will do especially well against the
British team of stars that is TO visit
Washington January 81, during an
extensive playing tour of the country.
The British team is drawn from
clubs of Great Britain, Ireland. India
and Australia and supposedly include
the finest playing talent the empire

Before facing the British team

activities. In the Fall there were
six hockey squads organized, which

set the dope" by scoring over the
Senior Seconds in an unexpected
thriller.
The Seniors were the more expert
enced players, and were favored TO
win by safe margin, but the Whites,
staging a late rally, turned the tide.
Training for the varsity squad will
begin tomorrow, according to Marion

director, who comes to Mount Vernon
from the Sargent School Of Boston,

workouts twice week during the
next two months, rotating all of the

will not be made until just before the
annual game with Madeira School, the

March is the tentative date set for
