New Colby Hockey Rink
To Be Completed Today

especial to kennebec JournaD
Waterville, Dec. 10.-The new board
track and hockey rink at Colby College
will be completed tomorrow noon, it
was announced tonight by Prof. c..
Harry Edwards athletic director at the
Waterville college. AS soon as the
spell of warm weather has disappear
ed the rink will be flooded and the first
attempts for a smooth surface will be
made. During the Christmas vacation
men will attend to the flooding of the
rink. providing the weather is suitable
so that immediate practice will start
as soon as the students return on jan
uary 3.
The board track is the finest in the
State and most convenient with side
boards which also serve as the sides
for the hockey rink. The new track
will be II times around for a mile
which is much larger than the old one
which used to occupy the athletic
field. 1t will also be far easier to keep
the track clear of ice and snow, as it
is built two feet above the ground.
Hockey practice has beep going on
daily in the college gymnasium with
the idea of Manager Granville B. Vale
to get his men in the best possible
condition for starting the season on
the ice the first of the year. Several
new men have reported to Manager
Vale and look very good so far
This year the Blue and Gray ice
birds will come into their own in uni
forms, at least. the new players garb
being dark blue jersey pants and jer-
sey with gray over-pants and gray
knitted caps. The uniforms arc ex-
pected to arrive daily and the players
will make their first appearance with
them in the openinGt game against
Bowdoin.

Coach Haines, C. C. l.,
Answers E. Duffy
Regarding Hockey

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Waterville, Dec. 10-Coach Ray C.
Haines of Coburn Classical Institute
is much pleased to have a man with
the knowledge of hockey that Ed
ward Duffey of Augusta has, help in
trying to establish a Rules Commit
tee in Maine.
Mr.. Duffy is known all over the
state and Is one of the few officials
that can run game according to
the strick rules.
Coach Haines reply to Mr.. Duffy:
! was interested to note Mr.. Duffy g
comment in Monday mornings paper
about my remarks concerning hoe
key in this state.
1 do not see that our viewpoint
differs very materially, except that,
still contend that state wide sur
Vey of the game shows it to be in a
bad way, however, there are excep-
tions to this, and / know that any
games that Mr.. Duffy handles will
be clean hockey, as I have played
and had teams play with his officiat-
ing, and have always found it to be
excellent.
/ do not mean to insinuate that
any of the hockey played is not with
good intent. but do contend there is
a great difference in the way the
teams are taught to play and also in
the way they are handled by differ
ent officials. My contention is that
in an exhibition game of this kind,
played before coaches and officials
of hockey in Maine. would serve to
create a better understanding and
more uniform method of handling
the game.
l would suggest that Mr.. Duffy be
the official in the exhibition game,
and I belive the state contains no
better official or one who has a bet
ter knowledge or better wishes for
the game than my friend Mr.. Duffy.
