Caps on Heels

Of Cleveland And Hershey

Beat Lions, 3 to 2; Lag By 4 Points

By BOB FLEETWOOD

The Cleveland Barons and the Hershey B’ars glanced down nerve ously from atop the Western Divie sion of the American Hockey League today and there stood the Indianapolis Capitals staring them right in the face—and smiling, too. The Caps’ fortunes rocketed to start the season, faded at the half way point but today the ticker showed their stock up four points. And they're four points behind the leaders, Saturday night they out-shelled the B'ars, 4 to 2, and last night blasted Washington, 3 to 2. Buffalo will be here Wednesday night with Springfield as Sunday night's guests. A bruising Cap defense, that banged and bounced the Lions throughout the scoreless first period, slowed the speedy wings of the Lions—that is all but Louis Trudel, The high-scoring Lion wing ace counted for both the Capitol City’s goals. Caps Are Tired The tired Caps had to offset the Lions’ speed with body blocks and board bangs but they moved on the “money” chances for their three. The 5411 who paid jeered Referee Ag Smith constantly for a penaltyless evening. The first goal came in the secs ond period from the stick of Jud McAtee. Bill Jenning and Hal Jackson convoyed the puck deep into the Lions’ sea and Jennings fired a hard one at Goalie Bert Gardnier. The rubber ricocheted off his stick to Jud coming up on the opposite side. It whistled up and past Bert's right ear. Trudel tied the situation up with a “merry-go-round” goal. Allan Shields and Peggy O'Niel, plus the Cap wings, went round and round behind the net, trying to spot the puck through the sticks and legs. Trudel picked it up and came up for his “sneak” shot. Fisher collected a galloping goal as the period ended on a relay that traveled the rubber from the Lion's blue line, Sandy Ross iced a long pass to Connie Brown who in turn timed the racing Fisher and the puck just in front of Bert. Fisher and the puck closed in together.

Jennings Connects

The Caps ended their goal-getting early in the third on a scoring play just like the first. This time Bill Jennings took the rebound off Gardnier while Jerry Brown and Jud McAtee did the early firing for effect. Trudel scored again in 19:02.
