FRESHMAN HOCKEY SUMMONS 47

Forty-seven candidates for the Freshman hockey team reported last evening in the Smith Halls Common Room, and were addressed by Coach R. E. Gross '19 and E. W. Pavenstedt '20.

"College hockey," said Gross, "means much keener competition than you will find at any preparatory school. This year the Freshman team will have remarkably good material and every position will be filled by a man who has worked hard for it. In this competition, physical condition will be almost as important as natural playing ability." He then went on to give the details of training and advice to the candidates in regard to their equipment.

Pavenstedt had previously outlined the schedule and told of the facilities for practice. Seven games have been arranged, and negotiations are under way for at least one more.

Only 15 candidates reported for the managerial competition and more are desired. Men who come out today will not be handicapped by their late start. Such men should give their names to Pavenstedt at the H. A. A. at 1 o'clock.

The first practice will probably be held on Monday afternoon in the Randolph hand-ball courts behind Randolph Hall. The exact time will be announced on the bulletin boards of the Freshman dormitories, in Leavitt and Pierce's and in the CRIMSON. All men who wish to try out for the team and did not go to the meeting should report at this time, with sticks, dressed for a run.
