1301 THE ASHBURIAN MACNABB l-lst year: Middlei runs well from formation and tackles fairly, but should do both with more energy, and pay more attention to inter- ference. THOMAS I--2nd yeari Outside: an exceptionally fine pass receiver, but must realize that tackling and blocking are no less the duties of Outside Wing: has great possibilities. PRICE-lst year: Quarterback: showed considerable promise as a caller of plays and tackled finely. I SPIELMAN-lst year: Inside: strong and willing in both blocking and tackling but must learn to think under fire. DANIELS I-lst year: Outside: a keen tackler with a useful turn of speed: must develop his pass receiving. -,,,,,i HOCKEY: 1943. FIRST Vi COLOURS-R. C. Bourget R. B. Renaud R. G. R. Lawrence l-l. B. Moffatt. l-lE season of i943 opened with a useful squad of experienced players remaining from last year, and some promising recruits, and hopes were high for a successful series of fixtures. That the results were somewhat disappointing was no fault of coach or players. The loss of Moffatt early in the season was a cruel blow, and the absence of key men from some of the crucial games took its inevitable toll. As Captain, Bourget set a high standard of play and department and fired his team with much of his own enthusiasm. Once again the School was fortunate in enjoying the services of Mr. W. J. Touhey as Coach. l-lis instruction in the fundamentals and in the finer points of the game was beyond praise, and his insistence on sound condition and the most rigorous canons of sportsmanship inculcated lessons of even more import- ance. We hope that we may long be privileged to benefit from the experience of so genial, so keen and so efficient an instructor. Same enjoyable practice games were played in the earlier weeks of the season with local teams, those with the fast-skating Gladstone squad being of particular value. ln two private school games, we were unfortunate in meeting two exceptionally fine and well-balanced opponents, whose combination of speed and strength with well-executed concerted plays was too much for us. In neither game were we at full strength, and in the BCS. fixture particularly were definitely short-handed. Determination to rise to the occasion on the part of both the older and the less experienced members kept the score within reasonable bounds on both occasions, but scaring punch was lacking, and our defence caught too often on the wrong foot. A pleasing feature of the season was the keenness of the younger mem- bers of the squad, among them some of our English visitors, who have developed
