Nevertheless, nothing else would boost the most excellent game of hockey in the colleges to the height which it deserves like @& re- vival of the old league. Hockey is played mostly by the New England colleges, but it 15 rapidly growing in favor among others. A league of coHege hockey teams would heighten the interest and competition in this spott. Prospects for an exceptionally big year in collegiate hockey are partic- ularly bright this winter. Many colleges are taking up the game for the first time, while others sre re- suming where they left off when the call to arms was sounded. As in football, many former hockey stars will be back and will try for places on the Varsity teams, TOMMY SMITH SEEKS JOB He Was Once 'the N. H. League's t Scorer. Old Tommy Smith is on deck again...

This action, he said, is not anticipated. { "The American League will con- {tinue to function in the interest of i ¢lean sport," Attorney Miller said, 1 "in spite of all efforts to hamper { President Johnson in the perform- ance of'his executive duties. "After the three dissenting club owners have had time to cool off, another meeting will be held in legal form, and whatever business is neces- sary to conduet the coming baseball season will be . transacted. That meeting will be called by the Pre- sident, and the time and place wil ibe designated by him." Why They Were Angry. They will have their joke at the poor wrestlers, A New York paper says: Zbystko and Stecher were re- ported as very antagonistic before i lagt night's match. The antagonism arose over the faet that each had {of falls in their last hall dozen matches, and they couldn't decide an whose turn it was to win. What add- ed materially to their antagonism was the additional fact that they were wrestling for the "champion- ship of the world"--which belonged to a third party. That made 'em madder, of eourse.
