But the Pirates rallied to catch up and the Eagles, after dashing into the lead once more, stalled out the last three minutes of the fracas to claim the victory. Henley ran into a Cougar quintet which didn't warm up until well into the third quarter, In the meantime the Hornets had established a substantial lead and were not seriously trou bled once the Illinois Valley gang did get hitting. Illinois Valley was so cold that it went almost 12 minutes of the first half without scoring. Eagle Point went in front of Phoenix 4 to 2 on Carl Chris tian's side shot three minutes into the game.

At the same time the EP de fense gave Phoenix little chance to shoot in close. Forced to try for points from long range, the Pirates couldn't find the mark consistently until the final half. Eagle Point, itself, missed a good number of shots in the second half. The Eagles cashed in on 17 out of 46 from the field and 14 out of 24 from the gift stripe. Phoenix figures were 15 for 51 and 11 for 18.

Smith 2 'Skins, Stamps Puff Peace Pipe Philadelphia (U.R) Commis sioner Bert Bell of the National Football League said today the trail-blazing Washington-Calgary "no raiding" agreement points to peace in the gold war be tween the NFL and the Canadian Fotball League. "It is a fine step in the right director," said Bell, who indi cated the peace-pipe puffs taken by the Redskins and the Stam peders will lead to other hands across the border pacts. Hopes For Rush Bell said he hoped there would be a rush of agreements between teams in both the NFL and CFL leagues on an indi vidual basis "so there will be no more trying to persuade a boy to break his moral word and legal contract." A sidelight of the "armistice" between the Redskins and the Stampeders was Washington's calling off a $50,000 damage suit filed last week against Jack Hennemier, Calgary coach and former Maryland line coach, who had signed Redskin lineman Dick Modzelewski and Bob Mor gan to Canadian contracts.
