The American hockey team
gave quite q show today, present
ing their strongest team with
Moone at goal, Labatte and
Shaughnessy on defense, CARR
son at center and Smith and
Rowe at the wings. Against this
array, the Czechs never were able
to hit their top stride, the Amer1-
cans showing such an improve
ment over previous performances
as to be granted an outside
chance against the champion
Canadians, when and If they
meet.
Moone Deft at Net
Aided by some fine skating and
stick handling by the second line
Of Ross, Spain and StubbS, the
Yankees turned back the sporadic
Czech attack without undue
trouble, Moone saving the few
shots at the goal with deft work
in the nets.
The first period was scoreless,
so was the third. The Ameri-
cans playing only. to protect their
lead. But in the second, they
really turned on the heat.
Their passing was magnificent
at this point, only some heroic
goal tending by Peka kept the
score down. After being frus-
trated several times, Phil La
Bate, Minneapolis, finally came
charging up to the nets to take
a rebound from Spain'S stick and
beat Peka to the point.
Garrison Outskates Kucera
Then John Garrison, Boston,
the best Of the Americans today,
outskated Kucera to reach the
puck in front Of the goal and
| flip it past Peka for the second
| and final score. The latter had
blocked a long pass from Gordon
Smith, Winchester, Mass, but
was unable to recover in time to
stop Garrison's shot.
The Americans will take on q
comparatively easy opponent in
| Austria tomorrow, the latter hav.
ing lost to Sweden today by
/ to 0.
The victory for the American
sextet came near the close Of o
wild day in the 5O0-metre speed
skating event, in which the fav.
ored Americans were beaten by
Ivar Balangrud,, Norwegian vet
eran. and on the bob-run where
humans catapulted bout like
mail bags tossed from a speed
ing limited.
The favored American team,
headed by Hubert Stevens, Lake
Placid, almost left the course in
an effort to break the record the
first time but righted itself just
in time, while a capacity crowd
Shivered in morbid ecstacy.
Another American, Jim Bick-
ford, skittered off Bill Tyler's sled
on a turn but was snatched back
by Dick Lawrence at so miles per
hour.
Many in Hospital
The field hospital did a land
office business with italian, French
and German casualties as men
and empty sleds came plunging
down the treacherouS course. made
precarious by the icy blasts, in
virtual job lots.
When q halt was called to re-
pair both victims and the run, the
swiss team, headed by Kapatut,
was leading with a total time Of
2:43 37-100 for two deScentS.
The Stevens team first did
1:25:22, after its nearSpill. and
then came back with the best run
Of the day so far, 1:19:14, and was
conceded an excellent chance to
win.
The frigid temperature, biting
deep into human frames, was
kindly to NorSemen, with the re-
suit that Norway made something

having boiled himself down to

seem to bother him at all. At least.
not after he got his second wind"
and began punching Halaiko all
over the place.
Phil opened up after the fourth
round. He seemed to sense vic
tory then and proved the conten-
ton by Slugging, Slugging and
slugging some more at poor Mr..
Halaiko's .wearied body.
Left Is Good
The most pie sing bit of Furr's
attack was the use Of his left. which
normally is his weakest weapon.
It was this left that sent Halaiko
down for count Of eight in the
fatal ninth round.
The New Yorker got up, but
Furr was then ready with his
dynamite right. Halaiko went
down again, and q few moments
later, Referee SDinty Hughes
stopped the bout when Halaiko's
footing was too unsteady for him
to continue.
Big Crowd on Hand
Twenty-three hundred sat in on
the spectacle" It was the larg-
est boxing crowd Of the season.
They came to see a slugging
match and were rewarded even
though it was all in Furr'S favor.
Halaiko weighed 139; Furr, 1441s.

