Hockey Lions Bow
To Alert Rockets

An alert attack and excellent net
tending proved the downfall of the
Washington Lions last night at
Ulne Arena where 1928 hockey fans
saw the Lions beaten by the Phila-
delphia Rockets, 80.
The winners initial goal came
after 6:54 of the opening session
when Eric Prentice poked the puck
past Lou Crowds from 10 feet out.
The middle period went scoreless
as both teams frightened defenses
and displayed fine stickwork which
had tempers flaring on both sides.
The blocking of Phil Vitale was an
important factor in preventing
scores against the Lions in this
session.
The Rockets sounded the scoring
buzzer after 4:18 Of the closing Pc
riod when Wally Stefinaw hit the
net after assists by Phil Herge-
sheimer and Waldrif1. In the wan
ing moments Hergesheimer stole the
puck, eluded several Lions and
passed to Chuck Kraiger, who hit
the cage at 1918.

Skins Hope 10 Battle
Eagles by Shifting
Aerial Strategy
By Lewis +. Atehison

Redskin offensive strategy for to-
morrow's important game with the
Phila delpnia Eagles at Griffith Sta
dium includes a two-way stretch at
the ends. Coach Turk Edwards
may throw Bones Taylor and Hal
Crisler into action together, figuring
the Eagles may stop one of them,
but not both, from catching Sammy
Baugh's passes.
It's combination that figures to
pay six-point dividends for both
beanpoles can cut the wind with
pigskin tucked under their arms.
Both are 6-feet-4, tall enough to
grab anything that doesn't pop over
the fence, and they have bucket-like
hands. They could make the Phila-
delphians terribly unhappy If Sling
in Samuel is on the beam.
Neither the Redskin board of
strategy nor most fans can figure
how Crisler ever got away from

Yankees have an abundance of good

Tommy Mont bullet-like throw on
the goal line for the Tribes second
score. Later in the game he caught
another six-point throw from

He was ailing most of the season

up where he left off, but 1t was no

knows he's got to click, or else give

rolled up IS points against Texas
Christian, 40 against Denver, and 40
against Colorado.
The co-champions of the Big Six
Conference were by no means as
sured of the decision until the final
quarter. For one of their own
scores they owed q debt to over
eagerness on the part of one of the
Colonials' defensive backs. Jim
Kline, with the best intentions
tried to intercept q long pass instead
Of merely batting it down. He mis-
judged, leaped too soon and no!
sufficiently high, and Kansas was
ahead, 60.
G. w. Had Two Chances.
G. w. had two golden opportuni-
ties to score. Late in the second
period Dick Rooster ran 81 yards
to Kansas 3S-yard line. The surg
ing Colonials made 1t a first down
on the 40 and then Koester picked
up . yards to reach the Jayhawkers'
IL. There were two minutes left in
the half. The Colonials missed this
opportunity as they missed q second
chance early in the third period
after banging down to the 1S-yard
line for q first down.
George Washington's most loyal
rooters were willing to admit last
night that Kansas was the better
team, but it was an admission that
did not include references to Mary
land and Georgetown. To be the
top college in Washington football,
so far as G. w. supporters are con-
cerned, Maryland and/or George
town will have to beat "the amaz-

The G. Ws are somewhat on the
