Waterville, Jan. 30-The first big
schoolboy hockey game of the season
will be staged on the South End
rink tomorrow afternoon when the
Coburn Classical Institute hockey
team meets the Hebron Academy
outfit. This game will be battle
from start to finish with both teams
entering the fray on even terms.

are compared on their respective
gains with Cony High but scores
mean nothing in modern sport and
especially in hockey when goal ten
ders have Il great deal to do with the
outcome of a game. In fact it is al
most an impossibility to predict the
outcome of a hockey game because
of the numerous elements involved.
Coburn has Il strong outfit ana has
a great deal at stake when it IS con-
sidereI that the Crimson and Gold
has not lost a game in two years.
Reborn has not been defeated in
three starts this year, the big Green
is q powerful aggregation of stick
handlers that would do justice to
any college team with such stars as
jeremiah, n former greater Boston
schoolboy star and Nazro, another
former Bay State performer. Yet
Coburn has been up against just as
good men as either of these and is
yet to be beaten, perhaps tomorrow
will spell the downfall of the great
record set by the locals and then
again they may refuse to be beaten.

their own with any team that Maine
can produce With three veterans
who are experienced in the great

can play aggressive hockey for forty
