THE ASHBURIAN IZQI and Winter tallied to give the latter team a 3 - l lead Nearly half of the final period had passed before Woollcombe found themselves, to come back and tie the score on goals by Bailey and Bourget WCOLLCOMBE 6 CONNAUGHT O Connaught still had a slight edge in manpower, having eight men to Wooll- Combe's seven. The first period opened with a power play by Woollcombe which produced two goals, one by Pilgrim and the other by Bourget, Woollcombe maintained their offensive throughout the second period but could pierce Mac- Donald's armour only once for a lone goal by Croil, Constant pressure during the third period resulted in three more Woollcombe goals with Thomas, Moffatt, and Bourget as the marksmen. Heath was very unfortunate when he went through the whole Woollcombe team and just missed the corner of the net Heath and MacDonald were standout players for Connaught. WOOLLCOMBE 3 CONNAUGHT l This was the final game of the series, and the whole school went to the Auditorium to cheer for their respective houses. Woollcombe opened the scoring halfway through the first period on a goal by Bourget. Connaught retaliated, however, early in the second period on Howsam's goal. The last period opened strongly but no damage was done until the halfway mark. Woollcombe penetrated the Connaught defence and Bourget lobbed in a shot assisted by Bailey. A few minutes later Bailey clinched the verdict, driving in a long one from the left boards. Bourget, Renaud, Croil, and Bailey were stars of WooIlcombe's victory, while MacDonald and Heath stood out for Connaught. The lineups: Woollcombe-Goal, McKinley, defence, Bailey and Renaud, centre, Bour- get, wings, Croil and Moffatt, subs, Thomas l and Pilgrim. Connaught-Goal, MacDonald, defence, Heath and Lee, centre, Winter, wings, Lawrence and Howsam, subs, Preston, Bulpit, Brass, Read and Spafford. 1-z-o-:-- BASKETBALL . 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.
