re pT a ome . sorely-needed s MILT SCHMIDT MOST CRAFTY Boston Bruins' Veteran Centre Star Voted As Top "Smoothie" In NHL "By JACK 'SULLIVAN anadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP)--Milt Schmidt, pushed into hockey when his mo- ther wouldn't allow him to play football because it was .too rough, is the craftiest veteran in the Na- tional Hockey League. He. edged out Elmer Lach, another smoothie, for the accolade. Sports writers and sportscasters of the six NHL cities gave the nod' to the Boston Bruin centre today as a belated birthday gift. He was 35 on March 5, second oldest player in the league. The oldest is the m uchct-upu Lach of Montreal Canadiens, whose birth certificate shows he was born in Nokomis, Sask., Jan, 22, 1918. OTHER SMOOTHIES Six others were named--the ailing Max +» Bentley of, Toronto Maple Leafs; the Bruins' Bill Quacken- bush and Joe Klukay; Bob Gold- ham of Detroit Red Wings; playing: coach Sid Abel, Chicago Blac! Hawks, and Paul Ronty of New York Rangers, who didn't make the big. time until 1947. It was a two-way race between Schmidt, who has played all his big-league hockey wi Bruins-- from 1038 and interrupted 3% . by war duty--and Lach, in any given situation --when thetr team is shorthanded, when the opposition is short-han- ded and when the heat is on for {and looks greater this year CO) punch. A le of a sald that was better than the ice @=i ago--Frank Nigh- bor, one of the greatest défensive centres of all time with the old Ottawa Senators; Nels (Old Poi- son) Stewart of Montreal Maroons fame, and Newsy Lalonde, fire- brand Montreal Maroons old- timer. ALL-ROUND PLAYER ~ Lou Walter of the Detroit Tim said that Schmidt's "great all- round ability, coupled with smart~ ness' made him "superior" to the three old-timers. Bobby Hewitson, Toronto Tele- gram sports editor and former NHL referee, said that Schmidt has all the answers in a pinch and is "as good" as Lalonde, Stew- art and Nighbor. Baz O'Meara, vet- eran sports editor of the Mon Star, gave the nod to Lach '"'on the say so of opposing players' and added that he "belongs" with the one-time cuties, Here's what others had to say about the Kitchener, Ont.-born Schmidt: Sportscaster Joe Crysdale, CKEY Toronto: "He's just like old man river; just keeps rolling." Sid Abel, Chicago Hawk coach: 1 Suderry player with the rook- es." Sportscaster Ward Wilson of WMGM, New York: "Without him the Bruins are nothing." He added, Joveyer, that he would 'take els." Joe Falls, The Associated Press, Detroit: 'He's a great shot maker ever as a puck snagger." MORE SUPPORTERS Other Schmidt supporters inclu- ded Andy O'Brien of Weekend ; sportscaster We Jrre Toronto; Stan ri- | Reco; than | "He's Mc- | WMEX Dan Desmond, Chicago Herald- American. picked Lach because he "knows all the tricks of the game, | does everything well, is a good pla maker and certainly is a stabi ing influence on Montreal's young- sters." Marcel Desjardins of La Presse, Montreal, said that Lach "is an inspiration to the team and to (Maurice) Richard; he has fed the Rocket consistently." Desjardins thought Lach compared ably' with Lalonde, Stewart and Nighbor. Vince Lunny, Montreal Herald sports editor, called Lach and added: '"He's the best veteran in the league, too." Other Lach sup- treal porters were Red Burnett of the Toronto Daily Star and Dana Moz- ley, New York Daily News. HEWITT LIKES MAX Bentley caught the eye of sports- caster Foster Hewitt of CKFH, Toronto, "Max is small (five feet, 8% inches and 145 pounds) and a guy who has gone as long as he has must be crafty," Hewitt said. He figured the Delisle, B8ask., dandy was better than Stewart and b Lalonde. Sporrscaster Frank Starr of CJAD, Montreal, sided with Hewitt, saying that "because of Bentley's size he must rely on skillcraft to score." Ben Olan of The Associated Press New York, picked Quackenbush. the solid man of a young Bruin team and knows all there is lo, Xoop" about the game, Olan said. Sportscaster Frank Fallon of , Boston, chose Abel and illooly of the Boston Daily put the finger on Ronty. He described him as an "escape OSHAWA BOWLING NEWS i fd ii : "i ; bef ga 3 i i i i i ey FRETRE | 4 I gray He i i i " rf foskh B " drey. Branton Lor Jaine Knight 663, Marg. Smith 651, Vi. 630.

