Lions Much Improved, ,
Bid for Upset Over
Springfield Tonight

Those fast-improving Washington
Lions will attempt to turn in an
other outstanding performance to-
night as they bid for an upset of
the colorful Springfield Indians in
an American Hockey League match
on Uline ice, starting at $50 o'clock.
The Lions overcame a two-goal
deficit to deadlock the Eastern Divi-
sion leading Providence Reds here
week ago, and last Tuesday made
their finest showing of the last two
seasons when they shut out the
powerful Hershey Bears.
The Lions have turned in four
undefeated matches in their last five
starts, splitting two decisions with
New Haven, white-washing Hershey
and playing ties with Providence
and Springfield. They have divided
two matches with Springfield and
played to deadlock in a third con-
test. They can rise to within two
points of the fourth-place Indians
in the Eastern Division race by VIC
tory tonight.
Two 21-year-old rockies will
shoulder much Of the burden for
Washington. Lou (Whitey) Crowds,
goal tender and star of the Hershey
shutout, will be in the nets while
Gordon Duggan, fast winger, also
will see considerable action.
