Newell is comparatively inexperienced. Last season he saw little action and during this campaign has seen service in only one important contest, the first Toronto game. In that New Year's Eve clash, Newell at times stood up admirably under the fire of the Canadian assault.

The Poles, knowing that the Germans would not be willing to have the question become acute, have been pressing for action, in the hope that the whole problem could be definitively settled by some diluted compromise.
