Havergal Hockey Team, 1913 Jan. 28th — Boarders vs. Day Girls. — Both teams were pretty even, and the score remained at 1 all when the bell called the teams in. Feb. 11th — Mistresses vs. Boarders. — This match always causes great excitement, and this year was no exception. The Mis- tresses ' team suffered somewhat from want of practice and cer- tainly from loss of skates. However, Miss Hewton and Miss Thompson put up a vigorous defence, while Miss Shewell and Miss Holditch each shot a goal. The match was a drawn one — 2 goals all. March 5th — Havergal vs. St. Johns College Ladies ' Team. — This match was very eagerly anticipated and much enjoyed. The 63

Havergal College Magazine notes a greater evenness of play and attention to rules. However, running with the ball was responsible for a penalty goal, which made the Day Girls victorious with a score of 4 goals to 3. Millie Clarke scored two of the Boarders ' goals and Thelma Duncan one. Marian Sweeny, a sure thrower in for the Day Girls, played a good combination game with Laura Agnew, and between them they scored four goals. Tuesday, Oct. 8th — Day Girls vs. Boarders. — This game also proved a close one. Thelma Duncan threw in well and scored most of the goals, as Mollie Clarke was prevented by illness from playing. The score would have been much greater for the win- ning side if Dorothy Colcleugh had not put up such a vigorous and determined defence. Elsie Scrimes played her usual good game, and from the centre kept the team well knit together. Tuesday, Oct. 15th — Day Girls vs. Boarders. — The last match of the season was won by the Day Girls ' team — 18 goals to 4. Rally., Boarders. Oh, Boarders, haste and rally — The Day Girls have you beat. Four matches theirs — and shall ye Be content with such defeat ? HOCKEY Hockey ! hockey ! Who are we ? We are the girls of the H. L. C. Zick, zack, zockey! We play hockey ! We are Havergal ! Hear us yell — H-A-Y-E-B-G-A-L ! The rink was ready when the girls came back after the Christ- mas holidays, and skating was soon in full swing. Hockey has been very successful this year partly owing to the energetic sweep- ing, shovelling and brushing of the rink-sweepers, who endeavored energetically to keep the rink clear of snow. There are still, how- ever, a few girls who are content to see their share being done by proxy. Let us hope that their consciences will give a big prick when they read these lines, and that they will be more public-spirit- ed next season. 62 I

Havergal College Magazine visitors found our snow-walls, from which it was impossible to fence 7 and a more Arctic temperature than that to which they had been used in their closed rink, put them at a decided disadvan- tage. Margaret McNab succeeded in putting in a goal for Haver- gal during the first minute of play, and Elsie Scrimes netted four more before half-time. The second half was much more even, St. John ' s attacking more vigorously and shooting one goal, while Havergal did not score again. After the match the teams discussed the match and afternoon tea together very amicably. March 11th — Havergal vs. St. Joints Ladies ' . — The return match was played on the splendid covered-in rink at St. John ' s Col- lege, and resulted in another victory for Havergal. On this occa- sion the game proved very exciting, as the teams were much more evenly matched and the play much (pucker. Elsie Scrimes was unfortunate in losing her skate, but Gladys Phinney moved up as rover, played a splendid game, and scored the only goal of the afternoon. Margaret McNab again distinguished herself, while iSTellie Snowden and Antoinette Sapte played up well to the end. Gladys McDougall was sure as coverpoint, and Bertha Logan in goal stopped several hot shots. After the game Miss Manwaring, the St. John ' s College can- tain, invited the team into the ladies ' parlor, where the visitors were entertained right royally to afternoon tea. WALKING CLUB The Walking Club is formed to enable girls who like long walks to indulge in that most enjoyable form of exercise. On Fri- day afternoons in the spring and fall the Club meets, and, under the guidance of Miss Holditch, outings are taken to parks and pleasant spots in the vicinity of the city. The Weather Clerk was most unkind to the Club last fall, and heavy rains frequently oc- curring on Fridays stopped the energetic ones. Perhaps the most enjoyable walk was that around Kildonan when we visited the old Presbyterian church there, were rowed across the ferry on the Red River, and raced along the Elmwood Road to catch the last car which would bring us back in time for tea. I must not forget to mention the u j: aper chase Avhich ended the walks of last spring. Dorothy Colcleugh and Helen Lethbridge proved most elusive hares and led the hounds over brooks, through ponds and scrub, down blind tracks where the scent was lost, and finally, evading all pur- suers, reached home long before the hounds. Already there are rumors that another paper chase will be organized by the Walking Club. 64
