12 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, March 24, 1954 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS OPEN SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR The annual Stanley Cup playoff find got under vay last night and annual NHL hockey opened with a Yesounding pane: Over in Detroit, for the 13th-straight time, Toronto Maple Leafs failed to make an impression -- in fact they made Coach King Clancy and goalie Lumley der "wha' hopp . The Red Wings chalked up a 5-0 victory in the opening game of this semi-final series and they did it in such convincing fashion that even the red - hot Toronto fans are be- wildered and staggering this morn- ing. Red Wings went hot when the chips were down and it begins to look very much as if it will be Red Wings and the Habs in the Stanley Cup finals. Down in Montreal, Davis and Geoffrion each scored once to give Canadiens a 2-0 victo- ry over Bos Bruins. Actually, the Bruins weren't expected to win on Montreal ice but Thursday night, the second games are on the same ice and if both Red Wings and Canadiens chalk up two-straight wins, then the tick- et grabbers who want to see the final series, can start in looking, at once. The NHL scoring statistics, re- leased yesterday, tell quite a storey the hockey fam who really wants to study them. Red Wings, paced by Howe, Lindsay, Kelly and rookie Reibel, and the Canadiens, with Richard, frion, Olmstead, practically do- minated the honor list. There's no denying the facts--and the facts are there to observe. Howe headed the point-scoring for the fourth year in a row, Richard scored the most goals and when you come to look em over, Toronto Leafs are (away down in the listings. On the face of it, the NHL teams finished in their correct order and there ap- ars to be every reason to be- Tove that when they come to bid for the blue chips, it will be Canadiens vs. Detroit -- with the best-balanced team taking the gonfalon. : Meanwhile, here in Ochawa the local hockey fans are getting steamed up over their playoffs. Sure the AHL teams are in the midst of their playoff grind, so are the NHL teams and the Junior "A" clubs are hard at it also. Teepees only managed a tie tonight but that wasn't too bad, even at that. How- ever, Oshawa Truckmen go to Pet- erbrough tomorrow night for the the fourth game of their 4-out-of-7 group championship finals. At the moment, Truckers have two wins and a tie, they need only one more win and a tie, in the remaining four games, to clinch the pennant and berth in subsequent OHA Sen- jor "B" playdowns. The Truckmen are aiming at that goal. It's hard to say how it will come out. On the records of the past sche- dule, TPT Petes should win at least one game at home -- and if they are to do that, they had better click tonight. If Oshawa' Truckmen win another on Peterborough ice, then the Petes will be surely hang- ey at least made a competitive showing. On ing on the ropes. However, even if the Petes take tomorrow night's contest, they are a long way from even. The fifth game is in King- ston" on Saturday night. Oshawa fans are flocking to take advant- age of the special train that has been arranged by the Truckmen club. There are about 300 Oshawa hockey fans going to take in the game at Kingston this Saturday night -- they're going down by spe- cial train, at bargain prices. They're going down to have fun and a good time -- but they're also going down to cheer the Truckmen to wr Bo and it should be a gala night! Get your ticket early! Two Ontario championships in two nights has the Brooklin hock- ey fans sticking their chests out --and well they might. They won the Bantam "D" title on Friday and the Midget "D" title on Sat- urday night. They went to the the semi-finals in the Juvenile "D" ranks also. Not a bad show- ing for a village that entered OMHA playdowns for the first By THE CANADIAN PRESS The hex still works for Detroit Red Wings and Montreal Cana- diens. It could carry them into the Stanley Cup finals. The Wings, who haven't allowed Toronto ple Leafs a National Hockey League victory at Detroit since Nov. 2, 1952, whipped the Leafs 5-0 Tuesday night in the first game of their cup semi-final series on home ice. And Canadiens kept right on where they left off in the regular season by blanking Boston 2-0 at Montreal to keep their record clean against the Bruins at the Forum t| season. The victories gave Detroit und! Montreal the first big ones in post- season play and with the second ames of the best-of-seven semi- inals scheduled for the Forum and Olympia Stadium Thur day and Olympia Stadium Thursday night, it could mean a 2-0 lead in before they move to Toronto and Boston for the third end fourth games. The Wings, with two Stanley Cup victories in their last five cham- pionship seasons, scored in every, Jerid to shut out the inept Leafs fore 13,177 fans. SECOND-PERIOD LEAD Bost held C shots, many of them from far out. His biggest scare of the night came in the final minute of the second period when Rookie Doug Mohns shot from 15 feet out and the puck bobbled off Plante's pads and dribbled about the goal line. The Bruins howled that a goal had been scored but goal judge George Moore of Detroit ruled the puck had not crossed the line. Canadiens did not dress two players -vetoran centre Elmer ch and defenceman Jim Mac- Pherson. Bruins were short de- fenceman Hal Laycoe, left at home with a groin injury, and two rookie farmhands were used, cen- tre Guyle Fielder and left-winger Wayne Brown from Seattle of the Western Hockey League. Boston-- Goal: Henry; defence: Quackenbush, Armstrong, Godfrey, Martin; forwards: Schmidt, Peir- son, Sandford, Mackell, Gardner, Dumart, Labine, Creighton, Klukay