The first move of the Student Council has been to set on foot the annual scrub hockey series. These games have in the past brought many men into the competitive enjoyment of a sport which they are unable to participate in as representatives of the University. It is only natural, therefore, that this year as usual this excellent custom should be kept up, and it will be a source of great disappointment, and a sign of the flagging of healthy interests, if the games do not assume their usual importance.
At the same time it does not seem that this series accomplishes all that might be done in offering men an opportunity for playing hockey. Even a less organized form of the sport should be kept constantly alive. Let there be always a rink on Soldiers Field ready for any men who desire some informal recreation. There is no need of supervision and organization. A spontaneous game played by a dozen or so unskillful enthusiasts with informally chosen sides would be no less beneficial and enjoyable than the highly organized game of skilled players. We feel sure that men would avail themselves of this opportunity, we know that they ought to. Accordingly this year as last we urge this innovation, for it seems an obvious chance for spreading the benefits of open air activity among the College as a whole.
