8 THE ASHBURIAN Hockey, 1929 — Characters Colours — B. Gilmour, G. T. Southam, L. Bates, A. H. Fauquier P. B. Smellie, C. Stanfield, E. Beardmore, R. Craig, C. Gausden, T. Bates. B. Gilmour (Capt. ) — 4th year. Goal. A very reliable goal-keeper, who rarely failed to maintain his reputation for being brilliant. G. T. Southam — Centre 3rd year. A stylish player with an effec- tive poke-check and accurate shot. Must work very much harder. He was second in the scoring column. L. Bates — Defence, 2nd year. An outstanding player. The main- stay of the team both in attack and defence. He would be more valuable to a team if he learnt to pass. Was top of the scoring. A. H. Fauquier — L. Wing, 2nd year. Checks well and is very unsel- fish. Was inclined to take matters too easily at the beginning of the season but overcame this fault before the end and played some very hard games. P. B. SmelHe — R. Wing, 2nd year. Always works hard. His back- checking is particularly strong. His shooting improved con- siderably and he finished third in the scoring. Played his wing well. C. Stanfield — Defence, 1st year. A good defence man, worked hard and used his body well. E. Beardmore — Centre, 2nd year. Must break quicker. Checked and passed well. R. Craig — L. Wing, 2nd year. Too slow at starting from the de- fence. An accurate shot. Passes well. C. Gausden — R. Wing, 2nd year. Improved rapidly as the season advanced both in checking and stick-handling. Always worked hard. T. Bates — Defence, 1st year. Held the unique record of never mis- sing a practice or game. Worked hard when called upon. F. Coristine — Centre. Was taken to Toronto in the place of Southam. Will make a good player with more experience. Must work hard and cease to roam.

THE ASHBURIAN 7 These notes would not be complete without a word of thanks to the Committee and to the Prefect, Morgan, for his unostentatious efficiency. It will not be easy to fill his shoes. HOCKEY 1929. Except for a disappointing game with B. C. S. the past has been a very satisfactory season. We started the season with eight old colours, and considering that they were more experienced and bigger than last year, we were hopeful of equaling or beating the 1928 record when we did not lose a school game and only lost three local games — a record season for an Ashbury team. However this was not to be, this year. We won four and lost three school games. We had a good team, every member of which could play sound hockey. On two occasions, one against L. C. C. in Montreal and the second against U. T. S. in Toronto the team played very impressive hockey which was com- mented upon bv the hockev critics who were watchinQ . Perhaps if we had played fewer local games we should have had a still better record. There was a large number of these games played, which added to the games some members played outside the school tended to produce staleness. On some occasions there was a certain laziness and lack of enthusiasm in some of the team, which should not be. We were very fortunate in being able to make a trip to Toronto this year. This was rendered possible by help from the Ashburian and- the hospitality of U. C. C. who very kindly put us up and en- tertained us while in Toronto. Our thanks are due to the Head- master, Dr. Grant, the Staff and hockey team of U. C. C. Nor must we forget Mr. and Mrs. Woods who so kindly entertained us our first evening in Toronto, and in addition helped to defray our expenses. We left Ottawa by the 1 1 o ' clock train on Monday, March 4th, which we caught in spite of the Ottawa Bus Co. The C. P. R. pro- vided a private sleeping car both to Toronto and back.
