(A. The New York Americans kept their record clear of defeat and climbed to the top of the Interna tional dlvison of the National hockey league tonight by taking 1 to 0 decision from the Ottawa Senators. Ottawa also was undefeated up to this time. The teams had played a tie in their first meet ing of the season. A brilliant individual play by Normie Himes brought the only goal of the game.

In the middle of the second period, Himes worked his way through the entire Ottawa team to within a few feet of the coal and beat Connell with a per fect shot into the upper corner of the net. Flat Walsh, goalie borrowed from the Montreal Maroons, took the lion's share of the honors for the victory. Several times during the final period he alone staved off a score after the fast Ottawa attack had passed its way through the other American defenders. AMEHIl'ANS OTTAWA. Walsh Goal Connell Relie K.

Strengthened by the return of Hooley Smith, regular center, the Maroons had no ditilculty in checking every Toronto offensive effort while the Maple Leafs' defense crumbled in the face of the continual driving power of the Montreal attack.

Ward figured in the scoring of three of the goals, driving in two himself and passing to Smith for another. Stewart got the other on a brilliant bit of individual work in the first period. MAROONS TORONTO Benedict Goal Chahot 8ietert I Dutton Day H. Smith Careon Stewart R. Cox Ward L.

27. (A. The Boston Bruins shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates I to 0 here today to become runners-up in the American division of the National Hockey league. The game, featured by the defense play of both teams, threatened to end in a scoreless tie until the third period was reached. Four minutes after play started in that session, both forward lines staged a scrimmage about the Pirates' cage.

Harry Oliver fought his way through the pack and was in front of Joe Miller, Pirate goelie, when Frederlckson circled the visitors' cage. Oliver caught his pass out and jabbed it past Miller. The Pirates tried to even matters, but the Bruins' defensive game was much too tight for their forwards until the bell ended the fray. Lineups and summary: BOSTON PITTSBURGH.

recognizes that Miller can swing a left hook harder than any fighter who has ever been in the ring with him. In addition. Miller is a very fast boxer. If he gets his left hook in, it can do the Iirshman a lot of damage. Has Defense for Left Sammy Mandell, the champion, saved his title by keeping McLarnin away with a left and preventing him from getting in a knockout blow.

That was six months ago, i and McLarnin has shown enough in the gymnasium since he has been here to convince his followers that he can now defend himself against a bor er who sends them at him from the left side. Hal Hixon, Miller's manager, sent his fighter through a hard afternoon of work yesterday at the Tuxedo Athletic club and planned to give him more boxing today. Hixon believes Miller will fight at his best if he gets plenty of work in advance. He says Miller has picked up speed every day since he started training at the Tuxedo and he Is convinced that Miller will be improved by boxing one day longer than McLarnin does. Miller licks Touch Ones.

Miller had two sparring partners in the ring with him again yester and they were both much hard- opponents than the two ami Paul Miller and Jack Mallory. who opposed McLarnin. Miller had expected to have the Perlick twins. Herman and Henry, of Kalamszoo, to work with yesterday. They agreed to be at the gymnasium but when Miller was ready to box they were not there.

Pennsylvania, W. and J. and other eastern teams have gone to the Pacific. But California. Stanford and U.

S. C. have never come further east than Chicago, and U. S. C.

is the only coast team that has come that far. unless there is another large kink in memory. Stanford has a better football team this season than its record shows. Pop Warner has a powerful line and big, hard-running backs. What effect the trip will have is another matter.

Yost still tells of the day he took his old Michigan team from the snow of Ann Arbor to the summer heat of Stanford and won 49 to 0, without making a substitution. But Ann Arbor is closer to California than California is to New York. Warner, onef the best and most colorful of all the coaches, a veteran dating back to 1895, has two star guards in Post and Robeskey and a full share of backfield strength in Hoffman, Fleishacker, Wilton, etc. He had hoped to come east with an -unbeaten team to meet an unbeaten Army lineup. But the list of the unbeaten among those who nave played hard schedules is extremely thin about this time of year.

For all that the Stanford-Army game In New York will bring about a meeting of two strong teams, about as far apart as you can find two teams until they stir up a rivalry between Hawaii and Bermuda, Coast Stars. Some of the best backs on the coast this season include Carroll, of Washington; Lorn, of California; Williams and Thomas, of Southern California; Hoffman and Fleishacker, of Stanford. Thomas, of Southern California, is one of the best blocking backs and one of the best defensive backs in football. His two older brothers starred for Chicago several seasons ago, where they were among the best NATIONAL LEAGUE. AMERICAN DIVISION.

Coach Wieman was still searching for a capable forward passer when his eye was caught by Truskowski. Ever since then the former Detroit star has borne the passing burden. But to pull "Truck" back for passes alone was not conductive, to deception, and the last two games found him being used In the role of plunging fullback put of the time with a great amount of success. 'A Threw Sport Man. So big Joe Truskowski, six feet tall and weighing 190 pounds, comes to the helm as one of the most versatile of captains.

Not only has "Truck" been versatile In football but he is also a three sport man like nis l- predecessor. Benjamin Gaylord Oosterbaan: So sue- cessful has the captain-elect been at end mat nis name has been found already on several All-Conference selections. This afternoon Truskowski reported for basketball and is expected to make a strong bid for a regular berth. Two years ago he was on the squad and though not a regular was awarded his letter by Coach Mather. Truskowski is also a baseball player, receiving his "AHA" two years ago as a catcher.

