PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1948. BY Geo. H. Campbell PORT NAPSHOTS Oshawa Generals travel up to Galt tonight to tackle Alfie Moore's e Rockets in a schedule tilt and then tomorrow night, the Rockets com right back to Oshawa Arena for another session with the Generals. Here We're not saying that they're going to win them but they could. Galt Rockets have been any- thing but impressive so far this season and if the Generals could take are a couple of games the Generals could win. & couple of points up there tonight and then come back and win a couple more tomorrow night 'here, things would brighten up quite a bit. The game here tomorrow night could be an interesting tussle. The last time Rockets visited Oshawa, the Generals chalked up a 7-1 victory. If they can continue their mastery over the Rockets, this could be a better week than the last two or three proved. * L 3 3 Only Junior "A" game played last night found Stratford Kroehlers winning a handy decision over the Guelph Biltmores, 5-2. That marks the third-straight victory for the Kroehlers and breaks their tie with the Generals for fourth place. At present, Windsor and St. Kitt's are tied for top spot with 23 points each and Barrie Flyers are next with 22 and then, comes Stratford with 20 and Generals have 18. Oshawa can catch up to Kroehlers by winning in Galt tonight while the tie for first place will likely be broken tonight, unless of course, Tee Pees and Spitfires play a tie game in St. Kitt's. Playing in the Toronto High entry, comprised of Wally Butler, Karl Stafford, Paul Michael and Al Parkhill, skip, defeated M. E. Watts of Stouffville 9-8 in their first game of the Thauburn Trophy event and then lost 9-6 to Ross Tarlton's crack Hamilton Thistles rink, in the second round. into their club competitions now and despite the power cut-offs, things are rolling right along with the besom 'n' stane boys.

Leading Sport Curling is fast becoming the prov- ince's leading winter sport. Its en- thusiasts now are set for the ~reat- est season since that winter's day more than 70 years ago when a few hardy Highlanders began throwing rocks on the ice of the Red River. The secretary of one downtown club said it had turned down more than 30 men who wished to jain this winter. "It was hard to do, bat with our roster packed to the limit, there was nothing else we could do about it." This winter will see Greater Win- nipeg's ice surfaces increased. Two brand new rinks have been built. Grain Exchange curlers are build- ing a six-sheet rink within the sha- dows of the old Fort Garry Gate- way. 11 Extra Sheets The Valour Road branch of the Canadian Legion has built a rink of five sheets.
