 The New Haven polo team appeared on the surface last night with the vet eran Jimmy Canavah at it's head. Bone was the first man to make his appear anee; he was closely followed by Hobe Whiting. who has been out of the game since his accident at Hartford. He re- ceiyed cordial reception from the rooters, who likewise set up a shout when the familiar figure of Canavan made it's appearance.
 Waterbury, who have been playing in the hardest kind of luck lately were the Blues opponents. They came without an extra man and were compelled at times to play without both Williams and and Holderness. whose skates gave way. The game was so much one-sided that the rooters failed to get In any of their usual bursts of enthusiasm. The Blues scored the first goal before the Tigers were aware of the fact, and thirty sec- onds later saw Bone again drop the ball into the netting. Four more goals fell to the Blues in quick succession, their fine passing completely nonplussing the Tigers.
 After New Haven had scored their fifth goal Roberts, during a scrimmage in front of Lations' goal, scored for Waterbury. The goal was got more by luck than by good guiding and Lations could not be blamed for its loss.
 In the second period only one goal was scored, and that by Whipple. In the third period Whipple also scored the only goad male. The game, from New Haven point of view, was the fin- est that has been seen here for a long time. There is no question that Cana van will be strong addition to the team and ought also to be winning card. His playing last night, consider ing the fact that he has not had skates on for year, was really wonderful. He was cool at all times, showed great judgment in passing and did some splendid blocking. IIobe Whiting, who has been out of the game for three weeks, played one of his old time games and was credited with two of the goals made. Bone and Whiting played we'll together. Bone played his usual star game and Whipple connected better with him in his passes than he has for some time. Whipple worked hard and well deserved the goals he scored La tions put up strong game and was roundly applauded.
 Waterbury has taken another tumble and last night lost the fourth game to the Blues. They at times last night de- served better fate than that which was meted out to them. Roberts and Menard played hard and but for La tions' fine work would have scored sev- eral times. Holderness and Williams also played a hard game, but they found themselves most of the time un- able to cope with the Blues fine pass ing Cusick made some wonderful | stops. but he would shine to greater advantage if he would guard his cage a little better and leave the rushede to do their own work. It looks absurd to see a goal-tender up in the center of | the rink, especially when the side which | he represents Is not winning. This is weak point of the Kids and the soon- CT he gets over it the better it will be for himself and the team he represents Summary:
