 To say that Rojo is being given another tough foe would be putting 1t mildly. For Hubert SamuelS is such terrific puncher that few will consent to meet him. Those that do live to regret 1t. One such was 'Lefty" LaChance, former New England featherweight champion, who faced Samuels' failing firsts her last spring.
 The North Philadelphia Negro battered his way to a knockout victory, scoring an upset that stun ned many Hartford fans who had aeen LaChance in some great fights. Those who had seen Lefty amaz- inely whip Phil Terranova, former NBA feather champ, were in turn amazed to see Sampels put the Finishing touch on his knockout bid with a solar-plexus blow that flat tened LaChance.
 ~ Rojo made his eastern debut here in August. ran up string of five Impressive victories and held Sam my Daniels to a draw in Montreal before being upset by the Balti- 1norean in e return match here last week.
 Among his victims since coming here from the West Coast are Baby eIms and Vic Costa, both of them boosting unbeaten records before Lowing out as knockout victims un- der the impact of Roio's jolting llnia.

Boueh Completes 25 Passes But
 Giants Win 16-13
By GLEN PERKINS United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

(On1teO treSS StdH OOTACSPOUuCAV
 New York, Dec. A. O.P.) - The Washington Redskins, accumulating motives to spur them on, got ready for "dog in the manager revenge role today in the hopes of knocking the New York Giants out of the National League Eastern Division football title that they could win for themselves only through mir acle.
 There is no love lost between the teams to start with, but after what happened to Washington in losing 16 to 13 to New York at the Polo Grounds yesterday, the setting is perfect for a grudge battle when they meet again next Sunday in the National Capitol. There is the mat ter of the disputed touchdown scored by Bill Paschal of the Giants in the final period when he wormed and squirmed his way, illegally" the Redskins charge, across the goal line on three yard plunge. Then there is that holdover account from 1943 in which the Redskins lost twice to the Giants and had to beat them in a third game before meet ing the Chicago Bears in the cham pionship playoffs. Plenty of sup porters believe that the Giants took enough out of the Redskins in that series to make them easy prey for the Bears in the finale.
 Washington had victory in its grasp yesterday when Joe Aguirre broke a 10-all deadlock with a r yard field goal in the third period. That set the stage for Paschal's plunge and nullified a great days work by Passer Sammy Baugh, who completed 25 of 35 passes for to- tai of 273 yards.
 Tigers Can't Win
 Philadelphia hung on to a chance at the division title by defeating the Brooklyn Tigers 34 to 0. It was the worst defeat of the year for the Tigers, who completed their 10 game schedule without a victory. The Eagles sent five players across for touchdowns. two of them, by Vic Lundskog and Jack Banta on 65 and 50 yard runs.
 Elmer Hackney, the old "One Man Gang" from Kansas State, sparked Detroit to three touchdowns in a 38 to 2 victory over the Boston Tanks in the final game for both teams.
 The Chicago Bears finished their season with 49 to mauling of the Card-Pitt eleven, scoring once in each of the first three period, then opening up with four touchdowns in the final quarter.

Hockey
(By United Press)

Fernand Gauthier, an opportun- ist with big stick, managed to get the Montreal Canadiens back into first place in the National League hockey race today, but he had to spoil the best defensive showing of the season by the Chicago Black hawks in order to do it.
 The Canadiens, pulling a 2 to l victory out of the fire in the third period on Gauthier'S goal last night, regained the top spot while the To- ronto Maple Leafs were dropping a 5 to 4 decision to the Bruins at Boston. Toronto had taken over the lead for one day by winning from New York, 4 to 3 on Saturday night
 With Earl Seibert, brilliant Chi cago defense man leading the Blackhawks in defiant protective game, the highly-geared Canadians were held scoreless for two periods. Finally, with four man rush down the ice, Montreal scored shortly after the start of the last period with Maurice Richard making the shot. The Blackhawks, not to be thwarted, tied the score at 1-all, less than three minutes later on quick thrust by Pete Horeck. The provided the setting for Gauthier's game winning shot in the final five nlin- uteS.
 Boston's young but efticient sec ond line led the way in a stirring third period rally in which the Bruins came from behind to score four goals and win.

The CedarS had to do some con- Sistant bowling to grab three from the Oaks last night. Coming up with wins they tied the first place Wall nuts who dropped two to the Bam- boos. The Bamboos with Fuss Sul- livan having a good night really poured it on. Due to a few changes in lineup the handicap system for all teams will be inaugurated start ing next week. The race is not half over yet and with only five games separating the top and bottom teams anything can happen. Nick Dioiro made few impossible spares (ex- pect to him) in coming up with his best game of the season for the Cedars. Homer Ruggiero had that strike ball working for a nice 132 in his last game.
