NEW HAVEN COLLEGE PRO HOCKEY GAME EXCITES INTEREST
Yale and Elm City Eagles to Mix Tomorrow Be- fore Expected Capacity Crowd
(SpcciaI to The Democrat. }

New Haven, Feb 24.-Yale's great hockey team, considered by experts to be the best collegiate sextet play ing in this country this season, will meet the sternest text of the season tomorrow night when 1t deploys in full battle array against the New Haven Eagles, Canadian American league representatives in the first game against a professional team played by the Bulldogs in several years. The game gets under way at 8:3O with nominal admission charges an added attraction.
 Town and Gown encounters in New Haven have always proven highly attractive from a competitive standpoint and the game tomorrow night Is expected to be keenly con- tested from every angle. The Eagles will be- under a decided handicap in that they Will be forced to play the entire game under collegiate rules, an angle to the case that has led the esta ablishment of the Bull dogs as pre-battle favorites.
 YALE FAVORED
 Close hockey followers expect the Yale team, in spite of the fact that the professionals will have far great CT experience, to combine their speedy attack and greater man. power to pull through to victory and the whole outcome of the game will hinge around whether or not the professionals will be able to adapt their own game to collegiate rules with sufficient effectiveness to pre- sent the same sor, of effective attack that has brought about the downfall of the Boston Bruin Cubs and the league leading Springfield Indians in the last two games New Haven has played.
 Playing under practically no su- pervis;on last week, the star-spangfed sextet eked out a 3-1 verdict over the college team in a game of lax of ficiating but two of the three New Haven goals were scored on plays that wouldn't have been allowed un- der college rules and that, alone in- dicates that Captain Frank Luce and his speedy ice warriors will be able to hold their own on even terms with the professionals under strict interpretation of collegiate rules Yale's battle to overcome the pro- fessionals has created no little inter- est in the fray, especially after the teams sensational last period out burst against Princeton last Saturday and it Is likely that close to a ca pacity gallery will be on hand for the fray

JACK KELLY MEETS MITCHELL ON ARENA
 CARD THURSDAY
Downing to Show All Heavy Boys Tut Jackson in Semi-Final With Brown

New Haven, Feb 24.-(SpeciaD- Heavyweights of assorted shapes and sizes will parade their ring wars inside the red-plushed ropes of the Arena ring Thursday night as Pro- moter Jim Downing makes his debut at the helm of New Haven's fistic ship. The big Texan, who has al- ready established professional wrest- ling on a firm basis in this city. has Q card of more than 40 scheduled rounds for his first offering with the first bout starting at S:30.
 Watch Bremen Eddie.
 Jack Kelly, Waterbury's wallop- ing Lithuanian, heads the card in a ten round star bout with Boston's s newest heavyweight sensation, Terry Mitchell and Downing has backed his top bout up with an undercard that should provide more heavy weight action than has been seen in this state in some time. Tut Jack son, Waterburys humping colored kayo artist, tangles with Gus Brown of Boston in the eight round semi many, contender for the light heavy- weight title, takes on Jack Goodman of White Plains, N. r., in the special six rounder.
 Something decidedly novel in the fight game will hold interest in the preliminary card for it will bring to- gether a group of heavyweights, some of them recognized star bout fighters in other sections of the country, in an elimination tourna- ment consisting of a series of four round bouts from which Downing hopes to find few outstanding fighters capable of taking on more important positions on subsequent Arena A. c. fistic carnivals.
 Matin is "Thcrc".
 Downing has an impressive list of fighters for his four rounders in- cluding, in part. Chester Matin, for mer Golden Glove champion, Pa vesi Presidio, billed as the Italian Jack Dempsey, Jack Warren. former worlds colored light heavyweight champion, Phil Johnson, Big Kid Chocolate, Jack Thomford, German heavyweight and several others.

