Capitals Crush Hershey, 6 to 2

HERSHEY, Pa., Nov. 13 (UP) The Indianapolis Capitals made their seasonal debut in Hershey a successful one tonight as they easily defeated the Bears, 6 to 2, before 7721 American Hockey League fans. The Bears opened the night's scoring with a goal at 5:17 of the first period and that was the only time the local club held the lead. The Caps, who were held at bay in the first period, broke the ice with a trio of goals midway into the second period. Gordon Halidy, Eddie Bruneteau and Frank Melong each connected on long shots for the Caps in the second period rush. Herbie Cain, scorer of Hershey's first goal, put some life back into the Bears with another score in the opening minutes of the final period, but the Caps again broke loose with a three-goal rush. Cliff Simpson, one of the league's top scorers, netted his own rebound to start it off for the Caps. Then Pat Lundy drilled a 45-footer down the middle and Bruneteau scored his second goal with only 38 seconds remaining