Prep Days Recalled. In his prep school career at Detroit Northeastern, the new captain had almost as varied a career as he has had at Michigan. There too he was a three sport man, winning letters In football, basketball and baseball. He played center bia first two years with the grid team and in his senior year transferred to fullback, gaining all-city honor. He was regular center on the basketball quintet at Northeastern and was catcher on the star bat- tery of Molenda ana Truskowski In the baseball season.

write Jirjeri Diamond. 264S Columbus avenue. i Hockey Facts successor to the older Thomas tribe. Carroll Is one of the best backs of the year. Warner probably has the best pair of guards now in football in Post and Robeskey.

They are a big part of his line strength. Yale and Harvard Material. Quite a bit has been penned, here and there, about Yale and Harvard material this season. This material had certain vital weaknesses. Yale has lacked foot speed most of the year.

Ellis, Injured part of the season, has been the only fleet-footed back. Cagle literally ran around or away from Yale backs In the Army game. Outside of Hoban, Yale has had no first-class passer who could throw a football with any spark of genius. Harvard has had the power and speed, but no passer of any great merit. Gllligan was probably the Crimson's best In this department.

Building up good passers is not as simple as it sounds. It is a knack by itself. A good passer has to be instinctively an artist at this job. And a good passer Isn't made in a season. A coach might take a big, fast man, and make a good tackle or guard in two months.

He can't take raw material and make a good passer or a good kicker in two years, unless the athlete in question happens to have a decided knack in that direction. Kicking and passing belong to the upper reaches of football science. They call for greater skill than any other part of football. This is shown by the fact that not one team this season out of 10 has had a high grade, first-class kicker who could be depended on, game after game. George Brookes and Sam Feltons are scarcer than snowstorms along the equator.

PANTS' To Match Year Coat and Vest" Tit PANTS STORE CO. BROADWAY 141 BWs NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (A. Young men who play hockey for a livelihood do not hit a bit harder or play nearly as roughly as collegians who churn up the ice, perfectly willing to do or die for dear old Harvard, Yale or Princeton. This is the belief of Myles Lane, once the ace of the Dartmouth hockey team and the first American college star to enter professional ranks.

Last Sunday night Lane made his debut here with the world champion New York Rangers and echoes of the cheers that greeted his play then still are ringing in his ears. The youth who for two years was one of the highest scoring halfbacks in the land frankly admits that he has yet to find his bearings in professional sport. Must Watch 'Em All. "The big difference between amateur and professional hockey, of course, is the speed and versatility of the league players," said Lane. "It is no longer a question of watching one or two good men on a team.

Seventeen bouts In five classes mak'e up an Invitational boxing program in which amateur boxers of Detroit will make their fifth start of the season at the Knights of Columbus auditorium tonight. Some of Detroit's most prominent amateurs will take part in tonight's contests.

Christ church's strong bojeing squad, which has been carrying off the major portion of the fistic honors so far this season, has entered 10 men and will be represented at every weight. Christ Church's Entry. The church entry list includes Peter Rettich, sate amateur middleweight champion; John Chast-ney, hard-hitting welterweight; Harry Fortune, lightweight, recently recruited to Christ church ranks from Bushway post, and Kay Mack, slugging bantam. "Six Toes" Joslin, former Tiger mascot, will also compete in the bantamweight class for Christ church. Red Abbott, southpaw welterweight, who has been working out with Jimmy McLarnin, lightweight contender, heads the seven entrants of the Detroit Young Men's Christian association in tonight's bouts.

East End Has One. The East End Athletic club, last year's winner of the K. of C. club championship, has only one entrant, while 14 unattached boxers make up the balance of the card.

"At Dartmouth, when we played smart teams, the good men were spotted and at least two of our players were assigned to cover them. If you tried that in this game you'd pretty soon have twice as many men on the ice as the rules allow. "Then, too, most of the college stars could only go to one side. They set for shots and they hadn't any idea of the dribbling and passing that make up professional hockey. These fellows go either way, and how they go.

They are smart and tricky. It seems as though they can shoot standing on one ear Flay the Man Now. "Fundamentally, college and professional hockey are foended on a different basis. At Dartmouth, the team was taught to play the puck entirely. Here we play the man and forget there is such a thing as a puck.

Of course when three forwards come flying at you, passing between them down by the goal, you have to think of both and usually end up by getting the wrong man. Then the goal tender plays the puck for all he is worth. "It is only natural that when men make their living playing one game they specialize, practice, and become proficient to an extent beyond any college athlete. They put a great deal of feeling into their game, too, but they never could get as rough as college players in their to do or die for alma mater." The greatest surprise that has come to him, Lane says, is the caliber of the men playing this game for weekly pay checks. The rest of the Rangers root for him on the ice, encourage him from the sidelines, teach him the little intricacies of the pastime, and do everything possible to help him along.

New Yorkers Like Him. Despite his limited experience, the hockey fans of New York have taken this big, curly black-haired youngster from Melrose, to their hearts. In the Sunday game with Pittsburgh, his first full-time appearance, Lane stepped into the normal defense role of "Chlng" Johnson and later "Taffy" Abel so completely that he found himself in the penalty box three times. The first time he was sent off the ice, the crowd cheered politely. The second time they were more enthusiastic.

And when he came right back from that penalty and bowled over the first Pirate to come near him, the fans gave in entirely, yelling wildly as he skated back to the "pen." New Yorkers like their hockey rough. That's That Court Game Must Be More Strenuous Than Grid. East Lansing, Nov. 27. (A.
