half, the ice became sticky. Calu-
NETS offensive tactics were met by u

The Teams.
lI0uFhton has "a heavier team than
calumet this Year and the members
seemed - have better staying quail

were effective and in the second half
iXley and Sicotte played in better
form. Trathen seems 10 be fifteen or

Sicotte also is heavier. ollie Haas

The home team seems 10 contain all
the elements which so to make up II

showed lack of condition, among them
Mahan and Monroe. Both Of the lat

team includes two newcomers, Ram

times. In the first clash. Reynolds, |
claiming Haug had struck him with |
his stick. attacked the latter with ma
turc's weapons. They were speedily
parted ana little harm was done by
either, or by Haas. who came to Hangs
