Charley Jacks, guards, and
Howard Dunbar. center, other
carry-oNerSL from the-Reds, first

tars already have whipped Alma,
Michigan Normaland= Ohio Wes-
leyan. suffering their lone setback
to Purdue's powerful Boiler
makers.
The Wayne starting lineup will
show no new faces. Ron Roble
and Bill Kineefy are slated for
the forwards, with Bill Van Week,
center. and Gerard Richards and
Leonard Myron, at the guards.

CROSSE is PRAISED


The Hawks, who missed George
Allen and Johnny Chad, hardly
had a chance to show their offense
all night despite the efforts OF
Mush March and Doug Bentley.
Adams and all the spectators, in
Guiding the Hawks, credit this to
the Wings great forechecking, in
which Don Crosse was again at his
best. The Count from the Cana
dian 500 waded and twisted
through enemy sticks and bodies
all night TO break up countless
plays in the Chicago zone. He
drew several ovations when he
came up with the puck after a
rough scramble with two or three
Hawks.
That Adams IS not the only
manager with problems was indi-
Gated by the play of Johnny Mari
ucci. former Minnesota football
player on the Chicago defense. Big
Johnny managed to blunder
through with the puck in the first
period. but the Hawks confidence
in him was indicated by the fact
they never once passed him the
puck when he was in position to
break for the Detroit net.
Mariucci'S defensive efforts were
first confined to trying to feed the
Red Wings pieces of his stick. but
this procedure was discouraged
in the second period when defense
man Jack Stewart of Detroit gave
him hoist under the chin at the
Wing blue line which sent him
dazed to the ice. The former
Gopher came up shaking his head
like a stricken bull and was called
from the ice by Manager Thomp-
son for strong whiff of ammonia.
Johnny will get another chance
to show whether he is a suitable
replacement for the farmed-out
Dave Mackay when the Wings go
into Chicago for their next game.
New Years night. This is the
start of another heavy week for
the Detroiters, who go on to play
the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday
and return to play Montreal Cana
dienS here next Sunday.

The soundness OF that observa-

the Red Wing cage.
But the Hawks got over the
hump for their goal early when a
careless bit of defensive play let
Johnny Mariucci, new Chicago de-
fensemanr through on right wing
for shot. Mowers cleared
straight out under the rushing
Bill Thoms, but the veteran
Johnny Gotteslig trained Thoms
down center to pick up the re-
bound and fire a shot which Thoms
was able to convert into a score.
From then on the Hawks were
on the defensive. The Wings
staged a 19-minute assault in the
second period. But it was not
until eight seconds of play re-
manned in the period that Wings
were able to break through the
lharricade of sticks and bodies-tn
pierce Goodman's armor. Then
Adams threw four forWardS-the
Wares line and Liscombe-on with
Goodfellow in successful effort
to tie the score.
