Plerce, Brown, Alexander, Morrison; veferee, Rorty. Steve Plerce and his Meriden Maroons will take the floor against the New Britain roller hockey team at the Stanley Arecna tomorrow aft- ernoon in an American league game. The Meriden team, rated as one of the speediest combinations ever as- sembled together in roller hockey has proved to be one of the best drawing cards in the league and after being without hockey for the past week, the fans of the city are ecager to watch the game agaln. Meriden has two of the greatest nnd fastest rushes in the circuit in “Kid” Willlams and Pierce. These two are not only cxperts on roller cKkates, but they are among the most clever ball carriers the league knows. Plerce, although not con- sidered ns great as his father the far-famed “Dicky” %lvrcc of the old days, is absolutely the greatest play. er in the game today and his clev- vrness makes Meriden the most feared combination in the business. Supporting the two forwards is Lundeville, a Meriden boy, at center. Lundeville played for a time in the second rush position but he is going much better as a pivot man. Morri- son is halfback and orky” Pur- cell is the goalie and a better de- fensive combination is hard to find. New Britain’s hopes will be placed on Boucher and Alexander. wh work during the present season has kept the New Britain team the leaders. “Archie (Pop) head will be at center while New Britain's great defensive pair, Brown and Blount, were never in better shape than they are at the present time, Two teams in the amateur league will clash in the preliminary tomor- row afternoon. This will start promptly at 2:30 o'clock and the league game will get under way at %:30 o'clock. Play in Waterbury New Britain meets Waterbury in the Brass City tonight in another tough battle. Waterbury, playing in a slump for the past two weeks, hopes to snap out of it tonight at New Britain's expense. The Hard- ware City stalwarts have a different conception of what should happen during the contest.
