The 'win left the * 'Generals in third. Guelph having beaten the Stratford Kroehlers by quite a margin, a bitter pill to Chick Appel, now move into a two-way tie with Barrie for fourth place, four points behind the idle Oshawa club. Friday night, the dish is distinctly warm, Oshawa goes to Barrie to try and extract a win from the Flyers on their honte ice. Something which they failed to accomplish earlier in the season, losing a 7-6 count to the "Emmsmen." Windsor visits St. Catharines . and a win for the Garden City boys wculd more than please the : Generals, who would then have a second place tie again. Marlies rlay at Guelph and Gait is at Stratford in the other junior games Friday night. oe 2 Ld LS G.M. "we-take-em-a" Parts play the league-leading Pitts' Electri- cutioners in the opening game of the "MERK"" doubleheader tonight at the Oshawa Arena. Union bumps into the Cabhies in the nightcap, and that game should be a wow, what with the Cabbies placing "Rube" 'Waddell in their twine, to give a little stronger backing to their fast and fightin', forwards. They will be without Wes Keeler however, and this will sort of even things up. Parts and Pitts', two of the fastest teams in the league, will really put on g battle. Reason: If Parts win, they will move into a first-place tie with the Electricians. After last week's improved showing, the clubs having put a little more condition under their belts, the games tonight "should constitute open warfare. L L Basketball gets its debut in Oshawa tonight, when last minute arrangements settled a game between the OCVI Senior club and the Ajax University quintet. This is the first fixture of the season for the cage nuts, and although there will be many more before the spring arrives, all the faithful will be out in large numbers. The admission is free, and that fact alone should bring out that many more persons « .. even yours truly. Game time is 6:00 p.m. tonight at the Col- legiate gym, and the tilt will be a showing of good hoopla. Rumors are rampant about the OCVI Grads cage team, and things look definitely bright for the group. Latest word out of the camp of the Grads, is that the second official meeting of.the season will be held this coming Tuesday night. Place as yet undecided, but it will be announced soon. Some of the boys are already getting their condi- tion and shooting "eye," throwing ping-pong balls into their office waste baskets, Tch! Tch! oo» o> The Oshawa Curling Club has made official announcement through its president, Maurice Hart, that they will hold their opening Ceremonies on Friday evening at the club, about 7:30 p.m. All interested new curlers are invited to turn out, and of course, all the old members are expected to be their to throw the welcome mat around. The meeting will take the form of an Open House. The freezing plant at the cl:b, having had its teeth pulled every day, due to the hydro cut-offs has finally managed to catch up with its job, and the ice is evidently in pretty good shape. Ld + + SPORTS SHORTS--The City of Oshawa may yet see some more rugby, according to reports out of St. Catharines. In past seasons, the Cossa finals have been played on the Varsity back campus and the boys have gotten used to it. Next season, 'tis said, the games will be alter- nated, and since Oshawa is the most central point, it seems likely that we will get the nod. At present this year's finals are set for Peterboro, but Port Colborne and the Petes are a long way apart, and the inter- mediate point might be suitable to save mileage . . . Tropical Park in Florida is already being filled for the coming opening of the Florida racing season. Among more recent arrivals were 10 horses sent by Col. AR. S. McLaughlin of the Parkwood Stables. We shall watch closely for any happy news in that direction from now on . . . Toronto » Balmy Beach won the Ontario Rugby Fcotball Union championship by defeating Toronto's "try-anything" Indians 15-0 on a slippery gridiron three years ago today. In the first game of the total points title series Beaches won 2-1. It was the east-end team's first ORFU title since 1940. 2 og 2 + »* » SCISSORED SPORT--(By The Canadian Press)--The Intercounty Baseball League voted Wednesday to give the president--rather than the league executive--power to penalize any team or player for infraction of the league rules.

Both were Olympic track entrants along with Don's brother, Bob, who dropped from the all-star squad from last year. Toronto's sensational Bruce Cum- mings rose like a meteor to take UNANIMOUS COLLEGE over Bob's spot. Cummings is rated as almost on a par with Parry in passing,' inferior in running but superior in kicking. He was second highest scorer in the league with 33 points, 11 behind Parry. Lenard and Hayes are right at home in the classy company and can pass, kick and run with the best of them. Hayes 1s especially noted for his deadly defensive play and line smashing, while Lenard is just about the shrewdest play-caller in the circuit. Mustard Was Hot Varsity's Fraser gMustard received most support along the line with ALL-STARS an almost-unanimous 36 points. The bruising 206-pound middle was Varsity's top lineman all season. Rock-ribbed inside Bill Jarvie and six-foot-five centre George Wear- ring, came next with 29 and 25 points respectively. Bill Ford of Western took the other inside spot with 18 points, while two rugged Blues--Dave Copp and captain Ian Clark--tied for the remaining in- side position with 18 points each. Western's pass-snatching pair -- Fabe Curry with 35 points and Bill Wardle with 29--took the outside berths. Both are around the six- foot mark and deadly tacklers.

Victory was ninth for Spitfires against one loss and gave them un- disputed possession on second place, two points ahead of Oshawa Gen- erals, Barrie remained in fourth place. p It was an uphill fight for Spit- fires. Taking the lead in the first minute of play on a goal by Gerry Lavegne, Spits lost it when Gerry Gordon scored at 8:54 and repeated early in the second period. Francis O'Grady, who paced Windsor with two goals, tied it at 6:34, but Flyers came right back to take the edge when McNabney scored.

