The First Eleven started its season with the Annual Ciame against the Ottawa Valley Cricket Club and was once again shown that experi- ence, plus ball control and skill at play-making will defeat conditioning plus enthusiasm, as we were defeated 2-l. However, the play of the team was encouraging as it showed that we were beginning to think and trying to play good soccer. Birou tallied once against O.Y.C.C. to spoil their shutout. We then played in an exhibition game against our toughest oppo- nent in the Eastern Division from last year, liastview. Our team func- tioned as a single unit in this game and aside from a few errors. caused by our enthusiasm and inexperience, played well.

J THE ASHBURIAN SoL'1tH.xM I: He was lost early to the team. At offensive guard and de- fensive end while with the squad, he showed good speed, aggressive- ness and judgement.

311 THE ASHBURIAN mond made sure of the game by blazing a shot which defiected in off an llastview defender. Exactly a week later we encountered Rideau H.S. in our first League game. Our team won this game by 2-0, with Raymond and Birou scoring. The highlights of this game were not the goals scored, but the goals that should have been scored as innumerable opportunities were missed. Dave Nlulaner registered his first shutout of the season. On Oct. 3 we played against Chateaugay, a High School from Mon- treal. lYe got off to a brisk start, Collyer scoring on a corner kick at the ten-minute mark. Ashbury sustained its strong attack and kept Chateaugay penned in its own half. Collyer scored on a cut-in to complete the half's scoring. In the second half our confidence took the sharpness from the defence, and as a result the play was more evenly divided. Mulaner had to make some dazzling saves to cover up for some equally dazzling defensive errors. Despite these lapses Ashbury, or rather Collyer, scored again to make the final score 3-0. Collyer scored the season's first hat trick and Dave Mulaner earned a well-deserved second shutout. Ashbury's next league game was against Gloucester, a team which had entered the league this year for the first time. lf there had been better weather instead of freezing temperatures and snow, we might have enjoyed this game as we won it 9-O. Ashbury scorers were led by Ray- mond with four goals, and singles were earned by Birou, Cooper, Collyer, Taschereau and Kambona. Nlulaner registered his third shutout. On Oct. 15 we played Eastview again, this time in a League game. The team rose admirably to the occasion winning 3-O, and thus assuming sole possession of first place in our division. Koussaya scored all three of the Ashbury goals, becoming the second Ashbury player to do so this season, and Xlulaner recorded his fourth consecutive shutout. The following Saturday the team played against Stanstead, which was one of the best Quebec HS. teams. Ashbury once again got off to a brisk start, with Raymond scoring a few minutes after the opening face-off. From then on Ashbury was kept scoreless for the rest of the half due to its own ineptness. Right off the second-half face-off lioussaya scored a fast goal, which caused everyone to become com- placent. Stanstead came back with a fast goal, and its offence gave Ash- bury a few anxious moments around the goalmouth. However, Ray- mond salted the game away for the team by scoring his second goal of the game. Our last League game outside the playoffs, was against Lisgar H.S. The team couldn't get started in this game. Mid-way through the game, Lisgar scored a picture goal. This aroused us from our complacency and within one minute we had tied the score. From that point on, even
