Three new additions to the Wash
ington Eagles hockey cast, due here
this afternoon. were expected to add
potent scoring punch for tomor-
row nights important match with
the JohnstoWn CPaD Bluebirds at
Riverside Stadium.
Poland Bleau and Les Hickey,
wingmen. and Donald Durno, a de-
fenseman, are the recruits. and If
all the things that have been said
about them are true the Eagles
should chalk up their second
straight victory. But Coach Red
vern Mackenzie's charges, fresh
from 5-l triumph over the
Jersey Skeeters last night at River
Vale, N. j., will be tough with or
without fresh talent.
COurteau Is Heavy Scorer.
Paul Courteau, veteran wlnger,
scored goal in every period in
pacing the Eagles to their first vic
tory after three consecutive set
backs. Washington counted at 6:28
to break the scoring ice and never
was headed.
Center Rudy Ahlin scored the lone
Skeeter marker on a pass from
Eddie Edminson early in the second
frame.
Although the fast-skating Bleau
and promising Durno are welcome
additions to the Eagle roster, 1t is
the sensational Hickey who is most
badly needed. A clever stick artist
as we'll as good skater, Hickey was
key man of the Winnipeg Rangers,
Canadian Junior champions last sea-
son. and is considered one of the
hottest shots in the Dominion.
Washington is particularly anxious
to upset the league-leading Blue
birds tomorrow night because. IN

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Kay Eakin,
the sophomore punting star of the
New York Giants, has taken his first
big step toward dethroning Wash
ingtons Sammy Baugh as the Ma
tional Pro Football Leagues kicking
champion.
He displaced Baugh this week as
the leader in the punting depart

to 81 yards for 13 tries. Baugh has
kicked "a times for a 496 average.
Whizzer White of Detroit con-
tinued to sport the best average for
kickoff returns-25.8 yards in 10
tries. He also led in the number of
punt returns, but Dick Todd of
Washington had the best average
II yards for IA tries. White had re-
turned 16 and held a 119 average.

New Workers. Recall
OF Aerial Ace Puts
Tribe on Guard
His Tosses Were Prime
Factors in Three Wins
Over Capital Pros
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

Reports that the Giants have re-
called old Ed Danowski, veteran OF
several years in the National Foot
ball League, to direct their passing
attack for the remainder of the cam
palgn doesn't surprise the Redskins
but 1t has put them on guard.
"Danowski doesn't do much except
pass and kick" Coach Ray Flaherty
was saying today, but like Baugh,
he's dangerous every time he fades
back to throw, and We'll have to
watch him"
It's true that DanoWski has caused
the Redskins much grief in the last
few years, for his passes were
Welghty factors in the Giants vic
tories at New York in 1888, '39 and
40. That Steve Owen saw fit to
bring him back for his clubs few re-
manning games in the Eastern title
race is tribute to the old Fordham
stars worth, even though it be con-
fined to passing and kicking.
Leemans No Star Passer.
As a matter of fact the Redskins
hadn't put too much stock in rumors
that Tuffy Leemans had developed
into a star passer overnight, for
George Washington most noted
product never was any great shucks
in chucking the oval and he, him.
self, is the first to admit it. After
the Giants had whipped the Red
skins here in the opening game in
September. Leemans admitted that
he had borne the brunt of the pass
ing attack only because there was
no one else
But I'm not fooling myself" he
said at the time. Il never was q
passer and never will be"
With DanoWSki in the lineup,
though. the Redskins must watch
both the Giants aerial and ground
games. And with the New Workers
needing only a tie to clinch a share
of sectional honors, they'll bear
plenty of watching.
Outside of DanoWski the most
disturbing element in the Giants
chances to wreck the Tribes title
hopes is the New Workers propensity
for booting field goals. Unforgotten
are the three that the Giants made
in 1889 to win that h-disputed
game, 81, without scoring a touch
down. Ward Cuff, an old hand at
that department. already is credited
with four this season and is danger
GUS anywhere in enemy territory.
Millner May Return.
But this year it appears the Red
skins can match the Giants field
goal for field goal, with such hooters
as Bob Masterson. Joe Aguirre and
Ki Aldrich. Aguirre's ree-pointer
in the first game against Brooklyn
this season produced the only points
of the contest, while the following
week his field goal at Philadelphia
provided the margin of the Red
skins 24-20 victory. Aguirre's power
may give him more distance than
either Masterson or Aldrich can get,
although Masterson-a veteran
probably is more consistent.

Washington, d. c., Friday, March

slider it significant that Senator Tv-
dings should have made his speech
proposing a severe restriction on
the Lend-Lease Bill almost stimuli
taneOusly with a vigorous demand
upon the Justice Department that
his henchmen be given two jobs in
the q. S. District Attorneys Office
in Baltimore
or course the fact that these two
moves came just at the same time
may have been pure accident, but
1t doesn't usually happen that way
on Capitol Hill. Frequently when
a Senator is particularly anxious
to land job for one of his hench-
men he chooses a moment when the
President needs votes more than
at any other time to introduce an
embarrassing amendment
Thus it would seem more than
mere coincidence that Senator Ell
lender Of Louisiana, who is press
ing for the appointment of his own
candidate for U. S. Marshall, in
Louisiana, should choose this cru
cial time to introduce the most
crippling amendment of all to the
Lend-Lease Bill, whereby the
President could not use American
forces outside the Western Hemis-
phere. So it is interesting to say
the least that the senior Senator
from Maryland should have made
a speech proposing that no more
L. S. naval vessels be used to help
Britain, and then within the same

tative of the Justice Department
