Cold air from outside flows through several small tunnels cpening along the walls surrourding the ice surface, and is spilled out just above the ficsoded arta. Specially constructed doors open and close the tunnels When closed, the aoors are flush with the walls surâ€" rounding the ice surface, leaving no projection.

Knc~k! Knock! Who‘s there? Saint! Saint who! Saint Peter is knocking at my door. Knock! Knock! Who‘s there? Booth? Booth who? Booth out, and in the ball rolls. The railroaders got ‘back the lead, thanks to the curve ball that seldom misses, but they don‘t want to depend on him all the time, for he may have a bad night. If Saint does much more jumping, the bowling alley will have a new restâ€" ing place via the ceiling to the ground floor. Since writing the above there is been a ray of sunshine ard hope for the printer‘s, as they are not likely to lose Alfie on alternate Fridays, the printers will be pleaseaâ€" i; thnis is true, for its hard to lose the best man on the team. The Fruiters got a good start last Friday by taking the first point. Booth‘s 317 shook them up in the secâ€" ond game ar.d they never recovered. What‘s gone wrong, Army, this year? He is even dropping out for low man Th# printers wish to thank the genâ€" tleman at Luxton‘s that made it posâ€" sible for Alfie to be with them each Friday. â€" ~Who said there were no head pins last Friday? Ask Ero, he only got six out of ten in the stcond gams, and there were plenty of others; in fact there were so many that Jack got tired of marking them. The headpin specialâ€" ist of the printers was the only one to miss it until the end of the game and then he had to pick out a couple. There is some bad news for the Fourth avenue crew and good n<ews for the railroaders. The news is: it is understood The Advance is to lose Alfie every second Friday. ‘The electricians had a very bad off â€" night last Friday. Head pins were their speciality and goose eggs were also prominent. Kirkland Lake Hockey Club and not Lake Shore, though Lake Shore‘s repâ€" resentative did the entering and he no doubt used Lake Shore money. Advantage according to The News, of such a setâ€"up, is: "There would be no expenseâ€"eating trips to Timmins and Now the Mines League teams in Kirkland Lake have made no definite announcement that players would be picked for the team that would go out under the name of Kirkland Lake. But Now there‘s nothing to prevent the Kirkland Lake mines from doing such a The idea to be considered at an exeâ€" cutive meeting of the Kirkland Lake Mines League and a representative from Noranda is that a league should be operated in Kirkland Lake with Lake Shore, Wright Hargreaves, Toâ€" burn, Teck Hughes, and Noranda. This would be just like the Nickel . Helt league and would send single team inâ€" to the N.OH.A. playoffs. That goes for Timmirs too, but not for the reason that Bill gives (he‘s anxious to spend Christmas at Port Arthur). The Timmins club wants to postpone the Opening of the N.O.H.A. scason here because they expect to be having some preâ€"season engagements including the Kenning Cup series beâ€" tween Timmins and South Porcupine, and perhaps series between a few teams chosen from those who are tryâ€" ing to make the Timmins senior team. Just a Little Sudden But there‘s a more dangerous not: (dargerous for this year at least) sounded in the same issue of the Norâ€" thern News and also brought back here by Dean Kester, viceâ€"president of the N.O.H.A. Looks as if most of the open air skating rinks in town will be in operaâ€" tion before the arena has a layser of ice down. The two town rinks in the ball park will be ready Saturday; the first few floods have been laid on two rirks at the Central public school grounds, and Roubtless the same thing is happening in other parts of the town. It‘s nice for the youngsters to have skating in midâ€"November, but it‘s sort of tough on the senior hocksy club havâ€" mng to wait until December for ice. Hockey Later This Year? "If Bill Brydge can put a bug in the ear of the scheduleâ€"makers thera‘ll be no N.O.H.A. engagements in this group just [sefore, on, cr just after Christmas this season," says Jack Maunder in the current issue of the Northern There is an article in the constitution { as annual meeting, election of officers that says no two officers of the N.

