INNSBRUCK, Austria (AP) Athletes from 35 countries are arriving in force for the win- ter Olympics, which open next Wednesday.

The victory vaulted the Generals 11 points ahead of the Wings, in the scramble for sixth place and final playoff berth in the OHA Junior "A" set. It also set the stage for an even more successful performance by the Generals, in this final home stretch of the schedule, If Bill Little can do it, then so can a few others who, while certainly carrying their share of the load, still haven't been too often in the limelight. Now all Coach Cherry would like to see is chaps like O'Shea, Buchanan, Orr, etc., continue to play their fine brand of hockey and have the rest of the squad come up with out- standing games such as Little displayed last night. The 'race is beginning to stretch out -- Marlies have the top spot sewn up and while Petes might threaten the Junior Habs, Montreal should still finish in second place. It looks as if Niagara Falls will finish in fourth spot and St, Kitts look good enough to hang on to fifth: place--although the Generals may make it quite a stretch finish. As for Oshawa, they need four or five more wins, including one or two over Hamilton Red Wings -- and they'll be "in" as far as:a playoff berth is concerned. xX Xx x x MINOR HOCKEY WEEK, now an annua! event in our fair land, will be celebrated this next week, starting on Saturday night. Here at home, the Oshawa Minor Hockey Association, under the stimulated leadership of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association, is leading the way, in setting up an attractive program. They've got about 80 minor hockey games teed up for next week -- starting with nine Pee Wee league games in the Neighborhood Assoc. Pee Wee boys league this Satur- day morning. In addition to the Neighborhood Pee Wee Lea- gue, Oshawa boasts a wealth of organized 'minor' hockey.
