Hockey has been king of the outdoor
winter sports this season, owing to the
long period of frigid weather necessary
to keep the lakes covered with a coat
ing of ice. Not only the High School
teams have beer active in1the sport,
but numerous local athletic clubs,
prominent among them being the
Soeials and the Quicksteps. 1t is an
exhilaratfng game, gliding over the
glistening ice on steel runners and
chasing the puck, though many a
player gets his bumps as we'll as In
football and other sports.
The Newark High School even
played a double-header yesterday, de-
feating the Quicksteps in a close game,
by the score of 4 goals to 3, and play
ing the Socials a tie at 4 to 4. The
High School boys gained a lead of two
points in the morning session against
the Quicksteps, Matthews and Currier
driving the puck between the goal
posts early in the first half. Jackson
then registered for the Quicksteps, but
| Matthews again sent the rubber over
the goal line, and the half ended with
the score 3 to / in favor of the blue
and white.
Captain Currier added another goal
to Newark's total in the second period.
At this stage the Quicksteps took q
brace and prevented the sehoolboys
from scoring again. while Hays and
