(JP) The Baltimore Orioles scored three times in the third period tonight to break a five game losing streak and: defeat the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets. 4-2, in an Eastern amateur ice hockey match.

It was a rough match and Pittsburgh outplayed the Orioles defensively and offensively most of the' way. There was a lot of high sticking during the first period and before the second started, Referee Bill Boyd called the players together, and urged them to keep their sticks down. Though the first period was scoreless, the rough play kept a capacity crowd on edge. Buckles. Oriole wing, and Donald.

By Jack Sell PASADENA, Dec. 27. (JP) Washington's Huskies moved into Pasadena tonight for final training as the West's representative in the Tournament of Roses football game with Pittsburgh New Year's Day. Breaking camp at Santa Barbara, where Coach Jimmy Phelan ironed out a lot of creaky muscles and frolicsome notions during the last week, the Coast Conference champions registered at a hotel within sight of the famous Rose Bowl in the Arroyo Seco. Tomorrow they will train in Brookside vs ow.

The Rox Rooneys won the sand-lot conference championship yesterday at Greenlee field, defeating the Washington Generals, 12 to 0, in a stubbornly fought contest. The visiting team offered a stiff resistance- through the first two periods and then attested their metal by holding the Rox team for four downs on the oneryard line only to weaken when the Rooneys started a second drive toward their goal line with Heavy Karkosky the spearhead of the attack. Steadily weakening under the power thrusts of the champions, the Generals gave way in the middle of the third period and Karkosky crashed his way through their defense to score. In the fourth period Pug Gliasquinta intercepted a Washington forward pass on his own 30-yard line and raced over for a touchdown. Both tries for conversion were low.

Featuring the afternoon's play was the ball toting of Karkosky and the fine defensive play of Tom Miller, Goorby and Goiltz, of the visitors. Lineup: ROX ROONEYS 12 WASH'GTON n. L. Millfr Rushik L. Flias Spipak I G1itz Durz" Lrnis R.

The Pitt Panthers remained at their training guarters in San Bernardino's noted Arrowhead Springs resort, and unless Coach Jock Sutherland changes his plans, will not come to Pasadena until the day before the game. Strict privacy will surround the remaining practice drills of both teams, the coaches turning thumbs down on all spectators well-wishing alumni included. With the Rose Bowl game long since sold out.

the "no visitors" sign can do no harm at the box office. Phelan's last practice at Santa Barbara brought indications that several of his hefty linemen, All-America Max Starcevich, Johnny Wiatrak, Chuck Bond and Vic Markov, have scaled off a few excess pounds picked up during the post-season layoff, and will be in perfect playing condition for the New Year's encounter. a severe leg injury almost on the eve of the Pitt game, but who gamely entered that crucial struggle and played until no longer able to continue. Vairo is easily the best punter on the Duke squad and his presence greatly bolster this phase of the game for the Red and Blue. He managed to play the last few minutes of the Marquette game, last of the regular schedule, and has been showing his old form in practice, here.

If he is not in the pink, Boyd Brumbaugh will attend to the punting duties. There will be no lack of reserves for Vairo should the Monongahela lad not start. Fleet George Matsik, Jim Cassillo and Vince McKeeta all have sparkled at that post during the past season and all are anxious for the assignment. Roofers Go Along.

The local party entrained in the Pennsylvania ytatinn yesterday morning at and was given a rousing sendoff by a large crowd of loyal follcwers. who assembled for the getaway despite the early hour.

"Give them the same dose you handed Pitt and Marquette" seemed be the general farewell of the stay-at-homes to the departing heroes. The Bluffites reached Washington shortly after 5 o'clock last night and their special cars were shifted to the Seaboard Line over which they will travel all the way to their destination. Except, for the usual short stopovers during which the players were to indulge in calisthenics, there will be no chance for any practice sessions en route. Coach Clipper Smith, however, intends holding a few skull drills while the Dixie scenery is flying by. Kerh Miami Tnnicht.

The team is due in Miami at 5:20 this evening and they will be taken immediately to Miami Bearh and their headquarters at the Flamingo Hotel. quarters will be set up at Flamingo Park, which is only a short distance from the hotel. On Thursday the Duke skipper may take his proteges to the Orange Bowl for their final tuneup but he will not make a final decision on their bit of strategy until after arrival in the east coast city. Every member of the squad, all 34 of whom are making the southern invasion, reported in good physical condition yesterday. Coach Smith indicated, however, that he will not make his final decision on several positions in his starting lineup until the day preceding the big battle.

By Jo Meizcr SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 27 (JP) Eastern football stars, assembled for the annual East-West charity game here New Year's day, braved rain and a slippery field again today for an outdoor workout.

But for the second successive day their western rivals remained indoors, going through practice paces in the huge Stanford University gymnasium. Wet weather had held no terrors for the eastern boys, coached by Andy Kerr of Colgate and Dick Hanley. formerly of Northwestern. Larry Kelley, Yale's all-American end, put on a one-man show with repeated catches of a slick ball. The Western squad ran through its complete list of plays, put in some time on dummy scrimmage and tossed passes.

Despite daily backfield shifts. 1t is virtually certain main ball carrying duties will be divided between Kent Ryan of Utah State and Ed Goddard of Washington State. The passing and kicking will fall to Sam Francis. all-America star from Nebraska and Ray Peterson of the University of San Francisco, who will alternate at fullback. Si OUT THE OLD!
