Hawks Lose
Ice PlayOffs
BY the Assoclated Press

Four National League hockey
teams remained in the running
today for the Stanley Cup, en-
blematic of the worlds profess
sional championship, while two
others withdrew to the sidelines
after losing their bids in the
first round of the annual play
offs.
The closing games of the
quarter-finals ran true to form
last night as the Boston Bruins,
last years Stanley Cup winners,
eliminated the Chicago Black
Hawks, 80, in the rubber game
of the class "B" series and De-
troits Red Wings ousted the
Montreal Canadiens in the class
&C" finale, So.
Boston finished third in the
regular season, Chicago fourth,
Detroit fifth and Mont. cal sixth.
Both quarter final series went
the full three games.
The Bruins and the Red
Wings will open their three

Sunday night, playing for the
right to meet the New York

Lou Average
IS Hold Jump
in Pin Tourney

Pointing out that the division
of prize monies on both an
actual pinfall and over-average
basis gave everyone an even
chance of cracking the prize
list, Arnold Rockensuess ex-
pressed the hope today that a
number of low-average quintets
would enter the upcoming Mt.
Clemens-M acomb Recreation AL
leys' pin tourney.
"A number of newly formed
teams, it is understood, have
hesitated about entering, feel
ing that they had little or no
chance at winning a prize check
and Rockensuess, tournament
manager, took pains to explain
the setup. "A team with a low
average really has better
chance of st nding high in the
over-average than a high aver
age outfit.
HOLD ADVANTAGE
you take a bowler, for ex-
ample, with an average OF 18O
and if he's having :. good night
he may be 60 pins over his av-
erage for three games. But a
man with 100 average car
jump so poins over his average
in single games without it be-
ing usual. Multiply that differ
ence by five and you see why
the lower bracket teams hold an
advantage"
Actual pinfall prizes, how
ever, assure the top ranking
teams of an opportunity of TAX
ing in a share of the prizes. In
the over-average divisions last
year, a $50 mark by the VOL
verines of Richmond took the
blue-ribbon while Dick DuBril
and Oscar Dubay, 161 pins over
their mean grabbed off the top
spot in the doubles, over-aver
age; Bob Greenwald's GIG, 129
counts over his average, was
good for first in the singles, over
average.
Deadline for entries for the
tournament, April 6-18, is Sun
day.

Win Tonight
Over Cleaners
Only Hurdle
Loss Would Throw
PIoyoffs into One
More Night Of Ploy

Indicated through IL games
of the regular season and a
pair of playoff tits, Paganetti
Lumber cagers will tangle with
the Super Cleaners tonight with
the city basketball league title
on hand as the reward for q
win.
The Timberjacks need only
the victory to cinch the loop
title while loss will not nee
essarily rob them Of 1t. De-
feated once by the Paganetti
team, 22-19, in a playoff game,
the Cleaners will be on a tie
footing with their opponents if
they win and a final game will
be played Monday. A victory
for the undefeated Paganetti
team, however, will hand them
the title outright under the
two game, double knockout
system.
SCORING PUNCH
Big problem tonight for the
Cleaners will be to overcome
the height advantage held by
their foe and stop the scoring
power of team which num-
bers three of the loops best
shots - Ralph Soenen, Johnny
Volkenant and Dottie MacDon-
ald-on its roster.
The Timberjacks turned back
the Cleaners by a six point
margin during the regular sea-
son and 10 days ago turned the
trick again by cashing in on a
trio of free throws and a pair
Of long shots by Steve Morris,
all in the final quarter. Willie
May, forward who last year set
a league scoring record which
still stands, is expected to be

Exactly IL weeks ago, Joe

This time, the best semi-official
estimates are that the boys and

or five rounds-and the Army

$l25,000 to $150,000.

A year ago this month, Abe
