Reed was forced to hang on and suddenly Hood followed a ripping blow to the wind with a smack to the chin and Reed toppled over on his face and was counted out. Reed was just coming up off the floor when the timer reached the fatal “ten and out” at 1:25 of the round.

At that, Herbie Lewis’ boys are fied for first place in the loop, with eight Karakas games left to play. With them at the top are Cleveland, with nine games left, and Hershey, with 10. Mike, who competent observers have been heard to declare has five legs and the broad side of a barn: fin the net with him, played the goal last night as if it were a bank vault. With few exceptions the Caps kept in his stick all night long. For two periods they tried everything short of a writ ‘of habeas corpus to get him out of the way, but: could register only once. Then, with the score tied one-all in the final period, they began.to cut away at the cormers, satisfied

Hit Pipes Five Times

The result was that, by count of Herbie Lewis, they hit the pipes rimming the net five times. And all the bounces went the wrong way. Put these down in your heartbreak book: In the first period, with Bob McCully in the penalty box for two minutes for slashing, Herbie sent in the “main line” of Jack Keating, Les Douglas and Roy Sawyer to overwhelm the many-legged one. Douglas flipped to Sawyer, who had Karakas almost at his mercy, but Mike made one of many beautiful saves, and the Reds averted a goal. Red Light—On and. Off Early in the second period, Connie Brown came down the side, passed to Joe Fisher right in’ front of the net and Joe had what everyone, including the goal umpire, thought was a goal. The red light went on, but Karakas had Stopped the shot. In the first minute of the third period, the Caps went “all out,” bombarding Red territory so fast that Karakas had three saves before he could say “Karakas.” In the first 12 minutes of the final period, Mike had 10 saves. He had 14 in the first period, 12 in the second, 12 in the third and six in the overtime. _ He totaled 44 to Joe (No! No!) Turner's 21 for the three periods and: overtime. Both teams were playing pennant hockey throughout, with the Caps mindful of that first place bounty and the Reds just as positive they were going to spoil “the local boys’ dream. .

Hinkle, KeoganOn Net Board

COLUMBUS, 0. Feb. 25 (U. P.). —Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle of Butler university and George E. Keogan of Notre Dame today were named on the selection committee for this area for the fourth annual national collegiate basketball tournament. Along with Kenneth Wilson of Northwestern and Ben Van Alstyne of Michigan State, they will choose representatives to compete in the tourney from district four, which inclydes Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mic ,» Wisconsin and Minnesota. Eastern and western regional playoffs will be held March 20 and

{21 at New Orleans and Kansas City,

Coach Harold G. Olsen of Ohio State, N. C. A. A. tournaments chairman, said today. The championship contest between the two regional winners will be staged March 28 in Kansas City. Olsen appointed selection com-

districts to choose representatives within the next 10 days for each individual district to compete in the regional meets. Four teams from east of the Mississippi river will contend at New Orleans and four from west of the Mississippi at Kansas City. The four eastern representatives last year were Wisconsin, national tourney winner; Pittsburgh, North Carolina and Dartmouth. The western contenders were Washington State, Creighton, Wyoming and Arkansas.

It's a Mystery

When that final playoff series (best 4 out of 7 will be played, if the Kautsky's qualify, for it, is pretty much of a mystery to the local team. They have games Wednesday and = Thursday next week with the New York Renaise sance five—at Richmond Wednes« day and at the armory here Thurs day. That leaves Friday and Saturday, March 6 and. 7 open, before the. professional tournament starts in Chicago March 8. Since the final playoff can conceivably go to seven games, it will be difficult to squeez all of them in.

Sunday Comes on 8th

Abe Goldsmith, the Kautsky's business. manager, says it definitely is NOT bad organization, but sime ply that Sunday comes on the 8th, and that’s when tournament officials want the pro meet to start. He says they might squeeze in the final playoff game after the tourney. Something like playing an all-star . game between the third and fourth games of the world series. While Mickey Owen chases the ball, perhaps.
