Varsity Hockey wins five, drops two Participation in hockey reached a new high this year - more players, more teams, more en- thusiasm. The varsity, braced with seven return- ing lettermen, met the alumni in its first game. The alumni, although they lacked depth on their team, pulled out a 3 - 2 win. The team faced Choate after Christmas vaca- tion, and started out their official season by win- ning 6 - 2. Gunnery, our next opponents, did not afford too much competition. In a one-sided game, GCDS won 7 - O, Ray Hornblower pulling a hat trick. In the same manner, the varsity beat St. Maryls 6 - 2. Although this was not our best- played game, GCDS clearly had the upper hand at all times. Ned Bunnell netted three in this game. Next we clashed with our old rival, New Ca- naan. In accordance with our style we outplayed 102 them but couldn't outscore them. The game went into a sudden-death overtime. New Canaan scored on a Ngarbagel' goal which was more luck than skill. With all hopes turned toward an undefeated season, this loss was a hard one for everyone. The team traveled to Taft for its next game. The team, skating on its first indoor rink, played an inspired game and beat its opponents 2-1. Kent, our next opponent, was not as challenging as was expected, and we defeated them 3 - 0. Scholastic pressures plus a slight sense of over- confidence were a factor in our last game. We were beaten by an inspired Brunswick team which was out to win- and did. This was a great let- down for the end of the season, but the team could nevertheless be proud of its record, realiz- ing that it played and defeated four prep schools during the course of the season.
