PLAN REBUILDING OF ARENA

Prospects for a successful hockey season next year have been materially brightened by the news that the Boston Arena is to be rebuilt and opened next winter as an ice skating rink. The Arena office gave out a statement yesterday to the effect that work had already commenced and that the wreckage from the fire which destroyed the building last winter has been practically all cleared away. The use of the Arena will free the team from the constant handicap of bad weather such as was experienced during the past season. Details as to construction have not as yet been given out but it is expected that the building will be rebuilt substantially the same as it was before the fire. The hockey management stated yesterday that next season's games with Princeton and Yale will be played in the Arena.
