.Crack Falcon Scorer,

.CIashing Tonight

One of the features of tonight's s
ice hockey game at Uline Arena
between the Philadelphia Falcons
and the Curtis Bay Coast Guard
Cutters is the expected duel be-
tween Jack (Bulldog) Drummond
hot-handed Falcon winger, and
frankie Brimsek, veteran Cutters
goalie who is one of the best tenders
the game ever has produced.
The young. fashy Drummond gave
a sample of his scoring power with
four goals in one period in New York
last Sunday and it's likely he will
test Brimsek's ability tonight. The
Falcons, incidentally. have a, promis-
ing goalle OF their own, although he
as yet IS not in Brimseks S league in
17-year-old Gordon (Red) Henry
property of the Hershey Bears of the
American League.
The Falcons, however. are not ir
the Cutters class and are real short
enders for tonight's game. Most OF
the Philadelphia players are young
sters, long on dash and fire anc
spirit, but bit short on ability such
as found among the Cutters, many
OF whom are former National anc
American League players. The Fal-
cons play in the Eastern Amateur
Hockey League and are coached b,

Heretofore, it has been a simple
