~ Simons _§ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondey, Ape 4, 1968 Final Opens Tonight, All Eyes On Goalies Oshawa hockey fans and their counterparts in Kitchener have been making similar noises for the past month or so. "He's a great goalie," they've been saying. 'The big reason we're in the final." The only difference is, they're talking about Ian Young in Osh- awa and Gary Kurt in Kitchen- er. All indications are the two goalies will be the key figures in the best-of-seven OHA final between Oshawa Generals and Kitchener Rangers. The series opens tonight at Civic Auditor- ium at 8.15. "Young and Kurt have been the two hottest goalies in the playoffs," Oshawa general man- ager Wren Blair said after learn- ing Rangers had advanced to? the final against his club. 'They ® could very well decide the out come of the series." Blair had praise for Rangers, who eliminoted Toronto Mar!- boros Saturday. "They've been going much like our own club," he said. "Both teams are fired up, and that should make for a great final." The series will be the first Oshawa-Kitchener OHA final in 31 seasons. Oshawa Majors de- feated Kitchener Greenshirts in 1935, but the OHA sub-execu- tive lifted the title less than 24 hours after the final game. Reason for the decision was an over-age player in the Osh- awa line-up -- Bill Bagnell. It was little consolation that the committee exonorated Majors from blame. Goaltending also played a ma- jor role in that series, with Osh- 'awa's Jerry Peterson playing some of the finest hockey of his gareer. Greenshirts boaste d Sunday Curlers Annual Closing Th e Sunday Curlers' group, at fhe Oshawa Curling Club, clo- ged out their seasons activi-| ties yesterday, with their an-| nual bonspiel, banquet and prize presentations. | Two-six end games were play-| ed, with the rink of "Barney"| Worden, Steve Piper, Doug Blair and Bob Mercer, skip, taking top honors, with two wins and a total of 13 points. Runners - up were Marcus Long, Oscar Parker, Les Cor- rie and George Campbell, skip, with one win and six points. In third place were Arn Broadbent, Herb Robinson, Pete and "Casey" Luke, with one win, for four skip, points. Next in line came Tom Dob-| bie, Doug Taylor, Reg Fair and Rae Halleran, skip and they were closely followed by "Son- ny" Patterson, 'Rocky' Guilt- inan, Bob Skitch and Les Har- rison, skip, who in turn were followed by George Worden, "Cam" Henderson, "Preem" Whiteley and Roy Whittington, tional Hockey League's famed Kraut line. The series starts tonight at the insistence of the Generals. Blair felt it wise to cut Osh- awa's layoff as short as pos- sible. Generals have been idle since eliminating Montreal Jun- ior Canadiens a week ago Sun- day. GENERALS READY Wren reported his club in top physical Condition. Bill White has responded favorably to heat treatment for pulled knee liga- ments picked up in the semi- final. ; Blair also squelched a rumor that Bobby Orr's back has been giving him trouble recently. "There's no truth in that what- soever," he said. "'Bobby is one hundred per. cent."' While Brian Morenz is through | for the season, doctors had him on skates last week. His pro- gress is reported excellent, and Generals expect him back next season. : ek > ai i 'ore! Generals travel to Kitchener seen prone See peckey yeze?

The Rangers eliminated the favored Marlboros after eight games, with the finale before /7,023 cheering Kitchener fans. Rangers won the series 4-3 with one game tied.

Once again, it was tenacious Ranger checking and sparkling work by Kitchener netminder Gary Kurt that stifled the Marl- boro attack Saturday. Toronto held a 35-28 edge in shots on goal, but Kurt made numerous fine saves, including a brilliant stop on Tom Martin with 90 sec- onds left.

CORNWALL (CP) -- Halifax Junior Canadiens shook off a 2-0 first-period deficit Sunday to squeeze past Cornwall Royals 3-2 and cut the Royals' margin in their best-of-seven Eastern| Canada Junior A quarter-final) to 2-1. Centre Paul MacWilliams' second goal of the game on a power-play slapshot at 8:46 of the third period gave the Cana- diens the win after they had tied the score 2-2 in the second.
