THE ASHBURIAN l27I score. Ashbury's attack was lacking in drive in the early stages of the game, but in the latter half it gained momentum and the Journal-Citizen goaler dis- played several sensational saves. Moffatt scored first for Ashbury, on a pass from Croil, and Renaud drove in the second assisted by Bourget. VERSUS ALL-STARS, WON 6 - 5 The return game with the All-Stars was played at the Auditorium on February l9th. Ashbury got off to a bad start and dropped behind on the Scoring by four goals in the first period. All-Stars held their lead till midway through the game. The Saurkrauts brought Ashbury back into the picture when Moffatt scored the first of his three identical counters on a pass from Bourget. The second followed minutes later with Croil also figuring in the play. Ashbury continued to put on the pressure as Bailey and Winter drove home valuable shots to tie the Score, and Moffatt's third goal put the School out in front. Winter chalked up his second tally to give Ashbury a 6 - 4 lead which was held until the dying moments, when All-Stars scored on a breakaway. VERSUS BlSl-lOP'S COLLEGE SCHOOL, AWAY, LOST l - 4 Ashbury's first game in defence of the Old Boys' Cup was played in Mon- treal on February Zlst against B.C.S. The match was played at the Forum and the good ice sheet made for fast hockey. Ashbury opened with a strong attack and came close to scoring, but B.C.S. weathered the short burst of superiority, breaking away to take an early lead. Pitffeld beat McKinley from close in and Evans put Bishop's ahead 2 - O before the end of the first period. - Evans tallied again shortly after the beginning of the second period and the B.C.S. lead was raised to three goals. Ashbury retaliated however, and Winter drove home a shot from close in, assisted by Bailey and Howsam. Bishop's scored again before the halfway mark in the period as a result of an effective power play, Lynn of B.C.S. drew the only penalty of the period for tripping. There was no scoring in the third period, and MacDonald, playing the last half of the game in the Ashbury nets, turned in a fine effort to shut out a powerful offensive. Each team enjoyed a temporary advantage as Moffatt and Lynn served minor penalties, but Ashbury's attack lost some of its sting when Croil incurred, and continued to play with a leg injury. The final whistle found B.C.S. victorious by a 4 - l score. VERSUS LOWER CANADA COLLEGE, HOME, LOST l - 8 Lower' Canada College came to Ottawa to play Ashbury on February 28th for the Ashbury Old Boys' Cup. The game was played at the Auditorium and a win or a tie would give the trophy to the Montreal team. L.C.C. opened with a fast offensive which they maintained throughout, and combining this with accurate back-checking, they gained a well-deserved vic- tory. Ashbury fought hard but were unable to keep up with a superior attack.

N article in the last issue of the Ashburian announced the formation of a basketball league in the Senior School, and stated that a complete schedule of games would be organized for the six teams during the winter. Unfortunately the demands of other winter sports forced the with- drawal of many boys from the league, but two teams, the Reds and the Whites, carried on. Time was found to play four scheduled matches along with several other games, a feature of which was the high scoring. Although the first game ended in a 50 - 50 deadlock, the Reds ultimately proved themselves superior, by scores of 67 - 46, 50 - 45, and 42 - 32. Mc- Laren l was the individual high scorer, with 9l paints, while the two captains, Howsam and Heath, held second and third places respectively.
