AS a reward (?) for dusting on

hockey season tonight at $50, when
they ring down the curtain on the
regular Eastern Amateur League
campaign at Riverside Stadium.
Although the Boston Olympics will
be here as second-place occupants
Of the seven-team loop, they instill
no awe in the fourth-place Eagles
who have knocked 'em OH five times
In eight meetings. Only twice have
the Olympics prevailed. one Of the
eight games being a tie.
Following tonight's game, the
Eagles take to foreign rinks for their
last four stands against Atlantic
City, River Vale, Baltimore and
Johnstown. But barring a wholesale
slump on the part Of Coach Redvers
Mackenzie's boys, they'll return to
Riverside on March 13 for the first
Of three playof1 games scheduled
locally.
If they should go into q taispin
and allow the Baltimore Eagles to
swap places, the Eagles still would
come back to their own stamping
grounds for post-season tilts-only
as contender in the Hershey Cup
series, confined to the lowest teams
Of the league.
With the return to action OF Paul
Courteau, the Eagles again will be
at full strength for the Olympics.
Courteau sat out the game with the
Sea Gulls last Tuesday as required
BY President Tom Lockhart's ruling.
Two of the Olympics will be
marked men tonight. In their last
visit here. Cy Beigler, Boston's fiery

Courteau, who didn't attempt to de-
fend himself under his peace bond.
Another Olympic involved here is Al

who was attacked by a spectator
after jamming Washington's Freddy

Sam Snead is a fellow who likes to

started today in the final 36 holes
of the 5000 st. Petersburg Open
was well marked.
Snead smashed out a 3-under-par

two 18-hole rounds and entered the
double-decker final today with a

him as the favorite even more surely
