schedule for this year last wssk
when tbey overcome ths Aotis
All-stars io a fast gams at tbs old

The All stars were made op" ot

using Gay Bower and Bill Keller

among ths best skaters wbo
frequent thst spacious dam. If
weather permits, possibly other
games will be played as exhibition
contests.
Tbe team wbo are known now
as tbs .Bellwood Hockey Olab is
the direct outgrowth of tbs combination known by tbat same
name, wbo organized ten years
ago. Four of tbe preseot members
bave played witb tbs team since
its origional organisation. Tbey
are: R. W. Campbell, Edgar Bar-
ley, Bernard Soyder, and A. W.
Bell. All are exceptionally good
skaters and it presents quite a
picturesque spectacle to see these
neat appearing yoang men as they
glide about io perfect coordination
with each other.

He is very adept oo tbs steel
rnnners and at one time, handicapped by adverse conditions, was
within one _ second ot equalling
the worlds record for the three

tba roster of tbe origional team

Charles Barr of North side has
been affiliated whb the team bb a
player tor (wo complete seasons,
while Clarence McClellan, Gerald
Hopkins, and A. Sneath, competed for tbeir first time tbis season.
Ice hockey is an exbilerating
sport mooh ou tbe same principal
as basket ball in which tbe centre
represent* tbe same important* as
the participant in basket ball by
the same name, two forwards
have tbsir equivalent in two
players called wings, the guards
are called defense men in hockey
while sa extra man is employed
to bslp guard the goal. The game
is the fastest sport known where
the human body provides the
locomotion with possibly more
skill aod atamania required to
keep pace then aoy ot tbe more
popular sports.
While the team was organized
