Red Wings One Game From Title

Whip Leafs, 5-2, in 21-Penalty Tilt

DETROIT, April 10 (U. P).—The fighting Detroit Red Wings today were only one game away from the National hockey leagues Stanley cup—which they last held in 1937— following their third consecutive victory hong the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-2, before 13354 fans at Olympia stadium. Detroit, a 5 to 2 underdog when the final started, scored its third win in as many starts in the best-of-seven series last night in one of the wildest games ever played here. The fourth game will be played here Sunday night. The Wings spotted Toronto two goals in a wide open first period in which Referee Norm Lamport handed out eight penalties in the first 16 minutes. Then Detroit came roaring back with two goals within 38 seconds to tie the score, added two more in the second session and clinched the game with one in the third.

Bush Outstanding

Fddie Bush, bulky Detroit defenseman, was the Wings’ outstanding player, scoring one goal, making four assists and breaking up a number of threats. Don Grosso, first line center of the Red Wings, added two points to his playoff total to approach to withih one point of the all-time playoff record set by Bill Cowley of Boston in 1938. Jack Stewart of the Wings was in the penalty box when Lorne Carr slapped Billy Taylor's rebound through Detroit Goalie Johnny Mowers at 15:36. Carr made it 2-0

|by netting Taylor's pass 80 seconds

later. But the Wings came rocketing up from behind when Jerry Brown scored at 18:20 on passes by Eddie Bush and Stewart and 38 seconds later Joe Carveth rammed Bush's shove past Toronto Goalie Turk Broda. Wings Go Into Lead

Rookie Winger Pat McCreavy put Detroit ahead to stay when he caged the puck at 13:12 off the see-

ond period on passes from Grosso {and Bush.

The Wings increased their lead at 15:11 when Syd Howe, on assists from Gosso and Bush, scored while Bingo Kampman was off the ice. Bush tallied the final goal at 7:11 of the third on a pass from Carl Liscombe. Numerous brawls resulted in’ 21 penalties, including 10-minute misconduct penalties against Jimmy Orlando and Bddie Wares, both of Detroit, Detroit's victory came at heavy cost. however, for Abel collided with MeCreavy midway in the first period and it was believed he suffered a jaw fracture which might bench him for the rest of the series,

Streams Are High, Most Lakes Local Teams On

By TIM TIPPEYT THE MEN WHO SHUDDERED at a few inches of snow a month ago today are out up to their knees in water whipping the streams for fish—and probably not a sneeze among them. With warm weather a definite possibility the 1942 fishing season

is off to a fast start.

Unlike the duck season, which had a slow start, the fishing sea-

son started out good and the conservation department sees no reason why conditions should change. “Fishing has been good, fishing is good, and fishing is going to be good.” is the way the experts put it. > . 2 ”

Large Mouth Bass

Everywhere The season will be open until May ist on all fish except trout. Conservation officials report that fish have been taken on fly rods for the last few weeks and that largemouth bass have been taken all over the state, A few small mouth bass have been caught and of course the bullheads have been biting ever since the ice melted. Because of the recent heavy rains most streams are high. However, most of the lakes are clear and fishing is excellent. One thing that the fishermen must remember this year is that the war effort necessarily has closed many favorite fishing spots to the public. For instance, Greenwood lake near Burns City has been closed for the duration, The huge powder plant is there and not all fishermen may be carrying nothing but fish in their

Williams Dam 0. K. However, the Williams dam on White river, north of Shoals, is open to fishermen. Because most dams are in forbidden areas to fishermen this favorite of many anglers was assumed t© be among them. Youre welcome at the Williams dam. Claude Allison, local theater man, is probably one of the best fishermen in these parts. At least, Claude has spent more time fishing than most. We asked him to list some of his favorite spots for us and here they are: Fall creek where it meets Ine dian creek for smallmouth bass, ‘They weigh from 2 to ¢ pounds. s ®

Hinkle Grooms Butler Nine

Coach Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle re-

sumed his duties with his orphaned | Butler baseball squad this week in The |

a series of indoor practices. Bulldog diamond team had been without a mentor for the first three weeks of practice while Hinkle was on leave of absence at Great Lakes, Illinois. Rain and a soggy field forced the baseball aspirants into the Butler fieldhouse for practice sessions. with Coach Hinkle concentrating his efforts on the pitching staff. Both Captain Guy Tex and Robert Fletcher, leading hurlers of last vear's squad, will not return this year, Tex was declared ineligible for competition because of an insufficient academic load, and Fletcher has withdrawn from school. The Butler nine opens its season next Friday agains Franklin on the Grizzlies’ field. The Bulldogs make their first home stand against the DePauw Tigers in a double-header the following day.
