'February 1, 194 FOR ;ALL GOOD SPORTS 'By .Rfp .11.A.Logh Pros 10 real .bg This year'a race for;playoff Positions in the eastern division Of the National Hockey league looks like it will be a real dandy. After the weekend con- tests only three Paints separate the first five clubs in the established section of Clarence Campbell's loop. At the moment three clubs are tied for third place in the league standings and one of these teams will probably have a battle with the New York Ran- gers for the last playoff berth. The Rangers are cur- rently only two points back in fifth place. The Montreal Canadiens who now are in first place by a single point over Boston, Toronto and Chicago must have made some rigid New Year's reso- lutions. The Habs lost 3-1 to the Black Hawks on Christmas night and since then have been never worse than a tie and have a string of nine consecu- tive wins. The current NHL playoff scramble is quite comparable to the big battle for the 1967 champion- ship of the American baseball league when four teams were in contention for the top spot as late as the last week of the schedule. The fact that Harry Sinden has been stressing offensive play seems to be the reason the Boston Bruins are in the thick of things. To date the Bruins have scored 170 goals, which is 30 more than any of the other clubs that are in serious contention. The Detroit Red Wings, who are in the basement of the eastern division, have scored 158 times. While scoring more goals than any other club, the Bruins have also had more scored against them, with the exception of the same Red Wings. It has been a long time since the Boston Bruins were considered a power team in the National Hockey League, but the 'team's sudden resurgence this season to an eastern division contender is re- flected in the halfway season all-star balloting. The Bruins finished out of the NHL playoffs the past eight seasons, six 'in the cellar of the old six- team league. The team's power is shown in the fact it already had more points — 54 — at the halfway mark of the schedule, than it scored in each of the past seven seasons over a 70-game route. The NHL'S 12 coaches who made the all-star selections for the first time this season instead of sports writers and broadcasters, recognized Boston's change from a patsy role to the unusual air of first place. Bobby Orr, last season's rookie - of - the - year, polled a perfect 60 points. The young defenceman, who won't be 20 until March 20, joined centre Stan Mikita and left winger Bobby Hull of the Chicago Black Hawk as the only unanimous choices on the first team. Gordie Howe, an all-star right winger for 18 of his 21 seasons with the Red Wings, polled a near perfect 58 points to make the first club with goalie Johnny Bower and defenceman Tim Horton of To- ronto. The Bruins also placed Johnny Bucyk and John McKenzie on the second team. The Boston ag- gregation 'hasn't made such •a splash in the all-star selections in 21 years. Milt Schmidt, now the Bruins general manager was No. 1 centre in the 194647 sea- son and his wingers on the famous Kraut Line, Woody Dumart and Bobby Bauer made the second team that year as did Boston netminder Frank Brim- sek. In making the all-star selections, the coaches completely ignored the New York Rangers and all of the expansion clubs. In picking Johnny Bower of the Leafs as the top first-half goalie they sort of overlooked the work of Bernie Parent and Doug Favell of the Philadelphia. Flyers. Bower was given 25 votes while Parent gained 15 and Favell eight although they combined to allow the least number of goals of any club in either sec- tion of the league in the first 37 games played. HUSTLE PAYS DIVIDENDS A member of last year's Exeter midget hock- ey club is quickly becoming an important cog in the Stratford Burtol Junior "B machine. John Loader, who played up through the mi- nor ranks in Exeter, was last week elevated to the left wing position on the Stratford club's second line. Loader recently drew well deserved praise for his hustle from Burtol coach Al Murray. "There's a kid that gives a hundred percent. If they all worked like he does we wouldn't have too many problems." According to a story in the Stratford Beacon. Herald last week, John has turned out to be the hard luck Burtol for 1967-68. He continually bounces shots off goal posts and watches as others deflect wide, But his check seldom scores, a feature his coach likes. He picked up his third and fourth goals of the season in a game against Leamington a week ago. SIGHT RIGHT, PAY WRONG Frank Robinson's double vision has cleared up, but he does not see eye-to-eye with the Baltimore Orioles over the size of his 1968 contract. The slug- ging outfielder was examined last week by an eye specialist Who said Robinson should no longer be concerned about his eyes. Frank suffered a concussion in a base line collision last June 27 and missed a month of action because of double vision. He signed last Season for $100,000 after leading the Orioles to the 1968 Amer- ican League pennant and World Series title but was dissatisfied with his first 1968 'contract offer. It is believed he is seeking a raise of $10,000 to $15,000. BEGLEY'S English .Fish. and .Chips.

