There's been discussion aplenty of late about the advisability of the amateur hockey teams adopting the rules and regulations which govern professional rink play and, if the simon purse do seem inclined to take such action, just how much of the 1929-30 edition of the Code Calder they should adopt. A couple of months ago when college sextets were preparing for their winter campaigns, New England coaches and officials assembled to discuss just such changes, but the idea was dismissed until another season and those gathered in solemn conclave concentrated on the problem of rule interpretation.

Any changes should certainly be subject to the approval of those who are playing the game, and the results of tonight's University Club-B. H. C. contest will be watched with interest...
...send the two squads against each other for a half hour or so. Two years ago the University sextet scrimmaged the Chicago Blackhawks in a practice session. It is expected that the Bruins will use professional rules while the Crimson will of course play according to the amateur code...
