THE ASHBURIAN 15 Bates as usual, skated through the opposition time and time again but he could not beat Baker. The first U. C. C. goal cam.e from Dewar, who went through alone and beat Gilmour. It was Dewar again who added the second goal on a lone rush. The second period was very even, starting quite fast and slow- ing down appreciably. Ashbury were through several times but the passing lacked the precision of the previous day and opportunities t o score were lost. Towards the end of the period Bates had to retire with an injury to his knee. His place was filled by T. Bates and Craig alternately. With Bates off everyone made greater ef- forts and both Fauquier and Smellie were unlucky not to score but Baker was playing a splendid game in the U. C. C. nets and saved his team continually. In the last period U. C. C. back checked stubbornly and Ash- bury had to resort to long shots. In the closing stages of the game May scored the third U. C. C. goal on a solo effort. Line-up : — Ashbury — Goal, Gilmour; defence, Stanfield and L. Bates; centre, Beardmore ; wings, Smellie and Fauquier ; subs., Gausden, Craig, T. Bates and Coristine. U. C. C. — Goal, Baker; defence, Blair and Dewar r centre, May; wings, Allan and Magladery ; subs., Eckhardt, Musgrave and Gundy. HOUSE MATCHES In the first round of the senior house matches Ottawa played Dominion. On paper Dominion had a very strong team, no less than five colours. Ottawa, however, gave them a very good game, and it was not until the last period when Ottawa ' s lack of spares made itself felt that Dominion showed any very marked superiority. In the first period Gilmour in goal was almost unbeatable and Smellie worked all over the ice breaking up numerous plays, with an effective poke-check, before they became dangerous. Fauquier scored the only goal in this period. In the second period Ottawa continued doggedly to hold Dom- inion and again only one goal was scored, this time by Southam. In the third period while Smellie was in the penalty box for body-checking Southam in mid-ice L. Bates and Southam both

14 THE ASHBURIAN The second period opened with Ashbury very much on the aggressive. The defence were swinging out wide passes to the wings who gathered them well and showed skillful combination which baffled U. T. S. After two minutes Bates passed to his wing, fol- lowed up and was in position for the return pass from which he beat the goal-keeper. In the middle of the period Smellie skirted the defence and placed a fast drive in the corner of the net putting Ashbury in the lead. In the closing minute Bates out-maneuvered the entire opposition and put Ashbury two goals up. The third period opened with U. T. S. trying hard to lessen the Ashbury lead but Ashbury were still on the offensive, that being the best method of defence against a fast skating team such as U. T. S. Mid-way through the period after good combination Bates secured his third goal. In the closing minutes of the game U. T. S. sent four and five men up but owing to exceptional goal keeping by Gilmour they were only able to score one goal. It would be invidious to mention any one Ashbury player when all the team worked their hardest and played good hockey through- out a very hard and keenly fought game. Line-ups : — U. T. S. — Goal, Hannam and Dickinson ; defence, Williamson and Donovan; wings, McLean and Hendry; centre, Ferguson; subs., Copp, Boddington, Cunningham, McPherson, Keith and Kerr. Ashbury College — Goal. Gilmour; defence, L. Bates and Stan- field ; centre, Beardmore ; wings, Fauquier and Smellie ; subs., Craig, Gausden, T. Bates and Coristine. Referee — Jimmy Loftus. ASHBURY vs. UPPER CANADA COLLEGE. Played at the Arena Gardens. Wednesdav, March 6th. Lost 0-3. Ashbury showed the effects of the previous day ' s struggle, and although everyone gave of his best there was not the same finish to the play that there would have been had the team been fresh. Gilmour particularly was inclined to be listless, the only occasion during a long season, and let in two goals he would usually have had no difficulty in stopping.

16 THE ASHBURIAN scored for Dominion. In the closing minutes of the game Stanfield added to the score bringing it up to five. Line-up : — Ottawa — Gilmour, goal ; Guthrie, Rowley, defence ; Smellie, centre ; MacCarthy, Campbell, wings ; Ewart, spare. Dominion — MacBrien, goal ; Stanfield, Bates I, defence ; Southam, centre ; Fauquier, Bates II, wings ; Thomas, Elwood, Kelly, spares. In the second round Dominion beat Montreal 3-2. Again Dom- inion had the stronger side on paper but they had to work hard for their victory. Two twenty minute periods were played. In the first period Montreal seemed afraid to leave their own blue line so that Dominion had most of the play. T. Bates opened the scoring when he netted a rebound. Shortly afterwards L. Bates put Dominion further ahead. Towards the close of the period Pero- deau, who was seizing his opportunities of shooting, beat MacBrien with a low shot from the wing. In the second period Montreal attacked more and had a large share of the game. They well deserved the equalizing goal which Craig scored. The goal itself was a lucky one as MacBrien swept it in as he was getting up after falling to save. Both teams worked hard for the deciding goal but neither could score and the game went into overtime. After four minutes of overtime Southam scored with a good shot from the wing while Beardmore was serving a penalty. Line-up : — Montreal — Robinson, goal ; Ritchie, Craig, defence ; Beardmore, Gausden, wings, Coristine ; centre, Perodeau. Dominion — MacBrien, goal; Bates I, Stanfield; defence, Fau- quier, Bates II; wings, Southam, centre; Elwood, Thomas, Kelly, spares. BOLSHEVIK HOCKEY There were several attempts at Hockey this year. Some of the more advanced students could stand up, a nd the number of pucks found in Lindenlea is evidence of the shooting powers of some of the players.
