I Vil --TST. ANDREW I I KALAMAZOO-' A --v ERIE Gordie Gets 38th Goal in 4-0 Victory Sawchuk Ties Mark with His 10th Shutout BY MARSHALL DANN Howe pitching and Sawchuk catching. That sounds like a baseball battery, but actually it's the Red Wing combination which starred in a 4-0 victory over the Boston Bmins before 11,179 Olympia fans. Howe "pitched" in two goals and broke a pair of all-time De- i troit scoring records. Sawchuk caught every Boston shot thrown at him there weren't many for his 10th shutout of the season to tie another club record.

He also made a big gain in the Vezina Trophy battle. Sawchuk's edge in the Vezina scramble is five goals with five games left to play. SAWCHUK had an easy night as he recorded his second whitewash job in a row, following a 7-0 affair Sunday in Chicago. He1 made only 10 saves, three in thej second period and but one in the' last and needed special effort only for the final stop. i The 10 shutouts equals a mark posted by Clarence (Dolly) Dolson In 44 games back in 1928-29.

While Sawchuk's shutout bid carried right down to the final second, Howe whipped through! his record-breaking work early. i HIS FIRST GOAL, a screen shot in the fourth minute of play, was his 37th tally of the campaign. That betters Carl Lis-combe's mark for the most goals in one season, set in 1943-44. Howe's second counter, after bulling his way through the Boston defense in the second period, added to that record, and set another. It was his 79th point of the campaign, one more than Ted Lindsay made last year for the previous high.

The National Hockey League's scoring leader by a wide margin. Howe now is only three points sway from the league mark of 82 points scored by Boston's Herbie Cain in 1943-44. i I REISE REACHES TO CLEAR PUCK WHILE SPRAWLED Ox ICE AT OLYMPIA Woody Dumart (white jersey) and Marty Pavelich can only watch play CALLS IT ACT OF MURDER WOULD FIGHT Surgeon Takes Jab at Boxing Ez Sore at Walcott PITTSBURGH VP) Ezzard Charles says he's willing to meet Jersey Joe Walcott again "if he has any doubt in his mind that I wasn't the winner in Detroit last week."

A punch to the jaw can produce such a force. A boxer, Dr. Vogel said, can become punch drunk after absorbing a series of lesser head blows over a long period.

John's of Brooklyn, 69 to 62, in a semifinal struggle of the National Invitation bas ketball tourney at Madison Square Garden. A crowd of 15,000 believed the Flyers were on their way to defeat when St. John tied the regula tion game at 58-58 in the last 35 seconds and then went ahead by 62-59 at the start of the extra period. But Dayton closed with a rush in the last two minutes to win. DAYTON, by its exciting victory, earned the right to play for the championship Saturday night.

Dayton's opponent will be Bringham Young, 69-59 victor over highly touted Seton Hall in the other half of the double-header. Dayton's victory was the more remarkable in that the Flyers played without their star, Don Meineke, for the last 19 minutes. MEINEKE WENT out with four personal fouls with 14 minutes remaining in the second half. He returned for only a minute at the eight-minute mark, committed his fifth personal and was banished for good. Taking up the slack with the six-toot-seven Meineke on the bench was six-foot-five Charles Grigsby, who scored 19 points.
