The latest and by far the most thrilling versio of hockey is played on; ice. Probably he fastest game ever] played. it is of English origin. and was‘ carried to Canada early in this century by Lord Stanley‘s suite when he came to be Governor-General of the Domin-| ion. The Canadians took it up with great gusto, and seeking opponents tried to start the sportsmen from the! United States playing. The Canadians! naturally, did not object to the neces- sary freezing temperature, but their neighbours to the south most decidedly i did. This country did not become en-' thusiastio about ice-hockey until thatl great ice engineer, George C. Flume! started building-rinks with artificial ice. Now that the American public can keep its toes warm, it watches ice hockey as one of its greatest thrills. The highest pitch of excitement marks every game. Whizzing at terrific speed up and down the rink, absolutely obliv- ious to safety. it seems a miracle that! any of the players survive. That they1 .do not get by unscratched is attested by the marks of battle of some of the best players in the game, one of whom has‘163 scars and a broken collar bone. 'A friendly little game, this ice hockey but certainly one which we would not be ashamed for our ancestors to have seen and compared with their own wild :ontests of a dozen centuries ago. The name “hockey" cannot. be claim~ ed 'by either the Scotch or the Irish. but is derived from an old French word, “hoquet,” meaning shepherd‘s crook. Just when the French took up the game is impossible to say, although it seems to have developed much later than it did across the Channel. There is one exquisite relic which proves that it was played in France as early as the fifteenth century. This is a unique old prayer book which belonged to the Duchess of Burgundy, in which there are several illustrations of fifteenth century games. One depicts the shep- herds before the Nativity, playing hockey to warm themselves. 1m Final Game on November 27th as Scheduled Information to the effect that the final game of the pre-season hockey tournament between Camp teams. which is being staged by the Schu- macher Lions Club. would be postponed from Monday.

He told of many c:casions when he had known prominent athletes such as Lionel Conacher, “The Big Train," to display the finest type of sportsman- ship.