Mohns, Brown, Fielder. Montreal -- Goal: Plante; de- fence: Bouchard, Johnson, St. Lau- rent, Harvey; forwards: Beliveau, Geoffrion, Moore, Mosdell, Richard Olmstead, Masnick, Curry, Davis, Mazur, McCormack, Meger. Referee: Red Storey; linesmen: George Hayyes and Bill Morrison. ummary or time, Hats are off here in Osh to the gallant little Brooklin teams for their fine success and in particular to the men who coached, managed or helped fin- ance the teams. They've done a splendid job for Brooklin -- and and for the kids! BRIGHTS BITS: We note the Ontario Baseball Association has got real rough Tefarding their fin- ancial dealings. It costs twice as much to protest in 1954, $50.00 to be exact. They've copied a lot of the Ontario Softball Association's technique in handling their play- offs too -- but they'll find at the end of the 1954 season, that if they do not have plenty of teams and plenty of playoff games, that busi- ness of levying percentage 8 'ainst the playoff survivors will result in a lot less entries in '55. They are going to make their umpires pay two bucks also -- what a jar to a few "blind toms" we could men- tion. . . . But if they don't entice senior ball back to a full-fledged operating status in the OBA, then that body is still going to find plen- ty of financial trouble. . . . East York Lyndhursts came home yes- terday and received a great wel- come. That's as it shoul it could be noted that it was the East York fans who supplied the welcome, not the metropolitan fans who levied such harsh criticism in or not the COBL will operate this the past three weeks. . . . Whether season will likely be decided this weekend. Peterborough is making a real comeback attempt, baseball is lively in Belleville -- but it takes, more than that. . . . Herman Mas- on, shortstop with Oshawa Mer- chants last season, is getting a bid for big time z¢gnin this year, train- ing in Florida with the new Int-r- national League entry, Richmotd, Virginia. Incidentally, the Masons are celebrating the arrival of a baby brother for "Debbie". . . . Judging by the remarks we hear and read, all is not rosy in the Inter-County League this season-- and mo wonder! GM Purchasing Cagers Win Sudden-Death Game Over Stags General Motors Purchasing Bas- ketball team scored a SUvicing 77-51 win over the Stags in a sud- den death contest at Simcoe Hall last night to decide second place in the City Industrial League. Previously these teams had clos- ed out the regular league sched- ules in a second place tie. Four teams go into the city playoffs, scheduled to get under way on Monday for the Dunn's Tailor's Trophy. Parts Redmen who finish- ed in first place meet the third- place Stags while the Duplate team meets Purchasing. In a thrilling playoff premiere the Pufphasing team used the five- man aftack and a centre decoy to completely baffle and disorganize the Stags. Whether planned or coincidental, Purchasing dug deep into the pages of history to come up with the rare "Puss in Corner" play of Paige's famous Edmonton Grads, and consistently capitaliz- ed to run away from the Stags after the initial quarter. Up until the last two minutes of the first quarter play see-sawed back and forth with neither team retaining more than a one-point advantage. % Consistent play-making by Mat- thews and excellent rebound snar- ing by Bathe kept the Stags in while Robson carried the pay load for Purchasing working the bali up nicely for accurate passes to sharpshooters Dressing and Train- er. The turning point in the game came when Lloyd Sturch incurred his fourth foul and was removed for insurance. This coupled with the 'Paige Kitty Play" was the beginning of the end for the Stags. The initial quarter ended 16-11 for Purchasing. Purchasing was temporarily weakened early in the second uarter as Robson was tagged with his fourth foul. However, he was replaced by Bill Kudla -who did a fine job on defence until suffer- ing a sprained ankle fesulting in his removal at the end of the half. Al To Britain and Beyond Finest cuisine and cellar aloft! BRITISH OVERSEAS AIRWAYS CORPORATION "Fly During the second quarter Pur- chasing built up an 11-point lead to stay out in front 34-23 at the half, Bm with 12 points and Dressing with 14, Rhame and at- thews with 7 each and Hartley with § accounted for most of the Stags' points. Rhame, Whalley, and Armstead started a Stag rally early in the third frame and whittled the Pur- chasing lead but Hartley lost his check time and again and this combined with the excellent re- bound snatching of the Purchasing defence cut the rally short. Mcllveen replacing Kudla com- bined nicely with Maclnally to press a continuous five-man attack with a centre decoy which had the Stags floundering as Dressing hit the bucket time and again from the side and corners. Robson bowed out of the game for five fouls as his teammates ended on top 48-35 at the end of the third. Maclnally opened the final quar- ter with the longest shot of the game to make an even 50. Stags pressed again at this stage but were jinxed as seven clear efforts hit the rim and rolled off. Harley and Rhame were dis- qualified for five fouls to end all hopes for the Stags. For the final quarter it was al Matthews for the Stags as time and again he outfoxed the whole Purchasing team to score. How- ever, his efforts were of little avail against the combination of Dress- ing, Trainer and MaclInally who between them amassed a total of 26 points to end the game 77-51. The most outstanding player on the floor was Matthews playing an excellent game in his guard posi- HOCKEY PLAYOFF O.H.A. JUNIOR "B" (SIXTH GAME) Kingston Vics - VS. - Port Perry Flyers 8:30 P.M.
