THE ASHBURIAN 11 which brought the scoring to a close. L.C.C. sat back and played a defensive game for the rest of the period and the game ended 2—2. Line up — Ashbury : Goal : Gilmour ; Defence : L. Bates, T. Bates ; Forwards : Beard- more, Coristine, Smellie ; Subs: Craig, Fauquier, Thomas, Elwood. — D. M. W. ASHBURY vs. CLARKSON TECHNICAL COLLEGE Played at Potsdam, N.Y., Jan. 17th. Lost 3—1. The game was played in the Tech ' s open door rink and, although the weather was very cold, the game kept the interest of all, and the temperature was not noticed. Three twenty-minute periods were played. The puck see-sawed between the two goals, both tenders showing themselves at their best. ' Buzz Williams and Lou Bates were playing brilliantly, and the crowd of several hundred were on their feet. The second period opened with several rushes by the Clarkson men, and after six minutes ' play, I. Houston shot from a face-off and put the first goal of the game past Gilmour. The game was resumed with renewed vigor and several penalties — P. Donald and Lou Bates being put off for heavy playing. This period was featured by the excellent goal tending of Gilmour, who from 21 shots only passed one. Fifty seconds after the start of the 3rd period Williams scored a great unassisted goal after passing the entire Ashbury team. This had the effect of putting Ashbury on their mettle, resulting in a lovely, unassisted goal from Fauquier, who skated through the whole team. A half minute later Williams on a pass from R. Houston scored the final goal of the game. Ashbury tried hard and although they were able to break through the Clarkson defence, Easton, the home goalie, was too good for them. Much praise is due to Gilmour for keeping the score as low as it was. For Clarkson, Easton and Williams stood out, while the whole Ashbury team showed up well against their older and more ex- perienced opponents. Line Ups : — Ashbury — Goal :Gilmour ; Defence : Craig, L. Bates ; Forwards : Beardmore, Smellie, Coristine ; Subs : Elwood, Fauquier, Thomas, T. Bates. Clarkson — Goal : Easton ; Defence : Burk, Guest ; Forwards : Oonald, WilHams, and I. Houston ; Subs : R. Houston, Levia and Reneke. — D. M. W.

10 THE ASHBURIAN and T. Bates whose hard work when called upon and unfailing good humour at all times has helped very considerably the co-ordination of the team for the past two years, and E. Beardmore a hard working and polished centre. Everyone can look back upon the last three seasons with satisfaction. The standard of hockey at Ashbury has advanced considerably and the whole team which has been together for so long are to be heartily congratulated. And while not decrying the work of any one individual when all have done so well, we must give the largest share of credit to Gilmour, whose ability as a goal- keeper and captain inspired the confidence which brings success. In spite of the number of hockey players leaving this year, we can look to the future with the utmost confidence. Smellie, with three years ' experience behind him, and Coristine, Elwood, Perodeau and Thomas can be trusted to uphold the traditions of the past. D. M. Woods fully justified his selection as manager, carrying out his many tasks to the satisfaction and assistance of all. B. Robinson whose ability as a goal-keeper has somewhat suffered by comparison with the outstanding skill of Gilmour shared in the successes of the team both as spare goal-keeper and on account of the help which he was always ready to give. -J. R. P. ASHBURY vs. L.C.C. Played at the Forum, Montreal, Sat. Feb. 15th. Drawn 2 — 2 Two twenty-minute periods were played, in which Ashbury had much the better of the play, but careless work in front of goal lost them the game. L.C.C. worked hard and made the most of every opportunity. The first period started was very fast. Fauquier was sent off for heavy playing and Carsley opened the scoring by netting an easy one past Gilmour fourteen minutes after the start of the game. Shortly after the face-off Carsley and Craig were given a rest for heavy checking and were later joined by Eraser and Campbell. The period ended L.C.C. 1 — Ashbury 0. SmelHe, on an assist from L. Bates, opened the second period by scoring five minutes after the period began. The game seemed to be improving with both teams working harder. Coristine was through twice but each time shot wide, and several other chances for goal were lost through not passing or passing to the wrong wing. Two minutes after Ashbury ' s goal, Roughton scored for L.C.C The play was level, neither team having any noticeable advantage until ten minutes later L. Bates scored one of his typical solo goals

12 THE ASHBURIAN ASHBURY vs. BISHOP ' S COLLEGE SCHOOL Played at the Forum, Mon., Feb. 24th. Draw 2 — 2. This game was played in three fifteen-minute periods. The first period was rather slow, both teams testing the goal keepers with long shots and waiting for a break. Ashbury opened the scoring when, with the Bishop ' s forwards down, L. Bates secured the puck, broke fast, and scored an unassisted goal. The second period was much faster. The Ashbury forwards indulged in good combination and went through a number of times, but erratic shooting marked what was otherwise good hockey. Bishop ' s played a more open game this period and Ashbury showed good back checking. L. Bates scored again for Ashbury and McLennan opened the Bishop ' s scoring. For the first ten minutes of the third period Ashbury pressed constantly but were pulled up on many occasions for skating ahead of the puck. With five minutes to go, an epidemic for rough play broke out amongst Ashbury and as a result the game was thrown away. Craig Bates n and Beardmore followed each other to the penalty bench in quick succession. Bishop ' s made the most of their opportunity and, with two minutes to go, Coristine skated down his right wing, circled the defence, and lifted the puck into the corner of the net. This ended the scoring. -J. R. P. ASHBURY vs. WESTMOUNT HIGH SCHOOL Played at the Auditorium, Saturday, March 1st. Ashbury 2. W.H.S. 0. The following is the account which appeared in the Montreal Standard on Saturday, March 1st: — The Westmount High School hockey team, which swept through the Montreal School League to score ten victories in as many starts, were defeated for the first time this year in an interesting exhibition game at the Auditorium today by Ashbury College, of this city, by a score of 2-0. It was the first meeting of the two teams for two years. On the, occasion of their last meeting they tied here with a 3-3 score. It looked as if it was going to be another tie game until the final period, when the home team swept through to score their two goals. There was plenty of excitement in all three periods and both goal minders turned in splendid games. Gilmour in Ashbury College cage was in sensational form. He robbed the visitors of goals in all three periods. The home team was in on Markham on a number of occasions in the first two periods, but were unable to bulge the twine till the final session. Markham had little chance to save either of the two goals, as the scorers were right in on top of him.
