6 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturday, February 13, 1965 Friday and will represent Ontario in the Canadian curling finals next month at Saskatoon. Members of the THE WINNERS! Union- ville captured the Ontario Curling Title at Cobourg SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' QUEBEC RIFLES, the new football team that was formed down Montreal-way last year and with Sam "The' Rifle" Etcheverry as their coach, took the name "Rifles" in an effort to cash-in on the long-standing popularity of Etcheverry among the Montreal football fans, announced earlier this week that the club was moving to Toronto, We couldn't get it quite clear whether or not they were adopting Toronto as their new "hometown" or whether they were just invading Toronto, ih search of bigger gate receipts. It's no secret that last Fall, the turnstiles did not click any merry tune for the Rifles. One thing is certain, Toronto didn't invite the "Rifles" to open a new target area in the Queen City. In the course of about 48 | hours, it has become rather apparent that no welcome mat has been rolled out. Hyman Katz, president of the Quebec team, has announced his conclusion that Maple Leaf Stadium is not suitable 'for football--the spectators would be too far away from the action. Earlier in the week, the "'Rifles" made over- tures to the University of Toronto, but apparently Varsity Stadium is either not available to the "Rifles" or the price range is beyond their fire-power. That leaves only the Cana- dian National Exhibition Stadium--over which Toronto Argo- naut Club has full control. It doesn't require much imagination to get the idea that Argos will be far from enthusiastic about making any counter-attraction available to their customers. They're in danger of losing a lot of them now--Argos certainly will not give the fans a choice. And on top of that--the "Rifles"' im comparison with the cannon-like status of Eastern Canada professional clubs, are just that, merely rifles--more like pea- shooters than howitzers! b 4 x x x NOW WHAT? It has long been recognized that to be a top official in any sport, the men selected for the job must be men | of character, of good judgment, of alert minds and able to give honest (even, if not always perfect) decisions, without fear or favor. Yesterday, a group of ex-NHL officials got togther and in a public statement, apparently "'blew the whistle' on their former bosses. NHL president Clarence Campbell this week brushed aside as not important and being "old stuff' the charges that were levied by Eddie Powers and others. We doubt if the subject can be brushed aside any longer. Follow- ja position \force a sudden - '62 BOSTON GAME By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor TORONTO (CP)--Three for- mer National Hockey League referees and a linesman Friday reiterated charges of manipulat- ing games--they refused to say games were 'fixed' or "rigged'--and presented evi- dence, but few concrete facts of pressure put on game officials by the league. The referees--Eddie Powers, John Mehlenbacher and Dalton McArthur --.and linesman George Hayes stood up before a packed press conference, talked about the celebrated March 22, 1962, game at Bos- ton, the pension scheme and about referee-in-chief Carl Voss and league president Clarence Campbell. Much of it was a rehahs of statements made at various times in the past. They did, however, give some new first-hand evidence that they said occurred before and during the Boston game which New York Rangers won 4-3 that wrapped up a Stanley Cup play- off spot for the Blueshirts. Powers, who resigned Feb. 14, 1963, from the NHL officiating staff, said last week he had given NHL governors tangible evidence of what he considered to be an attempt to manipulate winning foursome are Keith Jewett, vice; Al Claney, second; Ray McGee, lead and Ray Grant, skip. \Gaionville Men Fixed Or Rigged? Refs Fail To Say this was an important game to New York, that the Rangers hadn't been in the playoffs for a few years and to call only '*good" penalties against New York. Both quoted Voss as saying that the last-place Bruins were not going anywhere but home after the regular 70-game sched- ule. Rangers led 4-0 after the first period and in the second session McArthur said that captain Don McKenney of the Bruins skated over to him and asked: "What are you trying to do? Throw the game?" McArthur added that he skated over to Hayes, told him what McKenney had said, and remarked: "I should give him , a misconduct but I can't' be- EDDIE POWERS the <sutcome of the Boston game. WERE OFFICIALS McArthur, fired in 1963, and Hayes, let out last week when he refused to take an eye test ordered by Campbell, were offi- cials in that game. McArthur and Hayes said NHL referee-in-chief Carl Voss en- tered the officials' dressing room and said, in effect, that 'Take Ontario LADIES' CURLING 'Curling Title | COBOURG, Ont.

