lPOughkeepsie June %

New York, Jan. 14.-(By A. P.)-
The annual intercollegiate regatta
probably will be rowed on Monday,
June %, at Poughkeepsie over three
mile course on the Hudson river, with
one of the largest fields in the history
of the classic taking part in the varsity
race.
This was indicated today in connec-
ton with announcement by Maxwell
Stevenson, chairman of the board of
stewards of the Intercollegiate Row.
ing association, that the annual meet
ing of the stewards will be held there
January % to frame the regatta pro-
gram.
Mr.. Stevenson, who represents
Columbia on the k,oard of stewards,
did not indicate what course he
would take at the meeting on the
question of the distance of the var
sity race but some argument may
he put forth to bring about 'eturn
to the four mile distance, instead OF
three miles. Such a proposal has
been voted down for the past two
years. with Columbia as the chief
sponsor of the longer distance,
ed somewhat toward the longer
vania, other members OF the I. r. A.
have held out firmly for the three
mile distance and it seems likely
their views will prevail for at least
another year.
This years race will again take
the form Of an open championship
as was done last season, according to
Mr.. Stevenson, who said invitations
would be forwarded after next
weeks meeting to such institutions
as University of War hington, varsity
winner the past two years: Univer-
sity Of California; Wisconsin Univer-
sity, Naval Academy and Princeton
Navy already has signified its
readiness to return to the Hudson
after a years lapse and Washington
is expected to defend her 1aurels al
though the status Of the 'Huskies'
depends largely upon the outcome of
their annual race with California,
scheduled on the Pacific coast for
April II.
Wisconsin, which finished second
in 1924, also is likely to return. thus
giving prospect of seven contestants
for the varsity title. The door for
Princeton's admission has been held
open for several years but the Tigers
have not indicated whether they may
arrange their schedule to accept a
1925 invitation.
The date for the regetta will not
be settled until the stewards go over
the program, but June % is favored
as a date avoiding conflict with
various commencement schedules

which is slated for June 10 on the

Hebron, Jan. 14.--A board training
track encircling the hockey surface. is
under construction in the new Hebron
Arena. The track is yard above the
ice and will provide room for the spec
tators at hockey contests. The spec
ators will be protected by railing
and chairs will be placed on the track,
thus providing the most comfortable
opportunity to watch hockey in the
bfate The track will be 10-lap to the

straishtaway. The playing boards of

ana railing extends above this.
The width of the track is about five

against time rather than opponents, al
though relays starting from the half
track will work to PERFECTION. This
Track will enable the Hebronites to
run regardless Of weather conditions,

'CONY TRIPS UP

IN FAST GAME

Playing game much improved over
that Of last Saturday when they
trimmed the Lewiston High hockey
team, the Cony High ice sextet won
from the Alumni by a score Of to 2
Wednesday evening at the Cony High
rink. The work of the Cony team
came in for much praise on the part of
the followers of the game, their pass
ing game being particularly noticeable.
Coach Morrell's charges played a
faSt. clean game which in the opinion
of those posted on the merits of the
individual teams in the State would
make about any schoolboy team exert
itself to the limit. The individual work
was very brilliant with the boys car
rylnG the puck through their opponents
In a marvellous fashion.
The Alumni team. which was COM
posed of many of the boys who played
in Waterville recently against the st.
Jean de Baptiste team. kept Cony
working hard at all times and showed
some fine playing on their own hook
Cony High started the scoring with
Gardiner sliding the rubber by Jack
son, the Alumni goal. FOR one tally. A
few moments later Jarvis of the Alum
III team reta'lated ana the first period
ended with the score a: one all.
In the second period Cony Gagged the
puck on two occasions, once by Greg
DIRE and the other time by Bradstreet.
In the third period Austin got the only
tally for the period and the score end
ed with the Cony team on the long end
of a :, to . score.
In spite of the cold wind that kept
everyone moving, the crowd that at
tended the game was very attentive
and the hockey management was .cly
much encouraged by the attenda nee.
1t would seem that this sport is 1T
ting a hold in this city and that within
a short time the crowds will he turn
ing out in fine style to see the good
games which are promised by the Con-
schedule.

Waterville, Jan. 1.-THE Colby
hockey team lost their first game Of
the season this evening on the south
end rink when the fast st. Jean ice
birds handed the Blue and Gray COL
legians Al defeat. The game was
fast in spite of the one-sided score
and drew large crowd to the rink.
Millett, star defense man on the
local college sextet, was carried from
the rink in the last minute Of play
after fast travelling puck had struck
him square in the face, between his
nose and lip. The loss of the star
defense man will prove serious one
to the Blue and Gray icebirds.
Rivard was about the whole show
for the st. Jean aggregation and
flashed up and down the ice court in
bursts of speed that brought plenty
responsible for three of the goals.
The excellent work of Fagerstrom at
goal for the college six prevented a
much larger score. The Colby net
man stopped what seemed to be sure
shots time and time again. Colby
played a good defensive game but
lacked a punch for scoring. The sum-
