ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 27 Presenting the W. O. S. S. A. Hockey Champions MARTIN FOX alias Charleston,'- The goal tender, who has saved the team from many an awkward situation by his uncanny stops. 'fMarty would make a poor soldier, due to his abil-ity to stop shots. LINCOLN BROHMAN-Plays left defence, and is the popular captain. Link,' is the talented man on the team, a fast skater, a clean stick handler, and a most effective player. MORLEY CAIN-Comes from a hockey family and succeeded his broth- er, Bert, at right defence. He is every inch a hockey player, and few men get past him. EARL BRILL Curly',-At centre. has been the cause of many a goal tender turning gray-headed before his time. He is the ace when it comes to netting the puck, but hams been the hard-luck man. He received two nasty injuries while upholding the honor of the school, but always came back with a smile. KENNETH ATCHESON - Right wing. Kenny is a whirlwind on skates, and can cover three yards to th-e average skaters one. It is always a treat to watch Kenny take the con- ceit out of the goal-tenders. GEORGE FOX-He is Marty's', twin brother. Marty keeps the puck out at one end while George seems to glue it to his stick and take it to the other. He ranked third among the goal-get- ters. WILROSE REID-Prefers Pete He studied hockey in Acton, and can certainly do some actin at it. Play- ing at centre, he has a fake shot which fooled every goalie in the league. NELSON PlCKETT4 Nelly is a right hand shot, and plays equally well on the wing or defence. Even though slim, they found that they couldn't pick on t'Nelly. Jerry Cooke. The G. C.-V. I. hockey team excelled it.self this year by capturing the W. O. S. S. A. championship, and retaining the London Free Press trophy for an- other year. At the beginning of the season the outlook appeared blue since four members of the 1924-25 champion- ship team had left the school, however, under the able generalship of Coach Johnny Jones, the remnants of last year's team were linked with some new hockey talent, producing a team of which all Guelph is proud, and which reflects great credit upon the coach. Mr. Johnny Jones. The Guelph team was grouped this year with Galt and Stratford. In the first game, at Galt, the local squad emerged with a 5-2 victory. Galt de- faulted the return game. Stratford came next and playing the first game at home, Guelph won by the score of 5-2. A week later the return game was played in Stratford, and Guelph was againpvictorious to the tune of 3-2. This victory gave the locals the round by a four goal margin, and quali- -fied them to enter against Owen Sound in the semi-finals. The Owen Sound boys provided the fstiffest opposition of the season, and at the Hrst. game, played in the north- land, a tie resulted, 3-3. The return game, witnessed by about live hundred spectators, was one of the most thrill- ing games ever staged on the local arena. With only eight minutes to go, the northerners were leading 2-0. but it was during these eight. minutes that heart-failure was a pleasure for Guelph fans. since, in those minutes, they snatched a 4-3 victory out of what Seemed utter defeat, by their dogged determination to win. In the final games with London the Guelph team completely outclassed -their opponents. and won the round by 13 goals to 4. About eight hundred saw the Guelph game, but there were no thrills dispensed as in the Owen Sound game. The players are certainly to be con- gratulated upon their splendid achieve- ment, both la.st year and this year, in bringing in the W. O. S. S. A. champ- ionship. G. Cooke, Manager.