BY the Associated Press.
Debate on the SOL 10000 War De-
partment appropriation bill, originally
scheduled for passage earlier in the
week, will be resumed in the Senate
tomorrow, no discussion being sched-
uled today because of hot fight over
Mississippi iudgeship.
A final vote was delayed yesterday,
after opponents of compulsory military
training had been defeated by q 59-to-
18 vote, as a result of renewed debate
over airplaine contracts and the Flor
ida ship canal.
Debate cannot be resumed until Fri
day because today is expected to be
devoted to the nomination Of Edwin r.
Holmes of Mississippi to be a United
States circuit Judge. The two Missis-
sippi Standardization and Bilbo--
are engaged in hot political battle
Over the appointment.
Asks Vote Be Reconsidered.
Just before yesterdays recess, Sen
ator Truman, Democrat, of Missouri
moved to reconsider the 39-to-34 vote
by which the Senate Tuesday rejected
the Fletcher amendment to set aside
$l2,000,000 to continue the w. p. A
initiated 2oo-nile ship canal across
Northern Florida.
Truman was absent when the vote
was taken. Twenty-Five other SEN
atorS were either absent or paired,
Senator Fletcher. Democrat, of Florida
expressed to reporters a belief his
amendment would win on another test
by the voting of absentees. He said
one or two switches were possible.
Before the Truman motion can be
considered, move to reverse another
prior action must be disposed Of first.
1t Is a motion of Senator Frazier, Re-
publican, of North Dakota, to recon-
slider the approval given a committee
amendment eliminating House pro-
vision placing 10 per cent limit on
profits on contracts for complete air.
planes and ordnance material involv-
ing $4,000 or more.
Copeland Against Limitation.
Frazier contended bidders for such
contracts often were turned down in
favor of higher-bidding competitors.
He was supported by Senator Con-
nally, Democrat, of Texas, who called
attention to the recent investigation of
airplane contracts by House Military
Subcommittee.
Senator Copeland. Democrat, of
New York, in charge Of the bill, op-
posed the limitation and cited testi-
mony of Gen. Malin Craig, chief Of
staff, that it would stif1e research by
private manufacturers.
Only three Republicans-Frazier

 1000 Listened To Him
 More than 2,000 persons, many of them homeless, many of them wear ing bandages with arms in slings, many of them mourning relatives, met the presidential special. Before Mir Roosevelt appeared on the ob- servation platform he talked with William Carl Hunt, assistant disas- ter director of the American Red Cross for 20 minutes. Hunt told him that 165 bodies had been re- covered from Gainesville's ruins, that 31 persons were missing and believed dead, and that 1000 fam flies have registered for aid.
 Will Do Everything The president spoke extemporan- cously after receiving the report. The federal government has done and will do everything in It's power to make things easier for you," he said. There are sufferers like you in five other states. The federal government will stay on the job un- til the work of rehabilitation is finished"
 MT. Roosevelt allocated $2,50O,- 900 of emergency relief funds to the six tornado stricken states of the South before he returned from his Bermuda cruise. He indicated to local authorities that more money would be made available if neces- sary.

Morris, Commissioner of Aeronautics. Similar courses, already underway in New Haven and Stamford, have proven very popular and Colonel Page expects to start them in Hartford, Dan- bury, Meriden, and New London in the near future.

to run for lieutenant governor met with favor in all sections of the state. The other is that former congressman-at-large Charles M. Bakewell, New Haven, will be nom- mated to again face the incumbent, William M. Citron, Middletown.
 Danaher Eager Again
 Should Tilson and Bodenwein head the state ticket, 1t is reported not at all unlikely that former Sec retary of State John A. Danaher, Hartford, will be found seeking elec- ton to the office he held for one term. The republicans will have no worry about 8 candidate for attor- ney general this time, for Edward J. Daly, democrat, remains in that office another term. Candidates for comptroller and treasurer have hardly been seriously discussed.
 May Discard Higgins
 A scrap for the congressional nomination in the second district seems sure to develop. With the recent death of Elwyn T. Clark, Hig- ganum, Middlesex county leader, one of the reported packers of Dr. William L. Higgins, Coventry, pres ent member of the national house, the move to replace Higgins may become more than threat. Jajor John Buckley, Holland County leader, also reported to be solidly behind the incumbent, may not be able to prevail. Amorg those said to be seeking the nomination are former Lieutenant Governor Ernest E. Rogers, New London, Raymond F. Gates, commandant of the sol diers home at Noroton, and John M. Mallon, Jr., New London. Con gressman Higgins is said to have incurred the animosity of World War veterans in his district when he steadfastly opposed the soldiers bonus bill and in addition has vari- ous Father Coughlin groups opposed to him.
 Some COP. Like Cross
 Meanwhile the democratic chief tains are bending supreme efforts to bring together all factions in the state for tremendously solid vote for President Roosevelt and the state ticket. It is understood that Governor Cross will not head the ticket unless he feels reasonably certain of being elected. He IS re- ported to feel 1t his duty to run again at this crucial time, although he personally might like to retire It is also rumored that many re- publicans would like to see the gov ernor reelected but with the remain der of the state ticket republican,
