Leadership of the City Hockey League will be at stake tonight when the two college teams meet in what is generally anticipated will be the game of the present series. The game is a mighty im- portant one to both squads as they or; tied in second position with four points apiece, one behind the Leglonnaires. 1t also marks the last time these two teams will meet in the present schedule.

Prince of Wales will be top orites as result of their 7-0 v ctory over the Saints in the final game of the first round last week, but, in a sense, the Saints were piny- ing under wraps due to illness of several players and their only re- cent recovery. The game might well determine which team in the league will gain the coveted fir place post in the playoffs. ‘
