YALE HARVARD HOCKEY FOES IN
 PLAYOFF GAME
Able University IcemeD Clash on Boston Rink
 Tomorrow Night

Will Harvard rise to the occa- sion again as it did last Saturday night in New Haven. or will Yale come to Boston again and chaw out another victory as 1t did in the Garden ten days ago?
 Those questions will be answered in the Boston Garden, tomorrow night, when the ancient rivals meet in the rubber game of the 35th ser- les between the Crimson and the Blue, which also will decide the Quadrangular H key league championship of 1934-35.
 Yale's brilliant overtime victory, 3 to 2, week ago, and Harvard's sensational comeback triumphs last Saturday, when the Crimson broke the hearts of their rivals and the bankrolls of the Blue sup- ports with a to 1 triumph, has the whole sporting world steaming with interest over tomorrow nights duel and the largest crowd that ever saw a collegiate hockey game in America will pack the Garden when the skirmishing lines, are thrown out.
 AnyOnc's Game
 Expert opinion is divided over tomorrow nights outcome.
 "The psychological edge now is in favor of Harvard" said one well known expert, this morning, liar ward has the Bulldog on the run. The Bulldog was licking his chops in anticipation of sure triumph and the taking of the series in straight games, when Harvard hit New Haven last Saturday night. Harvard's defeat of Yale on home ice was a great blow to the elan and spirit of the Blue and their mental state is bound to affect their play tomorrow night.
 "I saw Yale beat Harvard in an overtime game right here in Bos- ton" came back another expert In rebuttal, "and I'll tell you there IS nothing the matter with the Yale spirit. The Bulldog had an off night last Saturday. He will be back with the bells on tomorrow night. The odds will be in favor of Harvard, I know, but don't you know the Bulldog always Is at his best when the odds are against him?
 Anything can happen when Har- yard meets Yale. The two sextets are so evenly matched that Dame Fortunes smile may decide the outcome. No matter who wins, the game will be a thriller from the first to the final chirp of the whis- tie and the Boston Garden will be no place for those with weak hearts when the Crimson and Blue face off tomorrow night.

TRIBUNE CACERS
 DROP FROM CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE
Irish-Americans Claim Isl Place Money Despite
 Losing Championship
fBY HENRY NlcGRATHl

The Brooklyn A. c. won the championship of the City Amateur League after taking two in a row from the IriBh-Americans. This. of course is stale news at this time but the question is who is entitled to the lions share of the league finances, due to be split shortly, or which would have been last night, but for certain reasons. The Sacred Hearts are certainly not in the money and certainly the Thomas club or Emeralds are not entitled to first place money. All of which brings us around to sta.e what we started.
 Dispute Unsettled
 Assistant Manager Bill Gaughan of the .Shamrocks stepped up to collect 24 per cent of the money last night for first place. When Gaughan stepped up he was rub- ping elbows with one Myies Kelley, manager, of the Brooklyns, who had the same idea. The result was highly hilarious for Gaughan lit into a verbal attack on the Brook lyns. the league secretary, vice. president John Howard and Pres ident Bill Derwin. When the sec- retary objected to the status of the rotund Irish manager, he was told by Derwin to keep quiet. At any rate 1t was finally given the man. agers to understand that Gaughan had some ideas about how the league should have been run and stated them not too briefly. He may decide to experiment with them at some future time.
 fMn Nv~,
 It is the honest claim of the feated in the first round and the B. A. c. team was handed three defeats against four victories. Dur ing the season the Irish were set back once at the beginning of the second round and hence eliminat- ed. The Brooklyn went on an un- defeated club and proceeded to trounce the Irish twice in row to bag the title. Gaughan claims that he was handed one loss dur ing the season and the B. A. c. has three. What to do about it, well the Brooklyns won the title ana that can't be disputed. Other opin- ions expressed were that the Shamrocks are rightfully entitled to second place and the Washing ton Hills third, followed by the Sacred Hearts. The whole thing will be ironed out at another meet ing to be held at the Central Y. M. c. A. one wek from this evening.
 Tribes Out
 The Tribune A. c. team with drew from the circuit at last nights gathering. Manager Fran cis Bowling explained the Tribes were anxious to get other plans started and that it is unlikely that they will seek to renew their fran chise next season.
