OWPABIO ' PAGE ?HTRTE~ ~ -SPORT NOTES i M By Doug Glynu 1~1 .,.l have been outskated and the teamn will be getting jbrious conditionîng ater the New Year". That was Coach ic 'hker"' Crombie's answer when we asked "what happened" tO his Cdfibines over the past weekend. His answer was certainly satisfactory and we agree 100 ploetcnt *hen he says "Combines were outskated".- Not only Wft* tbey outskated, but they looked doggedly tired. Their pass- JJ lP*Ys, usually executted with finesse, wouldn't even click as feu victim to the cellar dwelling Lindsay Regents here on #$Ç*tday evenlng. Due For Upset Only those superstltious fans would stop to think that iWriday the 13th had anythlng to do with their loases. We think Combines had been bucking heavy odds since they took their sixth bti~ght wln. The fact they would eventually be beaten, was inevitible. But any team that wlns 10 out of 12 games in their own Ieggue certainly deserves better fan support than B.O.C.'s have bftn receiving. They were due for a boss. It not only gave Coach Croitbie a chance to see his weak links, but showed us they will have ta strengthen if they have any hopes o! being opposition in the Ontarlo playoffs, should they be a participant. The lads will have a good rest over the holidays, some- thini we think they could use. They don't swing back into action, league wise, until Friday, January 3. Between now and then they will b. playing two exhibition games. One in Rochester on Sun- day, and another with Napanee. At present no date has been set for the Napanee contest. Midget Ail-Stars FInd Sponsor Bowmanville is going to have an All-Star Midget team this year, we learned yesterday. "Sammy" Cale, proprietar of A. E. Cale, Plumbing and Heating, has kîndly offered to sponsor such, a club. Mr. Cale will supply the team with ice time, if iC is available, and new sweaters. He will be the club president. Veteran Coach Irv McCullough, Newcastle, has offered his services and Norm Bothwell will be manager. To Enter Ontario Playoffs Norm informa us the team will get a bye into the Ontario Playoffs which begin in January. Any boy whose l6th birthday was celebrated after August 1, is welcome to try out with the team. Their first practice will be held this Saturday, starting at 3 p.m. Players are reminded ta be there on time with their' equipment. We would like ta take time ta say thanks ta Mr. Cale for bis keen interest in promoting young hockey talent in Bow- mnanville. Interest such as this is shown by many local merchants, and we feel they should' certainly be congratulated for this excellent contribution ta their community. Where To Put It ? A couple of weeks back we asked what Combines would do with the Rochester Challenge Trophy, should they win it this Eunday. There certainly won't be space for it in the trophy rcabinet at the Arena, as it is already overcrowded. Not only that, but we recently learned there are several ether trophies, won by local teams over the past years, which are Iying ,around gathering dust. To us this doesn't seem the proper way t o care for something donated by a private individual or firm. Nor is it a fair way of honouring those teams which won the trophy for Bowmanville. . After all, when a man is considerate enough to donate a trophy er sports competition, that trophy should receive the best ffre by its winners. But, as we said, many of ours are just lying around gathering dust. We think this also occurs in other towris, but we believe it should be rectified in Bowmanville. A Remedy There is a possible remedy for this problem, and no *tetter an opportune time te present it. Why couldn't some .àhJrested person or group build a new trophy case, one large at the Arena. This would net only eboîster sports somewvhat, but would show visitors just how urtsminded our people are. We think this would be an excellent project, especiafly with the Centennial just around the corner. We should be proud of Bowmanville's fine accomplishments in the sports world, and this would give us and our visitors a reminder of them. Other Locations Possible 0f course if the Arena doesn't seem like a suitable loca- tion, we have a couple of others in mind. The Lions Centre seems ideal, since many sports banquets and activities are held there. Then there is the new public library building, which will undoubtedly be used by most visitors and local people. However, in each of the above cases the permission of the service club involved would have to be obtained. But, we don't feel anyone would meet any obstacles in their endeavour, since both clubs have fine records of supporting community projects. AROUND THE TOWN.....Local curling enthusiasts are really active these days at Oshawa Curling Club, which has one of the finest curling rinks in this area. Among the local curlers enjoying the sport there on Monday and Thursday even- ings are: Wilf Kitson, E. W. Crawford, L. Dippeli, L. M. Roenigk, W. Courtney, W. S.