SUNDAY Sharks lead Legion darts The Dart Sharks maintained their five point lead atop the Exeter Legion mixed dart league after Friday's weekly play was completed. The Sharks now have a season total of 55 while the Hairpins continue in second with 50. A four point evening allowed the Cleaners to slip into third place with 49 points, one more than the Turtles. Well back in fifth and sixth spots with res- pective scores of 44 and 43 come the Itchy Four and Spares. The leaders in every depart- ment of the individual statistics were able to hang on to their margins at the top of the heap, although John Link increased his number of wins to 24, one more than the number recorded by Bill Smith. Last week's scores were: Cleaners 4 - Featherflights 1 Dart Sharks 3 - Turtles 2 Legionnaires 3 - Generals 2 Spares 3 - Itchy Four 2 Canners 3 - Four B's 2 Hairpins 3 - Shiphunters 2 School cagers continue losses The South Huron District High School basketball clubs were only able to come up with one win In eight starts in Huron-PerthCon- ference and exhibition play over the past week. The only victory for the local school was achieved by the junior girls over Seaforth by a 13-9 count at the South Huron gym Saturday as part of a six-game round robin series involving jun- ior and senior girls clubs from Seaforth, St. Marys and South Huron. In their other action of the day, the South Huron juniors were on the short end of a 22-6 score to St. Marys. Senior action saw the local girls suffer a double loss to St. Marys and Seaforth by re- spective scores of 26-9 and 21- 4. The boys' teams of the local high school ran into tough com- petition when they visited Strat- ford last Friday to meet Central Collegiate of that city. Bruce Shaw's seniors were snowed under '73-18 while the juniors tutored by Lyle Little were out- scored 67-18. The two South Miran boys clubs travelled to Parkhill Monday and met North Middlesex High School in an exhibition doubleheader and suffered the same fate they met in Stratford, although the scores were a.little closer. The South Huron juniors came on strong to score 14 points" in the final quarter but they fell a little short as Parkhill emerged victorious 32-27. Parkhill won the senior game quite handily by a score of 83-45. MARSHALL TOP SCORER Dave Marshall WAS the top tenth 'Matti junior point getter in their lett two outings. He scored nine points in, the loss to Stratford and came back with four field goals and two tree throws, good for ten points in Bob Rowe was in Clete thr.. suit in the scoring race notching seven points in the CieSalt City and coming back with nine more in the Middlesex county town.

The Bank- ers stayed close to the leaders as they thumped the Old Timers 8-4 in the night's wind-up con- test. The G & G club is in third place with loth' points to their credit and the Old Timers trail in the basement as the result of a single season Win.

The high flying Dresden Kings continue in first place while the Alyinston Flyers are in ,second spot two points ahead of the Hawks. The same Alvinston club Will be at the Exeter arena Friday at 8:30 in a game that will give Bob Baynham's Hawks a chance to grab a share of second spot. Friday's regular schedOled game with Blenheim was post, poned when the visitors were unable to find enough equipment to ice a club, A flash fire in the furnace room of the Blenheim arena more than a week ago destroyed the majority of the junior team's pads and skates. An exhibition game was played between the Crecliton Tigers of the WOAA and the Hawks and the 454 fans that thowed up got more than their money's worth as the two clubs battled to a 6-6 tie. The same two clubs will get another chance on February 10 to determine which is the better when they meet in the windup game of local Minor Hockey Day. BACK TO HAUNT A member of last year's Ex- eter Hawk club, Dennis Morris- sey came back to haunt his for- mer mates Friday night as he scored three times to enable the Crediton Tigers to gain a 6-6 tie. Morrissey scored the equal- izer with 18 seconds left in the game on a power play with the Crediton net empty and six for- wards on the attack. The sixth Crediton goal was scored on a neat passing play that included Pat McKeever and. Jamie Robb, a student at Centralia Agricul- tural School and a former top Ilderton minor star. Play was fairly even through the first period as each team scored twice. Scott Burton and Bill Chipchase were the Exeter goal getters while Morrissey and Fred Lamb replied for Crediton.
