Entries for the scrub hockey series will close this evening at 6 o'clock, if the weather remains cold during the day, the drawings being made tonight and the games starting tomorrow. If, however, it is warm enough to destroy the prospect of ice, the entry-books will remain at Leavitt & Peirce's until Friday at 6 o'clock as announced yesterday. Two rinks will probably be built on the river, and there are already two on Soldiers Field. These will accommodate a series of many more than the 15 teams which have now entered...
Owing to the fact that the ice at present will not allow outdoor rinks, the closing time for entering the scrub hockey series has been extended to 5 o'clock on Friday of this week.

The blue books are still at Leavitt & Peirce's, and more than the present 14 teams are needed to make the series a success...

...want to emphasize the importance of men signing up immediately for scrub hockey. Last year a whole week of the best ice of the winter was lost because men neglected to sign up until after the Christmas vacation. The uncertainty of the weather makes it essential that the teams be organized before the vacation starts so they may avail themselves of the ice when it does come...
There are plenty of men who want to play scrub hockey and it is only lack of initiative which keeps them from getting their teams together now. In order to make the scrub hockey series a success this year, I trust that all men interested in hockey will either start a team of their own or will see that they are signed up with some other team before Friday. W. A. WILLETTS...