There was nothing unconstitutional about Dean Kester‘s election to the viceâ€" presidency of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association; no byâ€"law of that body was "waived" in order that he might take the positi>n. "If there had been any technicality in the way or if it had been an inâ€" fringement of any kind of any rule of the N. O. H. A., I would not have alâ€" lowed my name to go before the meetâ€" ing," Mr. Kester told The Advance in an interview yesterday when asked about reports published locally that his electiomy was really unconstitutinal. Dean Kester‘s Election in _â€" N.0.H.A. Was Quite in Order Noranda is Not in the Same Constitutional Group as Timâ€" mins. Secretaryâ€"Treasurer W. A. Thompson Explained to N. O. H. A. Annual Meeting. From All Levels o, not for the sake of hockey in Kirkland Lake and Noranda, but for the s@Ake of the game in Timmins and South both of whom strugâ€" gle along with a lot less financial or other assistance from the mines than the Kirkland Lake teams get, it‘s to be hoped that the Kirklandâ€"Noranda selfâ€" contained lea.gue will be dropped for this 1ear With a little more warningâ€"say a word or so about the beginning of Sepâ€" tember at the latestâ€"the Poreupine can claim no harm from suwch an arâ€" rangement, for then the people here Lake Shore thought enough of the forward line of Lamoureux, Wilkes and Fasano to offer them jobs down there on a team that‘s supposed to be a lot stronger than last year‘s edition "Because of their withdrawal in 1934â€"35 and coach trouble last year, Timmins was counted a doubtful facâ€" tor in any senior grouping carried on in the manner of other years with single teams from here and the other Gold Belt League centres," continues The News report of the meeting at which this sudden desire for a senior league there was made known. Kirkland Lake people who are as interested in hockey as the men who sat around the table the other night there know very well that Timmins has a stronger agâ€" gregation in hand this year than it has had for some time. Last year, at the beginning of the season at least, the local lads made Lake Shore seem to be outclassed. They did have trouble, it‘s true, toward the end of the season, but they finished the schedule and were a real threat all the way through. And There is only one possible objection from the Porcupine‘s point of view: the proposal is untimely, to say the least. The hockey season is absut to Timmins and South Porcupine have gone ahead forming teams on the assumption that they would be in the same group again with Kirkland Lake and Norandaâ€"a fourâ€"team affair that gives good competition. Now if that were suddenly reduced to two teams by the withdrawal of Kirkland Lake and Noranda into an affair like the Nitke) Belt League, where would it leave Timâ€" mins and Porkies? High and dry in a twoâ€"team affair that would breed noâ€" thing dbut ‘bitter feeling. "It isn‘t cricket." Secretary Made it Clear Secretaryâ€"treasurer W. A. Thompson, of North Bay (the same man who has filled that position for the past 10 years) explained to the meeting of the N. O. H. A. on Saturday, on behalf of the exeâ€" cutive, that Noranda was actually in the Central Group, with Haileybury, Cobalt and New Liskeard, while Timâ€" mins is in the Northern group which at one time as well as including South Porcupine, had Iroquois Falls and Kaâ€" puskasing. Noranda and Kirkland Lake were simply allowed to play in the Northern group for convenience. So far as annual meeting, election of officers and other business of the N. O. H.â€"A. is concerned, both those clubs are memâ€" Lers of the Central group. then neither did Sudbury make any such a manoguvre. branches of the A.AVU. oppose the changes; the West supports them.

Really a Town Team The team is really a Timmins team, since it receives no finandal support cther than from the general public of the town. This is true of few other clubs in the N.O.H.A. And since the men who make up the executive of the club have given a great deal of time and energy toward putting the organâ€" ization this year on a proper basis, they feel that the public should make it easy to secure the necessary preâ€"season funds.

The utter exclusion of any of the thrse Toronto teams from our call of winners suggests that perhaps the word ‘"hogâ€"town" is not unknown to our vocabulary, and that Hamilton may have once heard our infantile walil.

While we realized that the towns of our North are farther apart than a cowboy‘s kngeâ€" caps, it never occurred to us that such a mileage would iibe rolled up.