Guelph pulled down the three penalties of the period. Bob Armstrong even: the count half-way through the second period and that served to op2n up the game. Seconds. later, Guelph again went ahead on a goal by Ed Bolan: Both goals were scored while "Bib- ber" O'Hearn was in the penalty box for tripping... Kroehlers had a dozen chances to even the score in the third per- iod, but couldn't beat Jim Beasley, who turned in a great game for Guelph. !

Calgary Stamps Ready to Paste East's Ears Back By KEN METHERAL Canadian Press Staff Writer Calgary, Alta, Nov. 18--(CP)-- Calgary's galloping cowboys packed their saddle bags today before head- ing eastward in quest of the Grey Cup and vengeance for a 37-year- old "Slight." The powerful Stampeders, newly- crowded football kings of Western Canada leave by rail for Oakville, Ont., tonight. There they will set up training camp for the final week of workouts before trying to hogtie and brand either Ottawa Rough Riders or Hamilton Tigers in the Dominion football final. To old-time Calgary grid enthusi- iasts, selection of Toronto's Varsity Stadium as site of the Nov. 27 fall grid classic is an omen auguring ill for the East's chances of retaining the coveted Grey Cup. | Just 37 years ago, another Cal- | gary team--the Tigers--waited im- patiently for a crack at Canada's top fooball award. They never got it. To the horror of this foothills city, University of Toronto was de- clared dominion football champins for 1911. The Canadian Rugby Union of that era had taken no action on a membership application from the Western body and the title remain- ed in the East. It has taken Calgary's wounded pride 37 years to recover from the slight and mould a second western championship squad. Coach Les Lear told old Tiger | captain Squin Ross Wednesday | night: "Stamps will be fighting in the have been fighting if they had been given the chance back in 1911."

The battle that started in Mon- treal between Canadiens and Black Hawks last week was resumed in | Chicago Wednesday night, with Jim Conacher and Rip Riopelle featured in the main bout. i It was the fifth straight home win for the Bruins. It came when Warwick batted the puck past Leaf goalie Turk Broda. Warwick got his second goal by deflecting in Milt Schmidt's long shot while Bill Barilko sat out his third penalty of the game. Rangers Gain Tie Right-winger Fernand Gauthier scored twice for the Red Wings with Jim Enio and George Gee connect- ing for the other two. For Rangers it was Tony Leswick, Edgar Laprade, Pentii Lund and Clint Albright. Half of the 18 penalties thrown at Montreal and Chicago were call- ed during the scoreless first period. Jee Carveth started the see-saw scoring battle with his second- period goal but Bill Mosienko tied it minutes later. Hawks went ahead on the first of Gaye Stewart's two goals, dropping behind again as Elmer Lach and Doug Harvey each went in for quick scores. Trailing 3-2 at the start of the last pericd, Hawks tied it on Gus Bodnar's early goal and won on Maurice (the Rocket) Richard failed to hit the scoring column and skated off with a "no comment" when. queried aboul remarks made by Frank Boucher on his wartime goal-scoring streak.

Louis Credits Bivins As Good Heavy Contender Cleveland, Nov. 18--(AP)--Heavy- weight champion Joe Louis labels Jimmy Bivins the toughest oppon- ent he has faced so far on his ex- hibition boxing tour. "I don't know why he shouldn't be a contender if he gets serious about his training," Louis said in his dressing room Wednesday night after engaging in a six-round no- decision affair with the Cleveland Negro. "He threw two good right-hand punches and I knew I was hit, but they weren't hard enough to bother me," the champion added. "Anyone who fights him has to be very careful." With both fighters using 12- ounce gloves instead of the regula- tion eight, Bevins opened a cut above Louis' left eye in the second round. Joe received the wound or- iginally Nov. 8 when he accidental- ly bumped heads with Johnny Shkor in an exhibition at Boston The injury had not hgaled complete- ly: and the champion entered the ring with a small patch over it. Bevins did most of the leading during the exhibition while Louis opened up only sporadically. He al- most dropped Bivins with a right in 'the second when the two were in a neutral corner.

These teams clash in a sudden-death game in Cobourg on Saturday. Today's game was a replay on neufral grounds of the overtime 16-16 tie staged by the Ghosts and Bombers in Orillia last Saturday. With a cold west wind whipping across the gridiron--and keeping the crowd down to a few hundred --kicking was uncertain. Both sides frequently took tb the air on passes with the Ghosts' tossing paying off better. They intercepted several Bober passes. The groundwork was fairly even in a hard-fought fray. Orillia threatened early when they drove up on plunges by Dave Ross to get in position for a placement. But Cobourg blocked it. The Ghosts started a march from midfield in the second quarter and Cooper threw two neat completed forward passes to Quigley and Boyd to set the stage for a major, coach Bob Cooper carrying it over on a two- yard plunge. Brandwood converted for the entire scoring of the game. The Ghosts were going again in the third when O'Brien grabbed one of their passes. White, D.

SELF-PASTING SCRAPBOOK PRONOVOST | SUSPENDED Windsor, Nov. 18 -- (CP -- Marcel Pronovost of Windsor Spitfires was suspended inde- finitely last night during a scheduled Ontario Hockey Asso- ciation game when he accepted coach Jimmy Skinner's alter- native to "play according to the coach or get dressed." He got dressed. Skinner said Pronovost exhib- ited "indifference" during the Windsor-Barrie Flyers game here which the Spitfires won 5-3. The Windsor coach said Pronevost deliberately broke his stick in the second period when he drew a penalty for in- terference.
