Arena
. Activities
' By HAROLD RIBSON
The ice is in the arena
there’s nothing cool about
atmosphere pervading. __
hockey fans of Lucan are warm
in’ up and should be under a
“full head of steam” by this
time next week. .Last week the Lucan Irish Six

B. Langford,
The “Irish Six” held their first
practise Sunday night with about
25 hopefuls trying out for pos
itions. Coach Bob White took a
very active part o,n the ice and
it looks like he’s going to liavo
plenty of man-power to work
with, A talk with Jack Ready
disclosed the possibility of sev
eral new candidates, who are
rumored to be top-rate puck-*
sters. Lucan’s perennial leading
supporter, Harvey Langford, was present for the work-out and
appeared satisfied with the show
ing.
Further to hockey, Lucan is
going all out for minor teams,
under the able guidance of an
old pro, Fem Fillion, who has
recently been employed by the
arena. Fern pulled on the pads
last night to take his turn in the
workouts with the Irish Six (and
he didn't appear too rusty,
either). The London t entry in
Junior 'B’is wdrknig but' at the
arena this week and. invite any.
district boys for a try-out. .
Reserved seat holders are re
minded . that they have until
next Monday to renew their res
ervations, Mr. Fred Candy, pres
ident of the South Middlesex
Hockey League, dropped in to
reserve Thursday night for sen
ior hockey and Monday nights
for midgets, as of-November 5.
A minor explosion resulted
from a suggestion yours truly
made to Mr. Candy, to the ef
fect that the Lucan midget team
was anticipating celebration of
the championship, this season.
(More on this later.)"
Last Tuesday night, the ladies
of the arena .auxiliary were ad
dressed by Rev* Mr. John&ton,
of St. Thomas, who explained
the construction of a swimming
. pool, which they are seriously
considering building. Based on
past performances, when this
group - tackles an endeavor, it
has a way of becoming a highly-
successful venture. Looks very
promising!
The Boys’ Club attained the
distinction of having met with
terrific success on their first
effort, a well-attended dance
last Saturday night. The presi
dent, Alan Ready, wishes to
