Fargo. n. D., Dec. l4.--Thc en-
thusiasm over the hockey teams at the
high school is still growing. About
forty boys were present at a meeting
in which Coach Robinson explained
the primary essentials Of the game.
The talk. although short. was highly
interesting and instructive to the flu
ture hockey stars.
The opening of the schedule which
was to have occurred today. has been
postponed until Monday. December IS.
The series will open with the seniors
battling against the juniors and the
~sOphomores against the freshmen.
Each class will play each of the other
classes two games and the champion
ship will then be decided on the per-
centagc basis.
The postponement of the first game
was made so hat all the teams would
have sufficient time to organize and
practice. The juniors have been work
ing III evcry night and are decidedly
confident of their ability to show the
other teams up. The first practice Of
the senior class occurred Yesterday
afternoon and the fourth year men
showed up better and faster than was
expected.
The south end of the large rink has
been secured for the use of the teams.
