PAY INCREASE
Commissioners Vote To Up
Fee From 81 Ts 81

Jurors in Superior court in New
Hanover county hereafter will re
ceive twice the amount in wages

day voted to pay Jurors who &C

the jurors were paid So daily.
The law requires that commits
sioners fix the pay of jurors be-
tween So and S. daily.
Then after voting the pay in

that the Redskins will be battling
Pittsburgh's Steelers for individual
laurels, as well as a victory, when
they collide at Pittsburgh Sunday.

Hockey Lions Suffer
Third Straight Loss
After Fine Start

Things are going bit rough for
the washington Hockey Lions, with
losses in their last three games
standing out In sharp contrast to
their early-season showing when
they were the sensations of the
American Hockey League. A general
case of food poisoning, memento OF
their recent trip to Buffalo. helped
weaken them as the Hershey Bears
took an 8-4 decision last night at
Uline Arena.
That's pretty big total score for
professional hockey. but at that 1t
isn't a league record for this year.
The Lions have been able to stir up
only seven goals in their last three
games while opponents were total
ling %.
Coach Jack Riley had to juggle
his lineup last night and used Red
Raney, a forward, as defenseman all
the way, and Walt Babey, another
forward, on defense in the third
period. When Babey, smallest man
on the team, goes at defense, things
are rough.
The Lions were in the game for
the first period when goals by Ken
Schultz and Scotty MAR matched
Hershey scores and made it a %
tie going into the second: Then the
roof fell in as the Bears converted
three long screen shots, the kind
that usually don't go in once in 70
attempts. Defenseman Jack Port
land made a solo down the ice te
put a temporary halt to that spree
Before the period was out, Gordie
Bruce added another for Hershey to
give it 6-3 edge into the final
Bruce scored twice again to COM
plete the three-goal hat trick, fourth
time that's been done in the league
this season. The final Washington
goal was by Bob Walton. q"

Leohy Says Notre Dame Would Be Very Happy
To Settle for One Point Victory Over Army

Last season the game with Army
ended in a 90 tie. The previous
two years Army had won by $40
and 48-0- scores.
For some reason, probably be-
cause both teams have colorful
backgrounds, the Army Notre
Dame game seems to have quite a
Nationwide fan appeal And for
that reason, many false rumors
have grown into gridiron folk
lore.
For example. according to re-
ports in some circles, Coach Earl
(Red) Blaik and myself are sup
posed to be bitter enemies. Nom
sense! We do not know each
other well, but I have the utmost
admiration for him both as
superlative coach and leader OF
men.
Long before the season began
we were constantly asked by
otherwise rational and brilliant
men: How badly are you going
to beat the Army?" They implied
that the Irish, to a man, were
seething with anger and revenge
for the big scores piled up by
Army IN 1914 and 1945.
We wouldn't bring this up, ex-
cept we have been besieged by
such reports for so long, and we
might as well get the record
straight.
In the first place. we aren't at
all sure we can beat the Army,
even by one point. We know we
would be happy TO settle for vic
tory by that margin.
AS for 1914 and 1945, we have
never blamed any one for the
one-sided scores. Army had great
material, was we'll coached and
eager to 60 all out, just as their
older classmates were doing from
Okinawa to Normandy.
