Lions in |rked Mood
For Falcons After
Loss 10 Blades

The feud between the rough and
ready Philadelphia Falcons and the
Washington Lions will be resumed
tomorrow night at $3.50 in Uline
Arena and it should be hot time.
Joe Desson, Falcon defenseman,
who punched the referee the last
time the two sextets tangled, and
Redvers Mackenzie, Falcon coach,
who refused to leave the ice at the
arbiters command during the fisti-
cutting, were scheduled today to go
on the carpet before Tom Lockhart,
league prexy.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Blades
are tied with the Boston Olympics
for first place in the league-thanks
to the Lions, who absorbed an 8-to-3
beating in the Monumental City last
night.
The Lions rang up two quick goals,
but Baltimore turned on the heat
and was ahead 4 to by the end of
the second period. All Washington's
goals were scored by Wingman Alan
Percival for hat trick, and a derby
also goes to Paul Bedard, Baltimore
wing, who shot trio of tallies.

|Rumors That Bagarus
Would Rejoin Skins
Spiked by Club
BY LEWIS r. ATCHISON.

Reports that Steve Bagarus, back
field star of the Redskins preseason
games, had been transferred to an
Eastern Army post and would rejoin
the club for the last two games of
the season were branded unfounded
by club officials today.
President George P. Marshall of
the Redskins talked on the tele-
phone today with Bagarus' sister,
with whom Steve lives in San Diego,
and was informed that the player
not only was home last night but
had reported to his Army base near
San Diego this morning.
steve would be as welcome as
the flowers in May" said Marshall
but if he was being transferred
east I'm sure he would have let us
know, and we have heard nothing
from him. If he was transferred he
would have to obtain permission
from the commanding officer at his
new post to play football and that
takes time. We also would have to
release player to make room for
Bagarus on the roster and that re-
quires 48 hours.
That's all we know about it."
Not in De Groot's Plans.
Coach Dud De Groot, whose plans
for the game at New York Sunday
do not include Bagarus, said the
last he heard about Steve was that
he was being transferred from Camp
Callan to Camp Lockett, both bases
near San Diego. If Bagarus was
|rejoining the team he would know
about it, De Groot said.
General Manager Sid Carroll, who
handles waivers and releases for the
club, said Bagarus' case had not
been mentioned for some time. Car

that the Skins would have signed

Navy romped to two quick touch

the half. Early in the third pc

for another Army score, eagle
squirming over tackle and running
43 yards for the counter.
Late in the game Navy had the
ball on Army's 8-yard line, fourth
down and three to go. 1t was so
dark the opposing players hardly
could be distinguished from the
stands. With everything hanging
in the balance for Navy, the Middies
called on Shapley who skirted right

That left 1t up to Tom Hamilton,
and the speedy halfback booted the
conversion squarely between the
posts to tie the count at 21-21. In
