RAREBITS 65 T215 if 15.1-I.. .ll-Inrkeg 'ram Pi Em TTEN. BORISUK y The B. H. S. hockey team drew a bye in their group this year and thus played exhibition games in the early part of the season to get into condition for the real events. CENTRAL GANTE-Th6 Hamilton Cen- tral C. I. came here to play us the first game of the season. Although some of our players were unavailable. a snappy game of hockey was played. The final score was 5 to 2 in favour of Central. They won the game partially due to the marvellous saves of their goal keeper. GRIMSBH' GADiE'XVC have always had a warm spot in our hearts, when meeting Grimsby in any athletic activity. The game with them this year was no excep- tion. The first two periods resulted in a scoreless tie-thanks to our defensemen. The last period finished with some real hockey. Our speed artists soon put in two sure goals. The game ended with a score of 2 to 1 in favour of Burlington. CANADA BUSINESS GAME-Uur third game was played with the boys from Canada Business College of Hamilton. The game was close and fast: the players sure and quickg both goal keepers were on the job. The game ended 1 to 1. A period overtime was played but the tie was unbroken. O.A.C. GAME-Qur last exhibition game was played with the second team from the Untario Agricultural College. Good hockey was displayed by both teams but they were too big for us. The game ended against us with a scoreof2to-1. DUNNVILLE GAME-The first league game was played with Dunnville who were the winners of their district. A great game was enacted before a large crowd that was eager with excitement and shouted at all intervals. From the first our boys proved their superiority. The game ended with a score of 5 to 1 in our favour. Although defeated the Dunnville boys were real sports and showed further their fine spirit at the lunch prepared for them at the school. The return game was defaulted. OR.ANGEVILLE GAME-'Oli a rather wild day we journeyed in cars to Urange- ville. In spite of the fact that the country was snow-bound and the weather was getting sharp, when we landed there the ice was rather soft in the first period. A large crowd witnessed the clash. The first period closed with a score of 1 to 1. Luck seemed to be against us and Tre- land didn't seem to be able to stop the puck. The crowd went wild after each goal made by the Orangeville boys. Again and again our boys rushed up the ice with only the goalie to beat: but he always got in the way. The game fin- ished with a score of 1 'to 4 in favour of Orangeville. We were beaten but not disheartened. Vile were out to win. The last game was a victory but un- fortunate. We showed ourselves to be the better team but couldn't overcome the lead. In the first period Burlington obtained a goal. The same thing hap- pened in the second round. The crowd was going wild and a real hope was in sight. One more goal to tie the game and then on to victory. We had everything to win but nothing to lose. Again lady luck was against us. Two long shots and the score was tied. This didn't dishearten us. Another goal was made. With the whole team swarm- ing around the Orangeville net the game ended with a score of 5 to 2. The game was won yet lost, the score on the round being -I to 6. This ended the season and we returned home to put away our uni- forms to be forgotten until the next season. Line up-lreland tgoallg Berry tLeft Defencel, Borisuk CR. Defencel: Aic- Millan L.
