A record of three wins and nine losses does not sig- nify outstanding success, but the season was better than the record suggests. Three of those nine losses were missed by a single point, while three others allowed only a two point margin. There were only three decisive defeats all season. The sextet defeated Westminister twice. The second game, which took place during a raging snow storm, was the only game of the season to be played on the Brunet Rink. The contest against Choate was the best game of the season. temperature Choate was just barely the South Kent sextet 3-2 on their own artihcial rink. On Washington's birthday, South Kent gained its third victory by downing Canterbury 5-4. john Farr scored four of the live goals.
