ions' Spirit Broken
}y Repeated Defeats,
Loss 10 Royers Hints
By Brian Bell, Jr.

Washington'S hockey Lions are
becoming accustomed to losing.
They dropped the 18th match in
their last Is Eastern League starts
last night. 81, to the New York
Rovers before a crowd of 548 at
Uline Arena. The game was a
battle for 21a periods when the
Rovers' Francis Hockey knocked
in goal to break a IL tie. The
Lions didn't threaten seriously
the remainder of the match.
"As long as they're ahead or
the score is tied, the Lions have
a lot of fight" Jack Riley, their
coach. said. "but when they get
behind they seem to fold. The
boys are used to losing and it's
tough to get them out of a slump.
If we could just win a couple in
a row I think they'd get their con-
fidence back" s-,
Sommerville Is Lions Star.
One of the few bright spots in
the Lions performance last night
was the fine game played by
Goalie Clark Sommerville. He
kept the Lions in contention with
some sharp saves and turned in
the best net tending by a Wash
ington goalie this season. Un-
fortunately for the Lions, Lorne
Anderson, New York goalie, was
just as good.
The important tie breaking goal
came after Sommerville made
another good save. From the press
box the puck seemed to be lodged
under Sommerville's glove, but
really was a few inches away.
Hockey, skating up for the re-
bound. drove the puck between the
goalie's legs. Sommerville said
later he couldn't find the puck
after he went down and there was
no Washington players around to
help him get the puck out Of
danger.
Uline Sticking by Lions.
So far, attendance figures have
the Lions in the red. But they have
been playing interesting, If not
winning, hockey and a few vic
tories coupled with more matches
scheduled Friday nights might at
tract more people. 1t is not believ-
ed that Nigel Uline, the teams
owner, contemplates abandoning
the Lions.
Washington plays in New Haven
