Making Local Bow

Eastern League ice hockey makes
its 1867 start at Uline Arena to-
night as the Lions return for their
first home stand after a 10-game
trip around the circuit and into
Canada. Opposition comes from the
New York Rovers, current loop lead
ers. Starting time is $50 o'clock.
The Rovers noSed out the Lions,
Sd, in their only previous meeting
this season. The local club is in
third place in the four-team league
and can move into second by win
ming tonight. Making the Lions
record better than 1t appears at first
glance Is the fact that they already
have made their swing through
Canada and won two, tied one and
dropped the other game there. The
other clubs have yet to 60 north and
when they do they likely will lind it
hard to match WaShington's record.
Standouts so far with the local
entry are Goaie Dave Kemp and

Cold Weather Helps Redskins,

BY Lewis r. Atchison

Although the Bear game was the

players came out of it with fewer
serious injuries than they received
in any other game.

after it was all over, which wei
talk about later. But en- route tt
the Midway Coach Turk Edwards
predicted the Redskins would win Il
the weather was cold.
Edwards blamed most of the
Skins bad luck on the weather. The
season has been too hot, he ex-
planned, for a club plagued by sc
many injuries. With so many mer
on the bench It's up to the remain
ing few to carry the load and the
unseasonal heat simply took all the
starch out of them.
LuWdTuS was SOuuuCnt.
How correct the coach was is
borne out by the final figures of the
game, which the Skins lost in the
last three minutes by 24-20 score
The most confident man in the
party en- route to Chicago was Ed
wards. He said he thought his team
had an excellent chance of winning
particularly if cold weather pre-
vailed.

Of the teams troubles.
SteeIers Fortunate.
1t is interesting to see not only
how the Redskins go in their last
three games, but if Pittsburgh can
stand up in its last two. Jock
Sutherland has been extremely for
tunate, fcf example, in having Bill
Dudley available the entire season
Deacon Bill has absorbed a terrific
pounding but, unlike the Skins, he
had no broken thumb, no cracked
ribs, no fractured ankle, no dis
located shoulder, etc., any one of
which would have put him on the
bench. Put Dudley on the bench
one Sunday and you take at least
IA points off the Steelers' potential
score.
Now, If the cool weather continues
we may see some fun and a lot of
action in the homestretch.
While the Bears long have been
regarded as the toughest team in
the league and sometimes have been
accused of using foul tactics, there
was some difference of opinion
among the Redskins concerning Fred
Davis, their erstwhile teammate.
The big Alabaman slit open
Jimmy YouePs chin with what Jim
claims was a haymaker. Youel
didn't like it, as he was out Of the
play, and certainly you can't blame
him. Davis also worked on a couple
of linemen, and their complaint
was that Fred hides behind q mask
and isn't open for retaliation. Then,
too, you almost always get caught
when you slug back, as Jack Jacobs
will testify, so you can't win either
way in Davis case. At least the
Skins couldn't.
oAA Vic oeiiCi. udllU UO1ll 0duiiiAy
Baugh and Dick Todd felt that
the law Of self-preservation held on
the field, and while not condoning
slugging they argued that each
player must protect himself.
If he hangs one on you give II
back to him." Baugh said, but
don't get caught. That's bad"
Both Baugh and Todd think
i Davis is the National Leagues best
tackle this season, smuggling or no.

tailed $1,759, 1858.
OF the 62,014 loan-guarantee ap-

these, Mr.. Kelsey said, one claim
involved home loan, two were on
