completely honest man in intercol-
legiate athletics" is dead.
The beloved 69-year-old athletic
director emeritus of Kansas State
College, died last night, ending a.
years of service to that school and
to athletics.
Ahearn was widely known in
sports circles over the country
Every one recognized him as the
Little Irishman" who believed and
practiced simon-pure athletics.
1t was former rival, r. E. dick
Hanley, once coach at Haskell In
dian Institute in Lawrence, Kans.,
and later at Northwestern Univer-
sity, who toasted Mike as:
THE most sincere and completely
honest man in intercollegiate ath-

Hockey Lions Battling
Team They Can Whip
In Philadelphia Club

Here's one hockey team the Lions
can beat, anyway. The Philadelphia
Rockets come to Ulne Arena to-
night, facing not only the Lions but
a jinx that has made it impossible
thus far for them to beat the Wash
ingten club on Uline ice.
The Lions won their opening game
of the season here against the
Rockets and have spilled them twice
more in local games. On the other
hand, the Lions have been unable
to top the Rockets in three games
at Philadelphia, and only last week
lost there after having a goal
lead. But the Rockets are the only
club that doesn't hold an edge over
the Lions in games won this season.
Coach Jack Riley of the Lions has
been seeking requirements for his
three injured players, but with no
success, and the Washington club
again will skate short-handed to-
night. Riley again plans to play as
he did last Tuesday night for the
first time this season.
Goalie tonight for Philadelphia
will be Maurice Corteau, brother of
Paul Corteau, formerly with the
Washington Eagles. Maurice was a
shutout winner over the Lions
earlier this year. Jimmy Jameson
and Chuck Kraiger, former Lions
and both forwards, are other inn
portant players on the invading
team. Augie Hergesheimer, the
loops leading scorer last season,
hasn't approached his hot pace of
last year but remains one of the
Rockets best bets. In his stead John
Mahaffy has taken over the role of
leading point getter.
