IN TIE GO
WITH CANADIENS

New Haven-The New Haven
Eagles hockey team served notice
on the Observation-Disclosures loop
that the remainder Of the circuit
will have to reckon with the locals
In the playof fight. The Birds went
to q 3-3 deadlock with the Cana
diens In their initial exhibition
game, and had they had the benefit
Of an experienced goalie, would have
defeated the Canadiens.
WIFI Guide Is still holding out on
his contract signing with the Cana
diens, thus leaving New Haven
without q goalie at this date. How
ever, Guide IS expected in line any
time now, and with that Coach
Jimmy Ward will return to New Ha-
ven on Nov. 8 with a powerful ar
ray.
Allen Shields, Rhys Thompson
and Armand Raymond, q trio Of de-
fensemen, and winger Gus Man
cuso, have been added to the New
Haven squad. Bob McCully, Tony
Hemmerling and George Patterson
have been teamed up to give New
Haven a fine forward wall.
The Eagles will break camp on
Nov. 2, and will arrive here on the
following night. Thus, they will
have two days to workout on the
Arena surface before Sunday nights

Every major Connecticut college

the only game you could find In the
state was: Arnold College versus
Trenton Teachers at New Haven.
otherwise, these were the inva-
sions opened by Connecticut teams:
Yale, winner of two out Of three
so far, was at Ann Arbor to play
an undefeated and united Michigan
eleven, which was heavily-favored
to keep its record intact. The Ellis
were expected to lombard the VOL
verines with forward passes.
Wesleyan journeyed to Amherst
to play that college in the first
game of the Little Three" series.
The University of Connecticut
team met Buffalo, which hasn't
scored touchdown yet, on the Buff
falo home grounds.

last week at Minneapolis, after his
team had licked Minnesota, the Ohio

just as well have come out and told

they were dishonest and not to be

that Bill Decorrevant, Northwest

hasn't yet fitted into Northwestern's

And as for today's game, Cor
