THE NOVICES ON THE ICE

The continuation this year of the scrub hockey series is altogether desirable. It offers to the novice, the "dub," a chance for sport and that competitive excitement without which all sport is barren. As in football and baseball occasionally a star is developed from an untrained man in the scrub series, as from the club crews rise 'varsity oars, and from handicap track meets point-winners for the team, so the chance is offered for unskilled players to learn in the scrub hockey games to become real stars.

But first team material or not, stars or total eclipses, kings of the game or "dubs," what difference does it make? There are few games that can surpass hockey for sheer enjoyment; and novice and veteran alike are always on the lookout for enjoyment.
