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.

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

THE ASHBURIAN 17 The shriek of the whistle is heard from afar, The peace of an afternoon to mar, While from the big rink ' s snowy border May be viewed a scene of wild disorder. A timorous cozvering referee Is the centre figure of a group of three ; The other two zvith stocks on high, Revile each other to the sky. The rival teams zvith taunts and oaths Azvait once more the signs to close — The dropping of a round black puck. The players start to run amuck. The whole idea of the game is gone, But the thirst for blood still lingers on. Until at length, the others prone, The goalers face it out alone. An easy shot — just one, no more — Along the ice, and the game is o ' er. A goaler retires, covered zvith shame. Need I mention that goaler ' s name? — Somniosus. SECOND TEAM, The School played S. Alban ' s at Brockville on February 13th and were beaten 3-4 after a good game. The first period was fairly evenly contested and it was not until near the end that Loomis scored for S. Alban ' s. The lead was short lived as Coris- tine went through almost at once and scored for the School. In the next period each side scored once, Elwood and Coristine showing good combination which resulted in the former ' s equal- izing the score. The Ashbury back checking was weak in the third period and Loomis was twice allowed to penetrate the de- fence single handed and put S. Alban ' s two goals ahead. Ash- bury tried hard to reduce the deficit and in the last few minutes of the game Gilmour scored our final game. The School side all played sound hockey though there was no outstanding performer, and they undoubtedly lost the game during the early part of the third period when the defence temporarily went to pieces. Ashbury was represented by the following: — Garvock, Gilmour, Guthrie, Perodeau, Coristine 1, Elwood.
