_But Could Vancouver Get Away With this Stuff Against Edmonton H.B.C.?_
ICE hockey has taken a hold on the staff to such an extent this Winter
that we are able to produce one of the foremost teams in the commercial
league. The team is on an even basis with the speedy Kerrisdale team
for first place. These two teams have not met as yet, but when they do
it is safe to say it will be one of the hardest contested games of the
season.
It is interesting to note that our hockey team has not lost a game as
yet.
Our genial general manager witnessed the H.B.C. team double the score
on the C.P.R. septette and personally congratulated each of the players
on their fine showing. We hope to see him at all the games.
Our all-round sport champion, "Jimmie" McDonald, can make them all
travel. When it comes to goal getting, "Jimmie" ranks as one of the
best in the league.
Our stonewall defence, Timmins, Anderson and Ham, are just about the
pick of the league. Percy Timmins, our coming star defence player, is a
decided attraction to the games, especially to the fair sex, eh what?
"Doc" Almas can still step out and show the younger ones how to get
goals, as well as stop 'em all when they come.
We would be glad to hear of any Eastern H.B.C. teams that are prepared
to make a tour. We can't guarantee gate receipts or expense accounts,
but we can assure them a "whale" of a good time if they come to
Vancouver.
In our three games this season, only six goals have been scored against
us. This speaks well for our goal-tender, W. Barber.--_L. A. Keele._
