 In what was expected to be close and hard fought game turned out to be runaway, as the Hoiy Cross, underdogs In the fray, start cd off with a bombardment on their rivals basket, and tied the stanford team for the leadership of the K, of l.. community basketpali league. The final score read Holy Cross 30. Stanford 15, following last nights important game at Barnard school gym.

KAPLAN AND RAND
 IN SEMI-FINAL
 TO TONY AND 'KEED'

It was just a year ago Saturday that Tony Canzoneri wen the worlds lightweight championship from Al Singer in one round in Madison Square Garden. Twice in the fiscal year he defended his title successfully against Jack Kid Berg, the first time stopping Jack in three rounds and later to earn a fifteen round decision over him. He starts on his second year as the champion to meet the toughest of them all in Kid Chocolate.
 Canzoneri Is the style of cham pion that the fans ii'n and his ever readiness to de. d his title has earned him a host of follow CTS that compares to that throng which used to follow Benny Leon- ard around. Tony doesn't pick his shots. He takes the most dangerous of foes, as he has shown by matching with Chocolate.
 Both Arc Tough
 Louis Kid Kaplan who was the worlds featherweight champion the year before Canzoneri won it., appears on the same card with Canzoneri and Chocolate on Fri day night. The Kid, who seems to improve with age has been fight ing close to a dozen years. The vet eran is taking no soft one in meet ing Eddie Ran, that punching Pole who last essay in the Garden was whirlwind ten round bout with Billy Townsend.
 Vincent Sereci, with his hands mended and tougher than ever comes back to the Garden on Fri day too. He is billed to meet Chick Devlin, new arrival from the coast in the opening eight round bout. Vincent Is another lad who never picked his opponents and who has succeeded in turning back the most of them. He's not in the least awed by meeting this highly touted Devlin boy, who made his metropolitan debut by stopping Artie DeLucca in seven rounds a week or so ago.
 0. K. by Tony
 The Garden has been lucky spot for Tony Canzoneri On Sept 28, 1928 he won undisputed right to the featherweight title by beat ing Benny Bass, who was the N. B. A. champion. Just before that in the same arena he won the New York state commission cham pionship by beating the old cham pion. Johnny Dundee. Then he beat A, Singer in the Garden for the lightweight championship.
 Kid Chocolates only title sho; was in the Garden when he met Bat Battalino for the featherweight crown and failed.

HERE AND THERE
 Mickey Murray. Providence Reds goalie last year. has replaced Maurice Robbie" Roberts in the nets for the Philadelphia Arrows and will be seen in the blue and white of the Arrows in New Haven next Sunday night for the first time. |. Roberts has not signed with any club as yet, but 1t is ex- pected that he will hook one with one of the Mid-Western league teams.
 The Eagles may be a little short on team play at the present time but Judging from their play Sum day night they won't be outroughed by any other sextet in the league. Duke Dutkowski. husky de- fenseman, will be given q wide berth by enemy forwards if his hard checking in the Reds game can be taken as a criterion. The Duke Is somewhat of Q puck carrier himself and should rank we'll up with the goal scorers this year.

EAGLES SHOW STRENGTH INV DERVfT WITH REEDS

Making their first appearance of the season at the New Haven Arena Sunday night the New Ha- ven. Eagles. despite 2 to 2 set back, clearly demonstrated that they will be prominent contenders for league honors before many games have been played. Provi- dence arrived in Now Haven with what is perhaps the best organ ized club in the Can-Am loop and the result should not have been surprise if one considers that the Reds present team has been held over intact from last year.
 There has been only two changes in the Providence lineup and both of the changes are generally re- garded as Improvements. The first and most important addition to the Reds Is their new goal!e, Beyer- idge, who dropped down from the Eig show to replace Mickey Mur- ray. The other addition is Con- nors, who is also a seasoned big league performer. Connors was with Ottawa last year and the New York Americans the season before.
 The Eagles. very few of whom are familiar with their teammates style of play. haven't had sufficient time to become properly organ ized. It will require a lot of sus- tained practice to perfect team play It was only in this depart ment that the Reds excelled the Eagles. Manager Simpson fully re- alizes the shortcomings of his team but is satisfied that he has the player with which to develop team play.
 As the season progresses you one that wore the star spangled 1ersies last year. New Haven Is certain to get the benefit of im- proved goal tending. Flat" Walsh isn't as spectacular as Jakie Forbes but he will be more consistent.
