Puck Contest Sunday
Mowers and BrimseE
10 Renew Feud
at Olympia
By LEWIS ii. WALTER

For the first time in hockey his
tory. Two great goal tenders will
duel il out for the Vezina Trophy
in the last two games OF the sea-
son. And Detroit hockey fans will
see the first half of this struggle
for hockey's greatest honor
The two duelists are Johnny
Mowers, Detroit's freshman net
minder, and Frank Brimsek of
Boston. Their teams battle at
Olympia this Sunday afternoon
and then move into Boston for the
final regular game of the season
Tuesday night.
Mowers, who came up to the
Wings from the Omaha Knights
this season. is the sensation of the
National Hockey League. The
24-year-old Niagara Falls boy has
had three less goals scored upon
him in as games than has Brim-
SEX. But he must face a team
that has the most devastating
attack in hockey. one which has
hammered 159 goals this season
Brimsek will be facing a club
which has scored only 100.
Brinsek's Sd Year
This is the third season fol-
Brimsek. the Evele mimi.
youth who gained the title of Mr.
Zero three seasons ago when he
took Tiny Thompson's place ir
the Boston nets and turned back
foe after foe as the Bruins pow
cred their way to the Nationa
League title. He's been ranked a.
one of hockey's top goalies evel
since.
The fact that the Vezina Tro
ply. which goes to the goalie
having the least goals scored
against him, is at stake insures g
Touchdown battle between the two
clubs. Otherwise with Boston
safely in first place and the Wings
assured of third position, the two
clubs might forget their checking
in order to save themselves for the
playoffs. which start Thursday
Ordinarily in this position the
clubs make it wide open scoring
contest in which some of the play,
ers rack up some points needed
for scoring bonuses.
That's the risk the goalies will
have to take Sunday while they
fight il out with each other anC
try to keep Walter tTurk) Brods
OF Toronto from sneaking in the
door of the trophy room. .Brod'
is very much in the fight yet ano
may edge out both if the Boston
Detroit series is wide open.
Beside Brirnsek the Bruins will
bring in two other players who
either have won or are likely TO
gain league awards. Center Bill
Cowley has already won the
league scoring championship, with
Is goals and AZ assists for a total
of 81 points, Is more than the
injured Syl Apps of Toronto, his
nearest rival. Bobby Bauer, right
wing on the Bruins great kraut
line with Milt Schmidt and Woody
Dumart, is going down the stretch
with Gordie Drillon of Toronto IN
pursuit of the Lady Byng Trophy,
which goes to the least penalized
player.
Sydney Howe, Detroits scoring
leader, will also be after few
points in the Boston battles. He is
tied for third place in scoring.
with Bryan Hextall of the Rangers
at 43 points, and needs only two
more to take over second place
from Apps.

Franco-Itallan convention merely
states that the collective arms" Of
the French troops will be held as a
guarantee for the fulfillment Of
Frances obligations, provided those

Latent Menace at Most.
Well the French divisions in Syria
were. at the most, a latent menace
to Italy. Never did they meet
Italian soldiers in battle. All that

not to speak of other classes Of ships,
are prizes that cannot be lightly
abandoned to the German conuueror.
But to try to exert influence on
Vlchy by diplomatic Suasion and
Establishments, henceforth, is futile.
On the other hand, local safeguards
can be only of very limited value
unless a major operation is carried
out at Dakar which exceeds present
possibilities.
The only way to provide against
the worst is to bolster the popular
feeling which, throughout France,
was so strongly pro-British last De-

defeat the aims of Franco-German
cooperation.

short of what had been expected by
official optimism. 1t contains faint
assurances which make it only too
obvious that France today is not
able to speak to the United States
with the same voice as at the end of
last year. Far from being redrawn
in somewhat more definite and
sharper lines, the image has been
blurred to the point Of evanescence.
