That's the way il looks 10 us
from where we are sitting ar the
Stanley Cup series which started
last night.
Yep. il looks as though the
little freshman French goalie.
Connie Dion. is going 10 make
or break the Wings in this an
nual scramble for a piece of the
pottage pie.
Connie has had his share If
headlines this season. He's done
a swell job. He came in Just
when Jack Adams and his club
seemed headed into a powerful
nose dive that would have
found them ending up playing
Hershey or Indianapolis in the
minor leagues.
Connie Jumped in and relieved
Nornie Smith, Just when the
latter was making remarkable
comeback. Dion started good.
and he got better. He went
into what the coleFful writer's
call sizzling streak.
All Of this was duly reported
by the hockey writing brothers.

Irish Lose First
Game Of Season
Opponents Score in
First Minutes Of Play

The hard fighting irish from St.
Patrick's lost their first game OF
the football season 1913. The local
lads had seven points racked against
them Sunday in the first two min
utes and so seconds of play.
In the first quarter st. Clements
received the kick, drove 20 yards in
two plays and then, with short
pass over center, crossed the Irish
goal line. The extra point was
achieved by running far to the left
side of the field.
The second quarter was a walk
away for the visitors as they pushed
ST. Pats UP and down the field and
managed to score again - but this
time the extra point was not con-
yerted. The half ended with st
Clements leading 1870.
In the third quarter there wa:
little activity and neither team was

Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears,

division of the National Football

Green Bay, q to 6; beat Brooklyn,
10 to IA, and then fell before late
Cleveland rally, 20 to II. The Bears

marched up and down the field
with no gain.
The Irish began to show their
colors in the fourth quarter when
they drove from their own ten yard
line deep into st. Clements territory
and from there DeSana caught a
pass from Burns and made the first
Irish score. In the last five min
utes st. Pats kicked to st. Clements
and after three downs were forced
to punt. Burns caught the punt,
but lost it when he was tackled.
This break gave st. Clements cour-
age and they scored another touch
down on a short pass and a wide
end run. In the last so seconds of
play Pat Callahan, fast Irish full
back, darted 95 yards on an inter-
copied pass and scored the last
touchdown of the game. The extra
point was blocked and the game
ended 1913.
