PAGE - LINCOLN'S GRIDIRON Metropolitans Starting to Invade North Tonight Loss of Roy Rickey ‘Te Blow to Mets; Victoria Has Edge, Playing on Own Ice; Fraser Has Terrific Shot; Pitrie Dean of All Hockey Players; Gossip BY LEO LASSEN T the start of the present hockey race Seattle jumped right off into the lead by winning two straight games, but then Wednesday the Vancouver Maroons dumped the Mets for their first loss, and tonight the Mets will be fighting for the league leadership with Vic- toria in the British Columbia capital. The Aristocrats lost their opener to Seattle here and then licked Vancouver twice. The Northerners will have the advantage of playing on their home ice, and the Seattle outfit will be weakened by the loss of Roy Rickey who has torn the ligaments in the back of his right leg. Rickey will be out of the game for a week or more. In the meantime Gordon Fraser, the Seattle youngster, will hold down his position. The Aristocrats is the team to beat this year, according to the Seattle team.

Season With Big Games Lincoln Must Win Saturday to Hook Title; Ballard | and West Seattle to Fight it Out for Cellar Honors; Strong Offensive Lincoln vs. Best Defensive Tigers BY LEO H. LASSEN OME wise gazaboo once yodeled that it sure would raise hades if an immovable object and an irresistible force ever did their stuff vs. each other And that’s just what’s going to happen out on Denny field tomorrow afternoon when the Lincoln Raileplitters and the Broad- way Tigers do their football skit for the multitude. 4 SS A minute perusal of the prep records { k for the year shows that Lincoln is leading in scoring, with 56 points scored, while Broadway is the best defensive eleven, with only 10 points tallied by the opposition, the one touchdown being the result of an inter- cepted pass. And yet those 10 points knocked Broadway right out of the prep race as Ballard beat 'em 7 to 0 and Queen Anne tossed the hooks into the Tigers to the tune of 8 to 0. : But the Tigers will call it a successful season if they can lick Lincoln tomorrow or even tie the North Enders. The way things stand, Lincoln must win to cinch the high school title. A tie game would leave them 50-60 on the season for the lead with Franklin and the title would revert to the Quakers, who won in 1921. A loss gives the | title to Franklin. Last year Lincoln was figured at least two touchdowns better than the Pine st. eleven, but the Tigers pulled the biggest upset of the year and won out, 7 to 0, in a bitter game.
