ta ae ii paps ig Pn aay Connelly Shai "SPORTS BEAT - By Eric Wesslby Times Sports Editor dines *.. Jack Gatecliffe; sports editor of the St. Catharines Standard, is somewhat sceptical over the recent shifting of Bill Little and Jim Whittaker from Oshawa Generals to wNiagara Falls Flyers. He thinks it was more than coinci- = dental that Flyers should be in trouble and receive help from a club which has a working agreement with the same National League club as Niagara Falls. Had the move been made prior to the opening of the season, Jack os: have gone along with it, but not once the season has WE CAN'T understand why a move this early in the peason would cause such a stir, Generals had a surplus in two positions, so why not release the players early, And why not keep peace in the family by offering them to a = club which is in the same chain. Black Hawks lopped off = defenceman Glen Sherwood and forward Jim Stanfield, @ 'sending both to London. You can bet Generals weren't = offered either plaver. We could see a bit of eyebrow raising had Generals waited until later in the season but not inis eariy. S2R FLAG ON TESTER TS OSHAWA HOCKEY fans get a chance to view Generals on television tonight as the club meets the Red Wings in Hamilton. And should Generals need any object lessons, they'll have a chance to see just what mistakes they make when the film is shown Sunday morning. Saturday night, Little and Whittaker will be at Civie Auditorium > with their new mates, and this should be an entertaining evening.
