Prospects For a Strong Detroit
Team At the Arena Are
Brighter Than Ever

An organization known as the Amer.
lean Amateur Hockey association has
been formed with Detroit included in
its list OF cities.
Harry z. Brown, Of the Detroit
arena, represents Detroit In the asso-
citation. r. S. Webb. Of Houghton, Is
president: Louis Schneider. Of the
Cleveland Athletic club, is vice-presi-
dent. and w. p. Dodge. Of Springfield,
Mass, is secretary-treasurer.
The association already includes
| about a dozen cities In the middle
west and east, among these being De-
troit. Cleveland. st. Paul. Duluth.
Houghton, Calumet, Boston and New
York More members will be added.
The purpose Ct the organization is
to control amateur hockey in the
United States the way the Ontario
Hockey association controls the game
In Ontario. 1t Is to be a strictly anna
teur organization and II has already
practically gained admission to the
American Athletic union.
The east and middle west will be
divided into sections. There will be
two sections in this part OF the cOun-
try and two sections In the east. All
the best teams Of the country will be
taken in IN the four sections. The
teams in each section will play for
the sectional championship. The two
leaders in the west will meet to de-
eide which team shall meet the win
ner OF the intersectiOnal series In the
east for the championship of the coun-
try. 1t is planned TO bring the Amer
lean champions and the Canadian
champions together in a series to de-
eide the championship OF the world.
Detroit promises to be well repre-
sented on the ice this year Most OF
the members of the same strong team
! that played here last season will be
back The biggest loss Is that OF
| Prout. who will not be in line this
! season, and Farlow. who will also be
out
I There are couple of new men,
however, who are expected to bolster
UP the team in its weak spots.
| Hal, and Meyers are the newcom-
ers. Hall has not been here before
| He will undoubtedly start the season
at right wing. Meyers is ano her
newcomer. Meyers was with the team
short time two years ago. He is a
center.
With Hall and Meyers on the for
ward line will be Skelly or Johnson at
left wing and Sutherland at the rover
position. Emory at point and Black at
cover-point with goal tender who IS
still TO be found will form the de-
| tense.
\. The first game is scheduled for Nov.
IS. when the Detroit seven will stack
UP against the Cleveland team to open
/ the season at the Arena. The next
night they will repeat. On Dec. De-
troit will journey to Cleveland for
two games there.
| Cornell university will appear here
during the holiday vacation, meeting
Yale probably the nights of Deem
Der 20 and 80.
The arena will again be used for
the hockey games this season. The
trouble with boilers which caused "
20 shut down prematurely last season
has been eliminated entirely by the
installation Of $4,000 system Of ice
making. which will give the rink plen-
ty Of brine for freezing at all times.
This will probably be the last year
that the arena will be run at its pres
ent lcsation at Warren.ave. and De-
quindre-st. Next season new rink
out Woodward-ave. will be in read
mess for both hockey and skating