We also have Jack Bent in there as usual for the men with his high double of 531 and singles of 274 and 257 which also is of the best bowling.

BE READY FOR DIAL 5-0522 We can remember Coach Ab Barnes' words when 'this series - with Kingston Goodyears open- ed . .. "If we can win at least one game on their ice, we might have a chance to win the set." He wasn't being funny either . + . Goodyears looked that tough then, and they look that tough now. They trail in the zeries 3-2 - and tonight it's win or else for them again, If they win, the Truckmen are really up against it. The seventh game is schedul- ed for Kingston and their suc- cess on that ice surface has been anything but stimulating. It would be a little less after seeing a 3-1 lead in the series disappear to a tie and then have to play that seventh game before 5,000-promised and howl- ing Kingston fans, Gadfrey suh! What are we thinking? The Truckers haven't lost a game the local Arena this season and they won't start now. Kingston may be the team of dreams for a league of Limestone City fans, but to us'n they are just a hur- dle (albeit a tough one) on the road to the OHA Senior B title.

Alf phoned us asking about the sét-up the Transporters had in the North Toronto B.A last year and after hearing of guarantees and the like sald, "We won't go for that." Still he wanted to have a talk with officials up that way. According to reports down in Belleville, they might have a junior team, Peterboro aren't sure and no word has come out of Port Hope or Cobourg. But right there could be a nice little set-up. Alf even talked of putting a junior entry into the Lakeshore League. Which, when one con- siders that the Transporters are already trying for a spot, sounds rather odd, Action in the Industrial Bask- etball League has finally reached the play-off stage. Of the five teams who competed through the season, only four will take part in the Dunns Tailor Trophy series. Purchasing Knights were the ousted team. Accounts - Payable ended in first place and so will meet the third place Stags in a two- game, total-points set. Second place Bell Telephone take on Production-Control in the oth- er semi-final. The winners will meet in a two-game, total- points championship final for the newly donated trophy. See where Otto Manske, president of the Intercounty Baseball League says, 'I can't see where the new 'A' series would affect the Intercounty. "If the Intercounty League uses a player from the 'A' ser- ies," he said, "there is mo- to force the Intercounty club to pay the 'A' team for the player's services. The Senior Intercounty is mot affillated with the OBA." That's what the man said when confronted with the OBA convention results of the past weekend. « + « by Bob Rife.

'Welterweight Rocky Brisebois qUEREC (CP)--The new king of the Canadian welterwefght box- ers is hard-hitting Rocky Brisebois, 23-year-old French-speaking Mont- realer, who won the 147-pound crown Monday night with a sev- enth-round knockout over Bryan Kelly of Niagara Falls, Ont. The fight was brought about by the retirement of former champion Johnny Greco. Greco, who won the title from Dave Castilloux, the first welter king of Canada, lost it to Armand Savoie and won it back last Aug- ust. He presented Brisebois with the emblematic belt after the rous- ing scrap before 2,608 fans. Brisebois sent Kelly to the can- vas three times in the sixth round, once for a no-count and twice for a nine-count, after a deep cut over the 21-year-old an's left eye. STANLEY CUP STATISTICS Wins Canadian Championship Brisebois apparently knew he had Kelly going as he started the sev- enth round with a furious, two- fisted attack. Kelly went down and was counted out at 1:34, Kelly, showing more speed than Brisebois, held a slight edge on points in the early rounds but the champion opened up in the fifth round. The only damage to Brisebois was a partly-closed left eye, suf- fered in the third round. It was the ninth knockout vic- tory for Brisebois in 36 fights. He won 15 decisions. Each boxer won once against the other. Brisebols said it was a left and a prayer, "Come on, son, let's go," that put Kelly away. The \black-haired champion, who received 22% per cent of the $6,000 net gate, said his wife is expecting a baby next month. "Nobody can say he won't be a puncher," said Brisebois, hoping it be a boy.
