Spectacular Passing in
Preston Game Raises
Big. Hopes
BY Ripley

IL the series with Preston is any
criterion, this Detroit hockey team
Is likely to awaken one of these
days and find itself a great septet.
There has been no lack Of stellar
individual play all winter, but com.
bination attack and team work has
been something else again. In the
Thursday night game with Preston,
occasional flashes OF beautiful team
play won a nice victory.
Last night these two teams bat
tied through the early stages Of q
very good game with honors shout
even. Suddenly the Detroiters cut
loose with some spectacular pass
ing, and the final score was 5 to l.
The majority Of the points were
made In rapid succession, late In the
contest, when the first genuine com.
binatiop work Of the season made
itself apparent.
After a few more exhibitions of
that SORT. Detroit will have little to
fear in the proposed series wien the
