As is the first job of all Holderness hockey teams, we had the initial task of putting up for the n th time the once hard and solid, but now rotten and crumbling, boards. After many a slip of the hammer and an unknown number of sore thumbs, the boards were finally righted and the rugged ordeal of flooding set in. Here, again, we ran up against another hurdle on the road to a hockey rink. With a mountain-like hump running the length of the rink, the valleys on each side took a con- siderable amount of water before the top of our miniature Mt. Everest was finally reached. Every night until such ungoldly hours as two, three, and four, one could look out his window Cif he felt rugged enough to face the inevitable blast of frigid air coming in his room! and see the figure of some hockey player or draftee keeping vigil with a garden hose. Finally, however, we had completed a fairly satisfactory rink and were ready to start our season. The first two games with Franklin and K. U. A. were lost 2-0. The next game, how- ever, we played at home with Tilton and were unable to break, even in overtime, a 1-1 tie. Upon returning from Christmas vacation we traveled to Tilton and amid a snow storm lost by our now usual score, 2-0. Our next game took us out of the 2-0 rut with a com- plete defeat at the hands of a far superior Franklin team, 6-0. Our next trip brought us to New Hampton where we achieved our first victory, the score, 3-1. Our last game, also, was a victory which was nabbed with 38 seconds of playing time remaining, and gave us a 4-5 lead which we held for the last seconds of the game. Although winding up with four losses, one tie, and two victories, We had more enjoy- ment and plain fun than many a winning team. Thus, basing our success on the reason for which we went out for hockey, enjoyment, we had a successful season.

The record of six wins and seven defeats is not impres- sive but there were various highlights dur- ing the season, which made it definitely worth while. After only one week of practice, Mr, Carey had molded five players who had never played together before into a co-ordinated unit. These five-Captain and back guard Don Wallwork, high scorer John Codman, six foot five-inch Ted Jenkel, Ted Jose and Bob Bradner-held their starting positions all year, although Lee Bright also saw a great deal of action. But on December tenth, against Belmont, no one knew how this squad would perform. They soon found out, however, for they saw a good scoring com- bination, a successfully executed zone defense and a well-balance, aggressive team. Belmont fell 30-14. A week later Holder- ness defeated Plymouth for the first time in four years. Against New Hampton the quintet cli- maxed a fourth period scoring spree by winning in overtime 32-28. Later they swamped Kimball Union 43-24-a direct re- sult of the year's best shooting performance. However, after building a six won and three lost record the team fell out of fortune's good graces. Their two great weaknesses, passing and backboard control, caught up with them and although the players staged some brilliant rallies in these games, they couldn't play sound basketball for the full thirty-two minutes. Despite these late season failures, the team was a strong club. Everyone was valuable, no one was indispensable. The subs were capable and offer good possibilities for next year. Throughout a tough schedule, under the more than satisfactory direction of Mr. Carey, they gave nearly every op- ponent a very tough battle, there is nothing for this team to be ashamed of.
