28 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE. Thursday, April 29, 1954 SPORTS MENU "Everything from Soup to Nuts" by Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR Oshawa Truckmen suffered a stern and vicious blow to their playoff hopes over the weekend. In the last seconds of Tuesday t's ame, all by himself wit nobody near, coach Ernie Dickens fell to the ice, twisting his knee. Intense Jain and failure to respond to the trainer's treatment, resulted eventally in a trip to Toronto to a specialist and Ernie Dickens will undergo an operation either this' afternoon or tomorrow. A cartilege injury, both Jainful and serious, coach Ernie Dickens was strongly advised to get the injury repaired immediately, to avoid permanent disability. will mark the first ame that Dickens has missed in wo years with the Truckmen. A great competitor and a bulwark when the going gets tough, Dickens has been a tower of strength to the Truckmen this year. It's the bitterest kind of a blow that he can not stay with the team- and finish the season in their bid for the OHA Senior '"B" championship. Without Ernie Dickens on de- fense, it's going to take the Oshawa Truckmen all their time te win this series. Up until now, we figured the Truckmen would win in straight games and the series would end on Saturday pight. Without Ernie Dickens, who has done extra duty in al- most every playoff game, the Truckmen are going to have their work cut out. It stil can be done. Chaps like McBeth and Peters are going to get extra work-- they're going to have to come ho with their very best hockey the way -- and stay on the fee too. The forwards will give some help and it's now a team proposition, The Truckmen are Jolig have to go out and win e championship, for their coach without their coach. A great guy, one can not help admiring Ernie Dickens and w he has done for the Oshawa Truckmen. It's a cruel blow for him to miss this title series but here's hoping the boys come through for him and for themselves. By the way -- Lou Jankowski visited the Truck- men's dressing room in Simcoe the other night, saving "hello" to Sinden, Hooper, McBeth, Hol- den, Berwick, Samolenko, Scott, Etcher, ete, He likes Chicago and figures they'll be much stronger next season, Oshawa Curling Club members held their annual meeting last night and it proved a big, suc- cessful night. Committee chair- men gave their reports, all of which proved that 1953-54 was the best season they've ever had at the local curling club. They limited their club membership.to 400 for next year and they elected L. M. "Jimmie" Souch as the new pres- ident, with "Ab" Robins and "Army" Armstrong as vice-presi- dents, Big news of the meeting was the unanimous vote of the curlers present fo go ahead with the proposed renovation of the club house. They intend to get started right away and have it ready for {next November, They'll tear down {the present front section, enlarge {the cellar quarters and build a new two-floor building, with bet- ter facilities for dinin room, games room, lounge, offices, etc. The members were all for it and the 'go ahead" signal has been given. By next November, Oshawa |should have one of the finest curl- ling clubs in the province, complete with excellent facilities for all.

If no one offers to buy, there will be no hockey in Hamilton next season because Soble feels "it is neither wise nor desirable that I ally continue to operate Rockey clubs." He estimated his total losses in hockey during the 1083-54 season at $45,000. $29 000,000 by the junior Cubs, $23,000 by the senior Tigers. Figures indicate that over 80,000 fans paid just over $05,000 to watch the two teams play hockey this season. "That's a lot of money and maybe a record for gate receipts |and attendance for Hamilton hoe- | key," Soble said. "My chief reason for getting out | of hockey isnt' financial; other interests and my general lack of hockey 'know-how' make such a move advisable."
