10 THE ASHBURIAN It was decided to play three 15 minute periods. It took some time for Ashbury to settle down, so that in the first period U. C. C. had most of the play. After ten minutes of offensive hockey, U. C. C. scored when Dewar carried the puck down centre and pas sed to Eckhardt who beat Gilmour. The second period was more equal and Ashbury made deter- mined efforts to even the score. L. Bates broke through the U. C. C. defence twice but just missed the net on each occasion. In the last period Ashbury settled down and played much better hockey. Smellie scored after four minutes, and after seven minutes Stanfield broke from his blue line, took the puck down centre and shot from the opponents ' blue line. Baker who was unsighted, failed to save and Ashbury were one goal up, a lead they retained doggedly until the end. Jack Kilrea refereed the game. Gilmour in the nets played a good game, and L. Bates, Smellie and Stanfield all worked hard and effectively. Line-ups — Ashbury : Goal, Gilmour ; defence. L. Bates, Stan- field ; centre, Southam ; wings, Smellie, Fauquier ; subs, Beardmore, Gausden, Craig and T. Bates. U. C. C. : Goal, Baker ; defence. Dewar, Blair ; centre. May, wings, Allan, Magladery ; subs, Eckhardt, Gundy and Musgrave. ASHBURY vs. MONTREAL HIGH SCHOOL. Played at the Forum, Saturday, Februarv 9th. Won 6-0. Two twenty minute periods were played. Montreal were with- out one of their best players, Farmer, who plays on the wing and is a high scorer. Ashbury took a little time getting into their stride but once they hit it there was no stopping them. The forwards checked well and Gilmour was not called upon to do very much in goal. At the end of the first period Ashbury were four goals up. In the second period Ashbury eased a little and only two more goals were added. Five of the goals were scored by L. Bates and Southam accounted for the other one.

Plaved at the Forum, Monday, February 11th. Lost 0-1. The game was played in two twenty minute periods. Ashbury after the easy win on Saturday were very confident of the result of this game and it was this over-confidence, in part, which lost the match. Ashbury started playing fast hockey in a determined hunt for goals but they found the Bishop ' s defence a stumbling block, and after the first twelve minutes they could no longer maintain the attack. Bishop ' s had evidently been instructed to play a defensive game and wait for a break. They got their break after fifteen minutes play, the puck was shot from outside the defence and hit Bates. Bates seemed to be taken by surprise and instead of clearing or breaking away allowed a Bishop ' s man to recover the puck. A face-off followed immediately in front of goal from which Coristine netted the puck. For the rest of the game Bishop ' s played strong defensive hockev. As time went on Ashburv became over anxious and ex- pended their energy, of which they did not have as much as usual, on fruitless solo rushes which lacked all hockey science. Bates and Craig both had excellent opportunities to pass to uncovered wings, instead they tried to split the defence only to lose the puck. In the last two minutes of the game Ashbury who were improving a little nearly scored when Smellie rushed in to secure a rebound. Reed dived and fell on the puck just preventing a score. It was a disappointing exhibition of hockey in which no-one played anywhere near his usual form. Line-ups : — Ashbury — Goal, Gilmour ; defence, Stanfield, L.

S. — Goal, Reed; defence, Duggan and Taylor; centre, Kenny ; wings, Riddell and Coristine ; subs, Drurv, Glass and Davis,
