Caps Hoping for First
Win Over Mikdn-Led
|Lakers in Two Years
By Bill Fuchs

George Mlkan, the greatest
scorer in basketball. will be at
Uline Arena tomorrow night try
ing to lead the Minneapolis
Lakers to victory over the Caps
in a National Basketball Associ-
alton game. Starting time is
$3.50 o'clock.
The Mikan-led Lakers swept
all six games with the Caps last
year. but this is different team
representing Washington.
The Caps lost in the league
opener against the Royals in
Rochester, but snapped back to
defeat the Indianapolis Olympians
at Uline Wednesday. Off that
showing against the Olympians
the Caps are expected to give
the Lakers more trouble than
they did last season.
Bullets Whipped Lakers.
1--WE have a green club" admits
Cap Coach Bones Mckinney, but
it's a hustling club. They play
team ball; they pass off when
they have a chance and all OF
them pick up their men. I think
we'll do all right"
In their home debut against
Indianapolis, the Caps were very
impressive Bearing out McKin-
ney'S remarks on team play is
the box score of that game which
shows everybody who played get
ting at least 5 points. Here's how
/ the scoring went:
Alan Sawyer, IT; Bill Sharman
13; Frank Kudelka, II; Dick
Schnittker, 10; Ace Vaughan
Earl Lloyd and Fred Scolari,
each: Chick Halbert and Dor
Often, 7 each; Dick OKeefe, 81
and Chuck Gilmur, 5.
Surprisingly enough, the LAX
ers lost their opener against Bal
timore, a team that had a rough
time in exhibitions. In two pre-
season games against the Caps
the Bullets didn't belong on the
same floor. Mikan, incidentally
got "a points against Baltimore
O'Shea Bolsters Invaders.
The suspicion is that the Lakers
who won the championship last
season and the season before, dc
not have it this year. The accent
throughout the league is on speed
and it was that factor that helped
the Bullets to their 10-point VIC
tory Wednesday,. And the Caps
look to be one of the fastest teams
in the circuit.
The Lakers again will be de-
pending on their big three-Mi-
kan, Jim Pollard and Verne Mix
kelsen and they've added three
very promising rockies in Kevin
O'Shea, highly-touted star for
Notre Dame last year; Joey Hut
ton of Hamline and Ed Beach OF
West Virginia. Tony Jaros, Bob
Grant and Dutch Schaefer are
veterans back from last season.
Coach John Kundla admits ii
will take a stronger team than
the Lakers of last season to win
the title this season. Every
team in the league has improved
and, at this point, you'd have to
say the Caps belong near the tor
in the improvement department
