EAGLES FAVORED TO WIN FROM ARROWS

WIN FROM ARROWS
 The New Haven Eagles are fa- yoPed to win their second game of the season to be played on home ice tomorrow night when they face off against the Philadelphia Ar rows. Bullet Joe" Simpson, man. ager of the Birds, saw his team break into the win column Wednes- day night in Philadelphia and upon his return to New Haven prom ised President Nate Podoloff that the club would repeat tomorrow night.
 The Eagles sent the Arrows down to a to 1 defeat and it is be- Heved by the players tnd Simpson that the margin of victory would have been much greater had play ing conditions been better. All dur ing the game heavy pea-soup mist hung over the playing sur face, which prevented the Eagles from playing their best game.
 The Arrows, like most of the Can-Am league clubs this season. will present a much changed line up over that seen last year. Most of the changes being In their starting
 
 Providence, has replaced Maury Roberts in the nets. and Bert Me Caffrey, fiery tempered defenseman with the Reds last year, has teamed with Nichols on the defense. Mo- Ca frey, in case oyu don't recall 1t, is the gent that lost the decision to "Yip" Redley in a fist swinging sortee near the end of last season. Lloyd Andy" Andrews, considered by many the cagiest player ever to play in the Can-Am, is back at cen ter with two newcomers taking his passes on the wing. The new men being Puzzle and Kilkin.
 HERE AND THERE
 Buddy Maracle, the Springfield Indians Indian puck hound for four years, has been let out by the Massachusetts club this year and has hooked on with the Bronx team, which incidentally is to be known as the Tigers rather than the Broncho's as previously an- nounced. The first two years with the Indians Marcale made many friends in the Elm City by his dogged style of play, but dur ing the last two made as many enemies because of his promiscuous stick swinging.
 Jakie Forbes did not have such a night night in the season open CT against the Boston Bruin Cubs Wednesday night. No less than four scores were made against Jake and if you know him like we ,io, you'll know that lot of beef was chewed in the Bronx after the game.
 The Eagles will be able to play on a full rink tomorrow night. The freezing system trouble at the Grove street end of the rink that would not function for last Sunday nights game has been re- paired and tomorrow's game should be that much faster. =.
 "F'lat" Walsh. the Eagles new goalie, demonstrated in last weeks game with Providence that he won't be outsmarted many times during the season. Near the close of the game when the entire New Haven team was pressing Tn Providence territory in an attempt to tie the score, sparky Vail ana Leo Gaudreault picked up the puck and started for the New Haven nef with no one between them and n score but Walsh. "Flat' braced himself In the center of the net and watched both men as they advanced. 0audreault was carrying the puck backhand and ms they closed in on Walsh he changed hands tipping off Walsh that he was going to make the shot and not pass to Vail. With this tipon Walsh &prsot about Vail and concentrated On the expected 0audfbault sh6t. 1T you wefe nf the game you know that nnuds feauli took the shot and that Walsh Haae Q beautiful stop. .ss
