Squeeze P Past

| | Washington

Lions, 2 to 1

Bent a Little’

By HARRY MORRISON There’s that new pair of shoes, that time the train just missed your car, and then there’s that narrow squeak the Caps nad against Washington last night. For two periods, the Lions staved off attack after attack and kept the 3400 customers in a severe case of jitters with onslaughts of their own. Cleveland, with 66 points; still

'lleads the loop, with five games to

play. The Caps, in second place with’ 64 points, have six games left, and Hershey, with five games remaining, is in third place with 62 points. Boys Were Off Once in the first period and once in the second, Washington was a man short, but Herbie Lewis’ boys couldn’t capitalize on the breaks. It was the old story of miss, miss, miss. With about 75 per cent of the action around the Washington goalie in the first two periods, he had only one more save each stanza than Joe (No! No!) Turner. That's how the boys were off. Maybe they knew, because with 5:11 of the third period gone, Fisher took a relay from Connie and Hal Jackson and rammed it home. Turner was fighting for his shutout and with about nine minutes of the period gone, he earned one.

{Conny Tudin and a couple of

Washington pals banged away at No! No! but Joe scooped in the puck and held as they pushed him into the cage. Shutout Fades He had his knee on the rubber as the whistle blew, but the Lions claimed it was a goal. The Caps made their second goal suddenly. There was a face-off to the side of the Washington net and Bill Jennings bounced it to Gus Giesebrecht, who lagged it a little further to Jud McAtee. Jud lifted it past Bert Gardiner’s left shoulder and the score was 2 to 0. Joe Fisher, a few minutes later, hit a Lion shoulder and was carried off the ice, favoring a leg. Afterward, he said the leg was all right, but he thought “it bent a little.” About three minutes later Tudin and Leo Lamoureux put an end to Turner's dream of a shutout by catching Joe “too many at one time.” Which they'll be reminded of when ‘Eddie ‘Shore, Mr. Hockey Himself, comes to Indianapolis Sunday with his Springfield Indians. Mr. Hockey will play, incidentally.

The boys rub it before each game and they're going to give that old gray railroad fireman's cap the Alladin treatment just before the gamé Saturday. !

Belore the sectional, their slogan was “On ‘the Ball,” but now that Anderson is the first opponent, they are thinking in terms of “We Did It fore, We Can Do It Again.” Greenfield teams have never won a regional title, but they think it’s about time for a change.

Ohio State May Win Its First Indoor Title

Indiana Weakened by Fred Wilts Ineligibility

CHICAGO, March 6 (U. P).— With a well-balanced cast topped by the brilliant Bob Wright, Ohio State was installed today as the heavy favorite in the Big Ten indoor track and field championships. Finals in all events are carded tomorrow night. Ohio State, although long a factor in Big Ten track circles, has fever won the indoor championship, - Wright, a husky blond that Ceach Larry Snyder ranks as the greates t hurdler in Ohio State’s history, was favored to win both the high and fow hurdies. He is the defending

{champion in the highs and was sec

The Hoosiers’ probable point total suffered a blow yesterddy when Fred Wilt, a distance runner, was declared ineligible. Wilt had turned in the best time .of any Big Ten performer this year in the twomile, negotiating the distance in 9:10.