There are stili more than 100 tickets ta be sold on the Robson iPontlacs car draw and the date for the draw is just around the corner. We think Bill Steven is doing a fine job in sponsoring this Junior Club and urge ah srortsminded persons to lend their sjupport. Buy a chance on the auto, remember it la your season pass to Junior hockey . . . . Gary Hancock, Newcastle, has passed lus National Rifle Association instructor's course and will be one of the mnen giving instructions in the new hunter's training school we toid you about last week. We hope te have more inforfation on this for you younger sportsmen in the very near future .... We hear that the Bantams and Pee-Wees are playing some thrill- Ing hockey Saturday mornings.'

Lakeshore Intermediate "A" hockey fray at Memorial Arena It was Combines second ls of the weekend, and Regents' second win of the season. They had deéfeated Cobourg Rackets 7-2, Friday night, and the sweet smell of victory kept them rolling. Lindsay showed their fight early in the game by holding their own in a fracas which broke out behind the B.O.C. cage. Combines' Bill Cherry and aryCopeland were sent ta the sin bin along with Lind- say's Paul Doris and Grant Green for their part in the brawl. SDrop Early Lead B.0.C.'s sizzied out after Keith West gave them the lead at 9.14. He took a pass frorr. Gerry Robinson in front and flipped it in from the right cor- ner. Larry BaIl tallied the equal- izer as he and Grant Green found themselves unchecked in front of the Combines' net at 16.38. Just 29 seconds later he gave Lindsay the edge as he whistled a hard shot from point blank range. Lindsay RalIy For Edge Paul Doris scored the -win- ning goal in the opening min- utes o! the middle frame. He took a pass from behind the nets and let loase with a 10 foot slap shot from in front. Don Kelly flipped the puck aver Hawe at the midway mark ta give Lindsay a 4-1 lead. Larry Bail roared in from a breakaway at 3.07 of the final stanza ta notch his hat trick. His slow shot rolled past Ross Hawe and into the riglit corner. Defenceman Frank Hooper, making his first home ice op- pearance of the season for Combines, scored their final goal. He flipped the puck In the left corner after Don Mercer fed himi a pass from the blue- ine. The art of conversation con- sista as much in listening politely, as in talking agreeably.ý -George Atwell. Pontiacs on Short End SeemSaw Aurora Game Aurora Bears outhustled Rab- son Pontiacs to triumph 6-5, in a see-saw Junior "C" hockey match at Memorial Arena Wed- nesday of last week. Once ajialn it was a haphaz- ard defence style that led to Pontiacs' downfall. Aurora's overwhelming fore - checking kept them hemxned in their own end for n-ost of the 60 minutes. Goalie Vince Vanstone saved the locals from further embar- rassment as he sped around his cage turning back 44 shots. It was his first tour since being sidelined with a shoulder in- jury a week ago. After the game he looked like he would need another week's rest to re- cover from the hectic evening. Lorne Payne gave Pontiacs an early lead with his goal at 1.48. However the visitors were ciuick bo retaliate and goals bY Gary Bonham and Dan Rutlidge left them ahead 2-1 when the period ended. Ted Fairey tied the score nt 4.33 ot the middle frame, while Pontiacs had a one man advan- tage. George Lawrence regain- ed the lead for them wlth a long shot two minutes later. Keith Browning was quickc with the equalizer for Aurora as he scored less than a minute later. Mort Richards put Bow- manville ahead again at, 7.54. before Bears reclaimed the lead on goals by Bob Hodgson and Danny Rutlidge. Richards opened the scoring in the final period to deadlock the game for fifth time. Gary Bonham's second goal of the night at 7.28 was the tie break- er that gave Bears the win. i M Free!
