...increase worry for the German High Command. Last week the Admiralty departed from this custom, announced the sinking in one day of two U-boats by one British destroyer. Emphasized-to encourage neutrals-was the fact that these U-boats had attacked a convoy off Ireland. Additional fact: they sank at least one of the convoyed ships (the Canadian Beaverburn).

High scorer Warren Winslow, who sank the rubber 10 times this season, usually sparks the Crimson attack at the center position on the first line. A good stick-handler and passer, Winslow has been surprisingly subtle in evading opposing defensemen and in setting up plays.

It had been rumored that the German planes had "puncture-proof" fuel tanks which, though riddled, enabled them to fly beyond capture. Last week Britain released details of the puncture-proofing, learned by experts from examination of a Heinkel bomber downed in Scotland's Lammermuir Hills in the war's eighth week...
