Wing Victory
Aides Morale
Beating Rangers,
81, Gives En-
More Confidence

NEW YORK. Nov. 19--Jack
Adams was more confident today,
as he led his Red Wings back TO
Detroit, that his Stanley Cup
winners of last year again will be
in the thick of the fight for the
coveted honor.
The convincing manner in which
the Wings triumphed over the
Rangers, 3 to /, before f2,42f
fans proved his statement.
1t was the eighth straight set
back the Rangers have suffered
in the National Hockey League
this season and put the Wings in
a third place Tie with Toronto.
As a guest speaker at a pre-
game dinner of the New York
hockey writers, Adams said the
campaign so far had convinced
him the league as a whole was
surprisingly strong.
1.-THE Canadiens," he said.
"have the best club that has
worn their uniform in several
wears. The Bruins also are
strong. 1 won't say we have a
good club by ordinary stand
ards, but we're coming along
and will be in the scrap"
WINGS SURPRISED
The Detroit players were
caught by surprise when defense
man Cord Davidson slammed
home a Ranger goal after only %
seconds Of play last night.
Then the Red Wings settled
down and outClaSSed the blue
shirts all the rest of the way as
Pat Egan. the former American,
took charge OF the proceedings.
Pat paved the way for the ~
ing goal in the middle OF the first
period played leading role IN
the Wings defense that turned
back most of the Ranger thrustS,
as well as going down alone 10
score the final goal in the last
minute of play.
He also drew two OF the games
five penalties.
As IN their two previous home
games, the Rangers took an early
lead On their first raid IieNtall
took the puck down. passed II TO
Davidson. who fired from near
the boards to beat Franks easily
BRUNETEAU SCORES
Eight minutes later, Egan
blasted a shot from about Is
feet out, but McAuley fell as he
attempted TO clear. However, Mud
Bruneteau swoopcd in from the
other alley and dented the twine.
From there on, the Wings
waited for openings. They found
one IN the middle period and
turned il into what proved the
winning goal
Cart LIScomhe and Bruneteau
caught the Rangers with only one
man on defense. LiScombe took
the puck down tented A pass
that had both the lone defender
and the goallc watching Bruno
tesu and then shot a high one
INTO the near Sittc-uf the cage.

other opening Pat picked up a

According to police, Mr.. MCGUIRE

across Fairfax, Prince William and
Stafford Counties. At times, STATE

the arrest, said the car, owned by
Corpl. Conn and driven by Mr. Nc

to referee a fight. At Fredericks-
burg they were again arrested by
police, who were on the watch for
the Conn automobile because a

They satisfied police, however,
that they already had posted bond
on the reckless driving charge and
were released. Corpl Conn re-
