N. H. Eagles Ready For
 First Hockey Game Sunday

New Haven, Nov. Tiff preseason games are any criterion, the New Haven Eagles will open their home season on Sunday night with a win over the Springfield Indians. This opinion is based on relative scores. The Montreal Canadiens barely nosed out the Eagles 2 to 1 in a knock lem down and drag 'em out contest at Cornwall, Quebec Satur- day night. And then the Canadiens wallopped the Springfield Indians 2 to l Sunday.
 Tempers fiared up and rivalries that began with the opening of training became open warfare in the Eagles-C -Canadiens game. Cecil Hart, Canadien boss, cut loose a dozen amateur hopefuls and then selected a squad which will start the season of the Canadiens Satur- day morning. The remainder, all ex- perienced hockey stars, were turned over to Pit Lepine to form the New Haven team.
 Action Galore
 In the game Saturday night, Des Smith and Armand Raymond, a formidable defense pair in the Na- tional Hockey league last year, de- lighted in smashing their old mates into the boards. Young Don Wilson, high scoring Canadien center last year. slapped in quick goal in the first period and Johnny Gagnon tied it up. From then on it was hammer and tongS with Red Doran

and Toe Blake taking oil their gloves and going to work on each other. Busweli and Gagnon punched in the winning counter late in the third frame.
 Lepine will spend this week per- fecting scoring plays with his speedy front lines. George Brown, Don Wilson and Gus Mancuso form one of the fastest forward walls in hock- ey and those three youngsters played some great hockey for the Canadiens last winter.
 Lepine himself will center for Ed 6:e Amboise and Marcel Tromble, two clever youngsters while Armand Mondu, Canadien veteran, will prob- ably, center on the third line, The Eagles will break camp on Friday and will open the season in Phila- delphia on Saturday, returning to New Haven to play Springfield on Sunday.
