlboros, Guelph meets Oshawa and Windsor Spitfires play St. Catharines Tee Pees. Gavilan Pummels Pellone In Hope Of Shot At Sugar New York, Nov. 13 -- (AP) --Kid Gavilan, flashy Cuban boxer, will leave for Havana in a day or two with the hope that upon his return terwéight champion Ray Robinson in a title bout. ' Gavilan, who won a decisive, unanimous 10-round decision over tough Tony Pellone of New York in Madison Square Garden Friday night, is anxious to meet the sugar man for the 147-pound crown. The Cuban kid lost a non-title fight to Robinson in Yankee Sta- dium last September. Robinson weighed 150 for that scrap, and Gavilan's handlers, as well as the kid himself, believe the Cuban can lift the title at the division weight. Pellone, scaling 146%, made Fri- day night's scrap interesting in the first three and last four rounds. He was slowed up, however, in the fourth by Gavilan, and blew that, the fifth and sixth which just about cost him the fight as he ap- peared tired. He got his pep back in thé seventh but it was too late, Gavilan weighed 147. . The crowd of 9,408 paid a gross Road Race will be held Nov. 25. of $29,629.

It proved so practi- cal that Peden decided to build a | bigger one for the pro six-day rid- | ers. The big redhead, and Schel- | . | straete, a Belgian-Canadian, work- ed for months on the project. | It was installed in Buffalo for | 4 last ménth's international six-day | race and proved so successful that | the oval was shipped to Chicago for | last week's race and then here, | where another "whirl to nowhere" opens Sunday night. | The new track is made of steel | and masonite--a porous material | providing a strong surface for the | hikes--and is constructed in sections so that it can easily be transported by truck. The oval cost $30,000 but the saving, Pepen says, is in being able to use it for years where the old wooden tracks had to be ripped down after a race was over. Cost Was High In the pre-war days it cost six- day promoters anywhere from $4,000 | up to build a wooden track. Today the cost has almost doubled, mak- | ing it virtually impossible for a pro- moter to run a race on a paying basis. | "I found it impossible to compete | with the best in the world and be half in shape," Peden said Friday in an interview. "I didn't want to give up the portable track idea be- cause I think it will prove a boon to six-day bike racing. So I decided | to get off the bikes for good."
