of all the curriers' in the United States

Their record entities them to this re-
spect. Entered in the big bonspiel of last

offered. The rink might have won the
fourth, but withdrew from the list of en-

chance at the spoils The rink has
been defeated but twice in competition,
these defeats being encountered while
playing on soft ice.

to the kindly hospitality which the Me-

in Minneapolis next year it is quite likely
that the team will be asked to occupy

Gophers were treated most shabbily at
Madison. At the hotel where they
stopped they were not given even water
to wash in or to drink, and no accom-
medations at all were provided. Between
the halves they were allowed to stand
in an open shed off the field to SILVER
and freeze. When Wisconsin played in

houses. The first 200 people that struck

King certainly buncoed the Minneapo-
lis crowd. While he never figured on
such a result he did bank largely on
their overconfidence, and he prepared his
men for the fight of their lives. They
were at their zenith on Saturday, as he
intended they should be. He let the
Minnesotans think that their confidence
was justified. and all the time he work
