as a member of its al staff, but
corrected itself today.
Thorp, nationally known official
for 25 years, incidentally was
quoted as saying in Miami that
"the very same issue now raised
by the Eastern Football Association
was brought up Is years ago. The
idea was dropped when officials
refused to be dictated to-"
Campbell is the only newcomer

recommended by coaches and Off

One of the best bets for filling empty

Glowing frankie Kovacs-a sure
fire attraction once he took complete
command of amateur rsnks-is
emphatic.
Il won't turn pro even if I win
the title five times in row and
could make $4,000 the first year, "
he asserted today.
Suppose you do make $4,000 the
first year-if you're lucky-the
chances are your health has been
hurt by transforming around the
country. If your health is gone
where are you?"

He no longer takes chances on

but once a point is definitely won or

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

The status of burly Johnny Nc
Teer. 223-pound defenseman of the
Washington Eagles, is dubious.
Coach Redvers Mackenzie of the
local Eastern Amateur Hockey
League entry is displaying increas-
ing reluctance in employing the
blimp- p-proportioned Ottawa player
when the chips are down,
McTeer, who has produced only
one goal in the Eagles 38 games.
never saw action last night as the
Baltimore Orioles dealt Washington
4-3 licking before 3,414 customers
at Riverside Stadium, swapping the
Eagles success streak at 10 wins
and a tie.
McTeer Lonely on Bench.
1--WE were trailing by three goals
and I wanted fellows in there that
could shoot" explained Mackenzie
McTeer, whose activities for the
evening were limited to dressing
and undressing, can reap little solace
from that remark, for not until mid
way in the second period had Bal
timore accumulated its 80 lead.
By that time every other Wash
ington player had seen service and
had succeeded only in playing what
Mackenzie termed their worst game
of the season. 1t wasn't very heart
ening to McTeer to view his mates
produce their most ragged hockey of
the season and still never get the
nod to go into action.
Mackenzie allowed Len Burrage,
Jimmy McCurry and Ross Knipfel to
share the exclsive rights to Wash
ington's defense, and that's no trib-
ute to McTeer, for Knipfel was pre-
senting little trouble to the Orioles
effective attack. If McTeer figures
to remain on the bench while his
mates play that badly he isn't calcu-
| lated to see much future action.
A slow skater and no offensive
threat, McTeer. nevertheless, is an
| aggressive performer and one of two
Eagles who can toss a jarring body
check into an opponent. Gordon
Pranschke is the other.
| There's little fault to be found
with a coach whose club has been
SO successful, but, by the same token,
there's little hope of McTeer seeing
steady service in the stretch. The
Orioles show signs of giving the
Eagles a snappy battle in the stretch
and Mackenzie has demonstrated
he doesn't relish McTeer's presence
when the going is tough.
