D. 6. Pros Are Fuvored
By Schedule; Eagles
Fuce GuIIs Tomorrow

Sitting pretty In third place In
the American Hockey Leagues East
ern division, the Washington Lions
today seemed virtually assured of q
berth in the championship playoffs,
thanks to mathematical edge over
the Providence Reds IN remaining
games.
Beginning with Buffalo Wednes-
day night, the Lions have three
home games and five on the road,
while the Reds have only five, in
cluding one with Washington on the
Providence pond. Hence, If the
Lions lose three while the Reds are
making a sweep Washington still
goes into the playoffs by virtue of
last nights convincing SO victory
over the same team.
Allan Shields, rink leader pro tenn,
thinks the District puck pushers will
make the grade handsomely after
finally getting into high gear. If
last nights work was criterion,
the Lions are shoo-ins
Tough Game for Eagles.
Meanwhile, on the other side Of
town the Eagles, currently battling
to hold fourth place in the Eastern
Amateur League against Baltimore,
play host tomorrow night to q hot
Atlantic City combination feauring
Tommy Burlington on the attack.
Tommy's stick still Is smoking from
his record-shattering drive that saw
him run his scoring total to 1T
points for an all-time league mark,
figure he hopes to improve at the
Eagles expense.
Burlington now has his sights set
on the league goal-scoring mark Of
81 points. hung up by Norm Burns
while with Washington last season.
The Atlantic City ace is 10 shy of
tying the record at this late date
and has only seven matches in which
to do the trick. If the Eagles can
help it he'll still be as far removed
after tomorrow's fray.
Burlington and his Sea Gull mates
had a field day at the Eagles ex-
pense their last time here, skating
away to a 81 lead in the first peri
DDS, and coming back with two addi-
tional markers to win after Wash
ington had tied the count at sail.
While repitition of that thrill
drenched exhibition hardly can be
expected, another pulse-quickening
duel Is likely.
Courteau Sits This One Out.
Paul Courteau. persona non grata
against the Gulls, will sit out this
one and his absence will be a def
mite blow to Red Mackenzie's crew.
Burt Gardner, whose defensive play
at the net boardered on the sensa-
tional, and speedy Lou Trudel, who
slapped in a brace of markers and
assisted with another, were the key
men in the Lions victory last night.
Gardner shunted aside an assort-
ment of hard shots aimed his way
without ruffle, then came through
with at least three saves of the
sensational variety.
No less commendable was the work
OF Mike Karakas In the opposite
cage. The inability of his mates to
pick up the puck and break up the
oncoming Lion formations before
they were virtually skating over his
form made his task more difiicult
than Gardner's.
Norm Burns pulled the hat trick
for the New Haven Eagles last night
while his mates were handling the
