GRASS HOCKEY This year the School were successful in arranging out- side matches and there was considerable interest displayed throughout the School. A very weak Victoria College team provided the opposition in the first match, the School winning 8-0. Shaw and Duke were the leading scorers. For the second match Professor H. V. Warren brought over a Faculty and Graduate team from the University of B. C. in Vancouver. Some very even fast hockey was seen in this game which was won by the School by the odd goal in three. Both School goals came in the first half, Duke and Clifford being the scorers. L'.B.C. opened their account just before half time and though they had a decided advantage during the second half, they were unable to score again and the School won 2-1. Cotter I, who captained the side was very effective at centre half, Bennett and Mackenzie did well at back, while Shipley I kept goal splendidly. Of the forwards, Duke was the best. Mr. Cyril Jones very kindly refereed the game. 23
