HOCKEY SEASON STARTS

The hockey season of 1916-17 will open tonight when a meeting of all candidates for the University hockey team will take place in the Varsity Club at 7.15 o'clock. Coach Ralph Winsor '02 will speak on the prospects for the coming season which, with the return of Captain J. E. P. Morgan '17 and J. I. Wylde '17 on the defence, and of last year's first and second forward lines, appear unusually bright. Captain Morgan will also speak. Dr. Channing Frothingham '02, who will again be in charge of the physical condition of the players, will talk on their health and training.

The first practice will take place next Monday, December 4, when the Arena will be ready for the squad. The opening of the Arena ten days earlier than usual this year has made it possible to do away with the practice on the stone court in back of the Hemenway Gymnasium, which has been the custom in the past.

Freshman candidates will not be called out until late next week.

Manager Candidates Report at 1.30.

Candidates for the position of second assistant manager of the University hockey team should report at R. D. Hunneman '17, Thayer 37, at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon. The competition will be outlined and the work of preparing for the first practice will be begun. All members of the Sophomore class are eligible. The result of the competition will be announced at the time of the final Yale game.
