THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG LATEST LOCAL WEST POINT STAFF LSD VT Superintendent. of U.8.M.A. and Hockey Coach Write Expressing Appreciation. The superintendent and staff of the United States Military Academy at West Point, ag well as the hockey coach and piasary are very enthusi- astic concerning their recent visit to Kingston, The following letter was recelved by Major-General Macdon- ell, commandant of R.M.C., this morning: : 4 ~ Feb. 18, 1924. » Dear General,--We- home fi good shape at 7.15 this morning having made good connec- tions and had a comfortable trip all aleng Ahe route, "In the name of the officers and eadets I want to thank you, your of- ficers and the gentlemen cadets for the very great pleasure they gave us in the enjoyment of very unusual hospitality, "Every member of the party Is en. thusiastic over his experience and the kindness shown to him by you and yours. I take this occasion to say that I have never seen a snap- pler, smarter, better set-up 1 ing body of young men than you have im your Corps body. The care taken of the cadets, the fine sportsman- ship shown in the hockey match and the clean playing by your team mem- bers was certainly an inspiration to us all and we are fortunate to have been a witness to it for its influence on us, if not for the pleasure that we derived from it. "Please express to those fine Ig men my feelings towards them. "With warm personal regards to you and your officers and many thanks to you for your thoughtful care of me, I am . "Very sincerely yours, (Sgd.) FRED. W. SLADEN, Major-General U.8. Army, Superin- tendent." This letter gave the Commandant and his staff a great deal of pleasure. 'Another one was received at the 'Whig office this morning from Coach Ray Marchand and reads as follows: TAEERNREE RENEE Junior O.H.A. GROUP PLAY-OFF FRIDAY, FEB. 22nd. 8.15 p.m. RushEnd . ....... 25c. What SPO "I was very sorry that I could not spend a little more time with my old friends in Kingston but it was necessary to get the boys back to the Academy right away. "I wish you would allow me, through your paper, to thank the Royal Military College and the citi- zens of Kingston, as they certainly did support our team wonderfully." "Yours sincerely, (Sgd.) "RAY MARCHAND." Bo that visit {s wound up very pleasantly and the hope may be ex- pressed here that it is only the be- ginning of a series of them, -------- LAST CHANCE FOR - A KINGSTON TEAM To Get Into the Play-Off Series Comes To-night When Circle=8ix Battle. Kingston's last chance of figuring any further in O.H.A. battles this sea. son comes tonight when the Circle- Six will entertain. Belleville juniors at the Jock Harty Arena and will start with the sweet handicap of four goals over their heads. The Circle-Six outfit had no license to lose any of its games in the group this season and seems to need a steam roller behind it to start it going every time an important game crops up. They came odt in the first game and trounced Queen's without trouble. Then they started playing Indifferent hockey, caused a three-cornered tie, and had to start all over again. Brockville licked them, Queen's lick- ed Brockville, and then they turned around and trimmed Queen's. One of these times they will carry the joke too far and find themselves left behind but let's hope it is not this time for they may stop it after this experience with Belleville, It's mot a very encouraging thing for Senator Powell to teach a team good hockey, to know that they have hockey in them and then to have them play like a lot of spavin- ed Spark Plugs. Of course, it is not intentional and the youngsters probably feel it as much as any per- son does, but it's time they jarred those off nights out of their systems and got settled down to playing championship hockey every time they take the ice. Tonight they have a four-goal lead to overcome and they should do it. But they will only do it by getting right in there and playing the kind of hockey they played in both their victories against Queen's. They'll have the advantage of their own rink and knowing what they are up against and the fans will be right there to give them al fhe possible engouragement, ---------- All After Job.

When the first came home and marched through the streets of New York and Washington, McBride was not there. He was not walking those days. The war ended, McBride resumed his interrupted quest of an education. When Coach Fisher sounded his first call for battery men a fortnight ago MoBride reported. For two days none of the other athletes knew that the young man who showed so much baseball brilllancy was a disabled veteran. It became known only when the squad went to the showers in a group one day and McBride hopped under the needle spray on ome foot.
