Great Record on Road
Gives Hockey Eagles
Comfortable Lead &.
Nine Of IS Wins Guined
Awuy From Home; Burns
Loops Top Scorer

The Washington Eagles, leading
the Eastern Amateur Hockey League
by q comfortable margin, already
have compiled as many victories on
the road as they did in the entire
1939-40 season despite that they
have completed little more than
third of the current campaign.
Exclusive Of last nights game with
the Jersey Skeeters at River Vale.
the Eagles have accumulated nine
wins against two defeats and a tie
on foreign rinks this season. At
Riverside Stadium the Eagles have
won six games, lost two and tied
one.
The most amazing item in the
Eagles statistical score this season
is the fact they've come from behind
to earn every triumph and tie, with
the exception of 40 victory over the
Skeeters. OF their four losses, three
have been by margin Of one goal
and the other defeat was q "A
affair. The Eagles have won six
games by one-goal margin.
w lldo SCOICQ GOdlS at
home and has manufactured the
same number on the road. OPP
ponents have scored 81 goals against
the Eagles at Riverside, but have
been able to produce only "a goals
against them on their own rinks.
The result is 80 goals for the Eagles
and 81 for their foes, giving Wash
inUtor the freef oFaneiya a-d H.
fensive record in the league.
Norman Burns, leading Eastern
League scorer, and Hal Dewey, lead
ing Washington scorer last season,
between them have scored nearly
half, or A, OF the Eagles goals.
Len Burrage, Washington de-
fenseman, leads the league in con-
tributing assists with 81.
Until last night the Skeeters had
failed TO win game from the
Eagles in four meetings, while
Washington has taken four Of five
games from the New York Rovers
and three Of four from the Boston
Olympics. Against the Baltimore
Orioles and Atlantic City Sea Gulls
the Eagles have won two games,
lost one and tied one with each club.
Tonight the Eagles will meet the
Orioles at Baltimore and on Wednes-
day afternoon will face the Rovers
at New York. Washington will COL
lide with the Skeeters at Riverside
on Friday night and will journey
to Atlantic City to tangIe with the
Sea Gulls on Saturday night.
Special buses will leave Riverside
Stadium for the Baltimore match
tonight at $50. Fans desiring to
make the trip may obtain informa-
ton by calling Republic 1850.
