if -- @ 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, April 2, 1966 SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR ALL IN DARK! We espected the record crowd of the season at Oshawa Civic Auditorium tonight (they had a little over 4,600 last Saturday night) but instead, the place will re- semble a morgue and the parking lot, instead of being jammed, crammed and confused, will be a nice lonely spot for the boy friend who hasn't got enough gasoline to drive too far out in the country. You can put all the blame on the Kitchener Rangers. They were definitely not expected to grin over Marlboros, right in Maple Leaf Gardens on Thursday night, but they did! It was really a 3-2 triumph but officially, it was 4-2 -- Kitchener potted one in an empty net in the last few seconds of play. Now coach "Gus" Bodnar and his cohorts have their problems. They have been ordered to go into: Kitchener on Saturday afternoon, for their 8th game of the series, actually a replay of that 4-4 tie they had last Friday night. IF (and that's always been a big word) Oshawa Gen- erals had resorted to calling in OHA President Matt Leyden, a loyal Oshawa Generals member, to put the push on, it's not beyond the possibility -- like only one week ago -- Osh- awa could have insisted that Marlboros and Kitchener de- cide their series with that 8th game replay, tonight -- and the winner play in Oshawa on Saturday night. That's exactly the situation the Generals had to cope with. (Sorry, we ended a sentence with.a preposition -- and that's one thing you should never do, end a sentence with with) ... But if Matt Leyden wasn't the sincere type that he is -- Oshawa Gen- erals could have had an edge in this series and we'd still have had a Saturday night attraction. But we don't care -- frankly, we feel that this could be another Wren Blair year --and if those boys on the Oshawa team keep playing the way they can, then Oshawa will win the Memorial Cup. We think that all individual players have got the message -- this is their great big, glorious chance and if they don't give everything they've got -- everything -- to "cash in" -- then they will have passed up the opportunity of a lifetime, not only that, an opportunity that 90 per cent of Junior AP "ae players don't even get. Go -- Generals -- Go! CAPSULE SPORT -- This 'has got to be confusing, be- cause of date-lines, but today, in Scarborough, three Oshawa softball men are seeking election to the OASA executive. Frankly, we hate to disappoint at least two of them, but they haven't a chance. OASA elections follow a pattern of "representation" and with the entire province to be accom- modated, it's very rare that they have two men from the same centre on the OASA executive at the same time -- it happened once -- Oshawa! WE UNDERSTAND that Etobicoke and Westclair will play their 7th and deciding game this weekend, but whether or not the winner will be ordered to open the OHA playoff round in Oshawa, on Mon- day night, is doubtful... JACK HOBBS checks in with the information that after 20 years (?) running the Oshawa Um- pires Association, he is turning over the reins to Michael "Spike" Yourkevich. Jack also requested some information, re lacrosse -- yes, Ontario (Canada) had a professional! la- crosse league in the early 30's -- that's when "Bucko' Mc- Donald became a hockey player and "Flash" Hollett tried to become a lacrosse player. Teddy Reeve, Bill Coulter, "Chuck" Barron, Kelly DeGray, Walker Wilson, and a lot more of Oshawa's former Mann Cup champions played in that pro lacrosse loop ... AMBITION: Willie Mays is work- ing so hard at the spring training camp that Giants' man- ager Herman Franks has ordered Willie to "ease up" .?). TORONTO LEAFS open their baseball season at home, on May 5 -- first time in years, they haven't ha dan April "opening day" ...OSHAWA HAWKS defeated London 3 M's here Thursday night 67-58, in the first game of their home-and-home, total-point series.

(AP)--A circuit judge made it clear Friday he is going to put heavyweight jchampion Cassius Clay in jail if he doesn't. start paying ali- mony to the wife he divorced here 244 months ago. Neither Clay nor Sonji, his ex-wife, made it to the sched- uled hearing on Clay's failure to pay $1,250 a month alimony and $22,500 in attorney's fees. Judge Harold Spaet said Clay was 'in contempt of this court." He directed that when Clay comes to court he must be pre- pared to answer questions as to why -he hasn't made any ali- mony payments. Then 'he indi- cated he might jail Clay. "Tl put in my order that jupon payment of 'x' dollars he can get out of jail,. because }when you put a man in jail for contempt you have to give him the key," he said. The hearing was rescheduled for noon Tuesday after Clay's \lawyer promised that Clay would be back in Miami by then.

Boston and New York are waging their own little battle for second-last place in the stand- ings. 'Bruins and Rangers are tied for fifth spot with 46 points, 27 behind fourth-place Detroit. In the event of a tie, fifth place would go to the team with the most wins over the season. The Bruins, who have one game remaining, have won 20 games to date while the Rangers, with two games left to play, have 18 wins. He's Already King, But | He's Eyeing White House ~ NE WYORK (AP) -- Heavy | weight champion Cassius Clay, subdued and talking softly, sug- gested off the cuff on a televi- sion show Friday night that he run for vice-president of the United States. "I was in the White House just the other day," Clay said, tongue obviously in cheek, "and I was talking with Mr. Presi- dent Johnson. 'And I said to Mr. President Johnson that when the next election comes along, I ought to run for vice-president and he'd be elected for four years for sure. "Then come. "So I told him there were three reasons. "First of all, he'd get all the Negro votes. Second he'd get all the Black Muslim votes and the unions." Clay, who was introduced on the Johnny Carson Show by his Black Muslim name of Muham- med Ali, then apparently lost count in his enjoyment of the moment and went immediately to point No. 4. COULD GO ANYWHERE "Four, it would be the great- est life insurance in the world. I told him he could go anywhere he wanted, could take Mrs. President Johnson to the super- market or anything. "Then he wanted to know why, and I told him how much safer can he get. 'Who in the devil is gonna do you any harm when a Black Muslim is gonna be the next president' 'He said he'd think about it." Clay then settled back in his chair in obvious satisfaction and added: he asked me _ how Cornwall Whips Halifax ° In Junior Playoff Game CORNWALL (CP) -- Corn-; wall Royals took a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven Eastern Can- jada junior hockey quarter-final | series Friday night, drubbing Halifax Junior Canadiens 11-2.
