"" THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, December 11, 1958 WILL BE BUSY MAN SATURDAY NIGHT Don McBeth, former Oshawa | Generals' defenseman, joined the Oshawa Senior "B" hockey team | last winter and has been steadily | employed in the Jeparument of | defense eves since. The rugged rearguard can expect a very busy session tomorrow night too, when the Kingston Goodyears play Oshawa Truckmen, in one of those Saturday night attrac- tions at Bowmanvjlle Arena. SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR | The inroads of television enter- tainment, summer cottages, win- tering in Florida plus a marked increase in the popularity of out- door sporting activity such as hunting and fishing, is playing havoc with the operation of sport teams, both in pro and amateur | ranks. Latest to fold under the strain of public indifference and lack of support, is the Sarnia | "Sailors" senior hockey club. The | Sarnia Arena Commission decided | at its monthly meeting last night to withdraw the .team from the, OHA Senior "A" series, at once. | The team is tied for the bottom | of the heap and the attendance is | poor. They need about 2,000 fans per game 19 meet the weekly ex-| penses'and they've been averaging less than 1,500, so they have decid- ed to fold up. Yes -- dear friends and Sentle veople, the handwriting on the wall. It's the same in other sports but heckey is going lo suffer seriously this winter. The sport fans have been spoiled, spoiled by "big time" promotion, give-away coupons, attendance prizes and over- fm- portance of championships while back in behind all these con- factors is another grown in lots of places -- and even worse than that, down Quebec- way. The leagues or teams and rinks went for the longer schéd- ules because the players have been demanding so much money that more games were needed to pay the weekly sal- aries. Now things are beginning to catch up and the cycle has rolled around. John Q. Public not only is tired of long playoff series but he's not going for the long schedules either--espe- cially if his is a losing team. And it doesn't matter whether % it's a homebrew team or an port team, the fan isn't going go to every game -- even if ers 'every game. It's so serious actually that it's almost funny. Just think of it -- _ here it is not yet December 12 and an OHA Senior "A" team is fold- e club has to pay their play- that they have only one team to support this season and that club, the Oshawa Truckmen, is very much in need of support-- and deseryes it also, since they elected to' carry on this season, | in the face of no local arena. The Truckmen are playing up in Peterborough tonight and the way those TPT boys are ro these days, the Truckers will have their hands full. Then to morrow night, Truckmen play Kingston Goodyears this one is a "home game' at the Bow- man Arena. These games this season between Kingston and Oshawa, have all been real siz- zlers, crammed full of hockey action at its best. We can recom- mend to the local puck fans that they take in this game at Bow- manville Arena tomorrow night --it will be another red-hot bit of hockey entertainment. BRIGHT BITS: There's some special notices for curling club members today. Bill Brownlee wants to remind all the men that on Saturday afternoon, 1.30 o'clock, there'll be a one-game event with glasses and apples as prizes, the aw to be made from the board. . + » On Saturday night, the mixed curling jitney will have chickens as and all Oshawa C.C. mem- rs are invited to take part . . . On Wednesday night, the men will have a two-game session for tur- keys and chickens, the annual Christmas "turkey trot" for the local curlers, with two top prizes for two-game winners and one for the single, one-game winners. . . . Rocket Richard isn't going to let Jean Beliveau steal his thunder. He "rocketed" for three goals against Chicago last night before Montreal fans and Boston, Eddie Sandford scored three as Boston whipped Detroit 6-3. . , . It was a bad night for the Wings -- It's been a bad weedk, in fact Wed- nesday night, down in New York, a sneak thief rifled the play- ers' pockets, while the dressing room was empty--almost empty, that is! THIS SATURDAY ~ Call City League Practices The "City League" of the Osh- awa Minor Hockey Association will hold another practice session for all prospective Midgets (ages 14 and 15) and Juveniles (ages 16 and 17) only from 4:30 p.m. to 7: : pn. \Welusive, Saturday, Decem- r , at the Port Perry Memor- ial Arena.

The railbirds, coaches and man- agers are quite convinced that the hockey talent is better looking this year than for some time. The Ban- tams are big, strong, eager, and show considerable know-how at this early date and feel that with much more individual coaching there should be a marked improvement in their skating, checking, passing, team play and patter play, etc. Although many of our juveniles have stepped up into Junior "B" company, there appears to be a 30 | brand, For Midgets and Juveniles strong juvenile group made up of the remaining Fo BL and some classy midgets of last year.
