Science Has Developed
New Sport for Winter

A new national sport has developed
for the sport loving American people.
Not exactly new sport, either, this
ice hockey. In Canada and a few
northern sections, it has been popular
for years. But unreliable weather re-
stricted it's interest and only since
1925 has it assumed epidemic proper
lions, spreading over the country with
a rush that has carried it even into
Oklahoma and Texas.
1t is science that has made this
new winter sport nationally popular
by perfecting method Of freezing
perfect, broad sheet of ice indoors in
any climate, points out Grover Theis,
writing in the Farm Journal.
A ten-team league made up of clubs
In the larger American and Canadian
cities now plays a regular schedule of
three games a week before crowds of
from 10000 to 10000. Great audito-
RUINS have gone up in New York, Chi
cago, Detroit, Boston and Pittsburgh
dedicated to the game. A half-dozen
minor leagues have been formed, rep
resenting the smaller cities.
The speed and skill Of the profess
sional players, mostly Canadians,
makes a thrilling game, and school
boys in this country as flocking to
this new sport. There are already
scores of school and club teams for
every professional team. In a few
years we will have developed our own
professional players.

car. The windshield of the car was
broken, one headlight was torn off,
hole was gouged into the top and
the radiator was punctured in the Pc