 Begna1 Topples Acmes
 Captain DiBindictus and his Beg nal school five proved too fast to the Acmes in the opening game of the tournament, winning out easily by score of 30 to IT. Captain Di- Bindictus and Cicero, the latter a Leavenworth High Freshman play CT, featured for the winners with their brilliant shooting, and all around playing. The Acmes repre- senting Town Plot, managed to keep ill the running during the first half, trailing by a IA to 9 score at half time, but the Charles Street school boys went wild in the second half, annexing 16 points to the Acmes g..
 FALCONS SCORE UPSET.
 The heavier and rangier Falcons led by "Ruggles" Rages scored an upset in the opening nights tour ney, by annexing the measure of Miss Dunne's Chase Park boys in the toughest game of the evening. A bit stric.er officiating would have been welcomed in this game, and better game may have changed the contest in closer scoring af- fair. The Park boys possessed a fine passing and shooting team. but roughness handicapped their usual playing. Rages, Laudisi and Mis- tura accounted for 29 of their win ming tean1s points, while the play ing of Capt Posilla and Sniekus was the Chase Parks best bets. The

Marbles From The Web Shop

Bill Cowboy" Anderson and his Sparehands were given two surprised setbacks at the hands of Johnny Fellon's Machinists last Friday night, with the first game decided by one pin, the second by a five pin mar gin, but the Sparehands went wild in the third winning handily by a forty pin margin. By losing two out of three, the Sparehands dropped but two games behind in fourth place, in the league standing.
 George "Canute" Gaynor and "CowbOy'' Anderson connected for 315, and 31O, respectively, but the Macllinists consistent bowling, over. whelming the other two members Of the Sparchands resulted in the lat- ter's two out of three win.
 Specs" Edwards, the big leadof man of the Machinists, did fairly well, rolling off scores If 80, 86. and 84 for total of 250. making his rival go the limit to nose him out.
 Tony Guzzardi, Machinists anchor man, was high three-man for his team, with 282 average for three games last week.
 The crippled Rubber Room team tasted two defeats out of three games, in their league games with the Stampers, and are now leading the loop by six games over their nearest opponents. With only four | more weeks to go the chances are very slim of the Rubber Room boys | to lose possession of first place stand ing.
 Little Toby CaIO coppcd high single of the night for his Stamp CTS, by hitting for 129, and also coppcd high three getting 318 for his hard work, for the evening.
 Only one member of the Carpen- ters made an appearance and that was no other than our popular secre- tary, Al Baltrukonis, in the game against the Shippers who also had only three members. Al featured with his fine bowling. copping 2S0 for the night, with high single of 1O1.
 Our hard working president of the bowling loop, George A. Lang lois, also went wild in tile third game in the shippers Carpenters match, by crashing out Il 112 score. George is having an average of S8 and we believe he will travel over the 90 mark before the league winds up its season.

Sena Drops Six
 Games to Hitchcock

Though he knocked over 25 more
 pins than his opponent, Sorrowful
 sam Sena dropped six out of ten
 games to Hiram Hitchcock of Wall
 lingford in $400 match game
 which opened last night at the
 Wooster alleys. Sena turned in high string of 152 while the best his opponent could do in any one game was IA in the ninth contest. The totals were Sena, 1,222; Hitchcock, 1,197. Tomorrow night the pair will go at it again in Wallingford,
 and Sena must win seven out of Il games to cop the match and money. Last nights scores:

game at the Grand alleys last week. They had not only lost the three games but also the total pinfall by about a pinfall of 100, and the boys of the Button Shop were too much for the Webbers. Let's first glance at the scores rolled by the Water bury Button: Johnson was the poor cucci 307, Derouin 309, Veillette 327 and Hamel 330. Now let's turn over
 to the sad story: Paul Dente 266, Toby Calo 292, Guzzardi 282, Menard 3O1 and Micale 307. The Web Shop boys need plenty of practice before trying to challenge any of their su- perior teams. and on top of that plenty of fighting spirit, which they
 lacked last Wednesday night.
