A description of Ice Hockey by Art Child, Earl's Court Royals, Olympic Goal-Minder and Jimmy Chappell Earl's Court Rangers, Forward of British Olympic Team.

Today viewers will see two of England's greatest ice hockey players, Art Child and Jimmy Chappell, both of whom played at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the team that won the Olympic Championship by beating Canada. For this broadcast they will be equipped with their complete kit and padding, and they will explain the finer points of the game. There may be a practical demonstration, too, for it is hoped to introduce into the studio a ten-foot square of ice on which they can perform.
An interesting point about the evening broadcast is that Chappell and Child will have to rush away soon after the programme to play in an international charity match for the Harry Preston Memorial Fund at Earl's Court.
