throughout the land, DR.. FREDERICK l..
Hoffman, Babson Institute. Babson
Park. Mass. urged here today that
federal law be enacted to prevent send

The speaker asserted as 1.-The bitter

Portland High school is seriously
considering abandoning the hockey
team as winter sport. If the Port
land authorities decide to let hockey
go it will mean that Cony, Waterville
and Lewiston will have to play
among themselves or travel. Cony
and Lewiston both had fast teams
last year, and Waterville, which is
one of the hotbeds of hockey in this
section, bids fair to be strong this
year. The Cony management is stry-
ing to add Rockland and Camden to
their list and should Portland decide
to continue the ice game their ap-
pearance on the Red and White slate
would be a welcome attraction.
