\ ' THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, Getoder 18, 1966 'SPORTS BEAT By Eric Wesslby "Times Sports Editor Oshawa Generals had good and bad news Monday. First coach Ted O'Connor received word "that forward Chris Hayes would return to the club for this season. Then George Babcock looked sharp enough to be inserted into the lineup tonight at London. That was the good mews. Late in Monday's practice, however, right winger Fred O'Donnell and Paul Cadieux slammed into a corner and O'Donnell emerged with a possible broken thumb. HAYES RETURN is sure to boost Generals' stock. And it's a credit to the team that it showed so well in the early going without Babcock, who is being counted upon to take up much of the scoring slack caused by the loss _ of forwards such as Wayne Cashman and Danny. O'Shea. O'Connor had Babcock working the right boards on a line with Bill White and Bill Scott Monday, and this could be AN efiective thiccoume. Absonices st the work. out, at least on the ice, were Danny Sandford (injured pe a Morenz (charley horse), and Chris Roberts working). GENERALS HEAD for London tonight and a tilt with Turk Broda's Nationals. Hockey's fabulous fat man inherited a last-place club but had the team off and run- ning in its first home start, upending Peterborough Petes. Broda has only one defenceman back from last year, but picked up Bill Horton from the Generals. Horton was with the Crushmen last season. GENERALS WILL have to be a lot shaprer tonight than they were Sunday at Peterborough. Maybe it was just a case of two games in less than 24 hours this early in the season. Lack of shooting has hurt the club in early games, but this is one department that should improve. Generals haven't lacked for goaltending, with Ian Young playing well. But the team can't expect goalkeeping and the defence to keep it up every night. It has to be a com- bined effort. HIGH SCHOOL football ends at the league level this weekend and something, that should be given a great deal of thought before next season is the availability of medical help for injured players. One of these nights a player is going to be seriously injured. Serious injuries are more prevalent in football than any other sport because of the frequency of bodily contact. On any play, at least 12 players usually make contact with each other.

Monday as British Colum- bia Lions kept their Western Football Conference playoff hopes alive with a 13-9 victory before 18,000 fans. Quarterback Pete Liske was hauled down by Greg Findlay and Pokey Allen on the B.C. three-yard line after a 15-yard romp on the last play of the game. The verdict left B.C. alone in the conferen¢e. basement, one point behind Calgary and Ed- monton Eskimos, tied for third place. Saskatchewan Roughrid- ers, assured of the league cham- pionship, are first and Winnipeg Blue Bombers second. Each club has two games re- maining. Liske spearheaded a fourth- quarter passing attack against a strong wind as the Stamped- ers attempted to overcome a shaky start. A two-yard plunge by Larry Eilmes, and Bill Mitchell's place - kicking accounted for B.C.'s scoring. Mitchell earned five points on a field goal, a convert and a single on a wide field - goal attempt. A conceded safety touch completed.the to- tal. Ron Payne took a pass from Liske in the third quarter for the Calgary touchdown. Larry Robinson converted and: added two singles on wide field-goal at- tempts. B.C. coach Dave Skrien praised an outstanding catch by Willie Fleming on the last play of the third quarter as the turn- ing point. Eilmes barged over on the first play of the fourth quarter. The Lions, weary in their sec- ond game of the weekend, con- trolled the ball in the third quar- ter against a wind that gusted to about 35 miles an hour. The Stampeders, who totalled only 27 yards rushing as they concen- trated on a passing attack, struck against the wind in the fi- nal stages. Statistics were virtually even. Each club managed 18 first downs. Calgary compiled 272 yards passing and B.C. 194 rushing. Quarterback Joe Kapp of B.C, completed nine of 13 at- tempts and Liske and Jerry Keeling of the Stampeders com- bined for 17 completions in 35 attempts.
