By UNITED PRESS The New York Rangers virtually clinched the National hockey league championship when they defeated the Detroit Red Wings, 7-4, before a crowd of 8475 at Madison Square Garden last night. The Rangers, who outclassed their rivals and never were pressed, scored four in the first, one in the second ‘and two in the third. Alex Shibicky and Lynn Patrick led the attack with two goals each and Syd Howe registered a pair to pace Detroit.

Modest ‘Gussie’ Sets Keeord

EVANSVILLE, Feb. 27 (U. P).~— Gussie Doerner, Evansville college's ace who has a magnetism for basketball hoops, last night unleashed a 25-point scoring spree to smash the state college individual scoring record by seven points. Doerner’s season total is 407; the defeat record was 400. And to make his figure complete Gussie is 20 years old today. Doerner led Evansville to a 57-35 victory over Central Normal to com~ plete an unbeaten conference season that places Evansville in a firstplace deadlock with Indiana Ceéntral. The unstopable Doerner, who is modest about all things except making baskets, last night said he is eternally grateful to “the best team Evansville has had in the four years I have been here”

Consequently he produced only |eight points during the first period.

Nevertheless, it was “Gus Doerner night” at the Evansville armory, and fans had faith in him at the half—enough confidence that he would break the record to continue a program in his honor. : In the last half Doerner came

back strong to score 17 points, com-|&"":

piling 10 field goals and five free throws for the entire game. In four years, he has made 1125 points. In his freshman year, his total was 140, in his sophomore year 266. Last year he average 20 points per game for a 312 total. His 800 total this year brings his average for 17 games to a shade less than 24 points per contest.

that he had slipped from the contenders’ class, has been promised that victory will mean a rematch with. the titleholder, Freddy (Red) Cochrane. Promoter Ross Miller is negotiating to have Cochrane oppose tonight’s winner at Chicago sometime in April. Zivic, veteran of 152 fights, was

National League Do Twin Bills for Workers

NEW YORK, Feb. 27 (U. P.).—The official 1942 National league schedule announced today disclosed 76 double-headers resulting from. increased night baseball to. accommodate leisure hours of America’s de-

fense workers.

The “play ball” ultimatum issued by President Roosevelt to" ‘boost the nation’s morale caused a reorganization of the loop’s original sched-

ule to include 84 night games— twice the number played last year. The increased number of twin bills, 34 more than last year, was a direct result. The season opens April 14 with Brooklyn at New York, Boston at Philadelph i a, Pittsburgh at Cincinnati and Chicago at 8t. Louis. The second “opening day,” April 17, has Philadelph {i a at Brooklyn, New York at Boston, Cincinnati at Chicago and ‘St. Louis at Pittsburgh. + Another wartime increase finds the league staging two allstar games expected to raise $150,000 for the major league's ball and bat fund to purchase baseball equipment for army and navy camps. The first will be played July 6 at the New York Polo Grounds and the second July 7, possibly at Cleveland. League moguls at a recent meeting approved increasing the number of night games from seven to 14 for six of the clubs, Boston and Chicago, lacking facilities, do not play nocturnal ball at home. National League President Ford Frick and the owners then had to

readjust , ‘the schedule. Major League policy has been to take a day off’ after a night game. Thus, with 14 night games at six clubs, there was much: shuffling to allow each club to play 11 games at each of the other club’s parks and }1 games with each at home. Previ- | ous schedules held twin bills to a minimum because postponements cause additional double-headers and because of hardship to pitch-

j|ing staffs.

The Phils and St. Louis lead the

| league in double-headers with 12.

Brooklyn, New York, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati each are scheduled for 10; Chicago eight, and Boston, four.

Following a five-year-old policy, the clubs will continue to make four trips around the circuit de< spite the war and the pressure on transportation facilities. = These factors, it was feared, might force restriction to the old three-trip system, The National League season closes Sunday, Sept. 27, with Chi~ cago at St. Louis, Boston at New York, Brooklyn at Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh at Cincinnati.
