Lions Get First Call
On -Four Men When
New Haven Folds
Eagles Show Here Lost
Time Tomorrow Night;
Cops Take Close One

The Washington Lions, q 4-3
victim of the Indianapolis Capitals
last night at Uline Arena despite the
fine individual performance Of Lou
Trudel, today were awaiting with
intense interest the final appearance
here of the New Haven Eagles In
American Hockey League competi-
ton.
Following tomorrow nights match
with the Lions, the Eagles will play
at New Haven Sunday, then disband.
The Eastern and Western divisions of
the league then will be dissolved and
the loop will function as a seven
team league, with six teams to quail
fy for the playoffs.
Lions Get New Players.
Although the Lions will open the
revised setup in last place, they will
be given first call on four New
Haven players who should strength
en- them considerably. The Lions
have won only one of their last u
games.
Coach George Mantha predicts
strength gained through the acquisi-
ton of new players will enable the
local pros to pull up to even terms
with sixth-place Cleveland shortly
and eventually land the Lions IN
the playoffs.
The dismantling of New Haven.
for one thing. no longer should make
1t necessary for the league to func-
ton with borrowed players. Wash
ington, for instance, borrowed Goahe
Frank Ceryance from Hershey and
Leo Richard and Freddy Weaver
from Indianapolis earlier in the
season.
Truders Efforts Wasted.
Trudel produced all Washington
goals against the Caps last night,
but they served only to make the
game interesting.
indianapolis spurted into a 81
lead as Hec Kilrea scored twice and
when Trudel made it 80 Adam
Brown boosted the Caps into a AZ
advantage.
Trudel scored so seconds later. but
the Lions couldn't shove home the
tying goal.

1t was Packers last-gasp field goal

The old-timers demand one con-
cession-as soon as they give out,
their sons will take their places.
And the sons could make up a pretty
fair team.
Merrill Packer is on the current
Utah varsity. Rulon Clark, jr., was
a guard on the Utah grid team and
Homer Warner, jr., was a reserve

Big Track Growth Is Seen
By Lawson Robertson,
Vet Penn Mentor

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-LaWson
Robertson, who is starting his 18th
season as coach of the PENNSYLVANIA
trackmen, predicts that this winter
will find track in the ascendency
throughout the Nation.
The veteran coach of United
States Olympic teams points to the
fact that track is q natural sport
for men in the armed services and
that they will want competition
either as members of relay teams
or as individuals.
"All the big track organizations
are holding meets this winter" said
Robertson, which is an indication
Of the desire of athletes to COM
pete indoors. The Millrose, K. of c.,
A. A. u, New York A. C. and the
I. c. A. and other organizations
are planning to hold meets this
year. 1t would have been nice to
have the Swedish runners here. but
l believe there is enough native
talent available to provide the COM
petition that track followers de-
sire"
Robertson expects to develop a
relay team to compete for the Red
and Blue in the indoor meets. He
also has two good pole vaulters, a
high jumper and several other ath-
letes capable of competing against
the best In special events.

that he has acquired some tricks Of

angler encounters only seldom, for
the locale is wild, unspoiled, and
really productive along the 1000
mile royal highway that traverses IA
States from Maine to Georgia, fol-
lowing the skyline and penetrating
the only remaining wilderness Of the
Eastern States - the Appalachian
Trail.
1t Merely Is a Footpath.
Along it one will not find gas

fishing and the means Of getting
to it always showed it into the future;
to be tried when there was more
time. So. the best we can do now
is to recommend Charley's story. or
advise that contact be made with
the Appalachian Trail Conference
here in Washington, where guide
books and literature are available.
His trip picked up the trail at
Neel Gap in Northern Georgia and
continued on up through Southern

Governor of Georgia, was his COM

food in addition to the piece of SOW

scrappy brookies and rainbows, and
one 2-pound small-mouth black bass.
Most important was the discovery
that the trail was the ideal point
to reach the small mountain
streams. Most fishermen in working
up the streams from the valleys by
way Of the roads would find the
going rough, and often too brushy
ever to reach the small unspoiled
upper pools where plenty of trout
lie. Working down from the trail
these pools easily are accessible.
