Nw ev at -sa - L91 HOCKEY Again we are able to record a most successful season, and there is no doubt that the high standard, which has prevailed for some years now, is being well maintained. Two old Colours were left. but there was a number of recruits available, and they were gradually welded into a really sound combination. The team showed promise from the first but were a little slow in striking their best form, and it was rather unfortunate that sickness neces- siated the scratching of one or two school games at the end of the term, when the team was playing with marked ability. Wie were very fortunate this season in securing the services of jack Dunn as coach. His enthusiasm and ability were very in- fectious, and he succeeded in getting a marked response from the team. This year the Old Boys' Association very generously provided a cup for competition between Bishop's College School, Lower Can- ada College and ourselves. For the first time two fixtures were arranged with Bishop's College School, one in Lennoxville and the other in Ottawa. This is a welcome improvement on the arrangement of previous years by which one game was played in Montreal, and it is to be hoped that this will become an established practice. As Lower Canada could only play one game this year with each of the other two schools. we tossed with Bishops to decide which game was to count for the cup. Fortunately we won the toss so the game in Ottawa counted. Vie were beaten 4-2 at Lennoxville. on very heavy ice. which was somewhat of a handicap. The return game in Ottawa resulted in a tie, but Ashbury showed better staying power in the overtime periods and put on three goals without response. XVe beat Lower Canada in Montreal. 2-O, and so won the Cup in the first year of its history.
