Garnet and St. Dom
Ice Clash Promises
To Be Hummer

Lewiston, Feb. 20.-The big hockey
clash to be staged between the Asso-
citation St. Dominique hockey club and
Coach Virgins garnet-clad men from
Bates College. set for Thursday eve
ming on the Bartlett street rink, prom
ises to be one of the biggest local
sporting events of the year. The game
Will decide which team is entitled to
swing from its flagstaff the banner of
State as well as city champions for
1924.
This is the rubber battle of the local
series. Bates defeated the Dominique
early in the season 3 to 0, but few
weeks ago the Dominiques came back
strong and in an overtime period de-
fcated the college six to in one of
the most talked Of games of the win
ter. Both teams have since that day
won many hard games. Their followers
are numerous and they are equally GER
tain their team is the best. The long
green is displayed openly and passes
from hand to hand. Thursday night
will decide which is the team of teams,
and also who are the unlucky dogs to
eat sandwiches for several days to
come.
Although billed as the championship
of Lewiston, the game is fight for
Statewide honors. Bates has met and
defeated all the Maine colleges, win
ming the collegiate championship with
ease. 5. ID. has not met every team in
the state but all the top notch outfits

through a long practice and scrim-

chance to start in this coming mix
with the y. S. -. rinlmen.
Now the Bartlett street seXten is
somewhat worried. Not over the COM
ing battle but in just who will make
up their outfit Thursday night. Many
wise old members of the club who have
had much experience in the game say
the Dominique lineup has been weak
cned by several changes during the
last few weeks. Young blood. on the
other hand. are certain that radical
changes made recently have strength
ened the outfit. Trouble seems to CEN
ter around Pelchat and Tondreau. The
older members want Pelchat to start
at right wing as he packs a dangerous
shot. The younger blood are backing
Tondrcau because of his whirlwind
style of play. This trouble will be
patched up before the battle gets I'M

no other than Manager Johnny LAYER

will get all they want of hockey Thurs
