It is a pleasure to report that there
is a very nice spirit of cooperation
in big league hockey this winter.
The latest evidence Of this neigh
borliness among the stick puck
set came last night when the New
York Rangers only goalie, Ken
McAuley, suffered possible jaw
fracture and the Detroit Red Wings
loaned the New Workers young
Harry Lumley to handle the Rangers
nets for part of their game.
However, it is apparent that moth
ing can help the Rangers, for the
Detroits downed the Manhattan
puck -chasers. to 3. This brought
an end to the budding two-game
winning streak the Rangers had
cooked up in recent days after going
through their first IS games with
out hitting the victory column.
And it wasn't Lumley's fault,
either. For by the time he took over
at the start of the third period the
game was on ice any way you looked
at it. His Red Wing mates were
unable to score on him while he was

the Bears aren't quite the lusty IA

In 1910 the Bears supported their

acclaimed their team was the better

But the statistical Stephens are
stirring up fires with facts from the

the Bears have a neat edge over the
Redskins in performances - not
enough, mind you, to risk tossing
out the term "favorite" on the Chi
cagoans. but just sufficient to show
they COULD be the winners Sun
day because of more ability.
The Bears chewed up the turf for
1856 yards rushing this season to
Washington's 1,038. They made
2310 more by passing, to Washing
tons 2,046.
Clark Is Heavy Gamer.
Harry Clark accounted for a good
chunk of that Chicago yardage with
556 yards, followed by Dante Mag
mani with $40, Gary Famiglietti with
229, Ray Noting with 209 and Ray
Mclean with 1877. The Washington
power men were Andy Farkas with

Of recent doings, the Indianapolis
Capitals are just about the hottest
hockey outfits in the American
League just now, but there's more
than an outside chance that they're
going to be cooled off somewhat
over the Christmas week end.
At the moment, the Capitals are
sporting a string Of six straight
games in which they haven't been
beaten-four wins and a pair Of
ties-and they've moved well up into
third place, only half a dozen points
behind Cleveland and within shoot
ing distance of the pacesetting
Hershey Bears.
But tomorrow night and Sunday
the schedule has them tangling with
these two clubs-Cleveland and
Hershey. Now you might say this
gives the Caps q good opportunity
to do some catching up on the
front-runners, but the seasons ac-
tivities to date don't give you that
forecast.
For, of the seven defeats suffered
by Indianapolis this season, three
have been handed to the Caps by

Bears might take note Of the fact
the Skins are at the home of the
only undefeated and united ma

before the clash in Wrigley Field

1t was Purdue that never

Bough Gives Skins Edge Over
Bears, Says Owen of Giants

Luckman's great passing. I still
remember the beating he handed
the Giants. Sid is great football
help in running the T, and a great
fellow. But he isn't Sammy Baugh
who can pass, kick, run, tackle, in
tercept, block and fake anybody out
OF position. Suppose Baugh is deep
in his own territory. If you don't
send safety men back he'll quick
kick to your 10-yard line. If you
do, he'll pass to that uncovered spot
the safety men have just left. So
whatever you do will be wrong.
Pays Tribute to Sammy.
"Baugh has the fastest working
hands I ever saw. He has the best
balance 1 ever saw. He can appear
what looks to be completely off bal
ance and still hit his receiver be-
tween the eyes. He reminds me of
a cat. You can throw a cat into
the air, turn it over couple of times
and the cat still lands ready for
action. I know the Redskins are

Ierans. Football is a funny game.
OF course it might be the other way
in favor of the Bears. They may
be keener and fresher than ever.
But I don't believe the odds run
that way"
Here is, however, one Bear ad-
vantage. Luckman has better re-
ceivers, headed by Poole and Ben
ton. 1t is true enough that he didn't
get any too hot against the Redskins
in Washington, but he is still hard
to suppress entirely =

is that while they may have softened

The Demons last perfect season
was in 1888. but their youthful

NEW YORK, Dec. "a (NANA). -
Steve Owen, Giant coach, has been
In quite turmoil and tussle with
both the Redskins and the Bears
His Giants have beaten the Red
skins in two out of three starts, only
to have their scalps lifted in the
final and deciding game. They
tomahawk the Redskins in Wash
ington by 81 to 7, only to have the
same outfit remove their scalps in
New York by the margin of % to 0.
This shows you how smoothly foot
ball form can run in a war year. 1t
Is all largely zigzag with a pretzel
touch.
At the same time the Chicago
Bears, plus Sid Luckman, wrecked
the Giants by the count of Sc to 7,
which is no light massage.
You would think that under these
somewhat morbid conditions Steve
Owen would pick the Bears over the
Redskins. Steve has no such idea.
He favors the Redskins for at least
one important reason-here's his
angle:
Thinks Layoff Hurts Bears.
1.-The Bears, a veteran team In
many respects, haven't played a
game of football in month. A
month is long time between games.
The Redskins, on the other hand
have been in the middle of a tough
scramble. They have been coming
along the hard way. They are what
you might call contest-tough. What
Tllden used to call tournament
tough"
II believe the Redskins have a big
edge in this respect. They had their
expected slump-and then they
came back. They have just about as
good team as the Bears, anyway.
They proved that by beating the
Bears 81 to in Washington, with
Sammy Baugh only playing some six
minutes. 1t won't hurt the Redskins
any to have Baugh in there so or 55
minutes"
II would say the main difference
In these two teams is Sammy Baugh.
