A threat Of drastic penalties for
roughness hangs over the heads of
Washington's league-leading hockey
Eagles and the Baltimore Orioles as
the two teams wind up practice ses-
sions for tomorrow nights crucial
match at Riverside Stadium.
Echoes of that jubilee of November
%, when members of both teams
tossed gloves. fists and sticks all over
the ice are back to plague the two
rival outfits, currently in close race
for the leadership as they face their
second meeting at the local rink to-
morrow.
In that brief and hectic mixup
Johnny McTeer, 223-pound Eagle de-
fense man, and Dill of Baltimore
both received major penalties.
Meanwhile Washington has checked
in with protest against the pug
nacious tactics of Guy Roach. Balti-
more's 205-pound defense man, and
the Orioles have retaliated with a
kick against McTeer picking on l45-
pound Ned Vitarelli, Oriole spark

Tom Lockhart. jr. president of
the Eastern Amateur Hockey League,
has advised both clubs that penalties
which will serve effectively to stop
unnecessary roughness may be i'm
posed by league officials unless the
flst-tossing and intentional high
sticking and clipping is stopped.
Meanwhile the Orioles do not
take fondly to their current second
place spot behind the Eagles. So the
Eagles, good as they have been in

duel of the autumn. Overlin is
brave and fast and tremendously
cute and experienced. the toughest
sort of opponent for STRIPPING,
Belloise knocked him down last
time and punished him heavily.
Thus, Overlin is forewarned and
ready. He will be careful this time,
and Belloise may not catch him.
On the other hand, Belloise has
an instinct for doing the right thing
in the ring, as well as a wallop in
both gloves. If he's not ready now
he soon will be. Myself, l think he
will beat the champion.
If he does, the crowd will yell with
glee. And the least surprised man

yells. will be Kenneth Overlin, the
