Hockey Lions Arrive Tomorrow, Put On Contest Friday One of Canada’s top hockey play ers, Jimmy Wilson, was in town today awaiting the arrival of Coach Charley Good and the remainder of his 14-man Washington Lions squad tomorrow. The Lions were to end training in Toronto today and are to report here by noon tomorrow. They have scheduled workouts for Uline Arena ice tomorrow and Thursday and meet the Toronto Tip-Tops in an exhibition at mine's Friday night. Wilson, a veteran defenseman who has played hockey on the Pacific Coast for the past two seasons, for merly was a key man for the New York Rovers, and has skated for some of the better Canadian clubs. Wilson Is confident that Eastern League hockey will be a big hit in Washington. Players accompanyng Good here tomorrow include: Bruce Strong man, Sam Kelly, Alan Percival, Gor don Mirtle, Jack Mclntlre, Clare Walshe, George Kelly, Hal Mont gomery and Bill Chris, forwards; A1 Smith, Harold Johnson and Gordon McLeod, defensemen, and Mel Carey, goalie. Tickets for Friday bight's meeting of the Lions and Tip-Tops are on sale at Uline Arena and the Fair way Sporting Goods Co. Oliver; Backed to Tackle Louis In Champ's Exhibition Here "What local boxer will go in against Joe Louis in that three round exhibition at Uline Arena the night of November 13?” That was the question going the rounds of District fight fans today following Promoter Goldie Ahearn’s announcement that the world heavy weight champion, just back from six months overseas, would include Washington on his barnstorming tour of major cities during fur lough. Aheam today said he had not decided on an oponent for the champ, while an Associated Press story from New York named Jimmy Bell as the candidate. The Brown Bomber has advised promoters in the cities on his tour to provide rugged youngsters that will make him step and has indi cated that he wants to start warm ing up for postwar activities that would include a bout with Billy Conn. According to a consensus of local I fans, there’* only one local heavy weight who could give Louis that kind of a workout, and that’s Dixie Lee Oliver, the new big hit of the indoor season. Dixie has put on exhibitions with some top-notchers, including Melio Bettlna, and has shown that he can take care of him self and hand out plenty. Another angle is that Oliver won’t listen to orders about pulling punches when battling sacred cows, and he might give the fans their money's worth at Uline a week from Monday night. k Louis has been here but once In the past, when he made a successful defense of his championship against Buddy Baer at Griffith Stadium back in 1941. That bout drew a record breaking crowd that paid a gross gate of $95,000. Ahearn say* that he will back up the champ's exhibition with an all- i star boxing cart and announced' that the advance sale will open shortly.

After Dark News and Comment of the Night Clubs. Ttm« Mark Rwuurtd o s. Pa Mot oom Well, there you are ladles, never say the Spectator hasn’t done you a favor. We went to great length, the length of 60 minutes at least, to set tle the question once and for all— ”Do Gentlemen Prefer Blonds?”— particularly Latin gentlemen. Since he is from Central America, we fig ured the Treasure Island’s Mario Hurtabo should be well informed on the subject. Speaking for Latin men. Mario places his vote for blond members of the fair sex. But the Spectator wasn't going to let him gat off that easy. Mario has seen blonds in practically every country in the world and certainly he must have a preference even among blonds! Here are the results: Most beaur.i ful women (Viennese): best dressed women (American); most practical women (English): healthiest wom en (Dutch); most romantic women (Latin): most unpredictable (Irish). “What about the Parisian wom en?" we asked. < That stopped Mario for a moment. “I don't know how to say it, I guess; they’re the most tempting women,” he said. By the way, Mario Wfcs married three times, once to a Danish American, once to an Irish-Amer ican and once to an Italian-Amer ican. Is he going to marry again? “I hope not,” Mario said '* * * * There was real tragedy at the Lotus the other evening. Right in the middle of Magician Bobby Parker's rabbit act his assistant rushed out and whispered some thing to Bobby. i The rabbit was dead! “We had been nursing him for a cold for several days, but had no idea anything like that would hap pen," the magician said. Needless to say, Bobby couldn’t perform the rabbit trick. "Even my magic wouldn’t bring him back to life,” Bobby said, “and I realized that between shows I had to find myself a trained rabbit somewhere.” Now there's a problem. Where would one go looking for a trained rabbit in Washington? •'Frankly, I was stumped until I remembered that Blaekstone used rabbits in his act. I rushed over to the Capitol Theater and explained my plight, and do you know he pulled a rabbit for me right out of I Mil !

Mr. 8. explained his choice of pro fession to a gathering of the press thus: "You have to be a magician to make any money these days.” Of all things to tell the press! And Swann's a Harvard man, too. * * * * Strange noises were heard coming from the vicinity of the Trade Winds basement the other day. The Spec tator decided to have a look. The culprit turned out to be James Pat rick Byrnes, who appeared at the bottom of the stairs holding a strange-looklng object under his arm. Jimmy explained that the bit of apparatus was known as a danc ing mat. Naturally, by this time we had concluded that the noise was Jimmy practicing that tricky tap routine of his. * * * * Eddie Jones, pianist at the Cafe Caprice, says he Is not camera shy.

Deftness is the style in motoring. Tactics like swooping in and out of line seem wasted, when the little coupe—from miles behind—presently shows up any way in the "thrill-driver’s” mirror. That’s skill—making a'steady good average; not leaping and bounding to make it up. You’ll show still greater regard for dutiful mechanism by having your engine oil-plated—internally surfaced to resist corrosion by the un avoidable acids of combustion. Changing to Conoco motor oil will automatically give you an oil plated engine. Costly pioneer research created the special Conoco N*h ingre ♦ client that gives this popular-priced oil its magnet-like action. And that’s what joins oil-plating to inner engine sur faces, as if to stay. Adds stay too, these days—infesting every cylinder in unreasonable quan tities. Former chances of ousting cor rosive adds are decreased these days by low engine temperatures—longer stretches of standing cold—mileage limitations of any kind. But* you can keep your engine’s fine imw finish under cover of protective oil-plating —resisting corrosion! Just change to Conoco N*h motor oil at Your Mileage Merchant’s.
