Hershey Bears, On
 op0fA.H. League, At Arena Sunday

New Haven, Dec. 26.-The re. vamped New Haven Eagles will at. tempt to take Q pair of games over the holiday weekend from the east. ern division leading Hershey Bears "a big assignment, but one that Coach Eddie Powers believes his club can do. The Eagles face the Bears at the Arena on Sunday night, following Q tussle with the Choco- late Soldiers at Hershey on Satur. day.
 Cliff Barton, fiashy winger, form. erly with the Philadelphia Rambl- CTS, has joined the Eagles, and Powers looks forward to having Bar ton add more scoring punch to the Battle Birds. Barton was a mem- Der of the high scoring line of Sammy McManus and Naklna Smith last year at St. Louis, and he will work with that combine here.
 orvillc Waldriff, sturdy defense. man. will be ready for action on Sunday, as will Gordie Reid, another husky blue liner. Max Labavitch, winger, is suffering from a stomach ailment, and will probably not be ready for the Sabbath fray.
 Eagles Improved
 Hershey has lead in the east ern division. The Bears hold an edge over New Haven, having won two against one tic, but the tie was registered two weeks ago at Hershey. serving notice that the Eagles are a vastly improved club.
 On next Wednesday night-Eddie Shore and his badmen from Buff falo-invade the Arena for shin- dig which should pack plenty of color. The Bisons and Pittsburg are now waging a merry battle in the western division and the charges of Shore will be out to add the Eagles to their list - but no figur- ing on a revamped New Haven sex tet.

 "It's an outrage telle you, Coeh- rane, tho first champion to enter the armed services in this war, is now at Pearl Harbor, more than 5000 miles away--too far to do much protesting. Lesnevich is in the coast guard, and his manager, Joe Vella, Is in the army. I won- der what these boys and their bud- dies will think about the rank ingsa"
 Stressing the case of Cochrane, Gilzenberg recalled that the red headed Irish lad from Elizabeth, N J., enlisted in the navy on July Si, l94i-two days after winning the welter crown from Fritzie Zivic, Cochrane easily could have been deferred because of e tennis elbow" which made one arm shorter than the other or on grounds of depen- dency.
 But Freddie wanted no defer ments," his manager continued; He's the most patriotic kid that ever tossed leather. He asked me if 1t was all right for him to enlist. He realized that his enlistment would cost both of us thousands of dollars. l told him to go right ahead: 1t looked like war was com ing, and we wouldn't let dollars in terfere with defense.
 "Freddle was in service during the entire year of l942--a specilist in the navy. He couldn't make any title defenseS because he. couldn't get enough time off to train properly. However. he did accept two norl- title bouts to help war funds. While still recovering from an automobile accident that kept him in Q hospital for a days, he fought Garvey Young of the Marines at Boston in May, and lost an unpopular l0-round decision. His entire purse went to navy relief.
 "After that Freddie was out Of action until September. when he was granted 10 days leave to train for Fritzie Zlvic, in e USO show. He went into the ring without proper con6itlon--rusty. But still he gave zivic a licking for four rounds. until ha ran ant es ~s. S..s-a""'' Y's'"

Kansas COP Mops Up;
Copper Wins Fifth Term

TOPEKA Nov. 4 P.-Kansas Re
publicans mopped up in yesterday
balloting, electing Senator, Gov
ernor, all six Representatives and a
full set of State officers.
Led by veteran Senator Capper.
who won his fifth term, and 47-year-
old Governor ELECT Andrew Schoep-
pei, the Republicans wrested from
the Democrats the only congress
sional seat the latter party was
holding.
Although balloting was about IS
per cent under 1910 and probably
won't top 100000, the Republican
maiorities in all cases were decisive.
Senator Capper, II, Topeka pub
Usher, in rolling up his customary
big vote, frustrated the comeback
bid of George McGill, former DEM
ocratic Senator and New Dealer who
lost his seat four years ago. His
margin was about to 2. With only
543 of the 2,740 precincts missing
Senator Capper's vote was 220,411 to
Mr.. McGill's 1890.
Mr.. Schoeppel. former chairman
of the State Corporation Commits
sion, likewise turned back the sec
ond governorship bid made by Will
liam H. Burke, Democrat, by about
the same margin. With 2,279 or
2,740 precincts reported, he led Mr..
Burke $3.50 to 172,508.
One of the election surprises was
the wide margin of Representative
Rees over Representative Houston,
Democrat, in their fight to represent
the new fourth DISTRICT into which
both were thrown in the reappor-
tionment. Defeat of Representative
Houston eliminated the only Kansas
Democrat in Congress.
