Eagles, Indians Meet Twice Over Week-End

New Haven, Dec. 3-Facing the toughest week since the hockey sea- son opened, the New Haven Eagles will play the Springfield Indians ir Springfield tonight, return home tc meet the Indians at the Arena to- morrow night and then play three more games in the next five days.
 we have a great chance to move up in the league standings" Coach Pit Lepine reported. '"The team is going better than ever. It takes time to get combinations clicking and I think that we'll make move up the ladder this week. Two wins over Springfield will put us only a game out of third place.. And two more wins in the three games dur ing the week would put us ahead of the Indians and right on the tail of the Providence Reds"
 Undamted by the error of rookie Marcel Trembly which gave Provi- dence the game Wednesday night, Lepine is counting on the same youngster to even matters against the Indians. It was Trembly who scored the winning goal in the sea- sons opener against Springfield.
 Meanwhile, Lepine is still nego- tiating with Alan Shields, Montreal defense man who has been sent to the Eagles by the Canadians but who has failed to report. With Red Doran on the SidelineS with an ankle infection, Armand Raymond out with torn tenden and Red Goupille suffering from sore foot, the Eagles could use Shields at the points.
