PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 18.—More
information as to how Pacific north
west ice hockey teams will line up
when the season eventually gets un
der way, is coming to hand, as details
of the Canadian draft are worked out.
There is still some uncertainty as to
when the season will be in full swing.
The opening, first set for December 7.
was postponed until after the draft
has made its inroads on the different
clubs.
The "Rosebuds” are better pre
pared to open the season than any
of the other clubs, according to Man
ager Bryan. While contracts have
not yet been entered into, pending
definite action by league officials, it
is known that many former members
of the team are ready to start.
“Moose” Johnson, Tommy Dunder
dale, “Smoky” Harriss, A1 Barbour,
Tommy Murray and O'Lauglin are
on (he ground, G. Tobin, brother of
Charles, and a former Canadian hoc
key star also is ready to be signed
up, as is Chas. Uksila, a yougster with
all the earmarks of a coming star.
Only one Northwest hockey player,
so far as known has been caught in
the draft. Fowler, goalkeeper for the
Spokane Canaries, drew a kakhi uni
form.
President Patrick is said to be op
timistic concerning an early start for
the season’s schedule, which it is
hoped may get under way by Decem
ber 28.
