Hockey at Summerside

On Friday last the Summerside High School took the Queen's Square boys, Charlottetown into czémp by the one-sided score of 1 -0.

Tile Summerside boys played the game in fine style all through and it is a sure thing that in days to colllo, Summerside will still be on the nlap for producing fine "chas- ers oi the puck". The Charlotte- town boys proved themselves to be fast many times outskating the pllck completely. The second per- iod was the only period that they showed any inclination of staying with theganle, as Summerside scored only 2 goals in this frame. it is expected that a return game will be played shortly in Charlotte- town.

"Hockey is one of the finest gables in the nation today. When they play roulette only the cronpi- er has. a stick. When they play baseball only the batter has a piece of wood. But when they play hock- ey everybody has a club. “Hockey is played on puddles. Some wealtlhy grad donates the ground. Nature supplies the rain, and a note from the A. A. U. freezes it over.

"The game is ready to start. Somebody blows a whistle and clubs are trumps. Six players on each side wallop each other into a custard while they chase s. bounc- ing vest button all over the cold plaza.

"Thhe game is stopped every few minlltes to check up' the player. if ‘any are missing, the next of kin are ‘eligible to grab the clllb and lbang away until somebody or loses.

"United States refuses to Join the

League of Nations until Canada takes-the clubs away from its hock- ey players. The game is very pop- ular llp there because they get their ice direct fronl zero to con- sumer. “They also prefer it to boxing and football. it's cheaper. When a player is knocked deader than an autumn leaf in hockey he is right on ice and the other funeral ex- penses are small.

“There is no neutral territory ill Canada during the hockey season, as the Whole country is frozen over from A to lzzard. Anybody on skates has to defend himself oi. all times.

"Canadian hockey players grab big salaries for abusing one another or ice skates. They have been play- ing it, up there for two_ hundred years, so nobody knows exactly just when hockey stopped ‘being u sport.
