Just as to when the schedule for the City Hockey Leakile Will 219'- underway has been the subject of much conjecture ever since rlzo squads started out on theinprac- tice sessions and \vith this in mind your writer contacted Gm‘- don Bennett yesterday in an at. tempt to find out just when SBYIWS would get underway.

ll’ O '0' O We must admit that we met with "little success. Owing to the Saint Dunstan's team going to partici- ate in the Maritime Intercollegiate League this season and with Iliu- versity officials still very much in the dark as to just when this sche- dule will be drawn up, City League officials can see no point in nt- tempting to draw up their list of games particularly as Saints are a mt-mbet- of the Oity League also. - 1' + +
