H. Campbell - SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' LOOKING AROUND -- whenever it comes time to write a week-end column, we thing it's sorta nice to glance through the exchanges and read what's gaing on in other centres. We could.devote time and space to talking about the Oshawa Generals being in action last 'night, the various 'House League" games that are-carded for this week-end and the big game between Whitby Dunlops and Generals, tomorrow afternoon at Maple Leaf Gardens, but then we figure everybody that is the least bit interested, can find that information elsewhere, or already know all about it. But, getting away from home, for a few minutes -- did you know that Cobourg's Recreation Commission is building five outdoor rinks this winter -- quite a number for a town of that size, certainly a credit to their enterprise and an example to a lot of other communities. INCIDENTALLY, now that the election is. over and he wouldn't really be "risking his'neck" --- why doesn't 'some enterprising alderman come out with a suggestion to. put four walls and a roof'over the artificial ice-rink now located in North Oshawa Neighborhood Park? It would -- at a very minor cost -- give our city, in 'the north end" another rec- reational arena that could be' used by such local ' hockey leagues as the UAW League, Oshawa-Courtice League; Civil Service League; North Plant League, etc. --- instead of forcing all these teams to rent ice, out-of-town. Up to now, it has been pretty much of a "white elephant" -- sitting idle for about nine months of every year -- but with a roof over it, it could be used at least five or six months. (November-to-March inclusive), would provide extra ice-time for minor teams, a home for "adult" figure. skaters -- and in the summer months, a good spot for such activities as require indoor facilities. Such economical measures as cement block walls, a couple of. serviced dressing rooms and a tin roéf, would quickly turn the North Oshawa set-up into a worth-while recreational facil- ity. They already have the most important needs -- space, rink surface, pipes and an.artificial ice plant. 'But-as it is now -- one good snow storm puts the whole thing 'out of business" until somebody (usual- ly the "neighbors") get around to shovelling off ie snow. Come, ye City Fathers --- how about some action? CLIPPED AND CULLED: -- We haven't seen much publicity about it at this end, but apparently every time Cobourg Juveniles and Oshawa Juveniles clash they have fireworks. The first time they played, in Cobourg, three Cobourg players were injured and they had to call police to quell the hometown fans, who milled oround the Oshawa dressing room after the game. After refusing to play back in Oshawa, Cobourg finally consented, after being ordered by the district convener, and in the retum game here Sunday night, they had another fiasco, with resulting penal- ties. Incidentally, Oshawa won both gomes, same score 5-2... GARNEY HENLEY, "Little lron Man" of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, is now being recognized as one of Canada's top football performers. He had to rise to great heights and feats of skill to gain the ac- claim but the versatile two-way halfback not only showed himself as one of Canada's greatest ball- carrying threats but he did this, while being orig- inally cast in the role of a pass. defender, punt and kickoff receiver... Y. A. TITTLE, football great of the New York NFL Giants, was christened Yelbert Abraham. No wonder he goes by 'Y.A.'--- eh? ... NOT QUITE up to NHL standards, well, at least not in Toronto or Chicago, but did you know that down in Los Angeles, their team in the Western Hockey Lea- ue, the Blades, drew 94,875 paid admissions for their First ten home games? . . . ALL MEMBERS of the Oshawa Ski Club, and also the 'grocery-store clerks of Kirby, are putting a special note in their Christ- mas stocking, Monday night. They're all asking Santa Claus for the same thing -- about six inches of good skiing snow, for the holiday week. HOCKEY SCORES.

The latest opponent mentioned by adviser Jack Nilon is Har- old Johnson, another Philadel- phian who is the light - heavy- weight champion of the world. This is a bit of manoeuvrin, to get former champion Floy Patterson into the ring with Sonny as quickly as possible. The Liston camp figures Pat- terson, who went 126 seconds with Sonny at Chicago Sept. 25, won't be around much longer in a return fight. The difficulty No One Knows Who Liston Will Fight lies in getting a place to put on the talked-about return. Nilon and Liston don't want any part of Championship Sports, which promoted the first fight. Most of the money for that quickie has been tied up iby the United States government which wants to make sure it col- lects the taxes due on the multi- million-dollar promotion. But under the original con- tract, Patterson has the right to pick the site, date and pro- moter for the second fight. Pat- terson was the man who in- sisted that Liston should get a} chance at the title. Therefore, Liston feels obligated to give Floyd another shot if he wants it. He would look like a fourth- grade heel if he didn't give Pat- terson a return and he knows it. Therefore all the hullabaloo from the Liston camp is to put pressure on Patterson to fight --Swimmer Mary Stewart of Vancouver, (upper photo) win- ner of a gold medal at the in February or March so Lis- ton and company will be free to do whatever they please British Empire Games in Aus- tralia, has been voted Can- ada's outstanding woman ath- : lete of 1962 in the Canadian press year-end poll of sports editors and broadcasters.

By KEVIN BOLAND Andre Champagne and Mike Corbett; a pair of 19-year-olds, led Neil McNeil Maroons in a 10-0 thumping of Oshawa Ge2- erals before a thin crowd at Maple Leaf Gardens last night. The evening was not a total loss for local fans, however, as Whitby Dunlops continued their winning ways with a 5-2 upset victory over Knob Hill Farms in the second game of the double feature. Ro> Buchanan, right winger with the Generals, said this: "They had a good night while "lwe were really off. We just couldn't get a start after those first three goals." "Everybody seemed to give up," said Ricky Eaton, newest member of the Generals, Mike Corbett led Neil McNeil scorers with three goals and four assists. Champagne, recently returned from a lung operation two months back, scored two and helped on another four to match Corbett's effort. Gary Dineex scored two. Mike Walton, Paul Conlin and Jim Keon added singles. Maroons outpassed, outplayed and outshot Generals in their poorest performance. Referee Stan Boshier handed out 40 minutes in penalties, most of them in the final period. At one time there were eight men in the penalty box. Coach Doug Williams had nothing to say of the drubbing. He later imposed a strict il p.m. curfew on his charges in an effort to have them ready \for the Whitby-Oshawa game Sunday afternoon. REMEMBER WHEN .. .?
