The triumph keeps Detroit within two points of the league-leading Montreal Canadiens, who walloped Chicago, 10 to Detroit clinched the game by scoring four toys in the first 10 minutes. It marked the fifth time the Wings have beaten Toronto this winter.

McSpaden played steady, if not spectacular golf.

In the first round, when he tied with Sam Byrd, of Detroit, he had a 34-36. He reversed the figures in the second round. Byrd dropped back to 72 and a tie with Snead, Leland Gibson, of Randolph Field, and Georsre Schneiter, of Salt Lake City.

Skeeter and Mrs. Webb, daughter of Tiger Manager Steve live in New Orleans in the off season. Steve Owen, coach of the football New York Giants, is through having his team play Washington in the last two games of the regular schedule.

"In 1943 the Redskins finally beat us but put out so much they couldn't cope with the Chicago Bears in the playoff game," says Owen. "Last season the situation was reversed. We beat the Redskins two in a row, but the games were that our chances against Green Bay were killed." What Happened to Johnny Grigas? COACH PHIL HANDLER, of the Chicago Cardinals, has exactly seven possibilities for his 1945 team. Rolling north from New Orleans, Handler gave us the story on Johnny Grigas, star back of the Pittsburgh-Chicago Cardinal eleven. Johnny quit the team the night before the final game against the Chicago Bears.

"He worked days in a steel mill at a job where he had to stand all the time," says Handler. "The team practiced at night and because of a shortage of backs Grigas had to work out both on offense and defense. Then Sundays he played sixty-minute football. The strain was too great, and he finally gave up." Football puzzler: Can a player make a fair catch on the kickoff? The answer is yes. Athletic Director Ralph H.

The major baseball leagues, for instance, have 281 players with 4-F draft ratings among the 400 athletes used last year. If all were sent into military service or war industry suddenly, it is unlikely that baseball could survive. This despite the oft-asserted statement of the late K. M.

Landis, baseball commissioner; Ford Frick, president of the National League, and Will Harridge, of the American loop, that baseball "will continue as long as we have nine men on each club."

Basketball year, among many others might end tournament play on the links. College atahletics, supported in the main by pre-draft age athletes and naval trainees since Pearl Harbor, might suffer heavily through loss of 4-Fs if the Army lowers its physical standards.

The President recommended the enactment of a universal service act but urged the immediate enactment of legislation by which persons deferred because of physical disabilities find their places in the war effort. HOCKEY, whose playing talent comes primarily from Canada, would suffer little because of that fact and because of its own stringent rules which forbid the use of players deferred for any reason other than physical disability. it fi 4 1 1 Uj i Ui i- 1-W'-'. jT use'' 1 jf 1 i Badgers Lose MADISON, Wis (IP) With their scoring ace, Ray Patterson, on the bench, the University of Wisconsin cagers bowed to a smoother Northwestern team in the Big Ten opener, 52 to 37.
