Unlikely to Score os
Heavily os Lost Winter

Coach Redvers Mackenzie of the
currently soaring Washington Eagles
today admitted the local entry in the
Eastern Amateur Hockey League
may not produce as many goals as

smoother defensive unit.
The Eagles, only undefeated team
in the league after three games on
foreign links, will be bigger. tougher
and probably better than last sea-
son. says Mackenzie, but may not
maintain the 1939-40 teams average
Of more than four goals a game.
Washington probably will partici-
pate in many close games. since Ross
Knipfel and Johnny McTeer appar-
emily have improved and Len Bur-
rage still is reliable Jimmy Nc
Curry, the Eagles other defenseman,
IS a welcome addition to the team,
and in Gordon Hemming and Les

compare favorably with any net
tenders in the circuit.
