Davis Started Hockey
It Major College Sport
Only last year did hockey be
come an official College sport and
this was through the efforts of its
coach, Arthur F. Davis, assistant
professor of physical education.
Davis took charge of the team
on his own initiative, using equip
ment furnished by the team mem
bers.
It was also through the efforts
of Davis that an ice skating rink
was constructed on the tennis
courts last year for the team to
practice and for student use.