The Unionville rink won the rights in an exciting finish | ssa to the round-robin, at Cobourg, yesterday afternoon. Joe Gurowka and his Dixie rink was tied with Unionville, each with five wins and one defeat, entering the final draw. Matt White of Belleville practically settled the issue; when he defeated Joe Gurowka in the final game, by one shot, Gurowka made | a great comeback bid and had the winning rocks in the house, when White threw his last stone--and the Belleville skip made a brilliant double take-out, to win. In the other game, Orillia's Doug Rawson pushed Grant right to the wire. He was count- ing one, but two down and had only one left, when Grant pink- ed out the counter--and it was all over. Next year's British | Consols final round-robin will be played in Brampton and in | 1967, at Orillia. xX x x x "JACK" FAIR was buried yesterday and with his passing, another of Oshawa's fine contingent of homebrew baseball stars leaves the scene. Son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fair, | Jack was a better-than-average athlete in anything he tackled but was an outstanding outfielder in baseball. And we mean baseball--not "hardball"--when Jack Fair talked about "ball" --there was only one gaeatesbasebel--Seriously ill for three years, his death was not unexpected but that didn't make it less regrettable. He was a centre-field star with Oshawa's first OBA Junior championship team, General Motors in 1936 and.in later years, starred with the local senior clubs. We join ball fans and all sport fans, in extending sincere sympathy to the Fair family. 2 " Bs CHRIS ROBERTS JEAN PRONOVOST Niagara Falls Here Tonight Jean Pronovost (right) is the linvade the Civic Auditorium to-|Tightwinger on the all-French | line cons.sting of centre Rosaire ' z ' 'My night pd we nae -- .

BANNED FROM PLAYOFFS The two officials said that Voss later went into their dress- ing room, told McArthur he wanted to see him in his hotel after the game. He was with Voss about an hour, later met Hayes in a bar and said Voss had told him he would not offici- ate in any playoff games. McArthur and Hayes said they talked the situation over and Hayes said he suggested that they "turn in Voss now." McArthur told the conference he had called "the worst game of my career," handing out 13 penalties -- seven to Boston. '|Each team got a minor in the first period, the Bruins received four and New York two in the second and Ranger¢ received three and Boston two in the fi- nal. The Bruins scored their the second period. Powers, Mehlenbacher, Mc- Arthur and Hayes said in a statement read to the confer- ence: |. 'We contend that by eliminat- jing the official malpractices we jcite, the game will be improved --and that the NHL owners owe this to their fans as an absolute minimum obligation. If our ef- forts help bring this about, we'll be satisfied." AWAY FROM GAME Mehlenbacher, who said he hasn't been inside an arena or watched a game on television since he was fired eight years ago, said that when Chicago had a tough time filling its stadium "I was definitely told by Voss to look after Chicago." © "I never did. I was told by| Voss never to call double pen-| alties on Chicago."

The loss left.the Dunlops in a fifth-place tie with Neil McNeil. Both teams have 31 points, two more than Markham and North York. However, all the con- tenders have played fewer games than Whitby. The Whitby team never really seemed to get untracked, despite loud shouts of encour- agement from coach Pat Baker. Dunlops lacked the fire and de- sire that is needed to make a playoff competitor. Should the Dunnies fail to make a playoff berth, it would be a severe blow to Manager Ivan Davie and Baker who have driven some 8,000 miles to help bring a championship team to the town of Whitby. Dwayne Ferguson paced the winners with two goals while Mike Pender and Derek Brockie, a former Dunnie, shared singles. Duncan Wilson was back in goal for Whitby and despite a determines effort did not get the protection that should have been afiorded him, Goaltender Gary Edwards earned his first shutout of the season for Weston.
