Jhe Ottawa "Journal 13 PHIL NETS TWO IN 2-2 TIE Friday, December 6, 1968 Tony By MICHAEL BENNETT Canadian Press Staff Writer Phil Esposito may have been guilty of giving away family secrets Thursday night, but apparently none of his Boston Bruin teammates were listening. The 208 -pound centre scored two goals on his younger brother Tony to salvage a 2-2 tie for the Bruins with Montreal Canadiens and raalfe the first full National Hockey League game for the 25 -year -old goal-tender a frustrating experience. The tie for Montreal coupled with Detroit Bed 1 "mi mm Til ii There's plenty of room to climb, but Ottawa S7s did a fine job of this week's road trip and appear tonight at the Civic Centre against Oshawa Generals fresh from last night's victory oveTNhe league leaders Before the trip coach Bill Long seemed extremely optimistic his club was going to, be clicking from here in, and two victories this week on' the road including the last over Peterborough suggests William had more than just an idea The arrival here of Doug Keeler from Niagara Falls has been a boon to the 67s Keeler has had a sore ankle, but is a smooth centreman and set up a couple of goals in the Thursday win Keeler is attending Glebe Collegiate and has his heart set on making the majors Which is the right way to point He's impressed fans here as being a good, thinking performer who's going to help What's more he wants to help However, Bill Long' seems generally heartened by the way the young club is responding They've already collected more goals than all of last year, and last night they afforded young Doyle solid protection from a defensive standpoint. BAIRD A NOTED PLAYER Jake Gaudaur is still against some nf the changes suggested for Canadian football Jake usually makes good sense on anything about footoball, and that's why he was such a popular choice as commissioner So. it will probably surprise him and a few others to hear that former great Canadian star, Joe Krol, thinks there should be four downs in the Canadian game Billy Baird, who died was one of the finest hockey players developed in the early part of the century Baird won a reputation as a durable and versatile defenceman, or cover-point in those days around 1907 He played with Ottawa and twice played in Stanley Cup competition in Western Canada where he was wilh Portage La Prairie At one time they engaged a special train in the West to carry him from Winnipeg in order to join his team for a match He also played in the north country in the colorful days of Cobalt and Haileybury Billy Baird for years was with Ottawa Motor Sales, a man of fine character and highly popular He rated with finest players of his day, and his death removes a link with the early days of the game in Canada.

OTTAWA GIRL TO EDMONTON Ottawa track star Helen Cooper has been chosen from this city as one of the athletes to take part in the Royal Canadian Legion's second annual track and field clinic at Edmonton Dec. 27-31 Bob Robertson, of Cornwall, is another athlete who'll be attending the clinic sponsored by Mrs. David Henderson, of Ottawa, who gave the Legion $44,000 for a winter training program Geoff. Dyson returns from England for the occasion and Hairy Jerome will join the coaching staff There's one boxing buff here who gets 'mad' regularly over the efnphasis on the dangers of boxing while giving other sports a clean sheet We expect to find him sending along a recent quotation by the noted racing driver Masten Gregory in the January Esquire Says Gregory: "It's going fast that matters The crash is inherent in racing, its bound to happen, because the whole point of the exercise is to run the car so fast it's just skimming the edge of control-loss all the time, and if you live through your first couple of emergency situations, that's likely to be pure luck The late Jim Norris would have loved that When they criticized boxing he'd be on that theme. EVEN FOR HAMILTON GAMES An item the other day announced that the Prince George Hotel in Toronto was being torn down soon Made this corner think of covering his first Rough Rider trip to Toronto back in The late 20s That's where the team stayed then, and even for Hamilton games They'd stay in Toronto and take the bus over to Hamilton, play the game and return to Toronto The last stay at the Prince George was an uncomfortable one a few years ago While we tried to beat out a story in the early morning hours, a deep and distressed masculine voice from the next room kept repeating: "Why the hell can't some people work in the day time." Early next morning I slipped a note under the guy's door, apologized and unable to resisf adding: "I've wondered the same thing myself for many a year." One man called about the 1948 Calgary-Rough Rider game and seemed to put all the blame on Pete Karpuk for not recovering the fumbled ball when Weedy Strode picked it up and paved the way for a winning touchdown Forced to tell them that Pete, who could come back from an error like a champion, wasn't the only one AS a matter of fact.

Strode took some time bout picking it up until Chuck Anderson yelled at him: "Pick It up, and run like hell." Three years later Karpuk picked off one of the niftiest and most welcome TD passes of them all against Regina Roughriders to "Ottawa Ten will get you 20 from a gambler any time that Rough Riders went by the name "Senators" at one time Naturally memory plays tricks, and in Toronto recently Tony Golab felt that he 'had thrown the ball to Karpuk on that much discussed play It was Paffrath.
