FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1934-1935 The Jfatbers' jllklattb 1935 An exciting game with a moral - that you are never too old to play hockey, as the School learnt to their bitter experience! This year the Fathers, for the first time, came out of the fray the victors by 7 goals to 2. Weight and experience used to their full under the skillful leadership of Mr. Philip Mackenzie, literally crashed through the Selwyn defence, even to the extent of belying the prophecies of all the experts and scoring 5 goals in the last period. For the Fathers Mr. Magor was a tower of strength which obtruded itself into the School's most cunning tactics, while Mr. Culver in goal, stopping hot ones from Tomlinson, Hale and Phil Mackenzie, was a joy to watch. Mr. Paterson and Mr. Che- valier were the mainstay of the attack, each scoring 2 goals. For the School all played a strong though rather ineffective game. There was too little passing, which alone could have defeated the slower and heavier opposition. The fowards made some fine shots, while for the defence Barclay, Russel, and Hodge all worked hard, and Johnston came up the ice once to score a goal in the second period. Molson in goal was rather bewildered by the mass rush tactics of the opposition forwards. The School's only other goal was scored by Barclay. The scorers for the Fathers were:4 Mr. Savage ll J, Mr. Hanson ll 5, Mr. Paterson C2 J, Mr. Chevalier 12.3, and 1 from Molson's skate after a melee in front of our goal. Mr. VYalter Molson refereed the game with skill and due parental tolerance. The teams were as follows:- Thr Fzzilzerf: G. Hanson, A. Chevalier, :X.F. Culver, P. Mackenzie, Johnstone, H.lVI.

FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 193441935 We played Ashbury on the McGill Campus two weeks before school-closing. Ash- bury made the useful score of 157 not out for one innings, and we replied with 92 all out for two innings. A. Magee put up a sterling defence, but no one could stay with him for long. J. Hodge was captain. He is very keen and has a good knowledge of the game in addition to being an attractive bat. He made 97 in one School game. YY. Barclay has some good strokes and is learning to hit harder, he is a very promis- ing cricketer. ll. Peacock and P. Little both hit well and improved considerably. L. Tomlinson, a fearless hitter with a good eye, developed into a quick and sound wicket-keeper. P. Barott, another hitter, played some good innings, but must curb his impatience. S. Stewart is very persevering and his batting improved rapidly. P. Molson is an excellent fielder, but his batting lacked confidence and initiative. P. Russel, A. Magee and P. Mackenzie all show promise and are very keen, but must put in a great deal of careful practice. We were very fortunate in that after the close of the football season we were able to have cricket practice in the indoor nets at the M.:X.A..-X. The keenness shown was most gratifying. An example of the increasing interest in Cricket is the number of boys who now own their own bats. Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the importance of having one's own equipment. It need not be expensive equipment, but to use always a bat the size and balance of which one is used to, and to have a pair of properly studded boots in which one does not slip about either at the wicket or in the held, will materially help towards greater proficiency and more pleasure. The improvement made during the short period of indoor practice was very great. Stewart, Peacock and Tomlinson in particular gained confidence and began to play and hit with judgment and power. We also discovered two potential cricketers, Patch and Mcfuaig, both left hand bowlers of considerable promise, they should also make good bats 4 Patch a sound defensive one, and McCuaig an aggressive run-getter. The prospects for 1935 appear to be very bright.
