pi De RR ce AA RO NAAR PT EP TIMES LEO LES AE IORI OE 6 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, December 29, 1966 SS ES EAI ABSA Le ABLE Re oR BTN A SPORTS BEAT By Eric Wesslby Times Sports Editor Niagara Falls' Derek Sanderson, with an opportunity to _ show 7,000 hockey fans why he is one of the top junior players in the country, came out of last night's hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens with 'egg all over his face. Sanderson, who played a reasonably good game, picked up a double penalty late in the. game between the Ontario Hockey Association Junior "A" All-Stars and the Czecho- slovakian national team, thus nullifying any chances the juniors had of overcoming a 3-2 deficit, Sanderson took a two minute minor for charging and then picked up a major for spearing. FOR A WHILE it appeared the juniors, with the Gen- erals' Ian. Young providing strong goalkeeping, might up- _ set the highly touted visitors, but the experience of the Europeans was evident once the third period rolled around. Two players who had seen little action until the third, defenceman Jiri Machac and left winger Rudolf Havel, provided the touring side with a little extra. WHILE SANDERSON ruined his performance with stupid penalties, some of the other juniors emerged with better reputations. Young was easily the pick of the juniors, despite the four goals that beat him. Original plans called for Hamilton's Gerry Gray to take over net- minding duties halfway through the second period but manager Jim Gregory talked coach Eddie Bush into leaving Young in goal. GENERALS' NICK Beverley and Marlboros' . Brian Glennie committed themselves well on defence, while up front, Mickey Redmond of Peterborough was the top per- former. He caught the fancy of one Czechoslovakian sitting next to me and despite the Janguage barrier we wound up in full agreement. London's Gary Unger, after a slow start, played well, as did Toronto's Mike Byers. GENERALS SWING back into league play tonight, fol- lowing more than a week of holidays, with a game at Hamilton against the Red Wings. Gord Myles will handle duties tonight while suspended coach Ted O'Con- nor looks. on. Bob Dionne, who handled the club last week, has to pilot the junior "B" Crushmen at Picton tonight. Saturday afternoon, at three o'clock, Toronto Marlboros make their second appearance on Oshawa ice. ANOTHER YEAR will soon come to an end. It's been a emorable one for Oshawans. Foremost achievement was triumphant march of the Green Gaels to their fourth- Canadian junior lacrosse championship, something club had ever achieved. What does 1966 hold in this group of youngsters? With only one player use of over-age, the club must be considered a definite title threat once again. And winning a Canadian title in 1967, our Centennial year, would be a worthwhile achievement. WHILE GREEN GAELS had a great season, the junior "A" hockey Generals were only a whisker off giving the city two Canadian championships in a year. Victory might well have been the Generals, had Bobby Orr been able to go at full strength in that Memorial Cup series with Ed- monton Oil Kings. But the Generals could still lay claim to the title of the best in the east. THEREE WERE a couple of Ontario champions from Oshawa also. In softball, "s Lumber won the Ontario senior "'B" title while. ity Fuels' boys won the OASA Midget divisional title. In lacrosse, the juvenile Green Gaels were victorious. Many other clubs weren't far off victims of being drawn against the league's two top teams, co- leaders in the standing, Ac- counts Payable and Engineer- ing. Chassis Plant dropped a 49-20 decision to the Engineers and floor to make a determined ef- championship form.

(CP) --| Russia's national hockey team, continuing to make a shambles of Atlantic provinces' teams, hammered Saint John 19-0 in an exhibition game Wednesday. It was the third consecutive slaughter by the Russians who walloped Corner Brook Royals 28-0 Friday and St. John's Cap- itals 18-1 Monday. Saint John, an intermediate A entry in the Southern New Brunswick League, managed only one shot on goal in the first period. The Russians got three goals from Yuri Pazamoskin and two from Alexander Almetov, Igor Romishewski, Victor Polupa- nov, Yuri Moiseev, Viadimar Juzzinov and Edward Ivanov. The others went to Veniamin Alexandrov, Alexander Ragulin, 'Victor Yakushevy and Vladimar Blinov.

By THE CANADIAN PRESS Pancho Villa went out of his weight 44 years ago to- night--in 1922 -- and out- boxed bantamweight Terry Martin over 15 rounds.

In Wednesday night's other Group 2 contest, Brynaes of Sweden defeated Djurgaarden of Sweden 5-4. The Canadians and Leksand now have three points each in Group 2, followed by Brynaes with two and Djurgaarden with none. In Group 1, Aik of Stockholm beat Trude Och of the Soviet Union 8&3 and Soedertaelje of Sweden downed Vaseteraas of Sweden 8-4.

The visitors, for the first two periods, played a_ waiting game, showing a reluctance to shoot unless in a good scoring position. In the third period, however, they started to force the play. ' Trailing 2-1 going into the third, Czechoslovakia capital- ized on an All-Star penalty to tie the score in the second min- ute of play, Left winger Jiri Holik, who ' earlier in the game had talked himself into a 10-minute mis- conduct, scored the third and fourth goals, the second com- ing with the All-Stars a man short.

NO SUBSTITUTES Chassis Plant had a bare five- man team for their first game and Engineering had only six, which resulted in the Engineers running wild in the last half against the tired Chassis Plant boys, who were leading 14-13 at the halfway mark. Engineering came on to out- score their rivals 36-6 in the last two quarters, for the 49-20 total. Bob Souch, Don Degazio, each with 11 points; Bob Rey- nolds, tops with 13; Johnny Campbell five, Carl Cheski seven and Ken Hickey two, made up their total.

Young stopped Grandtner on a breakaway in' the second period and made several other fine stops, especially on Jiri Holik, Holocek held Czechoslovakia in the game midway through the third period as the juniors exerted pressure during a power play. He made a fantas- tic stop on Niagara Falls' Derek Sanderson on a_ blast from the point, then robbed Sanderson seconds later although lying on the ice. Shortly after they returned to full strength, the visitors went ahead as Havel cut down the right wing, steered Dorey away from him with one hand and slipped a perfect pass out to Jiri Holik. With time running out on the juniors, Sanderson ruined what- ever chances they had by pick- ing up a minor and major penalty and the Czechosloya- kians completed scoring with Jiri Holik converting brother Jarsolav's pass.
