If there's Nimrod in your fam
lily, you'll undoubtedly be called
upon to cope with his kill in proper
culinary fashion. Probably your first
work will be done on the tiny little
REEDBIRDS.
To be really elegant, these should
be wrapped in grape leaves, then
in bacon and salt pork and grilled
on skewers over q fire. This may
be too complicated in a modern
kitchenette, so we'll compromise.
Clean the little birds, after pluck
ing and singeing them, but do not
draw them. II you can spare 1t.
wrap a piece of bacon about each
one-if not, grease them with oil or
fat. Broil them inches from the
flame for 10 minutes, then season
with salt, pepper and lemon juice
and serve on toast, with or without
grape or currant Jelly.
From Brazil comes recipe for a
delicious COCONUT PUDDING that
uses fresh coconut to make it moist
and rich. Now that we can get
plenty of sugar we can make 1t
again-for 1t takes whole pound! |!

cup of water, until the sirup spins
a thread. Beat the whites of eggs
and add them. Then add the beat

Lions Eye Loop Lead
After Clipper Rout

With the Baltimore threat turned
back, temporarily at least, the
Washington hockey Lions can turn
their attention to chasing the first
place New York Rovers. They are
four points behind the loop leaders,
to be met Tuesday night at Uline
Arena.
The Lions have a Saturday layoff
for the first time in several weeks
and tomorrow night visit Baltimore.
They apparently have the Indian
sign on the Clippers now, or at least
they did last night as they racked up
five quick goals in the flrst period
and coasted home to 6-2 triumph
before 3,543 customers at Uline's.
The win put the Lions at the 500
mark-15 wins, Is defeats and five
standoffs.
Bert Lilley started the Lions VIC
toryWard with solo early in the
first period and Ken PARTS, Jack
Riley and Guy Roach bulged the
net with further first-period marks
before the Clippers got one by Lloyd
Schnarr. Joe Ciuman followed with
fifth tally in the first
period.
Ciuman added another in the
second session as. did Baltimore's
Jack Stoddard. The Lions played
defensive hockey thereafter to cool
off the Baltimore pressure.

The lowly Boston Celtics boosted
the Caps lead to 51a games last
night by upsetting the Knicks, &C.

The Huskies don't figure as too
much of a pushover for the Caps
tonight, however. They surprised
the Knickerbockers in New York
only last Wednesday and while not
exactly burning up the league they
have been doing better than okay
under new management. They're
coached by Red Rolfe, former New
York Yankee third baseman, who
took over from Ed Sadowski. They've
won of 10 starts under Rolfe's di-
rection and it will be an improved
combination that moves into Ulne's
tonight.
Toronto gained Dick Schulz and
6-foot-9 Clarence Hermsen in a
swap that also involved cash as
Sadowski moved to the Cleveland
Rebels. Another deal brought Leo
Mogus from Cleveland. These play
ers, along with the old regulars such
as Mike McCarron and Bob and

share in the Huskies' move upward

One result Of this weeks success

strictly by the book. There will
be no more informal statements and
commitments, we'll accept no tele-

said Chairman Heinie Miller last

"And don't quote me-" he added.

by the full commission, but it will
take about six days and We'll have
to see our lawyer.
"This it the strictest commission
in the country now" he added, "but
from now on we'll have to be even
tighter. Boxing is the kind of bust
ness you can't run that way, but
We'll do it," --
Justice F. Dickinson Let's in Dis
trict Court yesterday ended a two
day hearing by ordering mandamus
directing the commission to give
Turner permit to run a show on
Monday. He refused, however, to
issue an injunction against Pro-
moter Goldie Ahearn's show next
Thursday at Uline Arena. Attorney
Charles Ford, representing Turner,
expressed himself as satisfied with
the verdict.
In giving his opinion, the justice
commented on the informal man
ner in which the Boxing Commis-
sion operated and said that the
evidence shows that there was a
commitment to Turner for a show
on the 18th as early as December
g." He said the commission then
acted arbitrarily and capriciously'
in depriving Turner of that date
and that the "action Of the conrais-
sion in awarding Ahearn a date next
week was illegal and IN violation o.
Turner's rights" He did not order
Ahearn's show stopped, however, as
Ahearn had not been made party
to the court action.
Turner" said Justice Let's, "hao
complied with written regulations o1
the commission by filing formal ap-
plication for permit at least five
days before his proposed show and
is entitled to such relief as the
court can bestow."
Following announcement of the
decision, Chairman Heinie Miller OF

Georgetown had one high scorer

the first half of a twin bill on the

him to go along with them and all
the Hoyas lost was the country's

268 points for 13 games and kept
him well up among the leaders.
