shouldn't miss a beat.
Harry Hopman's never-ending
assembly line has produced an
other young court dazzler who
appears ready to step in and
throw back any challenge for the

The new Aussie hope Is Ash
ley Cooper, a tall. dark-haired
stylist of 10 who originally

Matured by a world tour with
Hopman's tennis forces, Cooper

season and showed his readiness
for big-time competition by beat
ing both Hoad and Rosewall
within the space Of 10 days.
Tennis Fans Impressed
In late November he defeated
Hoad in an interstate match,
rs. Ga. 60. Ten days later
he whipped Rosewall in the
semifinals of the Victorian
championships at Melbourne

carried Hoad to five sets before

Young Cooper is one Of the

He is a favorite Of Hopman,

concentration. He seldom smiles
or shows any reaction to bad
calls.

Lead This Week

Two consecutive victories over
the New Haven Blades have
lifted the Lions within striking
distance of the Eastern Hockey
League lead and have raised their
morale to a new high for the
season.
The Washington team now is
only three victories or six points
behind the Blades after handing
them their first defeat of the
season, Az. last night. The Lions
can narrow the margin still more
by winning tomorrow night
against Philadelphia and two
games at Uline Arena this week.

one of the leagues top scoring
lines. will be at Uline's Wednes-
day night. while the Blades.

team that broke their all
winning streak at home at 10
games, will be here Friday night.
Satisfying Victory
Knowing full we'll that the reg
ular-season league title depended
on their ability to handle the
Blades, the Lions have demon
strated that ability in the last
two matches between the clubs.
The Blades had beaten the Lions

a week ago Saturday night at
Ulines.
Last nights victory was far
more satisfying to Player-Coach
Stan Warecki's squad. All teams
in the league win more at home
than on the road, but the Blades
were going too far and it was a
relief to all other clubs to know

The Johnstown game Wednes-
day promises fireworks. also. The
Jets have the leagues No. /
scorer in Don Hall. the No. 3
scorer in Dick Roberge and the
No. 6 scorer in Ken Coombes.
The Jets still are burning over
that recent loss to the Lions in
overtime here. Warecki tied it in
the last nine seconds and Fern
LaPointe and Joe Formica COM
bined to win it in less than two
minutes of the extra period.
Dan Morgan is back in action
for the Lions, no thanks to

out of action three times this
season.
New GOalie Stars
Jimmy Matson, Washington's
new goalie, turned back IS New

handing up his second victory
against no losses and tie. His
other victory also was over the
Blades and he now sports a 80

mitted, better than any other
goalie in the league.
John Mcmillan scored for the
Lions at 4:47 of the opening
period, but Clare Doyon tied it
at 1902. Warecki scored to put
the Lions ahead to stay with a
