BoWDOIN ICE HOCKEY.
in That Sport Give Prom
Use of Starting Team.

| Brunswick. Me-, Dec. 10.-(Special)
Now that football is over with and
as basketball is not recognized sport
at Bowdoin the students are turning
their attention to finding some means
to break the monotony of INDOOR
gymnasium work and to starting some
sport that will get the men out OF
doors. Winter sports are rev ana Tar
between but one of them stands out
prominently and that is ice hockey
Seniors can remember that this sport
fIourished in their Freshmen year but
since that time it has not succeeded as
a college sport although few former
stars have played some each winter
for their own amusement.
This wear conditions seem different
and interest among Bowdoin men is
not lacking to renew ice hockey.
hurried canvas has shown that Bow
doin has about twenty men in the
three upper classes who have had
hockey experience and besides this
there are several men in the freshmen
class who come with the reputation of
great ability in this line gained in
schools. The matter has
been laid before the Athletic Council
and considered and that body is
heartily in favor of the re-establish-
ment of the sport here. After the
consent of the Athletic Council was
secured promoters of hockey brought
the matter before the faculty and all
the members believe that ice hockey
is very good intercollegiate sport
and expressed themselves as heartily
in favor of its establishment if
games can be arranged. The younger
members of the faculty who have had
hockey experience have especially ex-
pressed themselves as willing to do
in their power to promote in
terest, to contribute by subscription
and to come out and play to get the
men into shape.
Each of the eight Greek Letter fra
ternities have endorsed the movement
and will stand behind it. Now the
matter has only to come before the
student council for approval and
games arranged to make hockey
success. AS every man in college is
anxious to see hockey at Bowdoin
once more the matter will without
doubt receive the sanction of the stu
dent council. Active steps have al
ready been taken to form a four cor
nered league among the Maine colleges
and although none have been heard
from yet it is probable that some at
least will be glad to join such a league.
1t is proposed to have the hockey
rink on the Delta this year instead of
On the athletic field as in previous
years and the ground was laid out in
preparation to building it this after
loOn.
1t is also probable that games may
De arranged with teams other than
college teams in the State and hope
1ere runs high for the re-establish-
nent of the winter sport which is
meeting with such success in other
Institutions outside of the State.
Among the men in college who have
had experience and who will go out
or the team are as follows: James F.
