Fry, of Toronto, in nominating the president explained that a two-year*term was what was neededfor the office. He 'ery correctly stated that in holding office for only one year, the -president only became nicely In touch with the various vital questions which come up for hi* discussion and settlement during a hockey season when he had to step out and let someone unfamiliar with the situation step in. Future Canadian Hockey Association presidents will more than likely hold office for two yeans.Tho slate of officers Is practically the same as last year. 8. P.

Tt was on a motionby S. C.
