Had very little opportunity of gaining batting experience through going in late, but should improve greatly with a little practice next season. Very good in the field. jfnnthall 1938 Played T' Won 3 f Drawn 1 e Lost 3. A more successful season than the previous year, due to more experience and weight, but still somewhat disappointing. Owing to the increased numbers in the Senior School, opportunities for practice on the full Field were less than in other years, so that passing and shooting suffered accordingly. The bnder I5 team's record was none the less very good, beating LLQC. twice, winning one and tieing one against Ashbury, and going down ro only one defeat against a team of Masters and Old Boys. The bnder 14 team did not fare so well, being well beaten twice by a much faster and cleverer B.C.S. team. The first match was against Ashbury at Qttawa on Oct. 15th. Ballon scored from a free kick early in the iirst half, and Fleming soon after, from a melee in front of goal. Ashbury scored once in the second half and the game ended in a lei victory for Selwyn House. All played hard in spite of the hot weather, Goodall excelling at Half, but the passing was inaccurate and sometimes very weak. The return match at the Xyestmount Grounds on Oct. 27th. ended in a l all tie. Ashbury played a much stronger game than they did in Ottawa, but the Selwyn House forwards failed to get near enough to the goal to make any shots efiiective. Poor passing was again to blame. The two games against L.C.C. played at Royal Avenue on Oct. Illth and Nov. 10th were both won comfortably -l-O against a lighter and younger team, while the game against the Nlasters and Old Boys was lost by the same margin. Qlnlnurs. GOAL.

What promised to be a very good season was spoilt largely by the epidemic of colds and grippe which broke out in hlontreal in lfebruary. As a result, the return game against -Xshbury at Ottawa, and the Under I-I game against B.C.S. were scratched. There was however no lack of good ice, the school rink being in excellent condition throughout the season, thanks to the hard work put in on it by Huber. This year the hockey schedule was changed, a third period at the Coliseum being added for IA and IB on XYednesday morning. This additional time on a full size rink should be of great value to school hockey in the future. Blaiklock was captain again this year, and was fortunate in having six old Colours left, Sutherland in goal, l.ittle and Strong on the defence, and Birks, Fleming, and Goodall on the forward lines. Culver came in to the centre between Blaiklock and Goodall to make the first line, while Fleming, Ballon I and Birks teamed up on the second line. Goldbloom and Huestis were added to the defence and the team was complete. The opening game against I.,.C.C. at the Coliseum on Feb. I5th was drawn -I all, the team being weakened by the absence of Goodall, Blaiklock and Birks. On Feb. I7th. Ashbury visited us, and the game played at the Coliseum resulted in an easy victory for Selwyn House by 8-0, speed, experience, and age being the telling factors in our favour. The return game against I,.C.C. on March Ist ended in a O8 loss for Selwyn House. Both sides were handicapped by the mild weather and the badly cut ice, so that the shooting was dilhcult and very wild. l..C.C. broke away three times to get the puck past Sutherland. Neither Selwyn House lines got going properly, and were very ineffective in front of the net. 1 5 - --1 . - - .ln l nder In game was also played against LCC on laeb. llnd. ending in a 6-2 victory for us, in which Ballon ll with -I goals and Nlorgan with 2 excelled. l34l
