Caps Start 6-Game- Road Trip After Crushing Hershey, 5-1,

To Narrow Hornets’ Lead

By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor

Having moved within one point of the league-leading Pittsburgh Hornets by defeating the Hershey

Bears, 5 to’ 1, at the Coliseum rink last night, the Indianapolis Caps now will depart on a six-game road trip, opening in Providence Thursday. The Caps will be away from the

home ice until Thursday, Nov. 30, Good

when they will meet the St. Louis

The Caps are undefeated at home but that long road journey is something else. In five road tilts to date they have won one game, tied one and lost three. At home they have won four, tied three and lost none. The home record: Indianapolis 2, Buffalo 1. Indianapolis 1, St. Louis 1 (tie). Indianapolis 1, Pittsburgh 1 (tie). Indianapolis 3, Buffalo 3 (tie). Indianapolis 6, St. Louis 3. Indianapolis 7, Cleveland 1. Indianapolis 5, Hershey 1. The Caps are undefeated since Oct. 28 when the Hornets downed them at Pittsburgh, 4 to 1.

Last-Period Goal Rush

The Caps defeated Hershey here last night by staging a goal rush in the third and final period before a huge crowd of 8194 cash customers, Counting the servfcemen in the audience, total at~] tendance was estimated at 8500. ‘It was an enthusiastic crowd, the largest of the new season here, and the fans roared their approval as the Caps stormed the Hershey net in the final session. Until that time, the Bears were out in front, 1 to 0, as the result of a goal by Tommy Forgle at 16:35 of the first period. He was assisted by Ra Pozzo and

another goal for Indianapolis. The

Caps rushed the Hershey cage and the red light blinked. After an argument, however, Referee George Hayes ruled it no goal. At this stage, Hershey Goalie Damore was hopping mad. So the Caps barged down the ice again with speed to burn and Pete Leswick rammed one through Damore on an assist by Kowocinak., It was 17:57 of the period. But the Caps weren't through.

Shafer died in the university infirmary after collapsing in the early minutes of the fourth quarter. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Shafer, Madison. Coach Harry Stuhldreher and his aids held a conference yesterday but the Wisconsin mentor said he planned no immediate statement on Shafer’s death.

~ NEW YORK, Nov. 13 (U. P).~—~ The magnificent Army and Navy football teams left no reasonable doubt today that the national grid-

when they play their “secret serv-

ice” game at Annapolis Dec. 2. Unless something catastrophic befalls them in their tests this weekend when Navy plays Purdue and Army opposes Pennsylvania, the final battle played before the Midshipmen and Cadets may be one of the greatest college matches of all time. Certainly everything in the makeup of the teams indicates it will be nothing short of titanic. The burden of proof was all on Army when it faced a Notre Dame team that Navy had dpubbed 32-13 and which had hexed the Cadets for 13 long years, It took courage along with ‘superior might and manpower to erase that stigma which had denied them victory over the Irish since 1931, but they came through—amazingly.

They Had the Backs

Winning, 59-0, for the most decisive victory ever scored against the Irish, the Cadets seldom sent the same back on a touchdown mission. So diversified was the soldier attack that their top back, All-America-bound Felix Blanchard, never had an opportunity to smash for a touchdown. Anyway he was too busy blocking and tackling for the rest of the boys. Defensively, the Cadets threw up a barrier whenever Notre Dame made a bid. They hit so hard the Irish fumbled 15 times, yet that same deflated team was rated number one among college elevens in the nation less than two weeks ago.

Big-Timers Face Tests

Ohio State, Mississippi State, Yale and Army, the only major perfect record college teams remaining, have some of their stiffest opposition directly ahead. It is conceivable that each might tumble from the ranks Saturday. The Buckeyes play Illinois, Mississippi State opposes Alabama's once-beaten crimson tide and Yale entertains North Carolina in an intersectional game: Notre Dame tries a rebound against® Northwestern, and other midwest games included Great Lakes-Marquette, Iowa-Minnesota, Indiana-Pittsburgh, and MichiganWisconsin. In- the Big Six, Kansas plays Oklahoma, Missouri goes outside to oppose Iowa Pre-Flight and Iowa State takes on Drake.

Strong Lad 1

Grid Giants to

Moral Victory

NEW YORK, Nov. 13 (U. P) Ken Strong, the 37-year-old New York Giant place-kicking star, couldn't be blamed today for feeling more frustrated and weary than at any other time, in’ a ‘grid career that spans half of his lifetime. And no family press association could record what his Giant teammates think of the fate that denied the victory in the final split minute: of their game with the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday. The Giants, two touchdown underdogs in their second meeting with the unbeaten Eagles, played exactly according to advance predictions—for . three periods. But they were like a new team when they snapped into. the fourth perfod, trailing 21 to 7. With two quick touchdowns and conversions, they wiped out that deficit. Then came the climactic moment.

Goal Doesn't Count

With 35 seconds to go and the ball 43 yards out, Strong came up with measured stride and booted a sharp "angle field goal perfectly. The Giants whooped, cheered, hugged each other—but not for long. Field Judge Eddie Try rushed out to bring them the sad tidings that they had been penalized for delaying the game and that the field goal didn’t count. That left it up to Strong to try again, this time almost from midfield, but the Eagles were alerted and: the ball was blocked by their frantic line, The 21-21 tie was a moral victory, though it didn’t help the Giants in the standing since National league pro, rules kept tie games from figuring. Philadelphia, despite the tie, remained deadlocked with the Washington Redskins atop the eastern division standings. The Redskins were hard pressed

Tigers, who played their best game of the season in holding the heavily favored capital eleven to a scoreless standoff for three periods. Sammy Baugh, who hit with 11 of 20 passes for 149 yards, gave the Redskins their only touchdown with a long toss to Bob Seymour that netted 72 yards. Packers Come Back

The Green Bay Packers recouped nicely after their upset defeat by the Chicago Bears last week and handed the Cleveland Rams their worst defeat of the season, 42-7, to improve their status as western division pace setters. Don Hutson, Green Bay pass receiver, who was held scoreless last week for the first time in 14 years, made two toychdowns on tosses from Irv Comp, who scored a third one himself: The Detroit Lions with Frankie Sinkwich personally accounting for every point, defeated the Chicago Cardinal-Pittsburgh Steelers, 21-7.
