Tech Five Makes Title Defense Debut as Hot Series Loom
Lions, With Virtually
New Team, Shatfer
|Rovers' Streak
BY BOB MCLEAN.

The suggestion that Washington's
Lions be given saliva test met with
no approval today among the 1913
fans who saw the local skaters knock
off the New York Rovers, GA, last
night in Uline Arena to end losing
streak of 10 straight Eastern Hockey
League matches.
The team that lost those 10 In
row and 10 over the season actually
wasn't present in the icehouse last
evening In its place was a crew OF
hotshots recruited from the bigger
leagues who add the punch to the
few original Lions remaining.
1t wasn't, in fact, ephedrine but
major league play that broke the
Rovers' winning string at seven
matches and threw the Lions into a
tie with Baltimore for fourth place.
New faces such as Bill Whittet,
Norm Calladine, Frank Long, Don
Webster and Hugh Currie have pro-
vided the power that may make the
team title threat instead of the
joke of the loop.
Whittet connected for Washing
tons first goal in the opening period
after New York had piled up tallies
on shots by Hal Laycoe and Cal
Gardner. Charley Kraiger tied it
up at 2-all a minute later and Web
ster sent the Lions ahead at the
l0-minute mark.
New York made it 3-3 before the
period ended, but Washington
clicked for two more lamplighters
on shots by Long and Kraiger in
the middle stanza to take 5-3 ad-
vantage and Long scored again in
the finale. New York tailed on a
goal by Gardner with two minutes
remaining in the game.
Best shot: In the second period,
when Long took a neat shovel pass
off the stick of Morris Lallo and
almost tore the New York net apart
with his goal. Best riot: When the
fans showered the ice with programs
to halt the game for 10 minutes in
protest of penalties imposed by
Charley Good that left the Lions
two men short. Best laugh: The
big electric clock reflected the ex-
citement by breaking down in the
last period. Remainder of the
match was timed with penalty
