Some doubt existed, however, for the greatest part of the team had to be developed from new men. Tracer and Hays were the Only 01d players, with Perman joining late in the season. The ball was started rolling on December 8, when the Smith- field Athletic Club met our boys in the Washburne rink. The game was played with a crushing defeat'for the club. The next game was also played with the Smithfield Athletic Club. The game was fast from start to finish, but the soothsayers were again-defeated, with a greater loss than before. On the 13th of January the High School team went to Harris- burg and played the Athletic Club of that place. But owing to the fact that their team was composed of large and experienced men, our boys were defeated. On January 20th, after a long drive, our team was defeated by the Brownsville High School. Owing to the small hall and Browns- ville,s determination to play a rough game, it made conditions worse for our team. When time was called for the hrst half the score was 3 to 16 in favor of Brownsville. But the last half was not so c-ne-sided as the first, for when the final whistle blew the score was 13 to 31 in favor of Brownsville. One of the fastest games of the season was played in the Wash- burne rink, when the Brownsville High School played the return game. The game was full of'snap and tire 211 the time, bUt 92
