BOSTON BRUINS
FOR Third Time
New Workers Now Heavy
Choice to Cop Stanley
Cup-JacksOn Out
BY TOM NOONAN
DI IOW NOOINhN
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

ECSS Std1A
Boston, March 20 - (U.PD - The
battered Boston Bruins, Stanley Cup
hockey champions, tottered on the
bring of elimination today with the
streamlined New York Rangers set
to polish them off and advance to
the finals against the Toronto
Maple Leafs.
With four players sidelined by
injuries, the Bruins have only a
slight chance of surviving by de-
| feating the Rangers at New York
tomorrow night and evening their
best-of-Seven semi-final series at
three games all.
The Rangers, capitalizing on their
best opportunity, scored third
period goal last night to hand the
Bruins their third playof Shutout,
10, and assume 80 lead in the
series. A partisan crowd of 16,468
sighed and sobbed in the final min
utes as the weary Boston club weak
ly attempted to cage the equalizer.
Kerr Is Classy
Playing on home ice where they
are unbeaten by the Bruins in eight
games, the Rangers will be top
heavy favorites to complete their
conquest in the sixth clash. Goalie
Dave Kerr of the Rangers has COM
piled Shutout streak of 1877 Mill
utes and 20 seconds against the
Bruins at New York including two
series whitewashes. If the Bruins
upset the Rangers, the seventh
game will be played here Sunday
night.
The defeat was doubly expensive
to the Bruins. Center Art jackson
suffered a broken right ankle, ana
Captain Dit Clapper sustained
Wrenched left ankle. Des Smith ana
Mel Hill were Sidelined by leg in
juries earlier in the series.
Manager Art Ross has recalled
Terry Reardon from the Hershey
farm club to replace Jackson on
the third line in an effort to bolster
his crippled forces.
Again burly Ranger defenseman
proved the player in the pinch. This
time it was. Babe Pratt who COL
lected a pass from Alex Shibicky to
nudge the disc past Brimsek from
closeup at 4:27 of the final session.
Murray Patrick scored the lone goal
in the Ranger snutout win Tuesday
night.
Improved
The younger Patrick and Pratt.
probably the most ineffective Rang
er players in the series last year,
have shown tremendous improve
ment in the current playoffS. Each
has pounded home two goals and
played sound defensive hockey.
The Bruins, who led the Rangers
by three points in the regular Sched-
ule, held a slight offensive edge in
the first two periods when Brimsek
had only II stops to 10 for Kerr.
The Rangers were content to lay
back and confine their offensive eff
forts to spasmodic attacks. Their
speedy forwards, however, swung in
to high gear at the start of the final
period.
Brimsek was forced to make the
best stop of the night on whizzing
shot by Neil Colville just before
Pratt scored his golden goal.
Jackson's injury in the first period
was caused when he tripped on two
pieces of wire hurled by spectators
as he tried for free puck with no
Ranger near. Clapper was hurt in a
board crash with Phil Watson a
minute before the final bell.

Boston, March 2s-tUV)-Pres-
tdent Robert M. Hutchins of the
University Of Chicago today was the
object Of caustic criticism by Harv-
ard Athletic Director william j
Bingham for his stand on intercol-
legiate football.
Varsity football was dropped at
Chicago after series Of disap-
pointing seasons that was cliinaxed
last fall by q $50 loss to Harvard
Bingham told the Eastern district
convention Of the American Asso-

ton and recreation last night that
Hutchins Is positively convinced
that football has no place in col
lege program, and, since he was the
physique Of a Sir Galahad, he is
convinced that he speaks with au-

IF President Hutchins were pres

I'VE are living in a very real

part Of the winter in Florida
where he finds research quite pleas
ant, unless perchance it be research
of intercollegiate footabll. On this
subject he has made up his mind
that no further research is neces-
sary."
Bingham said after IS years OF
athletic administrative experience
he was convinced that proselytine
and subsidizing were the hydra Of
iniquity in intercollegiate athletics
because they were responsible fol
