told in an interesting way of the success being attained by one of our own boys george riddall in a new career since joining the 11th canadian field am bulance corps rcamc at london ontario back in 1838 the writer is a e steve brodle formerly of toronto and now educa tional officers assistant to the con adlan field ambulance somewhere in england mr brodle tells how since enlistment george riddall has made a name for himself in the ting both in canada and in england and hopes when the war is over to see george headlined at maple leaf gardens it is hard tot the folks back home to think or george riddall as a boxer hard because we have never actually seen him in the ring we knew he us ed to span- with jimmy sargent and jack kemshead in their improvised club rooms but for the most part we knew oeorge as a hockey star and al so as a clever rightflelder on the georgetown baseball team oeorge riddall played hockey with georgetown for a number of seasons and was an outstanding athlete be it at centre ice on the wing or even a place on defense if necessary the games we like to remember best in which george riddall plajed were those with bolton when four games were found necessary to decide a group winner and although the george town team were nosed out by a one goal margin they were a credit to the town and george played brilliantly through this series always giving his best tor the team and was popu lar with the tans and his teammates alike and we know by the way he played his hockey here that he will give a good account of himself over there when they come to grips with the enemy but we can also remember a few moments i georges hockey career that we bet he wuuld like t f it was the game in kitchener about 1936 when the local junior aggrega tlon were playing a semi final with the waterloo siskins aeorgetown- had a lead on the series but when the stepped on that artificial ice they were beaten from the start oeorge riddall was counted on to give
