Zvolis had been trying 10 break

Zvolis was forced 10 invoke dis

The National Hockey League
scheduled for tonight shows three
games on tap, but one OF them-the
New York Rangers VS.. the New York
Americans-gets almost individual
attention.
The Rangers are cunning for a
new National League record for
consecutive games without defeat.
Latest note of interest on how the
Americans plan to put the skids
under the Rangers came yesterday
when Red Dutton's puck purveyors
announced they had acquired the
"black cat'-otherWise Johnny Gag
non-from the Montreal Canadiens.
The Rangers have now gone Is
games without a defeat and think
they need three more to tie the
mark supposedly set years ago by
the Canadiens. However, others
contend that all they have to do Is
win two more to tie mark OF II
now held by the Canadiens and
Boston's Bruins, and believed In
some quarters to be the league high.
In the leagues other two games,

K|igman' S Late Goal
Gives Central Edge
Over s.. Johns

Central High Schools basket ball
team is shaping up as one OF the
most formidable schoolboy quints in
town, currently boasting six wins
and two losses. Yesterday Charles
Khgman, undaunted by st. Johns
scoring streak in the last quarter,
with seconds to go, tossed a goal
from midcourt that gave Central a
30-to-29 triumph over the Cadets.
The game threatened to be a rout.
At the half the score was 10 to 10
In Central's favor. At the end Of
the third quarter 1t was q to II
and Central seemed a cinch to bag
its second win of the season over
the Johnnies. However, Frank
Cady, the stocky gridman, began
tossing baskets from all angles and
St. Johns suddenly had 29-to-28
lead. Kligman, however, came along
with his bull's-eye and saved the
day.

Benny Alperstein already has been
obtained and Ivan Nedomatsky will
be added if position he expects In

Both probably would give their

Miller in giving the finer points OF
the ring game to the varsity

Alperstein, who came to Mary

two Southern Conference and two
national collegiate titles, one each
in the 125 and 1875 pound classes in

Alperstein depended mainly upon
science for his great record and was
voted the outstanding boxer in the
1888 conference tourney that was
held at College Park. He is en-
ployed in Baltimore, his home city.
Nedomatsky, clever boxer and ter
rife hitter, won three conference
crowns, the first in the 135-pound
class and the next two in the 145-
pound division. His most notable
victory was over Danny Farrar Of
Duke in the final Of the 1887 tour

by Pennsylvania, 4l-34, last night at
Philadelphia
1t may be a case OF "as Weidinger
goes. so goes Maryland" for high
scoring Charley, who averaged Is
points in Maryland's trio Of tri-
umphs, could collect only one field
goal against the Quakers and none
of his mates had a particularly hot
hand.
Pennsylvania early squirt, when
1t ran up an 80 lead, caught the
Terps off guard, but Maryland bat
tied back to knot the count at 15-all
before the Quakers grasped a 1915
half-time lead.
Maryland launched a sizzling at
tack in the second half to snatch q
1928 lead, but Pennsylvania team
met the challenge and gradually
pulled away.
