The Washington Hockey Lions

Hershey Bears, last years champs,
at Uline Arena tonight at $3.50,
hoping that a return to more famil-

The Bears again are on top Of

Herb Lovett, 20-year-old winger
acquired by Washington from the
Chicago Blackhawks, may make his
local debut tonight, but latest word
on injured Scotty Mair, another
winger, is that he has resumed
skating but probably won't return
to action until Friday.
Three of the key players who have
sparked Hershey's recent comeback
are Gordie Bruce, Penti Lund and
Bobby Schnurr, all forwards and all
from the Boston Olympics team of

Henry also has shown tighter play
in the Hershey nets recently and

Writers constantly refer to
people in boxing as the fight

don't call Clark Griffith one of
the baseball mob or George
Marshall a member of the foot
ball mob do they? And if a
promoter hits a streak of bad
luck and has a couple of unin-
teresting main bouts, what hap
pens? Right away they say the
fights were crooked, the pro-
moter is bum and say they're
never coming back to that arena.
But your football and baseball
teams lose couple of games and
the same writer's say they've
merely had bad luck, but they
continue going to .he games.
I'm this particular article the
writer complains about the num-
ber of deaths in the ring, but he
didn't say anything about the 13
deaths In football the first half
of this season. I wrote to the
Associated Press and asked why
football deaths were not recapit-
ulated, just like boxing, when a
boy died from injuries, and they
wrote back and said they were
but the newspapers wouldn't
publish it.
This fellow goes on to say
that Illinois denounced intercol-
legiate boxing because knockouts
were not counted as injuries but
he didn't say football was de-
nounced because players were
knocked cold on the field. Any
time you see a football player
down and out he's being kayoed
as completely as any boxer. They
talk about deaths in the ring, but
did they mention the Princeton

Scott 0ne-man Team
For Navy, But Has
Army Background
BY the Associoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 25-By
all rights Dick Scott should be at
West Point-and he will be playing
a lot in the Army backfield next
Saturday in Philadelphia-but in
stead he'll be leading the Navy team
in the Windup to a career that has
been brilliant, to put it mildly.
The Navy captain was reared in
Highland Falls, N. Y, next door to
West Point. The Military Academy
has been tradition in his family,
and a brother Tom starred for. the
Cadets few years ago. Dick him
self spent 18 months as an Army
private, only to switch from khaki
to Navy blue.
1t was terrific break for the
football coaches on the Severn, as
Scott turned out to be a one-man
team. His main job is center, but
so far this season he's done every
thing except carry the water bucket.
Diagnoses Foes Plays.
AS a line backerup the 6-foot-2-
inch center is a play diagnostician
who comedies few if any peers.
Army has good cause to remember
him from last year, when its great"
eleven just nosed out Scott & Co.,
21-18.
Scott gets little chance to rest
on the bench. Whenever he is taken
out on defense, Coach Tom Hamil-
ton usually has to rush him back
in to bolster wavering Navy Sec
ondary.
Capt. SCOTS defensive worth was
well established last year when
Notre Dame and Army both termed
him the best player among their
opposition, but this year he bios
somed into an all-around threat
kicker, passer and even runner.
His running ability popped up
suddenly in the Penn State game.
Going back to punt-a chore at
which he has averaged better than
40 yards-the irrepressible Scott
suddenly took off around end and
made II yards and a first down be-
fore the shocked Nittany secondary
recovered.
Repeated Same Trick.
He pulled the same trick later in
the game and made about five yards.
In other games he has crossed up
the opposition by throwing passes
from kick formation.
That isn't all. In three games
against California, Duke and Notre
Dame-he has booted three short
onside kickoffs-and recovered all
of them.
About all that's left for him to do
is center the ball to himself and run
for a touchdown. With all the
tradition of an Army-Navy classic
lowering over him next Saturday,
it wouldn't be surprising if he did it.
