THE ASH BU RI AN 29 JUNIOR SCHOOL HOCKEY THANKS to the kind co-operation of the Principals of Rockcliffe and Eastview Pubhc Schools we were able to form a triangular league which gave our Junior skaters plenty of hockey. Many hard fought games were played and though we tied some, we, alas! were unable to pull off a victory. W c did, however, get lots of good experience which should stand us in good stead next season. Our weakest point was undoubtedly the inability of the team, almost without exception, to shoot; but for this failing our season might have been much more successful. We look forward to the continuance of this league next season. SKI FIELD THIS season there was a large turnout for the skiing field, and it can be safely said that good times M ' ere enjoyed by all who spent many pleasant days on the white slopes of the park and on the steeper hills of Camp Fortune, where the more skilled and adventurous found greater excitement. Under the watchful eye of Mr. Polk, the field master, and of the captain, Scott Price, there were no mishaps or accidents— beyond a few broken skis and poles. Our most sincere thanks must be given to Mr. Wright for his welcome encouragement to the team, and for his securing the services of Mr. Ian Fripp for several weeks as a coach for the team. Under the latter ' s teaching many mistakes were corrected, and our standing in the Interscholastic ski meets was appreciably raised. On January 30th our ski team, consisting of Price, Brownlee, Denney, Hampson, and Ross, left for the Seignory Club where they competed in a two day meet for the Dunning Trophy. The boys were well received and were carried off to the club in horse-drawn sleighs. Saturday found the team racing over the five mile cross country trail. In this no individual from Ashbury came first, but a sixth place out of the nine teams entered was obtained, and Hampson must be given great credit for his good work. On Sunday the slalom and downhill were held under perfect snow conditions. In the downhill, Scott Price placed fourth, two tenths of a second behind the winner. On the slalom slopes we also found our captain with an eighth place out of the forty-five competitors. The combined standing for the entire meet was seventh place and here at least we enjoyed some measure of satisfaction in coming out ahead of our rivals, L.C.C. Due to adverse climatic conditions in February the meet with B.C.S., held annually at Hill Crest in North Hatley had to be post- poned for a week. For this reason the ski team did not leave until the last week in February. The boys were well received in Lennoxville by

28 THE ASH BU RI AN SECOND FIELD HOCKEY Goal— hyon Forivards Brown I Mclnnes Cray Weeks Baldwin Travers Parsons Defe77ce Darby McLaren Cotter Macdonald (Capt.) Manager— Bzskerville I THE weather for hockey out of doors was good throughout the winter, and the Second Field were able to practice regularly at the Lindenlea rink through the cooperation of the Playground authori- ties of the city. Although our scoring statistics were somewhat disappointing, much valuable experience was gained in the four games that were arranged with other schools. In the first of these, a strong-skating and hard-shooting Under i6 team from Bishops handily defeated us at the Auditorium to the tune of 6-0. Perhaps this convincing hockey lesson was salutory for although the odds did not seem in our favour for the return match in Lennox- ville after a long train trip, we played a far stronger game of hockey and were in possession of a one goal lead due to some neat work by Brown I within 10 seconds of the opening whistle. The remainder of the game was very even, and although Bishops succeeded in tying the score, the play was perhaps more on their half of the ice. Darby and Macdonald played strongly on defence and Lyon, under his father ' s eye was at times sensational in goal. Final score i-i. The next game was against Lakefield, played in Ottawa. For some reason, perhaps over-confidence, we did not show the same determina- tion and skill as against Bishops . Having played well in Lakefield the year before only to lose a very close decision, we were looking for their scalps but had to be content with a good look at their heels, and were soon faced with a 2 goal deficit which was increased to 4 by the final whistle. Lakefield showed more skating ability and polish around the net and thoroughly deserved to win as they did in convinc- ing fashion. Our last game of the season was again on Auditorium ice, and our opponents a well drilled team from Sedbergh. It was a very even and exciting game with Ashbury holding a one goal lead until midway through the final period when one of our defence unluckily deflected the puck into his own net in attempting to clear; Sedbergh scored again and emerged the winners at 4-3. We look forward with pleasure to a regular schedule of games with Sedbergh next year as they indicated that they will have a rink of their own. The proximity of Montebello to Ottawa will make home-and-home games easy to arrange.
